13.  Then began he to upbraid the people in every city wherein his mighty works were done, who received him not, saying,

14.  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

13.  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

15.  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.

14.  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

16.  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be cast down to hell.

15.  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

17.  And he said unto his disciples, He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him who sent me.

16.  He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

18.  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name. 

17.  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

19.  And he said unto them, As lightning falleth from heaven, I beheld Satan also falling.

18.  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

20.  Behold, I will give unto you power over serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

19.  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

21.  Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

20.  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

22.  In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from them who think they are wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes; even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

21.  In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22.  All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

24.  And he turned him unto the disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. 

23.  And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

25.  For I tell you, That many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 

24.  For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

27.  He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?

26.  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

28.  And he answering, said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. 

27.  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

29.  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right; this do, and thou shalt live.

28.  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

30.  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, and who is my neighbor?.

29.  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

31.  And Jesus answering, said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31.  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

33.  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked upon him, and passed by on the other side of the way; for they desired in their hearts that it might not be known that they had seen him.

32.  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

34.  And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

36.  And on the morrow, when he departed, he took money, and gave to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 

35.  And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

37.  Who now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him who fell among the thieves?.

36.  Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

38.  And he said, He who showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go and do likewise.

37.  And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

1.  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

2.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as in heaven, so in earth.

2.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

4.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

5.  And he said unto them, Your heavenly Father will not fail to give unto you whatsoever ye ask of him. And he spake a parable, saying,

5.  And he said unto them,

6.  Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 

Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

7.  For a friend of mine has come to me in his journey, and I have nothing to set before him; 

6.  For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

8.  And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

7.  And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

9.  I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

8.  I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

10.  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 

9.  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

11.  For every one who asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 

10.  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

12.  If a son shall ask bread of any of you who is a father, will he give him a stone? or, if a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?.

11.  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

13.  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

12.  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

14.  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give good gifts, through the Holy Spirit, to them who ask him. 

13.  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

14.  And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

16.  But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils.

15.  But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

17.  And others tempting, sought of him a sign from heaven.

16.  And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

18.  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided cannot stand, but falleth.

17.  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

19.  If Satan also be divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this, because you say I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

18.  If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

20.  And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast out devils? Therefore shall they be your judges. 

19.  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

21.  But if I, with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God has come upon you. 

20.  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

22.  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace;.

21.  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

23.  But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted and divideth his goods.

22.  But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

23.  He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

25.  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, it walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, it saith, I will return unto mine house whence I came out. 

24.  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

26.  And when it cometh, it findeth the house swept and garnished.

25.  And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

27.  Then goeth the evil spirit, and taketh seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in, and dwell there; and the last end of that man is worse than the first. 

26.  Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

28.  But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

29.  And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

31.  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation. 

30.  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

32.  The queen of the south shall rise up in the day of judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 

31.  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

33.  The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the day of judgment with this generation; and shall condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

32.  The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

34.  No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

33.  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

35.  The light of the body is the eye; therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 

34.  The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

36.  Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

35.  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

37.  If thy whole body therefore is full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle lighteneth a room and doth give the light in all the room.

36.  If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

38.  And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him; and he went in, and sat down to meat. 

37.  And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

39.  And when the Pharisee saw him, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.

38.  And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

40.  And the Lord said unto him; Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

39.  And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

41.  O fools, did not he who made that which is without, make that which is within also?.

40.  Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

42.  But if ye would rather give alms of such things as ye have; and observe to do all things which I have commanded you, then would your inward parts be clean also. 

41.  But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

43.  But I say unto you, Woe be unto you, Pharisees! For ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment, and the love of God; These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

42.  But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

44.  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 

43.  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

45.  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are as graves which appear not, and the men who walk over are not aware of them.

44.  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

46.  Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also. 

45.  Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

47.  And he said, Woe unto you, lawyers, also! For ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 

46.  And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

48.  Woe unto you! For you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 

47.  Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

49.  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.

48.  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

50.  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute;. 

49.  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

51.  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple.

50.  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51.  From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple:

52.  Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

53.  Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge, the fullness of the scriptures; ye enter not in yourselves into the kingdom; and those who were entering in, ye hindered.

52.  Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

54.  And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be angry, and to urge vehemently, endeavoring to provoke him to speak of many things;.

53.  And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

55.  Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. 

54.  Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

CHAPTER 12

CHAPTER 12

2.  For there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed; neither hid which shall not be known. 

2.  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

4.  And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do; 

4.  And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5.  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear; fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

5.  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

9.  But he who denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

9.  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

10.  Now his disciples knew that he said this, because they had spoken evil against him before the people; for they were afraid to confess him before men.

11.  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, He knoweth our hearts, and he speaketh to our condemnation, and we shall not be forgiven. But he answered them, and said unto them,

12.  Whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, and repenteth, it shall be forgiven him; but unto him who blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him. 

10.  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

13.  And again I say unto you, They shall bring you unto the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, When they do this, take ye no thought how, or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;. 

11.  And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

14.  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

12.  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

15.  And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 

13.  And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

16.  And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?.

14.  And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

17.  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

15.  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

18.  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully; 

16.  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

19.  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 

17.  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

20.  And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits, and my goods.

18.  And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

21.  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

19.  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

22.  But God said unto him, Thou fool! This night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?.

20.  But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

23.  So shall it be with him who layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

21.  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

24.  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

22.  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

25.  For the life is more than meat, and the body than raiment.

23.  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

26.  Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; nevertheless God feedeth them. Are ye not better than the fowls?.

24.  Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

27.  And who of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?.

25.  And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

28.  If ye then be not able to do that which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?.

26.  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

29.  Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

27.  Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30.  If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast in the oven; how much more will he provide for you, if ye are not of little faith? 

28.  If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31.  Therefore, seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind; 

29.  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

32.  For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father who is in heaven knoweth that ye have need of these things.

30.  For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

33.  And ye are sent unto them to be their ministers, and the laborer is worthy of his hire; for the law saith, That a man shall not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. 

34.  Therefore seek ye to bring forth the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. 

31.  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

35.  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

32.  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

36.  This he spake unto his disciples, saying, Sell that ye have and give alms; provide not for yourselves bags which wax old, but rather provide a treasure in the heavens, that faileth not; where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 

33.  Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

37.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

34.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

38.  Let your loins be girded about and have your lights burning;

35.  Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

39.  That ye yourselves may be like unto men who wait for their Lord, when he will return from the wedding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 

36.  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

40.  Verily I say unto you, Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching; for he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

37.  Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

41.  For, behold, he cometh in the first watch of the night, and he shall also come in the second watch, and again he shall come in the third watch.

42.  And verily I say unto you, He hath already come, as it is written of him; and again when he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, blessed are those servants when he cometh, that he shall find so doing;.

38.  And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

43.  For the Lord of those servants shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

44.  And now, verily I say these things unto you, that ye may know this, that the coming of the Lord is as a thief in the night.

45.  And it is like unto a man who is an householder, who, if he watcheth not his goods, the thief cometh in an hour of which he is not aware, and taketh his goods, and divideth them among his fellows.

46.  And they said among themselves, If the good man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through and the loss of his goods.

39.  And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

47.  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, be ye therefore ready also; for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

40.  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

48.  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speaketh thou this parable unto us, or unto all?.

41.  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

49.  And the Lord said, I speak unto those whom the Lord shall make rulers over his household, to give his children their portion of meat in due season.

42.  And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

50.  And they said, Who then is that faithful and wise servant?

51.  And the Lord said unto them, It is that servant who watcheth, to impart his portion of meat in due season. 

52.  Blessed be that servant whom his Lord shall find, when he cometh, so doing.

43.  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

53.  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

44.  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

54.  But the evil servant is he who is not found watching. And if that servant is not found watching, he will say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants, and the maidens, and to eat, and drink, and to be drunken.

45.  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

55.  The Lord of that servant will come in a day he looketh not for, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him down, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 

46.  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

56.  And that servant who knew his Lord's will, and prepared not for his Lord's coming, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

47.  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

57.  But he that knew not his Lord's will, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom the Lord has committed much, of him will men ask the more. 

48.  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

58.  For they are not well pleased with the Lord's doings; therefore I am come to send fire on the earth; and what is it to you, if I will that it be already kindled? 

49.  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

59.  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straightened until it be accomplished! 

50.  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

60.  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division.

51.  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

61.  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house, divided, three against two, and two against three. 

52.  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

62.  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 

53.  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

63.  And he said also unto the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, ye say straightway, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

54.  And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

64.  And when the south wind blows, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

55.  And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

65.  O hypocrites! Ye can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 

56.  Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

66.  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

57.  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

67.  Why goest thou to thine adversary for a magistrate, when thou art in the way with thine enemy? Why not give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison?. 

58.  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

68.  I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

59.  I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

CHAPTER 13

1.  And there were present at that time, some who spake unto him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

1.  There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2.  And Jesus said unto them; Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?. 

2.  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

4.  Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them; think ye that they were sinners above all men who dwelt in Jerusalem?. 

4.  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

6.  He spake also this parable, A certain husbandman had a fig tree planted in the vineyard. He came and sought fruit thereon and found none.

6.  He spake also this parable; a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

9.  And if it bear fruit, the tree is saved, and if not, after that thou shalt cut it down. And many other parables spake he unto the people.

9.  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

10.  And after this, as he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath;.

10.  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11.  Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise straighten up.

11.  And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12.  And when Jesus saw her, he called and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmities. 

12.  And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13.  And he laid hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14.  And the ruler of the synagogue was filled with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work; in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day. 

14.  And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15.  The Lord then said unto him, O hypocrite! Doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?.

15.  The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

17.  And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all his disciples rejoiced for all the glorious things which were done by him. 

17.  And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

23.  And there said one unto him, Lord, are there few only that be saved? and he answered him, and said,

23.  Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24.  Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I say unto you Many shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able; for the Lord shall not always strive with man.

24.  Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25.  Therefore, when once the Lord of the kingdom is risen up, and hath shut the door of the kingdom, then ye shall stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us, But the Lord shall answer and say unto you, I will not receive you, for ye know not from whence ye are.

25.  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

27.  But he shall say, I tell you, ye know not from whence ye are; depart from me, all workers of iniquity. 

27.  But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28.  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth among you, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you are thrust out. 

28.  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

29.  And verily I say unto you, They shall come from the east, and the west; and from the north, and the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God;.

29.  And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

30.  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last, and shall be saved therein. 

30.  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

31.  And as he was thus teaching, there came to him certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence; for Herod will kill thee.

31.  The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

32.  And he said unto them, Go ye and tell Herod, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

32.  And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

33.  Nevertheless, I must walk today and tomorrow, and the third day; for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

33.  Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

34.  This he spake, signifying of his death. And in this very hour he began to weep over Jerusalem,

35.  Saying, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

34.  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

36.  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. And verily I say unto you, Ye shall not know me, until ye have received from the hand of the Lord a just recompense for all your sins; until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.

35.  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 

CHAPTER 14

CHAPTER 14

2.  And, behold, there was a certain man before him, who had the dropsy.

2.  And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

3.  And Jesus spake unto the lawyers, and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?

4.  And they held their peace. And he took the man, and healed him, and let him go;.

4.  And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

5.  And spake unto them again, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?.

5.  And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

6.  And they could not answer him to these things.

6.  And they could not answer him again to these things.

7.  And he put forth a parable unto them concerning those who were bidden to a wedding; for he knew how they chose out the chief rooms, and exalted themselves one above another; wherefore he spake unto them, saying,

7.  And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

9.  And he who bade thee, with him who is more honorable, come, and say to thee; Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.  

9.  And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10.  But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he who bade thee, cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have honor of God, in the presence of them who sit at meat with thee.

10.  But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

11.  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he who humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

11.  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12.  Then said he also concerning him who bade to the wedding, When thou makest a dinner, or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. 

12.  Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

15.  And when one of them who sat at meat with him, heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

15.  And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

17.  And sent his servants at supper time, to say to them who were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready. 

17.  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

20.  And another said, I have married a wife, therefore I cannot come.

20.  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

21.  So that servant came and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servants, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring hither the poor, and the maimed, the halt and the blind. 

21.  So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

23.  The Lord said unto his servant, Go out into the highways, and hedges, and compel men to come in, that my house may be filled;. 

23.  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24.  For I say unto you, That none of those men who were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

24.  For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

25.  And when he had finished these sayings, he departed thence, and there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and said unto them,

25.  And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

26.  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, or husband, yea and his own life also; or in other words, is afraid to lay down his life for my sake, cannot be my disciple.

26.  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

28.  Therefore, settle this in your hearts, that ye will do the things which I shall teach, and command you. 

29.  For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have money to finish his work?. 

28.  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

30.  Lest, unhappily, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish his work, all who behold, begin to mock him,

29.  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

31.  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. And this he said, signifying there should not any man follow him, unless he was able to continue; saying,

30.  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

32.  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand, to meet him who cometh against him with twenty thousand. 

31.  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

33.  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 

32.  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

34.  So likewise, whosoever of you forsaketh not all that he hath he cannot be my disciple.

33.  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

35.  Then certain of them came to him saying, Good Master, we have Moses and the prophets, and whosoever shall live by them, shall he not have life?.

36.  And Jesus answered, saying, Ye know not Moses, neither the prophets; for if ye had known them, ye would have believed on me; for to this intent they were written. For I am sent that ye might have life.Therefore I will liken it unto salt which is good;.

34.  Salt is good:

37.  But if the salt had lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?.

but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

38.  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dung hill; men cast it out. He who hath ears to hear, let him hear. These things he said, signifying that which was written, verily must all be fulfilled.

35.  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

6.  And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

12.  And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

16.  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him. 

16.  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

22.  But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

29.  And he answering, said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment; and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends;. 

29.  And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

30.  But as soon as this thy son was come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

30.  But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

32.  It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; was lost, and is found.

7.  Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

8.  And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely; for the children of this world are wiser in their generation, than the children of light. 

8.  And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

10.  He who is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in the least, is also unjust in much.

10.  He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

12.  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give unto you that which is your own? 

12.  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

15.  1 And he said unto them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God. 

15.  And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

16.  And they said unto him, We have the law, and the prophets; but as for this man we will not receive him to be our ruler; for he maketh himself to be a judge over us. 

17.  Then said Jesus unto them, The law and the prophets testify of me; yea, and all the prophets who have written, even until John, have foretold of these days.

16.  The law and the prophets were until John:

18.  Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every man who seeketh truth presseth into it. 

since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

19.  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than for one tittle of the law to fail.

17.  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

20.  And why teach ye the law, and deny that which is written; and condemn him whom the Father hath sent to fulfill the law, that ye might all be redeemed?.

21.  O fools! for you have said in your hearts, There is no God. And you pervert the right way; and the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence of you; and you persecute the meek; and in your violence you seek to destroy the kingdom; and ye take the children of the kingdom by force.Woe unto you, ye adulterers!.

22.  And they reviled him again, being angry for the saying, that they were adulterers.

23.  But he continued, saying, Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her who is put away from her husband, committeth adultery. Verily I say unto you, I will liken you unto the rich man. 

18.  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

24.  For there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple, and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day. 

19.  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

25.  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,

20.  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

26.  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

21.  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

27.  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried of the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

22.  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

28.  And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 

23.  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

29.  And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 

24.  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

30.  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus, evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 

25.  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

31.  And besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed; so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. 

26.  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

32.  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house,

27.  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

33.  For I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 

28.  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

34.  Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

29.  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

35.  And he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 

30.  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

36.  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.

31.  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

4.  And if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn to you again, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.

4.  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5.  And the apostles said unto him, Lord, increase our faith.

5.  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6.  And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamore tree, Be thou plucked up by the roots, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 

6.  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7.  But who of you, having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say unto him when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?. 

7.  But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8.  Will he not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward, by and by, you shall eat and drink? 

8.  And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9.  Doth he thank that servant because he doeth the things which were commanded him? I say unto you, Nay. 

9.  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10.  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, We have done that which was no more than our duty to do. 

10.  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

14.  And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15.  One of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

21.  Neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For, behold, the kingdom of God has already come unto you. 

21.  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22.  And he said unto his disciples, The days will come, when they will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and they shall not see it.

22.  And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23.  And if they shall say to you, See here! or, See there! Go not after them, nor follow them. 

23.  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24.  For as the light of the morning, that shineth out of the one part under heaven, and lighteneth to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of Man be in his day. 

24.  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25.  But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

25.  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

31.  In that day, the disciple who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he who is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 

31.  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

34.  I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36.  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord, shall they be taken.

37.  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord?

37.  And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is gathered; or, in other words, whithersoever the saints are gathered, thither will the eagles be gathered together; or, thither will the remainder be gathered together.

And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. 

38.  This he spake, signifying the gathering of his saints; and of angels descending and gathering the remainder unto them; the one from the bed, the other from the grinding, and the other from the field, whithersoever he listeth.

39.  For verily there shall be new heavens, and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

40.  And there shall be no unclean thing; for the earth becoming old, even as as garment, having waxed in corruption, wherefore it vanisheth away, and the footstool remaineth sanctified, cleansed from all sin.

7.  And shall not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with men? 

7.  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8.  I tell you that he will come, and when he does come, he will avenge his saints speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

11.  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

13.  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14.  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other; for every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and he who humbleth himself, shall be exalted. 

14.  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

15.  And they brought unto him also, infants, that he might touch them; but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 

15.  And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16.  But Jesus called them, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

16.  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

27.  And he said unto them, It is impossible for them who trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God; but he who forsaketh the things which are of this world, it is possible with God, that he should enter in.

27.  And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
