[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 answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
[3]I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
[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?
[5]I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
[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.
[7]Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
[8]And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
[9]And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
[10]And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
[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 her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
[13]And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
[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 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?
[16]And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
[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.
[18]Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
[19]It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
[20]And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
[21]It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
[22]And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
[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 many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
[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:
[26]Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
[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, 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 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.
[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 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 to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
[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!
[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.

[1]In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
[2]For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
[3]Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
[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, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
[6]Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
[7]But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
[8]Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
[9]But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
[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.
[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:
[12]For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
[13]And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
[14]And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
[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.
[16]And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
[17]And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
[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.
[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.
[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?
[21]So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
[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.
[23]The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
[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?
[25]And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
[26]If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
[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.
[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?
[29]And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
[30]For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
[31]But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[32]Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
[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.
[34]For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[35]Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
[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.
[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.
[38]And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
[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.
[40]Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
[41]Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
[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?
[43]Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[44]Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
[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;
[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.
[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.
[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.
[49]I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
[50]But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
[51]Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
[52]For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
[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.
[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.
[55]And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
[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?
[57]Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
[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.
[59]I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

[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 which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
[3]Give us day by day our daily bread.
[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, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
[6]For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[10]For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
[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?
[12]Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
[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.
[15]But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
[16]And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
[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.
[18]If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
[19]And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
[20]But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
[21]When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
[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.
[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.
[25]And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
[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.
[27]And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
[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.
[30]For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[35]Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
[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.
[37]And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
[38]And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
[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.
[40]Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
[41]But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
[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.
[43]Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
[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.
[45]Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
[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.
[47]Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
[48]Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
[49]Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
[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: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
[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.
[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:
[54]Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

[2]Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
[3]Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
[4]Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
[5]And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
[6]And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
[7]And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
[8]And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
[9]And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
[10]But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
[11]Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
[12]But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
[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.
[14]But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
[15]And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
[17]And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
[18]And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
[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.
[20]Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
[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.
[23]And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
[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.
[25]And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
[26]He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
[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.
[28]And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
[29]But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
[30]And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which 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.
[32]And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
[33]But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
[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.
[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.
[36]Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
[37]And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
[38]Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
[39]And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
[40]But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
[41]And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
[42]But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
