And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.

401

and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

402

And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

403

And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

404

and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.

406

And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed.

408

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

409

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.

410

And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the'son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

411

And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.

412

yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

414

And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

415

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

416

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

417

He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?

418

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

420

A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

422

And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?

423

yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

424

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

425

So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

426

And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

427

And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go , sir: and went not.

428

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

429

And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

431

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

432

And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.

433

And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

434

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

435

And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him.

436

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

437

And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

439

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.

440

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

442

And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

443

And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

444

When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

445

he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

446

saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

447

But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

449

and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

450

And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

452

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go up unto thy house.

453

And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

455

And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.

457

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish.

459

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?

460

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

461

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man ? and then he will spoil his house.

462

The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

463

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.

464

But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.

465

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;

466

Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child's life.

467

And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

469

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

470

But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here.

471

How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.

472

But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters table.

473

But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.

474

And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.

475

He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

476

But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

477

And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

478

But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.

479

And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

481

And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

483

and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;

484

The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

485

And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?

487

And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.

488

But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

489

But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

492

But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

493

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

494

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

495

For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

496

shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

498

And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:

500

And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

501

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

503

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.

505

and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:

506

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

507

Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.

508

how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?

509

All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

510

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him , and asking a certain thing of him.

511

Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples

512

On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,

513

Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

514

Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?

516

And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?

517

Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?

518

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

519

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

521

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

522

And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?

523

and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

524

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

525

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

526

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;

527

And he arose, and departed to his house.

528

And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

529

the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.

532

And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.

533

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

534

Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

536

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

537

Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

538

And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.

539

And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven.

540

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

541

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,

542

And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

543

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not.

544

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

549

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever.

550

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!

551

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

553

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.

555

And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

556

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.

557

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

558

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

560

But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.

561

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them , that he might bear his cross.

562

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

563

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the'son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

564

And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

566

Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

567

and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.

569

and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

570

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

572

But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.

573

But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments ,

574

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.

577

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

578

But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red.

579

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

583

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,

585

Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

586

and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.

588

Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

591

and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

592

Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

593

And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.

594

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

595

For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.

596

and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

598

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

599

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

601

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.

603

whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

605

But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.

612

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.

613

but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

614

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.

619

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.

621

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.

622

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

623

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

625

And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

626

And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

628

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

629

and as he sowed, some'seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

631

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

632

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;

633

An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

634

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:

637

And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men.

639

And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

642

And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

643

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?

644

and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

645

Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

646

And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

647

among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

648

and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

649

Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

650

Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

653

Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

654

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

655

And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

656

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

657

insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

658

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.

659

And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

660

Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

663

At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

664

And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

665

Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.

671

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows

672

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

674

And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

675

all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

677

Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

678

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

679

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

680

and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

681

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified.

682

But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.

683

And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

684

and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:

686

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.

687

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times.

689

and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

691

Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

692

And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.

693

He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

695

And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

696

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:

697

And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

698

For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

701

So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye to it .

702

But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

703

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

704

Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

705

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

706

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the'son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

707

And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

708

And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:

709

and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou has perfected praise?

711

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them,

713

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

717

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,

718

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

719

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

721

and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

723

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to depart unto the other side.

725

And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him:

726

Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

727

And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.

728

He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

730

and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.

732

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.

733

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

734

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

736

But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

737

that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.

738

And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

739

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

741

Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

742

But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

743

And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

744

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

745

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

746

So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.

748

And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.

749

But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

750

But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

751

How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?

752

And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

755

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

756

saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them , and bring them unto me.

757

Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

758

then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:

759

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

762

And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

763

And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:

766

For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

767

And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,

768

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

771

and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

772

And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea.

773

And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

775

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

776

And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

777

and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

778

Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

779

And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

780

And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.

782

And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

783

Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

785

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

786

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

787

But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given.

790

Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

791

Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;

792

Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;

794

And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

795

But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.

796

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

797

Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

798

The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

801

They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?

802

And they said, Some'say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

803

As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.

804

And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

805

And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

808

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

810

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment ? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in king's houses.

811

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

812

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

813

Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

814

but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.

815

Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

820

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

822

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one , and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

823

But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.

824

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

826

So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,

827

And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.

830

And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

831

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.

832

And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day.

833

But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

834

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as'sure as ye can.

835

And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret.

837

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

838

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

839

And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.

842

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

843

And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.

844

And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

845

Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

846

And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

848

Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.

849

which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.

850

They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

851

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.

852

And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

853

But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.

854

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

855

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?

856

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and off-times into the water.

857

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?

861

for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;

862

He that hath ears, let him hear.

863

And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters.

864

And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

866

and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him.

867

and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

868

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?

869

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,

870

and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.

871

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.

874

saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it .

875

And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

878

He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

879

And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

880

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

881

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

882

And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

883

And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

884

And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.

885

And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

886

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

888

And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

889

Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

890

and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

891

Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

892

Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

894

there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.

895

and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

896

How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

897

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,

899

And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.

900

Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

901

nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

902

And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.

903

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,

904

And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.

905

and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.

906

Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

908

For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:

909

Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?

910

And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.

911

And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

912

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?

913

And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

914

and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

916

saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again.

917

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

918

and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.

919

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

920

But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

921

and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

922

But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

923

And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

924

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

925

And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.

926

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

927

And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.

928

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

929

And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

930

And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

931

And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

932

And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

933

And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

934

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

935

And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

936

saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

937

For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

938

Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

939

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

940

And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.

942

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

943

And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.

944

and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.

945

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

946

let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house:

947

And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?

948

In like manner also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said,

949

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.

950

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?

951

Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

952

Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.

954

the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

955

But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God ;

956

and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

957

Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

958

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.

959

and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

960

Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

961

And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:

962

And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

963

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

965

and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

966

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.

967

and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.

968

And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

969

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.

971

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

974

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

975

And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;

976

But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

977

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day.

978

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

979

And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

980

Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.

981

If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?

982

Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

983

Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius.

984

But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?

985

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

986

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

987

And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders.

990

And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

991

saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.

992

And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

993

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

994

But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

996

Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.

997

Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.

998

And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

999

But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.

1000

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
