Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

392

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

393

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

394

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

395

And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

396

Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

398

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

400

And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

401

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

402

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

403

The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

404

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

406

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

408

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

409

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

410

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

411

Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

412

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

414

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

415

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 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 said unto him, Yea, Lord.

417

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

418

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

419

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

420

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

422

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

424

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

425

And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

426

And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond 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 fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

429

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

431

But when the blade was sprung 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 passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

433

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

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 had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

435

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

436

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

437

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

439

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

440

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

442

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

443

And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

444

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

445

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

446

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

447

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

449

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

450

And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

452

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

453

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

455

So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

457

And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

458

And sitting down they watched him there;

459

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this 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 shall be taken away even that which he hath.

461

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

462

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the 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, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

465

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

466

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

467

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it 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 caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

470

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

471

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

472

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

473

But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

474

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

475

He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe 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 caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

478

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

479

And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

481

And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

482

And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

483

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia 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 his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

487

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

488

But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

489

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

492

Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

493

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, 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 even of the sabbath day.

496

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

498

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

500

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

501

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

503

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

505

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him 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 be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

508

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

509

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

510

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

511

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

513

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

514

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

516

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

517

Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

518

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

519

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

520

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

521

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

522

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

523

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

524

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

525

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

526

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

527

And he arose, and departed to his house.

528

And he entered into a ship, and passed 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, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

532

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

533

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

534

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

536

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

537

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

538

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a 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 be forgiven thee.

540

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

541

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

542

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

543

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; 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 laid, and sick of a fever.

550

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call 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 made, ye make him twofold more the child 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 priests and elders of the people.

555

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

556

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

557

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

560

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

561

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

562

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

563

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

564

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

566

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

567

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

568

And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

569

And Zorobabel 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 the whole was leavened.

572

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

573

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: 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 will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

578

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

579

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, 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 offend, and them which do iniquity;

585

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

587

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

588

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

589

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

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 because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

593

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

594

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

595

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

596

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look 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, that 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 unto him.

603

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

605

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

610

Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

612

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

613

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

614

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

619

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

621

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

622

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

623

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

625

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

626

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and 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 the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

629

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

631

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

632

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

633

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

634

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

637

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

639

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

642

And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

643

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

644

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

645

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

646

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

647

Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

648

And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

649

Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

650

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

653

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

654

And 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 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 Elias must first come?

657

Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: 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 afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

660

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

663

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

664

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

665

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

671

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling 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

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

675

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

676

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

677

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

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 made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to 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, which was crucified.

682

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

683

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

684

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

686

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

687

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

689

And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

691

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

692

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

693

He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

695

And the multitudes that went before, 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 merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

697

As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

698

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

701

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

702

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from 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

And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

705

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius 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 departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

708

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

709

And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

711

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

713

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

717

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, 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 more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

721

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

723

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

725

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

726

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

727

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

728

He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

730

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

731

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

732

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which 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 Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

734

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

736

And Jesus 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 upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

738

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

739

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

741

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

742

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

743

When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just 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 uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

745

Thou hypocrite, first cast out 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 to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

748

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

749

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

750

But I say unto you, I will 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 a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

752

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule 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 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 they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

758

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

759

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

762

And when he was come 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 great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' 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 at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

767

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

768

And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

771

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

772

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

775

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

776

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

777

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

778

Then cometh he to his 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

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

780

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

782

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

783

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

785

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

786

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

787

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

790

Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

791

Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

794

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

795

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

796

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

797

Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

798

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

801

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

802

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

803

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

804

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 great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

808

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

810

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

811

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

812

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

813

Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

814

But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

815

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

816

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

817

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

818

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

820

But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; 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 wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

823

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses 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 at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

827

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

828

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

829

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

830

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

831

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

832

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

833

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

834

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

835

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

837

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

838

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

839

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

842

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

843

So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

844

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

845

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

846

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

848

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

849

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air 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 to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

852

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

853

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

854

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

855

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

856

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

857

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

861

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

862

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

863

And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

864

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

866

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

867

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

868

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

869

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,

870

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

871

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together 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 have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

875

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

878

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

879

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

880

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because 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 honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

882

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

883

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

884

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

885

And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

886

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

888

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

889

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

891

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

892

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

894

There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

895

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

896

How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

897

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

899

And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

900

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

901

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

902

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

903

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

904

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

905

And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

906

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

908

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

909

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

910

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

911

And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

912

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

913

The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come 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 sepulchre, and departed.

916

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will 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 when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

921

And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

922

When Jesus understood it, he 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 that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, 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

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

926

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

927

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

928

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

929

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

930

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

931

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

932

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

933

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

934

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

935

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had 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 hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

938

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, 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 Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

940

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

942

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

943

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

944

And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

945

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

946

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

947

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

948

Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

949

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

950

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

951

Do ye not yet understand, 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 looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

955

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

956

And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

957

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

958

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

959

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

960

Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

961

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

962

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

963

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

965

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

966

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

967

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

968

And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

969

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

971

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

974

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

975

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

976

But when his 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 is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

978

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

979

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

981

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

982

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

983

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

984

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

985

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

986

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

987

And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

990

And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

991

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

992

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

993

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

994

But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

996

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

997

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

998
