But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand forth in the midst." And he arose, and stepped forth.

And he arose and stood forth. Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you, Which is lawful on the sabbath, To do good, or to do evil?

And as soon as it was day, he called his disciples, and of them he chose twelve, which also he called his apostles.

and Judas James' son, and Judas Iscariot, which same was the traitor.

And he came down with them and stood in the plain field with the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all parts of Jewry and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon: which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases,

so that all the people strove to touch him: for a divine virtue flowed from him, which healed them all.

"But I say unto you which hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them which hate you.

Bless them that curse you. And pray for them which wrongfully trouble you.

Give to every one that asks; and from him who takes that which is yours, ask it not back.

If ye love them which love you: what thank are ye worthy of? For the very sinners love their lovers.

And if ye do for them which do for you: what thank are ye worthy of? For the very sinners do even the same.

Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure--pressed down, shaken, overflowing--they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return."

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me, I will cast out the mote that is in thine eye, thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou shalt see clear to cast out the mote which is in the eye of thy brother.

For there is no good tree which produces corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree which produces good fruit;

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

He is like a man which built a house: and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock. When the waters arose, the flood beat upon that house, and could not move it. For it was grounded upon a rock.

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.

For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel.

When he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, which was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her.

And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Jewry, and throughout all the regions which lie round about.

And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

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

So what is there to which I can compare the men of this age? What are they like?

And behold a woman in that city, which was a sinner, as soon as she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment,

When the Pharisee which bade him to his house, saw that, he spake within himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would surely have known who and what manner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a sinner."

"There was a certain lender, which had two debtors, the one ought five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, "Who is this which forgiveth sins also?"

And also certain women, which were healed of evil spirits, and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

and Joanna the wife of Chuzaa, Herod's steward; And Susanna; And many others: which ministered unto them of their substance.

a husbandman went out to sow his corn: and as he was sowing, some fell upon the beaten road, which was crush'd under foot, or devoured by the birds.

some fell upon very stony ground, which no sooner sprung up, but it wither'd away, for want of moisture:

And other [seed] fell among thorns, which grew up with it and [eventually] choked out [the tender sprouts].

By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.

They on the stones, are they which, when they hear, receive the word with joy. But these have no roots, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation go away.

And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

That in the good ground, are they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

And as he went out of the ship to land, there met him a certain man out of the city, which had a devil long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house: but among graves.

(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)

but there being a numerous herd of swine feeding on the mountain, they desired he would permit them to enter into the swine, which he granted.

And the herders seeing that which took place, fled, and proclaimed it in the city and in the country.

and country, whence numbers went to see the fact: being come to Jesus, they found the man, who had been dispossess'd of the demons, sitting at Jesus's feet, cloathed, and in his right senses: at which they were much surpriz'd,

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devil, was healed.

Upon which all the people in the neighborhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.

Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years: which had spent all her substance among Physicians, neither could be helped of any:

upon which Jesus said, who was it that touch'd me? they being all at a loss, what to answer, at length Peter, and the others with him, said, master, the crowd are squeezing and pressing about you, and yet you cry, "who touch'd me?"

While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, which said to him, "Thy daughter is dead, disease not the master."

And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man that which happened.

where the people, who were inform'd of it, followed him: which he did not discountenance, but explained to them the reign of the Messiah, and relieved those, who wanted to be cured.

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.

And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And I tell you of a surety, Some there be, of them that here stand, which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God."

And it happened about eight days after Jesus said these things that He took Peter, John and James with Him and went up in the mountain to pray. [Note: This was probably Mt. Tabor, which was nearby].

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.

And from the cloud came a voice which said--"This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear."

And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.

he is frequently seized by a spirit, which makes him immediately roar, then throws him into convulsions with foaming, and never leaves him, but with difficulty and bruises.

And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

but they did not comprehend that expression: it was as a riddle, which they could not understand, and they were afraid to desire him to explain the meaning of that expression.

And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

Jesus replied to him, "The foxes have dens [in which to live] and the birds of the sky have nests [in which to roost], but the Son of man does not have anywhere to lay His head."

And another said, "I will follow thee Lord: But let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house."

After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on before Him, two by two, to every town or place which He was going to visit.

Abide in the same house, eating and drinking those things which are with them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

Into whatsoever city you may enter and they may receive you, eat those things which are placed by you:

Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

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

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

upon which he said to them, I beheld satan falling, like lightning, from heaven.

for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

Jesus answered and said, "A certain man descended from Jerusalem into Jericho; And fell into the hands of thieves, which robbed him of his raiment and wounded him, and departed leaving him half dead.

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

since my friend came to me from the road, and I have nothing which I may place before him.

And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?

If ye then which are evil, can give good gifts unto your children: How much more shall the father of heaven give a holy spirit to them, that desire it of him?"
