The Gospel According to St. Matthew


1 {1:1} The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son
of David, the son of Abraham. {1:2} Abraham begat Isaac;
and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his
brethren; {1:3} And Judas begat Phares and Zara of
Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
{1:4} And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat
Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; {1:5} And Salmon
begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and
Obed begat Jesse; {1:6} And Jesse begat David the king;
and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the
wife] of Urias; {1:7} And Solomon begat Roboam; and
Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; {1:8} And Asa
begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat
Ozias; {1:9} And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat
Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; {1:10} And Ezekias begat
Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat
Josias; {1:11} And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren,
about the time they were carried away to Babylon: {1:12}
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; {1:13} And
Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
Eliakim begat Azor; {1:14} And Azor begat Sadoc; and
Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; {1:15} And
Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
Matthan begat Jacob; {1:16} And Jacob begat Joseph the
husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called
Christ. {1:17} 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.
{1:18} Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before
they came together, she was found with child of the Holy
Ghost. {1:19} Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man,]
and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded
to put her away privily. {1:20} But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto
him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not
to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost. {1:21} And she shall bring forth
a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save
his people from their sins. {1:22} Now all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet, saying, {1:23} Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
{1:24} Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel
of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
{1:25} And knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
2 {2:1} Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea
in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men
from the east to Jerusalem, {2:2} Saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east,
and are come to worship him. {2:3} When Herod the king
had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem
with him. {2:4} And when he had gathered all the chief
priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of
them where Christ should be born. {2:5} And they said unto
him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the
prophet, {2:6} 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. {2:7}
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
{2:8} And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and
search diligently for the young child; and when ye have
found [him,] bring me word again, that I may come and
worship him also. {2:9} When they had heard the king, they
departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood over where the young
child was. {2:10} When they saw the star, they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy.
{2:11} And when they were come into the house, they
saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down,
and worshipped him: and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and myrrh. {2:12} And being warned of God
in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they
departed into their own country another way. {2:13} And
when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be
thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the
young child to destroy him. {2:14} When he arose, he took
the young child and his mother by night, and departed into
Egypt: {2:15} And was there until the death of Herod: that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
{2:16} Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of
the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and
slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the
coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to
the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
{2:17} Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, {2:18} 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.
{2:19} But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the
Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, {2:20}
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. {2:21} And he arose, and took the young
child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
{2:22} 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: {2:23} 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.
3 {3:1} In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in
the wilderness of Judaea, {3:2} And saying, Repent ye: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand. {3:3} 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. {3:4} 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. {3:5} Then
went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region
round about Jordan, {3:6} And were baptized of him in
Jordan, confessing their sins.
{3:7} But when he saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the
wrath to come? {3:8} Bring forth therefore fruits meet for
repentance: {3:9} And think not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham. {3:10} 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. {3:11} I
indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and [with] fire: {3:12} 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.
{3:13} Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto
John, to be baptized of him. {3:14} But John forbad him,
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou
to me? {3:15} 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. {3:16} And Jesus,
when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the
water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him: {3:17} And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

4 {4:1} Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil. {4:2} And when he
had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred. {4:3} And when the tempter came to him, he said,
If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread. {4:4} But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God. {4:5} Then the devil
taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a
pinnacle of the temple, {4:6} 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. {4:7} Jesus said unto him, It is written
again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. {4:8} Again,
the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; {4:9} And saith unto him, All these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
{4:10} Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve. {4:11} Then the devil leaveth
him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
{4:12} Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into
prison, he departed into Galilee; {4:13} And leaving
Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon
the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
{4:14} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, {4:15} The land of Zabulon, and
the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; {4:16} The people which
sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the
region and shadow of death light is sprung up. {4:17} From
that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
{4:18} And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. {4:19} And
he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
of men. {4:20} And they straightway left [their] nets, and
followed him. {4:21} 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. {4:22} And they immediately
left the ship and their father, and followed him.
{4:23} And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease
among the people. {4:24} 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. {4:25}
And there followed him great multitudes of people from
Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and
[from] Judaea, and [from] beyond Jordan.

5 {5:1} And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a
mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto
him: {5:2} And he opened his mouth, and taught them,
saying, {5:3} Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven. {5:4} Blessed [are] they that
mourn: for they shall be comforted. {5:5} Blessed [are] the
meek: for they shall inherit the earth. {5:6} Blessed [are]
they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they
shall be filled. {5:7} Blessed [are] the merciful: for they
shall obtain mercy. {5:8} Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for
they shall see God. {5:9} Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children of God. {5:10} Blessed
[are] they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. {5:11} Blessed are ye,
when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you,] and shall
say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
{5:12} Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
{5:13} Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost
his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men. {5:14} Ye are the light of the world. A city that
is set on an hill cannot be hid. {5:15} Neither do men light a
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it
giveth light unto all that are in the house. {5:16} Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
{5:17} Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {5:18} For
verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or
one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. {5:19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever
shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven. {5:20} For I say unto you, That
except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness]
of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
{5:21} Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in
danger of the judgment: {5:22} But I say unto you, That
whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be
in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire. {5:23} Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
{5:24} Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer
thy gift. {5:25} 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. {5:26} Verily I say
unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou
hast paid the uttermost farthing.
{5:27} Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery: {5:28} But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart. {5:29}
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it]
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body
should be cast into hell. {5:30} And if thy right hand offend
thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that]
thy whole body should be cast into hell. {5:31} It hath been
said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement: {5:32} But I say unto you, That
whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of
fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
{5:33} Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by
them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt
perform unto the Lord thine oaths: {5:34} But I say unto
you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s
throne: {5:35} Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool:
neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
{5:36} Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one hair white or black. {5:37} But let your
communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is
more than these cometh of evil.
{5:38} Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth: {5:39} But I say unto you, That
ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other also. {5:40} And if any
man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have [thy] cloke also. {5:41} And whosoever shall compel
thee to go a mile, go with him twain. {5:42} Give to him
that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
{5:43} Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. {5:44} But I say
unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you; {5:45} That ye
may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. {5:46} For if ye
love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same? {5:47} And if ye salute your
brethren only, what do ye more [than others?] do not even
the publicans so? {5:48} Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

6 {6:1} Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to
be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your
Father which is in heaven. {6:2} Therefore when thou doest
[thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward. {6:3} But when thou doest alms, let not thy
left hand know what thy right hand doeth: {6:4} That thine
alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret
himself shall reward thee openly.
{6:5} And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites [are:] for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may
be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward. {6:6} But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall
reward thee openly. {6:7} But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen [do:] for they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking. {6:8} Be not ye therefore
like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye
have need of, before ye ask him. {6:9} After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name. {6:10} Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as [it is] in heaven. {6:11} Give us this day our
daily bread. {6:12} And forgive us our debts, as we forgive
our debtors. {6:13} And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. {6:14} For if ye
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you: {6:15} But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
{6:16} Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites,
of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they
may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward. {6:17} But thou, when thou fastest,
anoint thine head, and wash thy face; {6:18} That thou
appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in
secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly.
{6:19} Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal: {6:20} But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
{6:21} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also. {6:22} The light of the body is the eye: if therefore
thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
{6:23} But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full
of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great [is] that darkness!
{6:24} No man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon. {6:25} Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought
for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor
yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment? {6:26} Behold the
fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they? {6:27} Which of you by
taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? {6:28}
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
{6:29} And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these. {6:30} Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and
to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more
[clothe] you, O ye of little faith? {6:31} Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? {6:32} (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things. {6:33} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
{6:34} Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

7 {7:1} Judge not, that ye be not judged. {7:2} For with
what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. {7:3}
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s
eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
{7:4} Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out
the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine
own eye? {7:5} 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.
{7:6} Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither
cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them
under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
{7:7} Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: {7:8} For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {7:9} Or what
man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give
him a stone? {7:10} Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a
serpent? {7:11} If ye then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your
Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask
him? {7:12} Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the
law and the prophets.
{7:13} Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate,
and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat: {7:14} Because strait [is] the
gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.
{7:15} Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
{7:16} Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? {7:17} Even so every
good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit. {7:18} A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. {7:19} Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire. {7:20} Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them.
{7:21} Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will
of my Father which is in heaven. {7:22} Many will say to
me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works? {7:23} And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.
{7:24} Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock: {7:25} And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon
a rock. {7:26} And every one that heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the sand: {7:27} And the
rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall
of it. {7:28} And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended
these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
{7:29} For he taught them as [one] having authority, and
not as the scribes.

8 {8:1} When he was come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed him. {8:2} And, behold, there came a
leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou
canst make me clean. {8:3} And Jesus put forth [his] hand,
and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And
immediately his leprosy was cleansed. {8:4} 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.
{8:5} And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there
came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, {8:6} And
saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented. {8:7} And Jesus saith unto him, I will
come and heal him. {8:8} The centurion answered and said,
Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my
roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
healed. {8:9} For I am a man under authority, having
soldiers under me: and I say to this [man,] Go, and he goeth;
and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant,
Do this, and he doeth [it. ]{8:10} 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. {8:11}
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. {8:12} But the children of
the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {8:13} And Jesus said
unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed,
so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the
selfsame hour.
{8:14} And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he
saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. {8:15} And
he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose,
and ministered unto them.
{8:16} When the even was come, they brought unto him
many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the
spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick: {8:17}
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our]
sicknesses.
{8:18} Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him,
he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. {8:19}
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest. {8:20} And Jesus
saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
[have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his]
head. {8:21} And another of his disciples said unto him,
Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. {8:22} But
Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their
dead.
{8:23} And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples
followed him. {8:24} And, behold, there arose a great
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with
the waves: but he was asleep. {8:25} And his disciples
came to [him,] and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we
perish. {8:26} And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful,
O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds
and the sea; and there was a great calm. {8:27} But the men
marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey him!
{8:28} And when he was come to the other side into the
country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed
with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so
that no man might pass by that way. {8:29} 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? {8:30} And there was a good way off from them
an herd of many swine feeding. {8:31} So the devils
besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go
away into the herd of swine. {8:32} 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.
{8:33} And they that kept them fled, and went their ways
into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to
the possessed of the devils. {8:34} 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.

9 {9:1} And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and
came into his own city. {9:2} 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. {9:3} And, behold,
certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man]
blasphemeth. {9:4} And Jesus knowing their thoughts said,
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? {9:5} For whether
is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and walk? {9:6} 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. {9:7} And he arose, and departed to his house.
{9:8} But when the multitudes saw [it,] they marvelled, and
glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
{9:9} And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a
man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and
he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed
him.
{9:10} And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the
house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat
down with him and his disciples. {9:11} And when the
Pharisees saw [it,] they said unto his disciples, Why eateth
your Master with publicans and sinners? {9:12} But when
Jesus heard [that,] he said unto them, They that be whole
need not a physician, but they that are sick. {9:13} But go
ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.
{9:14} Then came to him the disciples of John, saying,
Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast
not? {9:15} And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of
the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with
them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken from them, and then shall they fast. {9:16} No man
putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that
which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the
rent is made worse. {9:17} Neither do men put new wine
into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth
out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new
bottles, and both are preserved.
{9:18} While he spake these things unto them, behold,
there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My
daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon
her, and she shall live. {9:19} And Jesus arose, and
followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
{9:20} And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him,] and
touched the hem of his garment: {9:21} For she said within
herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
{9:22} 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.
{9:23} And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and
saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, {9:24} He
said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. {9:25} But when
the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the
hand, and the maid arose. {9:26} And the fame hereof went
abroad into all that land.
{9:27} And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men
followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] Son of David,
have mercy on us. {9:28} 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. {9:29} Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you. {9:30} And their
eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying,
See [that] no man know [it.] {9:31} But they, when they
were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
{9:32} As they went out, behold, they brought to him a
dumb man possessed with a devil. {9:33} And when the
devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes
marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. {9:34} But
the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince
of the devils. {9:35} And Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and
every disease among the people.
{9:36} But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved
with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were
scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. {9:37} Then
saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous,
but the labourers [are] few; {9:38} Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his
harvest.
10 {10:1} And when he had called unto [him] his twelve
disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to
cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease. {10:2} 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; {10:3} Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and
Matthew the publican; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and
Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; {10:4} Simon
the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
{10:5} These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded
them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into
[any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: {10:6} But go
rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. {10:7} And as
ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
{10:8} Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. {10:9}
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
{10:10} Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of
his meat. {10:11} And into whatsoever city or town ye shall
enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go
thence. {10:12} And when ye come into an house, salute it.
{10:13} And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
{10:14} And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake
off the dust of your feet. {10:15} Verily I say unto you, It
shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city.
{10:16} Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as
doves. {10:17} But beware of men: for they will deliver you
up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their
synagogues; {10:18} And ye shall be brought before
governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them and the Gentiles. {10:19} But when they deliver you
up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall
be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. {10:20}
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you. {10:21} And the brother shall
deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and
the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause
them to be put to death. {10:22} And ye shall be hated of all
[men] for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end
shall be saved. {10:23} 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. {10:24} The disciple is not above [his] master, nor
the servant above his lord. {10:25} 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? {10:26}
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
{10:27} What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light:
and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the
housetops. {10:28} And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is
able to destroy both soul and body in hell. {10:29} Are not
two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not
fall on the ground without your Father. {10:30} But the
very hairs of your head are all numbered. {10:31} Fear ye
not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
{10:32} Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
{10:33} But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will
I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. {10:34}
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not
to send peace, but a sword. {10:35} For I am come to set a
man at variance against his father, and the daughter against
her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law. {10:36} And a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own
household. {10:37} He that loveth father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not worthy of me. {10:38} And
he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not
worthy of me. {10:39} He that findeth his life shall lose it:
and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
{10:40} He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. {10:41} 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. {10:42} 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.
11 {11:1} 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. {11:2} Now when John
had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of
his disciples, {11:3} And said unto him, Art thou he that
should come, or do we look for another? {11:4} Jesus
answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do hear and see: {11:5} 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. {11:6} And blessed
is [he,] whosoever shall not be offended in me.
{11:7} 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? {11:8} But
what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment?
behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings’ houses.
{11:9} But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I
say unto you, and more than a prophet. {11:10} For this is
[he,] of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
{11:11} 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. {11:12} And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force. {11:13} For all the prophets
and the law prophesied until John. {11:14} And if ye will
receive [it,] this is Elias, which was for to come. {11:15}
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
{11:16} But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is
like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto
their fellows, {11:17} And saying, We have piped unto you,
and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye
have not lamented. {11:18} For John came neither eating
nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. {11:19} The
Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans
and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
{11:20} Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most
of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
{11:21} Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee,
Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you,
had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented
long ago in sackcloth and ashes. {11:22} But I say unto
you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day
of judgment, than for you. {11:23} 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. {11:24} But I say unto you, That it shall be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than
for thee.
{11:25} At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank
thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes. {11:26} Even so, Father: for so it
seemed good in thy sight. {11:27} All things are delivered
unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him.]
{11:28} Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. {11:29} Take my yoke upon
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls. {11:30} For my yoke [is]
easy, and my burden is light.
12 {12:1} At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through
the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to
pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. {12:2} 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.
{12:3} But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David
did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
{12:4} 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?
{12:5} 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? {12:6} But I say unto you, That in this
place is [one] greater than the temple. {12:7} But if ye had
known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
{12:8} For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
{12:9} And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:
{12:10} 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.
{12:11} 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? {12:12} How much then is a man better than a sheep?
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
{12:13} Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like
as the other.
{12:14} Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council
against him, how they might destroy him. {12:15} But
when Jesus knew [it,] he withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
{12:16} And charged them that they should not make him
known: {12:17} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by Esaias the prophet, saying, {12:18} Behold my servant,
whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well
pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew
judgment to the Gentiles. {12:19} He shall not strive, nor
cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
{12:20} A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax
shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
{12:21} And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
{12:22} Then was brought unto him one possessed with a
devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that
the blind and dumb both spake and saw. {12:23} And all
the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of
David? {12:24} But when the Pharisees heard [it,] they
said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by
Beelzebub the prince of the devils. {12:25} 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: {12:26} And if
Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how
shall then his kingdom stand? {12:27} And if I by
Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast
[them] out? therefore they shall be your judges. {12:28} But
if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of
God is come unto you. {12:29} 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.
{12:30} He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
{12:31} Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy
[against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
{12:32} 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. {12:33} 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. {12:34} O generation of vipers, how can ye, being
evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. {12:35} 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.
{12:36} But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment. {12:37} For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
{12:38} Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees
answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
{12:39} 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:
{12:40} For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth. {12:41} 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. {12:42}
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. {12:43}
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. {12:44}
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I
came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty,
swept, and garnished. {12:45} 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.
{12:46} While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his]
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak
with him. {12:47} Then one said unto him, Behold, thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak
with thee. {12:48} But he answered and said unto him that
told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
{12:49} And he stretched forth his hand toward his
disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
{12:50} For whosoever shall do the will of my Father
which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother.

13{13:1} The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat
by the sea side. {13:2} 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. {13:3} And he
spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a
sower went forth to sow; {13:4} And when he sowed, some
[seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up: {13:5} Some fell upon stony places,
where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung
up, because they had no deepness of earth: {13:6} And
when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away. {13:7} And some fell
among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
{13:8} But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
{13:9} Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. {13:10} And the
disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto
them in parables? {13:11} 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. {13:12} 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. {13:13} Therefore speak I to
them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing
they hear not, neither do they understand. {13:14} 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: {13:15} 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. {13:16} But blessed
[are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
{13:17} For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and
righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye
see, and have not seen [them;] and to hear [those things]
which ye hear, and have not heard [them.]
{13:18} Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
{13:19} 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. {13:20} But he that
received the seed into stony places, the same is he that
heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; {13:21}
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word,
by and by he is offended. {13:22} He also that received
seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the
care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the
word, and he becometh unfruitful. {13:23} But he that
received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the
word, and understandeth [it;] which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some
thirty.
{13:24} Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed
good seed in his field: {13:25} But while men slept, his
enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went
his way. {13:26} But when the blade was sprung up, and
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. {13:27} 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? {13:28} He said unto them, An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that
we go and gather them up? {13:29} But he said, Nay; lest
while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with
them. {13:30} 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.
{13:31} Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed,
which a man took, and sowed in his field: {13:32} 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.
{13:33} 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. {13:34} All these things spake Jesus unto the
multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not
unto them: {13:35} 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. {13:36} 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. {13:37} He answered and
said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man; {13:38} The field is the world; the good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the
wicked [one;] {13:39} The enemy that sowed them is the
devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are
the angels. {13:40} As therefore the tares are gathered and
burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
{13:41} 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; {13:42} And shall cast them
into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of
teeth. {13:43} Then shall the righteous shine forth as the
sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
{13:44} Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto
treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.
{13:45} Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: {13:46} Who, when
he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that
he had, and bought it.
{13:47} Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
{13:48} Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and
sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the
bad away. {13:49} So shall it be at the end of the world: the
angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among
the just, {13:50} And shall cast them into the furnace of
fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. {13:51}
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him, Yea, Lord. {13:52} 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.
{13:53} And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had
finished these parables, he departed thence. {13:54} 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? {13:55} Is not this the carpenter’s son? is
not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and
Joses, and Simon, and Judas? {13:56} And his sisters, are
they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these
things? {13:57} 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. {13:58} And he did not
many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

14{14:1} At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame
of Jesus, {14:2} 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.
{14:3} For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him,
and put [him] in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother
Philip’s wife. {14:4} For John said unto him, It is not lawful
for thee to have her. {14:5} And when he would have put
him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted
him as a prophet. {14:6} But when Herod’s birthday was
kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and
pleased Herod. {14:7} Whereupon he promised with an
oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. {14:8} And she,
being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here
John Baptist’s head in a charger. {14:9} 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.]
{14:10} And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
{14:11} And his head was brought in a charger, and given
to the damsel: and she brought [it] to her mother. {14:12}
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
and went and told Jesus.
{14:13} When Jesus heard [of it,] he departed thence by
ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had
heard [thereof,] they followed him on foot out of the cities.
{14:14} And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude,
and was moved with compassion toward them, and he
healed their sick.
{14:15} And when it was evening, his disciples came to
him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past;
send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages,
and buy themselves victuals. {14:16} But Jesus said unto
them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. {14:17}
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and
two fishes. {14:18} He said, Bring them hither to me.
{14:19} 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.
{14:20} And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
{14:21} And they that had eaten were about five thousand
men, beside women and children.
{14:22} And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples
to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side,
while he sent the multitudes away. {14:23} And when he
had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain
apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there
alone. {14:24} But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. {14:25} And
in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea. {14:26} And when the disciples saw
him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a
spirit; and they cried out for fear. {14:27} But straightway
Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be
not afraid. {14:28} And Peter answered him and said, Lord,
if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. {14:29}
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of
the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. {14:30}
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. {14:31}
And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and
caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt? {14:32} And when they were
come into the ship, the wind ceased. {14:33} Then they that
were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a
truth thou art the Son of God.
{14:34} And when they were gone over, they came into
the land of Gennesaret. {14:35} And when the men of that
place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that
country round about, and brought unto him all that were
diseased; {14:36} And besought him that they might only
touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were
made perfectly whole.

15{15:1} Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which
were of Jerusalem, saying, {15:2} Why do thy disciples
transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their
hands when they eat bread. {15:3} But he answered and
said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the
commandment of God by your tradition? {15:4} For God
commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He
that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. {15:5}
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his]
mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me; {15:6} 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.
{15:7} [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,
saying, {15:8} This people draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is
far from me. {15:9} But in vain they do worship me,
teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
{15:10} And he called the multitude, and said unto them,
Hear, and understand: {15:11} Not that which goeth into
the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the
mouth, this defileth a man. {15:12} Then came his
disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
{15:13} But he answered and said, Every plant, which my
heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
{15:14} Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
{15:15} Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare
unto us this parable. {15:16} And Jesus said, Are ye also
yet without understanding? {15:17} Do not ye yet
understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth
into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? {15:18} But
those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the man. {15:19} For out of
the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: {15:20}
These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.
{15:21} Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the
coasts of Tyre and Sidon. {15:22} 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. {15:23} But
he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
{15:24} But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto
the lost sheep of the house of Israel. {15:25} Then came she
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. {15:26} But he
answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s
bread, and to cast [it] to dogs. {15:27} And she said, Truth,
Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters’ table. {15:28} Then Jesus answered and said unto
her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as
thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very
hour. {15:29} And Jesus departed from thence, and came
nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain,
and sat down there. {15:30} 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: {15:31} 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.
{15:32} 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. {15:33} And his disciples say unto him, Whence
should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill
so great a multitude? {15:34} And Jesus saith unto them,
How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few
little fishes. {15:35} And he commanded the multitude to
sit down on the ground. {15:36} 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.
{15:37} And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
{15:38} And they that did eat were four thousand men,
beside women and children. {15:39} And he sent away the
multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of
Magdala,

16{16:1} The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from
heaven. {16:2} He answered and said unto them, When it is
evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
{16:3} 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? {16:4} 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. {16:5} And when his disciples were come to the
other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
{16:6} Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware
of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. {16:7}
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is]
because we have taken no bread. {16:8} [Which] when
Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no
bread? {16:9} Do ye not yet understand, neither remember
the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets
ye took up? {16:10} Neither the seven loaves of the four
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? {16:11} 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? {16:12} 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.
{16:13} When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say
that I the Son of man am? {16:14} And they said, Some
[say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others,
Jeremias, or one of the prophets. {16:15} He saith unto
them, But whom say ye that I am? {16:16} And Simon
Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God. {16:17} And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath
not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in
heaven. {16:18} And I say also unto thee, That thou art
Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it. {16:19} And I will
give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven. {16:20} Then charged he his disciples
that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
{16:21} From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer
many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and
be killed, and be raised again the third day. {16:22} Then
Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far
from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. {16:23} But he
turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou
art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that
be of God, but those that be of men.
{16:24} Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man]
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me. {16:25} For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my
sake shall find it. {16:26} For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul? {16:27} For the
Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his
works. {16:28} 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.

17{17:1} And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James,
and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high
mountain apart, {17:2} And was transfigured before them:
and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white
as the light. {17:3} And, behold, there appeared unto them
Moses and Elias talking with him. {17:4} 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. {17:5} While he yet
spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and
behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
{17:6} And when the disciples heard [it,] they fell on their
face, and were sore afraid. {17:7} And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. {17:8}
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
save Jesus only. {17:9} 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.
{17:10} And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say
the scribes that Elias must first come? {17:11} And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come,
and restore all things. {17:12} 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. {17:13} Then the disciples
understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
{17:14} And when they were come to the multitude, there
came to him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and
saying, {17:15} 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. {17:16} And I brought him to thy
disciples, and they could not cure him. {17:17} Then Jesus
answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring
him hither to me. {17:18} And Jesus rebuked the devil; and
he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that
very hour. {17:19} Then came the disciples to Jesus apart,
and said, Why could not we cast him out? {17:20} And
Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye
shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you. {17:21} Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by
prayer and fasting.
{17:22} And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto
them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of
men: {17:23} And they shall kill him, and the third day he
shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
{17:24} And when they were come to Capernaum, they
that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth
not your master pay tribute? {17:25} 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? {17:26} Peter saith unto him, Of strangers.
Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. {17:27}
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.

18{18:1} At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
{18:2} And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him
in the midst of them, {18:3} And said, Verily I say unto
you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. {18:4}
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little
child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. {18:5}
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me. {18:6} But whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were
drowned in the depth of the sea.
{18:7} 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! {18:8} 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. {18:9} 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. {18:10} Take heed that ye despise not one of
these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their
angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in
heaven. {18:11} For the Son of man is come to save that
which was lost. {18:12} 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? {18:13} And if so be that
he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that
[sheep,] than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
{18:14} Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
{18:15} Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. {18:16}
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. {18:17} 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. {18:18} Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven. {18:19} Again I say unto you, That if two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in
heaven. {18:20} For where two or three are gathered
together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
{18:21} Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till
seven times? {18:22} Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto
thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
{18:23} Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto
a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
{18:24} And when he had begun to reckon, one was
brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
{18:25} But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord
commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and
all that he had, and payment to be made. {18:26} The
servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
{18:27} Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
{18:28} But the same servant went out, and found one of
his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and
he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying,
Pay me that thou owest. {18:29} And his fellowservant fell
down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience
with me, and I will pay thee all. {18:30} And he would not:
but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the
debt. {18:31} So when his fellowservants saw what was
done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their
lord all that was done. {18:32} Then his lord, after that he
had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I
forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
{18:33} Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on
thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? {18:34} And
his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto him. {18:35} So
likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
trespasses.

19{19:1} And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had
finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came
into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; {19:2} And great
multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
{19:3} The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him,
and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his
wife for every cause? {19:4} And he answered and said
unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at
the beginning made them male and female, {19:5} And
said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
{19:6} Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder. {19:7} They say unto him, Why did Moses then
command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her
away? {19:8} 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. {19:9} And I
say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it
be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth
commit adultery.
{19:10} His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man
be so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry. {19:11} But
he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this saying,
save [they] to whom it is given. {19:12} For there are some
eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother’s womb:
and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of
men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to
receive [it,] let him receive [it.]
{19:13} Then were there brought unto him little children,
that he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the
disciples rebuked them. {19:14} But Jesus said, Suffer little
children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such
is the kingdom of heaven. {19:15} And he laid [his] hands
on them, and departed thence.
{19:16} And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life? {19:17} And he said unto him, Why callest thou me
good? [there is] none good but one, [that is,] God: but if
thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. {19:18}
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, {19:19} Honour thy
father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. {19:20} The young man saith unto him, All these
things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
{19:21} Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go
[and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
{19:22} But when the young man heard that saying, he
went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
{19:23} Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say
unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. {19:24} 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. {19:25} When
his disciples heard [it,] they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved? {19:26} But Jesus beheld
[them,] and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but
with God all things are possible.
{19:27} Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold,
we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have
therefore? {19:28} And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say
unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the
regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of
his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel. {19:29} And every one that hath
forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall
receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
{19:30} But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last
[shall be] first.

20{20:1} For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that
is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to
hire labourers into his vineyard. {20:2} And when he had
agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them
into his vineyard. {20:3} And he went out about the third
hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
{20:4} And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard,
and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their
way. {20:5} Again he went out about the sixth and ninth
hour, and did likewise. {20:6} 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? {20:7} They say
unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
[that] shall ye receive. {20:8} So when even was come, the
lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the
labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the
last unto the first. {20:9} And when they came that [were
hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a
penny. {20:10} But when the first came, they supposed that
they should have received more; and they likewise received
every man a penny. {20:11} And when they had received it,
they murmured against the goodman of the house, {20:12}
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. {20:13} But he answered one of them,
and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree
with me for a penny? {20:14} Take [that] thine [is,] and go
thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
{20:15} Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? {20:16} So the
last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but
few chosen.
{20:17} And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, {20:18}
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, {20:19} And shall deliver him
to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify
[him:] and the third day he shall rise again.
{20:20} Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s
children with her sons, worshipping [him,] and desiring a
certain thing of him. {20:21} And he said unto her, What
wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons
may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left,
in thy kingdom. {20:22} But Jesus answered and said, Ye
know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I
shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. {20:23}
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup,
and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:
but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared
of my Father. {20:24} And when the ten heard [it,] they
were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
{20:25} But Jesus called them [unto him,] and said, Ye
know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion
over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon
them. {20:26} But it shall not be so among you: but
whosoever will be great among you, let him be your
minister; {20:27} And whosoever will be chief among you,
let him be your servant: {20:28} Even as the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many. {20:29} And as they departed
from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
{20:30} 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.
{20:31} 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. {20:32}
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will
ye that I shall do unto you? {20:33} They say unto him,
Lord, that our eyes may be opened. {20:34} So Jesus had
compassion [on them,] and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.

21{21:1} And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and
were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then
sent Jesus two disciples, {21:2} 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. {21:3} And if any [man] say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and
straightway he will send them. {21:4} All this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, {21:5} Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy
King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a
colt the foal of an ass. {21:6} And the disciples went, and
did as Jesus commanded them, {21:7} And brought the ass,
and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set
[him] thereon. {21:8} And a very great multitude spread
their garments in the way; others cut down branches from
the trees, and strawed [them] in the way. {21:9} 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.
{21:10} And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city
was moved, saying, Who is this? {21:11} And the multitude
said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
{21:12} And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast
out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and
overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of
them that sold doves, {21:13} 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. {21:14} And the blind and
the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
{21:15} 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, {21:16} 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?
{21:17} And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there. {21:18} Now in the morning
as he returned into the city, he hungered. {21:19} 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. {21:20} And when the disciples saw
[it,] they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree
withered away! {21:21} 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. {21:22} And all
things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive.
{21:23} 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? {21:24} And
Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
what authority I do these things. {21:25} The baptism of
John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they
reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
him? {21:26} But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the
people; for all hold John as a prophet. {21:27} 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.
{21:28} But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons;
and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in
my vineyard. {21:29} He answered and said, I will not: but
afterward he repented, and went. {21:30} And he came to
the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I
[go,] sir: and went not. {21:31} Whether of them twain did
the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus
saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans
and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
{21:32} 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.
{21:33} Hear another parable: There was a certain
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round
about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and
let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
{21:34} And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent
his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the
fruits of it. {21:35} And the husbandmen took his servants,
and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
{21:36} Again, he sent other servants more than the first:
and they did unto them likewise. {21:37} But last of all he
sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
{21:38} 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. {21:39} And they caught
him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him.]
{21:40} When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
what will he do unto those husbandmen? {21:41} They say
unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and
will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
shall render him the fruits in their seasons. {21:42} 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? {21:43} Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to
a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. {21:44} And
whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
{21:45} And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard
his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. {21:46}
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

22{22:1} And Jesus answered and spake unto them again
by parables, and said, {22:2} The kingdom of heaven is like
unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
{22:3} And sent forth his servants to call them that were
bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. {22:4}
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. {22:5} But they made light of [it,]
and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his
merchandise: {22:6} And the remnant took his servants, and
entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them.] {22:7} But
when the king heard [thereof,] he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned
up their city. {22:8} Then saith he to his servants, The
wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not
worthy. {22:9} Go ye therefore into the highways, and as
many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. {22:10} 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.
{22:11} And when the king came in to see the guests, he
saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
{22:12} And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless. {22:13} Then said the king to the servants, Bind
him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into
outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. {22:14} For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
{22:15} Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how
they might entangle him in [his] talk. {22:16} 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. {22:17} Tell us therefore,
What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar,
or not? {22:18} But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and
said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites? {22:19} Shew me
the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
{22:20} And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and
superscription? {22:21} They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then
saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
{22:22} When they had heard [these words,] they marvelled,
and left him, and went their way.
{22:23} The same day came to him the Sadducees, which
say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, {22:24}
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed
unto his brother. {22:25} Now there were with us seven
brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife,
deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his
brother: {22:26} Likewise the second also, and the third,
unto the seventh. {22:27} And last of all the woman died
also. {22:28} Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall
she be of the seven? for they all had her. {22:29} Jesus
answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God. {22:30} For in the
resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage,
but are as the angels of God in heaven. {22:31} But as
touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that
which was spoken unto you by God, saying, {22:32} 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.
{22:33} And when the multitude heard [this,] they were
astonished at his doctrine.
{22:34} But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put
the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
{22:35} Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked
[him a question, ]tempting him, and saying, {22:36}
Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
{22:37} Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. {22:38} This is the first and great commandment.
{22:39} And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. {22:40} On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
{22:41} While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them, {22:42} Saying, What think ye of Christ?
whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
{22:43} He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit
call him Lord, saying, {22:44} The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies
thy footstool? {22:45} If David then call him Lord, how is
he his son? {22:46} And no man was able to answer him a
word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him
any more [questions.]

23{23:1} Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his
disciples, {23:2} Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit
in Moses’ seat: {23:3} All therefore whatsoever they bid
you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their
works: for they say, and do not. {23:4} 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. {23:5} But all their works they do for
to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and
enlarge the borders of their garments, {23:6} And love the
uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues, {23:7} And greetings in the markets, and to be
called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. {23:8} But be not ye called
Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are
brethren. {23:9} And call no [man] your father upon the
earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. {23:10}
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even]
Christ. {23:11} But he that is greatest among you shall be
your servant. {23:12} And whosoever shall exalt himself
shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted.
{23:13} But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against
men: for ye neither go in [yourselves,] neither suffer ye
them that are entering to go in. {23:14} 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. {23:15} 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. {23:16}
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! {23:17}
[Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold? {23:18} And, Whosoever
shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever
sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. {23:19}
[Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the gift, or the
altar that sanctifieth the gift? {23:20} Whoso therefore shall
swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
{23:21} And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by
it, and by him that dwelleth therein. {23:22} And he that
shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and
by him that sitteth thereon. {23:23} Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise
and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of
the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have
done, and not to leave the other undone. {23:24} [Ye] blind
guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
{23:25} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter,
but within they are full of extortion and excess. {23:26}
[Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within
the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean
also. {23:27} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
[men’s] bones, and of all uncleanness. {23:28} Even so ye
also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are
full of hypocrisy and iniquity. {23:29} Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the
tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the
righteous, {23:30} 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. {23:31} Wherefore ye be
witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them
which killed the prophets. {23:32} Fill ye up then the
measure of your fathers. {23:33} [Ye] serpents, [ye]
generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?
{23:34} 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: {23:35}
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. {23:36} Verily I say unto you, All
these things shall come upon this generation. {23:37} O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth
her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! {23:38}
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. {23:39} 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.

24{24:1} And Jesus went out, and departed from the
temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the
buildings of the temple. {24:2} 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.
{24:3} And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy
coming, and of the end of the world? {24:4} And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you. {24:5} For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. {24:6} And ye
shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the
end is not yet. {24:7} For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. {24:8}
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. {24:9} Then shall
they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye
shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. {24:10}
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one
another, and shall hate one another. {24:11} And many
false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. {24:12}
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall
wax cold. {24:13} But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved. {24:14} And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {24:15} When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso
readeth, let him understand:) {24:16} Then let them which
be in Judaea flee into the mountains: {24:17} Let him
which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house: {24:18} Neither let him which is in the
field return back to take his clothes. {24:19} And woe unto
them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days! {24:20} But pray ye that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the sabbath day: {24:21} For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. {24:22} And
except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be
shortened. {24:23} Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. {24:24} For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were]
possible, they shall deceive the very elect. {24:25} Behold,
I have told you before. {24:26} Wherefore if they shall say
unto you, Behold, [he is] in the desert; go not forth: behold,
he is in the secret chambers; believe [it] not. {24:27} For as
the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto
the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
{24:28} For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the
eagles be gathered together.
{24:29} Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of
the heavens shall be shaken: {24:30} And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
{24:31} And he shall send his angels with a great sound of
a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. {24:32}
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is
nigh: {24:33} So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. {24:34}
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled. {24:35} Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
{24:36} But of that day and hour knoweth no [man,] no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. {24:37} But
as the days of Noe [were,] so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be. {24:38} 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, {24:39} And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. {24:40} Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left. {24:41} Two [women shall be]
grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
{24:42} Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come. {24:43} 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. {24:44} Therefore be ye
also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh. {24:45} Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household,
to give them meat in due season? {24:46} Blessed [is] that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
{24:47} Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler
over all his goods. {24:48} But and if that evil servant shall
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; {24:49} And
shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken; {24:50} 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, {24:51} And shall cut him
asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

25{25:1} Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto
ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet
the bridegroom. {25:2} And five of them were wise, and
five [were] foolish. {25:3} They that [were] foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil with them: {25:4} But the wise
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. {25:5} While the
bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. {25:6}
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. {25:7} Then all
those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. {25:8} And
the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our
lamps are gone out. {25:9} But the wise answered, saying,
[Not so;] lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye
rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. {25:10}
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. {25:11} Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. {25:12} But he
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
{25:13} Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
{25:14} For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man
travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods. {25:15} 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. {25:16} Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the same, and made [them]
other five talents. {25:17} And likewise he that [had
received] two, he also gained other two. {25:18} But he that
had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his
lord’s money. {25:19} After a long time the lord of those
servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. {25:20} And so
he that had received five talents came and brought other five
talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
{25:21} His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the
joy of thy lord. {25:22} He also that had received two
talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two
talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
{25:23} His lord said unto him, Well done, good and
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the
joy of thy lord. {25:24} 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: {25:25} And I was afraid, and
went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast
[that is] thine. {25:26} His lord answered and said unto
him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that
I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not
strawed: {25:27} Thou oughtest therefore to have put my
money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should
have received mine own with usury. {25:28} Take therefore
the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten
talents. {25:29} 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. {25:30} And
cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
{25:31} When the Son of man shall come in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory: {25:32} And before him shall be
gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
{25:33} And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the
goats on the left. {25:34} Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world: {25:35} For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in: {25:36} Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
{25:37} Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee?] or thirsty,
and gave [thee] drink? {25:38} When saw we thee a
stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee?]
{25:39} Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came
unto thee? {25:40} And the King shall answer and say unto
them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it]
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it]
unto me. {25:41} Then shall he say also unto them on the
left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels: {25:42} For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
me no drink: {25:43} I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not. {25:44} 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? {25:45} 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. {25:46} And these
shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal.

26{26:1} And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all
these sayings, he said unto his disciples, {26:2} Ye know
that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and the Son
of man is betrayed to be crucified. {26:3} 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, {26:4} And consulted that they might take
Jesus by subtilty, and kill [him.] {26:5} But they said, Not
on the feast [day,] lest there be an uproar among the people.
{26:6} Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of
Simon the leper, {26:7} 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.] {26:8} But when
his disciples saw [it,] they had indignation, saying, To what
purpose [is] this waste? {26:9} For this ointment might
have been sold for much, and given to the poor. {26:10}
When Jesus understood [it,] he said unto them, Why trouble
ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
{26:11} For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye
have not always. {26:12} For in that she hath poured this
ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial. {26:13}
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.
{26:14} Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot,
went unto the chief priests, {26:15} 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.
{26:16} And from that time he sought opportunity to betray
him.
{26:17} Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened
bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where
wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
{26:18} 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. {26:19}
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
made ready the passover. {26:20} Now when the even was
come, he sat down with the twelve. {26:21} And as they did
eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall
betray me. {26:22} And they were exceeding sorrowful,
and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
{26:23} And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his]
hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. {26:24}
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. {26:25} Then
Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
{26:26} And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed [it,] and brake [it,] and gave [it] to the disciples, and
said, Take, eat; this is my body. {26:27} And he took the
cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink
ye all of it; {26:28} For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
{26:29} 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. {26:30} And when they had
sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
{26:31} Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall deny [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. {26:32} But after I am risen again, I will
go before you into Galilee. {26:33} Peter answered and said
unto him, Though all [men] shall be offended because of
thee, [yet] will I never be offended. {26:34} Jesus said unto
him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. {26:35} Peter said unto
him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.
Likewise also said all the disciples.
{26:36} Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while
I go and pray yonder. {26:37} And he took with him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and
very heavy. {26:38} Then saith he unto them, My soul is
exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and
watch with me. {26:39} And he went a little farther, and fell
on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I
will, but as thou [wilt.] {26:40} And he cometh unto the
disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter,
What, could ye not watch with me one hour? {26:41}
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak. {26:42} 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. {26:43} And he came and found
them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. {26:44} And
he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words. {26:45} 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. {26:46} Rise, let us be
going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
{26:47} 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.
{26:48} Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign,
saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him
fast. {26:49} And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said,
Hail, master; and kissed him. {26:50} And Jesus said unto
him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and
laid hands on Jesus, and took him. {26:51} 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. {26:52} Then said Jesus unto
him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that
take the sword shall perish with the sword. {26:53}
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
{26:54} But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that
thus it must be? {26:55} In that same hour said Jesus to the
multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords
and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in
the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. {26:56} But all this
was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be
fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
{26:57} And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him]
away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the
elders were assembled. {26:58} But Peter followed him afar
off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with
the servants, to see the end. {26:59} Now the chief priests,
and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against
Jesus, to put him to death; {26:60} But found none: yea,
though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they none.
At the last came two false witnesses, {26:61} And said,
This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the temple of God,
and to build it in three days. {26:62} And the high priest
arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what [is
it which] these witness against thee? {26:63} 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. {26:64} 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. {26:65} 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. {26:66} What think ye? They
answered and said, He is guilty of death. {26:67} Then did
they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote
[him] with the palms of their hands, {26:68} Saying,
Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
{26:69} Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel
came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of
Galilee. {26:70} But he denied before [them] all, saying, I
know not what thou sayest. {26:71} And when he was gone
out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and said unto
them that were there, This [fellow] was also with Jesus of
Nazareth. {26:72} And again he denied with an oath, I do
not know the man. {26:73} And after a while came unto
[him] they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also
art [one] of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. {26:74}
Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying,] I know not
the man. And immediately the cock crew. {26:75} And
Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he
went out, and wept bitterly.

27{27:1} When the morning was come, all the chief priests
and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put
him to death: {27:2} And when they had bound him, they
led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the
governor.
{27:3} Then Judas, which had betrayeth him, when he
saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought
again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and
elders, {27:4} Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed
the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see
thou [to that.] {27:5} And he cast down the pieces of silver
in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
{27:6} 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. {27:7} And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
{27:8} Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day. {27:9} 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; {27:10} And
gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
{27:11} 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. {27:12} And when
he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing. {27:13} Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou
not how many things they witness against thee? {27:14}
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly. {27:15} Now at [that] feast the
governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner,
whom they would. {27:16} And they had then a notable
prisoner, called Barabbas. {27:17} 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? {27:18} For he knew that for envy they had
delivered him.
{27:19} 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. {27:20} But the chief priests and
elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask
Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. {27:21} The governor
answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye
that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. {27:22} Pilate
saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is
called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
{27:23} And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he
done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified.
{27:24} 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.]
{27:25} Then answered all the people, and said, His blood
[be] on us, and on our children.
{27:26} Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when
he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
{27:27} Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of
soldiers. {27:28} And they stripped him, and put on him a
scarlet robe.
{27:29} And when they had platted a crown of thorns,
they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and
they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying,
Hail, King of the Jews! {27:30} And they spit upon him,
and took the reed, and smote him on the head. {27:31} And
after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from
him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
crucify [him.] {27:32} And as they came out, they found a
man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear
his cross. {27:33} And when they were come unto a place
called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
{27:34} They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with
gall: and when he had tasted [thereof,] he would not drink.
{27:35} 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. {27:36} And sitting
down they watched him there; {27:37} And set up over his
head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING
OF THE JEWS. {27:38} Then were there two thieves
crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on
the left.
{27:39} And they that passed by reviled him, wagging
their heads, {27:40} 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. {27:41}
Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him,] with the
scribes and elders, said, {27:42} 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.
{27:43} He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he
will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. {27:44}
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the
same in his teeth. {27:45} Now from the sixth hour there
was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. {27:46}
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me? {27:47} Some of
them that stood there, when they heard [that,] said, This
[man] calleth for Elias. {27:48} 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. {27:49} The
rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save
him.
{27:50} Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost. {27:51} And, behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the
earth did quake, and the rocks rent; {27:52} And the graves
were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose, {27:53} And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many. {27:54} 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. {27:55} And many women were there
beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee,
ministering unto him: {27:56} Among which was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and
the mother of Zebedee’s children. {27:57} When the even
was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: {27:58} He
went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered. {27:59} And when
Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth, {27:60} 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. {27:61} And there was
Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.
{27:62} Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together
unto Pilate, {27:63} Saying, Sir, we remember that that
deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will
rise again. {27:64} Command therefore that the sepulchre
be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by
night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is
risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the
first. {27:65} Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go
your way, make [it] as sure as ye can. {27:66} So they
went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch.

28{28:1} In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn
toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene
and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. {28:2} 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. {28:3} His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow: {28:4} And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead [men.] {28:5} And the angel answered
and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye
seek Jesus, which was crucified. {28:6} He is not here: for
he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord
lay. {28:7} 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. {28:8}
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
{28:9} 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. {28:10} Then said
Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they
go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
{28:11} 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. {28:12} And when they were
assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave
large money unto the soldiers, {28:13} Saying, Say ye, His
disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we
slept. {28:14} And if this come to the governor’s ears, we
will persuade him, and secure you. {28:15} So they took the
money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is
commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
{28:16} Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. {28:17}
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted. {28:18} And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
{28:19} Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: {28:20} Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
