History of the Catholic Church
The Church has undergone violent changes from the second it was formed to present.
The Night before the Crucifixion of Jesus. He sanctified the grounds of the Vatican, in order to lay the groundwork of his church. His church was created specifically for him, by him and his Julii family. His family had spent the previous three centuries with evidence to build the Catholic church, and of course that groundwork had been the culmination of the previous millennia. One of the most important parts of the War between the descendants of Agamemnon and of course the Trojans was
The church is also strongly based on the name North Umber Land or in Gaelic Yr Hen Ogle dd, short version the Kingdom of Ogle. Vertical Sacred Defined Lands.
The Crucifixion; has the code north umber land built in. The Hallow around his head the highest/vertical point on his body, his body several feet off the ground (vertical), his body sacred, and the place the poll is placed in defined land.
The Eucharist body and blood; has the code of north umber land build in too. During the Last Supper Jesus name changed to Simon Peter, embracing himself as the appointed Pharaoh of the Jewish People.
Mathew 16;16
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Mathew 16;17
“And Jesus
answered and said unto him, Blessed (sacred/amber) art thou, Simon Barjona: for
flesh (defined land) and blood(amber) hath not revealed it unto
thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”
Mathew 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.”
Call me Pharoah Simon Peter, Or in other words in a different language
Pharaoh Yr Hen Ogle dd.
The Catholic church was carefully created over the course of a millennia. It was created to serve as a half emperors/half pharaohs position by the Julii family, in strong support and conjunction from the Lucia family. But the Senate hated the very idea of the situation and worked from the day Romulus was born to the Day The Evil Priest Paul took over the church to destroy the Jews.
· The ATEN of Rome/Samhain
o
· The Pharisees/Senators
o The Pharisees/Senators are what the Jews called the Roman Senators.
o
·
o I did some research into the book of Mathew tonight.
o I am not a memorize and spit out in my own words scholar. I am a "what is it that I am reading" scholar.
o Fact the Roman Senate only met in temples.
o So that evidence points to the Pharisees/Senators could have literally been legally calling themselves Pharisees. Changes the entire dynamic of the Gospels.
o Add that evidence to the facts that the translation of Heliopolis through several languages is Jerusalem.
o Jeru means "new day" in the Futhark the character which means "new day" is the 12th which is spelled Jeru. The 12th son of Jacob was the father of the Jews.
o In Greek; Opolis translates to Sacred City, which in Latin and English translate to Castle. Castle in Hebrew translates to Salem.
o So Jeru Salem.
o When Caligula moved Heliopolis to Rome, Heliopolis would not have continued to be called Heliopolis, it would have taken on the name of the lands it was placed on. That would be the Vatican. The Vatican valley and Hill had been a Sacred area since well before Romulus was born. "When Jesus entered Jerusalem". linguistically he was not in Levant Lands. as stated a chapter or so back from Jesus Declaring himself “Call me Simon Peter (which itself has the North/Vertical Amber/Umber Land or in Gaelic Yr Hen Ogle dd code built in.)”,
o
“[22]
But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
[23] And when he was entered into a ship,
his disciples followed him.”
o “And Let the Dead Bury their Dead” is a code directly referring to the City of Samhain, or in English Halloween. The time when the veils between the worlds is at its thinnest. At the time of Jesus Julius Caesar had changed the name of the city of Rome back to its original but in Latin “The Eternal City” or in Gaelic Samhain. One of the fixed points in the earths orbit around the sun, there are 7 others. But it is October 31, which is most important, The Eternal city. Plus, Esau’s followers have a huge “worship the dead” thing. They openly and from day one to the present have a Ritual Human Sacrifice thing happening. From Gladiator contests, to Suicide bombers, to Assassins, Genocide, etc. The Dead being the Romans living in Rome Proper, the Catacombs (bury their dead below their feet), and the death rituals as part of the function of the society. Also the fact that soon the Temple of Solomon/rebuilt to be the Temple of Zerubbabel would be dismantled and shipped to Rome, hwere it would be reassembled to be the Coliseum. The Dead burying their dead is a trying to hide the fact that the following events all took place in a Jewish insult to the descendants of Agamemnon, the “dead men” in the Trojan Horse. If they had simply burned the horse, the following events would have been vastly different.
o The definition of Trojans is “Descendants of the Holder of the Foot”. In Sumerian “the holder of the foot” translates as the word Jacob. So Trojans are “The descendants of Jacob” or in other words Jews. The city of Samhain was captured in battle by Romulus, about 600 years after the Trojan War. Most of the major citizens of Rome claimed kinship to the Princes of Troy. Hiding the facts that they had spent centuries erasing the facts of the Trojan War to hide the fact they were either Jews, or they had conquered both Troy and Samhain and were non Jews living in Jewish cities, ruling over Jews they for the most part had made most of the Jews in their charge slaves. Slave masters is another way of saying “the dead”, since a couple references in Jewish culture to the really unacceptable behavior of which the followers of Esau live their insulting to god lives, in other words “The Walking dead”.
o "Jesus got off the boat". He left Levant and entered Rome, his families property making him immune from being arrested. From Entering Jerusalem forward he was actually in Rome. Including the Crucifixion.
o the Crucifixion taking place where the Vatican Hill used to be. Where St Peters Square is now, approximately where the Top of the Column is, would be fairly close to the location of the Actual Event.
o Ask yourself this question. How much did the Pharisees/Senators of Rome hate Jesus? Ask yourself this next question. Would the Pharisees/Senators who hated Jesus as much as the GOP hate Obama and Hillary combined, would they have settled for a simple letter saying, "he has been executed". Or would they have literally demanded to see it for themselves, to see his last breath come out of his lungs? Obviously the second has all the evidence weight imaginable behind it (minus a few skeptical observations regarding keeping that trouble maker as far away as possible. But those concepts are null to Roman law). Roman Law which was done every single time bar none, an enemy of the state was brought before the Senate, charged with High Treason and then executed before the Senate in the Square for all to see. The only exception was the Sister of Cleopatra who was about 12 when she was arrested in Athens and brought to Rome. She was too young and the other events had taken place long enough before she was found innocent but spent the rest of her life under hour arrest in a temple. By Roman Law he would have been arrested and brought before the Senate for Execution. Which he was, his execution would be two fold. One Crucifixion as the Jew he was, then after a few hours and the Senate and other enemies had their blood lust quenched. He would be executed by the Sword of Longinus held in the hand of the Head of the Jewish counsel who was in charge of the blade of Longinus. That man was also the uncle of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea. To execute by blade to the heart was strictly enforced to Roman Citizens only. The blade to the heart proves beyond a doubt Jesus was a Roman Citizen. Look no further than the evidence of "lock her up". Canada does not have said level of political hatred. Right now, only Mecca against the Jews and all non-believers, and the GOP against anyone who tells them something they do not want to hear.
o The Murphy’s Law, points to all the evidence Jesus would have been brought in front of the Senate and tried for "High Treason" for being an enemy of the state. He would have had to do that in Rome proper.
o So, might as well take the trip himself, since he already knew he was headed to Rome anyway.
o The meeting with the Pharisees, would have been a meeting in the Senate Chamber itself. At least one of them. Be interesting to find out which one. Most of the Temples in Rome had at one time or another been used to conduct Senate Business. They did not use just one building, they used whatever was available and size appropriate. If they only needed to do something small and no big deal, than a small 10 person chamber would work, if they needed the full senate they would have used the Temple of Jupiter on the Palestine Hill, since it was huge. If they only needed the principles to make some official decision, they would have used the not that large original temple of Rome as the Senate Chamber. Which could only hold about 100 maybe 200.
o Why name change? All pharaohs from Narmer to Cleopatra 3200-40 bce name changed upon being Pharaoh. All Popes from 2 to current 60 ce to present have name changed minus Simon Peter. The evidence points to; this is fiction. Even the bible points to this is fiction. Plus very shortly after the events of the crucifixion, Caligula abdicated his roll as Emperor and Claudus was appointed. All of Claudius’ ancestors are fictions. They were made up by the Senate. His mother, father, grandparents, etc. all fictions. It is impossible to find his fathers property in Rome Propper, his father did not own land in Rome. If he did not own land in Rome he would not have been a Senator. His son would not have been in the Army, or allowed to hold office. Germanicus is a pure fiction, did not exist; all paperwork regarding Germanicus was created decades later. The night of the last supper Jesus name changed to Simon Peter, and Claudius, and at least 2 others. He was appointed Pharaoh of Egypt and Emperor of Rome. He would be executed a short time later, and then, things changed. The senate became too scared of him to challenge to try and kill him again.
o That also points to who was Nero, that answer is the evil priest Paul.
o
For a while from Claudius Solo Emperor 24
January 41 – 13 October 54
(13 years) Co-Emperor with Nero Co-Emperor 13 October 54 – 9 June 68 (13 years).
Although obviously the dates were altered to place Nero several years after his
actual time as Emperor.
o Tiberius as Emperor 18 September 14 AD – 16 March 37 AD (22 years)
§ Emperor Tiberius was born Caesarian; he was the Son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar.
o Nero 18 March AD 37 – 24 January AD 41 (3 years, 10 months) aka The evil Priest Paul.
o Although Cleopatra did not commit suicide at August 12, 30 in her Palace under the guard of Octavian/Augustine. He was given the name Augustine to acknowledge his role as Pharaoh of Egypt. She was not captured after the battle of Actium 31 bce. Anthony wanted to return to being a Roman Citizen and retire in Athens. He was following the ROders of his Emperor Caesar, to guard Cleopatra with his life if necessary. But she was headed to Northumberland, and he was allowed to retire. However his wifes brother the Emperor and of course his wife did not want that. So he was captured at the Battle and executed, he was a soldier following orders, but orders from a Jew, so he was not an enemy of the state, he was a simple soldier. So he was exected by sword surrounded by soldiers. Cleopatra on the other hand, sailed out of Actium, siaed to Italy, then around to the Tiber River, where she picked up what money, people, ships, supplies, family, etc. were needed, then headed straight out of the medi to the Kgindom of Ogle were she would live for the next 3 decades.
o Evidence the entire roman Army followed and proceeded to try and conquer her army. They failed entirely for the next more than 400 years.
o From the point of Caesars Assassination to the Battel of Actium, Cleopatra was the Empress of Rome. But good luck finding evidence to back that up; other than Octavian was not given his full name till after Actium.
o Cleopatra and Octavian were Co-Emperors for more than 8 years. She continued to be Empress in Exile and sent orders to the Senate who were still loyal to Caesar for years after. Some of her orders were obeyed.
o
o
o Dissolved 73 when the Coliseum was completed. The pharisees had to move from Levant to Rome, their temple was moved. So they had to move and name change to something Latin also. They became part of the workings of the Coliseum and of course the Senate.

o The Ben Ben stone (land
o Ptah (the King)

o The limb of the ATEN touching the Ptah.
o
· Valley of the Vatican
o The Most difficult aspect of the Vatican and how it came to be is where it was placed. The history of the location itself is absolutely amazing. Yes the Cleopatra thing being the great grandmother to Jesus is extremely complex, yes Caesar’s assassination after his twins were conceived, Mark Anthony was only a guard not the lover of Cleopatra (pure fiction, he would not have been allowed within 3 feet of her. No possible way they would have been intimate), the Julii family, and Lucia family, Heliopolis the city itself, Memphis the city itself, Noah, NOahs Fleet, the Nephilim, Moses, the Avaris, the Hyksos, etc. all the these subjects are extremely to unbelievable level complex. However one of the most complex parts of the foundation of the Catholci Church is where the buildings were placed.
o The buildings are and have been since day one the most imporntat part. Although they have been remodeled several times after the Ship of Heliopolis arrived in Rome. Heliopolis was itself a ship, it was both a ship and a collection of ships or a fleet all working together.
o From 3800 bce when the invadors from Mecca obtained foothold in Egypt and slowly over the next half a millennia conquered Egypt. The story the invadors have been telling is an absolute lie, little aspect of the story they told about Noah has any credibility to it at all. For evidence look no further than the Narmer Monolith in southern Eggypt close to the city of Thebes/Luxor. He is commanding a fleet of ships.
o The story they want to tell is one huge ship animals 2x2. Nothing can be farther from the truth, first it was not one ship, but a fleet. Second it was not to house animals but the Nephilim library. Three they dd not abandone the ship in the north east corner of Anatolia Peninsula. Noah found a heading from that location and sailed directly to the temple of IWNW. Parked his fleet directly to the west of the temople of IWNW and began to rebuild the civilization and population in Eguypt. Physical evidence, for the last 6000 years in north east turkey civilization has been little to nothing for that time. but in Egypt from 4000 bce to present civilization has flourished and exploded. It is the absolute height if ignorance to assume a ship as technoloally advanced the Noah’s ship should be adanded. They would have started civilation from the ship itself. Since the ship was in effect a rather sizable manion, when docked. A stationary temple, mansion, governetn housing, businesses, etc.
o Yes we are going to leave this extremely large structure behind, wonder out and build new buildings. When the old building/ship is perfectly great to start civilization from.
o The Julii family has stayed in Rome after to fall to ensoure that at least some aspects of the original culture were present and intact when the ROMan Republic fell. Which took 700 years. But it did fall. And it fell in order to create a new government. An Empire, Imperal Rome, so that the Jewish King icould have a place to rule the world from. Which worked for a short time, till the senate was able to regroup and destroy it all. From 50-250 the Senate took hard and physical aim at the ministry of Jesus to desroy it. To replace it with the ministry of Paul, who has an unknown hieritage, but he was an Esau line descendant and perfectly capable of being the puppet the Senate demanded.
o The same offer the Senate gave Jesus which he not only turned donw on several occasions, they punished him for his refusals.
o The accounts of his being offered to sit in the Senate Chamber as Emperor is described in the 4 main gospels; provided the definition of pharisees was used inplace of senator. Which is entirely reasable since the number of people directly incharge of forming the gospels in the first place who directly hated Jesus and were entirely dedicated to and to the depth of their soul loyal to The Evil Priest Paul were enumberable. The Vatican did not sent representatives to the Cousnein of Nicaea 325 ce. They figured the counsel was a waste of time. Also the number of War Lords keeping those with informiatio and ideas others who did attend the counsel did not like were numerous. The areas around Nicaea were full to the brim of mercenaries with instructions to kill anyone who had infmraiotn or a gospel there group did not like. The entire gnostic group di not bother going because they knew Paul's people they were close to number one on the list to seek out and kill by Paul's people.
o To silence and only have their message in the gospels was the entire point for Paul;s people to be at the counsel period. They were in the room and dominant, they were outside killing anyone who approached who they disagreed with. Of course sevear ltoher armies were present and more than a few battles occurred outside between the armies of various groups trying to have their message heard. But for the small groups without military protection, they had no chance and did not know who was on their side and who was not.
o Of course after a few decades. It is entirely unclear as to “which Vatican” was being identified. The Vatican of the Noah’s Fleet or the other Noahs Fleet from Lake Nemi, which was only a few miles away. The Lake Nemi Ministry itself is also vastly complicated and difficult. It is also the core of a British Mythology about the Mists of Avalon. A city built on a lake, which a lot of times is surrounded by mists. This describes the Lake Nemi ships and towers perfectly.
o The Julii had owned the entire area and more the Vatican grounds sit on. The Julii had owned the lands since the Trojan War.
o Hence why Caligula moved the city of Heliopolis to the Swamp next to the Vatican Valley in the first place. Which was next to the Vatican Hill, which was quarried immediately after the Crucifixion. The Crucifixion took place at the Rock of Mars.
o The ship arrived almost exactly at the time of the Crucifixion.
· Vatican Remodels
o Heliopolis
§ 4000
§ 3800
§ 3500
§ 2100
§ 1500
§
o
o The first remodel occurred immediately
o The second remodel occurred circa 300 when the Vatican under the direction of the descendants of Paul seized power over Rome, creating the Papal State.
o The third remodel came at 1400; the third remodel is the current form of the Vatican.
o
· Vatican Hill aka Rock of Mars aka Mount Zion
o Shortly after the Crucifixion, the Senate ordered the Hill the Crucifixion took place on to be quaried, then the masoned stones to be placed around where the Hill used to be. Which was intended to prevent the area from becoming a Place of Pilgrimage for those devoted to the message of Christ. It failed in almost every way.

Matthew
Matt.1
[1] The book of the generation of
Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
[2] Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac
begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
[3] And Judas begat Phares and Zara
of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
[4] And Aram begat Aminadab; and
Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
[5] And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab;
and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
[6] And Jesse begat David the king;
and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
[7] And Solomon begat Roboam; and
Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
[8] And Asa begat Josaphat; and
Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
[9] And Ozias begat Joatham; and
Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
[10] And Ezekias begat Manasses; and
Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
[11] And Josias begat Jechonias and
his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
[12] And after they were brought to
Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
[13] And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and
Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
[14] And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc
begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
[15] And Eliud begat Eleazar; and
Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
[16] And Jacob begat Joseph the
husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[21] And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from
their sins.
[22] Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
[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.
[24] Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
[25] And knew her not till she had
brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matt.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] 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.
[3] When Herod the king had heard
these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
[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.
[5] And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
[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.
[7] Then Herod, when he had privily
called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
[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.
[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.
[10] When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
[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.
[12] And being warned of God in a
dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own
country another way.
[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.
[14] When he arose, he took the
young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
[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.
[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 inquired of
the wise men.
[17] Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
[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.
[19] But when Herod was dead,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
[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.
[21] And he arose, and took the
young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
[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:
[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.
Matt.3
[1] In those days came John the
Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[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.
[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.
[5] Then went out to him Jerusalem,
and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
[6] And were baptized of him in
Jordan, confessing their sins.
[7] But when he saw many of the Pharisees/Senators
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?
At the Baptism of both John and
Jesus; the Pharisees/Senators obviously showed up to witness. However they were
the definition of not welcome or invited. The Senators were not in Rome, they
were the Government officials overseeing the area of Levant lands.
[8] Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for repentance:
[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.
[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.
[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:
[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.
[13] Then cometh Jesus from Galilee
to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
[14] But John forbad him, saying, I
have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
[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.
[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:
[17] And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matt.4
[1] Then was Jesus led up of the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
[2] And when he had fasted forty
days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
[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] 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.
[5] Then the devil taketh him up
into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
[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.
[7] Jesus said unto him, It is
written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
[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;
[9] And saith unto him, All these
things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
[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.
[11] Then the devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
[12] Now when Jesus had heard that
John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
[13] And leaving Nazareth, he came
and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon
and Nephthalim:
[14] That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
[15] The land of Zabulon, and the
land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles;
[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.
[17] From that time Jesus began to
preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[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.
[19] And he saith unto them, Follow
me, and I will make you fishers of men.
[20] And they straightway left their
nets, and followed him.
[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.
[22] And they immediately left the
ship and their father, and followed him.
[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.
[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.
[25] And there followed him great
multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and
from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Matt.5
[1] And seeing the multitudes, he
went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
[2] And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying,
[3] Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[4] Blessed are they that mourn: for
they shall be comforted.
[5] Blessed are the meek: for they
shall inherit the earth.
[6] Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
[7] Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy.
[8] Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
[9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children of God.
[10] Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[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.
[12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
[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.
[14] Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[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.
[16] Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
[17] Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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:
[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.
[23] Therefore if thou bring thy
gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against
thee;
[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.
[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.
[26] Verily I say unto thee, Thou
shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
[27] Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[31] It hath been said, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
[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.
[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:
[34] But I say unto you, Swear not
at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
[35] Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
[36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy
head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
[37] But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
[38] Ye have heard that it hath been
said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
[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.
[40] And if any man will sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
[41] And whosoever shall compel thee
to go a mile, go with him twain.
[42] Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
[43] Ye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[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;
[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.
[46] For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
[47] And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
[48] Be ye therefore perfect, even
as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matt.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.
[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.
[3] But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
[4] That thine alms may be in
secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
[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] 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.
[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.
[8] Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
[9] After this manner therefore pray
ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
[10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth, as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily
bread.
[12] And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors.
[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.
[14] For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
[15] But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
[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.
[17] But thou, when thou fastest, anoint
thine head, and wash thy face;
[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.
[19] Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal:
[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:
[21] For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
[22] The light of the body is the
eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
[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!
[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.
[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?
[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?
[27] Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature?
[28] And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
[29] And yet I say unto you, That
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
[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?
[31] Therefore take no thought,
saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
[32] (For after all these things do
the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all
these things.
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
[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.
Matt.7
[1] Judge not, that ye be not
judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again.
[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?
[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?
[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.
[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] Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
[8] For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened.
[9] Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he
give him a serpent?
[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?
[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.
[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:
[14] Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
[15] Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[19] Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.
[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.
[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?
[23] And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[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:
[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.
[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:
[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.
[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
[29] For he taught them as one
having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matt.8
[1] When he was come down from the
mountain, great multitudes followed him.
[2] And, behold, there came a leper
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[3] And Jesus put forth his hand,
and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed.
[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.
[5] And when Jesus was entered into
Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
[6] And saying, Lord, my servant
lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
[7] And Jesus saith unto him, I will
come and heal him.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[12] But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
[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.
[14] And when Jesus was come into
Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
[15] And he touched her hand, and
the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
[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:
[17] That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities,
and bare our sicknesses.
[18] Now when Jesus saw great
multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
[19] And a certain scribe came, and
said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
[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.
[21] And another of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
[22] But Jesus said unto him, Follow
me; and let the dead bury their dead.
This seems out of place, but he was informing Jesus that his father was living in Rome. He wanted to tell his father all about the word of Jesus. Suffer, to peach to a possibly unacceptable crowd.
The response translates better as. No worries Son, we will preach to your father together. I am not above preaching to anyone; you do not have to go alone, we shall go together.
This is also a reference to the uneasy spirits/energy in the city of Rome from 1330 when the Evacuees from Troy began to arrive in large waves, till 753 when the descendants of Agamemnon’s army finally conquered Alba Longa destroying both Alba Longa and the Army of Samhain. Sending a note ahead “Throw open the gates and surrender, or I will kill everyone in that city”. The Dead Bury their Dead is a reference to the long ago forgotten war over the city of Samhain which would need to be addressed and the dead put to rest.
[23] And when he was entered into a
ship, his disciples followed him.
The ship was bound for Rome Proper.
[24] And, behold, there arose a
great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves:
but he was asleep.
[25] And his disciples came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
[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.
[27] But the men marvelled, saying,
What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
[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.
A reference to the creatures of the Odyssey which Odysseus had to pass. Instead of being creatures, they ere turned into demons and devils. Overtime and other versions they were turned into Harpies, descendants of Lilith the first wife of Adam. This is a direct reference to a similar journey from Levant lands to Rome, that Odysseus took from Troy to Rome. Passing similar storms and creatures.
[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?
[30] And there was a good way off
from them an herd of many swine feeding.
[31] So the devils besought him,
saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
[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.
[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.
[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.
Matt.9
[1] And he entered into a ship, and
passed over, and came into his own city.
He entered his own city. He was
born to rule over this city. This city being Heliopolis aka Jerusalem aka IWNW.
This city he entered and of course the Pharisees/Senators were more than a
small amount enraged by these actions. They wanted to arrest him and take him
in chains to Rome, so they could torture and starve him for the 1000 mile
journey. But he arrived by ship, rested, healthy, and ready to further his
ministry.
[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.
[3] And, behold, certain of the
scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
[4] And Jesus knowing their thoughts
said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
[5] For whether is easier, to say,
Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
[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.
[7] And he arose, and departed to
his house.
[8] But when the multitudes saw it,
they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
[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.
[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.
[11] And when the Pharisees/Senators
saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and
sinners?
Fist major encounter with the
Senators of Rome
[12] But when Jesus heard that, he
said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are
sick.
[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.
[14] Then came to him the disciples
of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees/Senators fast oft, but thy
disciples fast not?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[19] And Jesus arose, and followed
him, and so did his disciples.
[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:
[21] For she said within herself, If
I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
[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.
[23] And when Jesus came into the
ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
[24] He said unto them, Give place:
for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
[25] But when the people were put
forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
[26] And the fame hereof went abroad
into all that land.
[27] And when Jesus departed thence,
two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy
on us.
[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.
[29] Then touched he their eyes,
saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
[30] And their eyes were opened; and
Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
[31] But they, when they were
departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
[32] As they went out, behold, they
brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
[33] And when the devil was cast
out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen
in Israel.
[34] But the Pharisees/Senators said,
He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
The Argument continues, in what
location is a fantastic questions.
[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.
[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.
[37] Then saith he unto his
disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
[38] Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matt.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.
[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;
[3] Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas,
and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose
surname was Thaddaeus;
[4] Simon the Canaanite, and Judas
Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
[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:
Do not bother dealing with the Senate or the upper class. Work with the poor, the slaves, and the lowest class of people. Preach to them, help them, volunteer, etc. be Good Samaritans to the lowest. Because a chain in only as strong as its weakest member; the Senate obviously does not care at all about the weakest in the Roman Culture, in fact they make good money off of those who are least able to protect themselves. So we work to convert them, a major aspect of the power of the Senate will no longer be available to them.
[6] But go rather to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
The people of Israel have been
scattered to the winds, it is time they all are informed to make a decision to
come into the path or reject the path.
[7] And as ye go, preach, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[8] Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
[9] Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses,
[10] Nor scrip for your journey,
neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of
his meat.
[11] And into whatsoever city or
town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go
thence.
[12] And when ye come into an house,
salute it.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[16] Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as
doves.
[17] But beware of men: for they
will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their
synagogues;
[18] And ye shall be brought before
governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
[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.
[20] For it is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
[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.
[22] And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
[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.
[24] The disciple is not above his
master, nor the servant above his lord.
[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?
[26] Fear them not therefore: for
there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not
be known.
[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.
[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.
[29] Are not two sparrows sold for a
farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
[30] But the very hairs of your head
are all numbered.
[31] Fear ye not therefore, ye are
of more value than many sparrows.
[32] Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in
heaven.
[33] But whosoever shall deny me
before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
[34] Think not that I am come to
send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
[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.
[36] And a man's foes shall be they
of his own household.
[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.
[38] And he that taketh not his
cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
[39] He that findeth his life shall
lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
[40] He that receiveth you receiveth
me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
[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.
[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.
Matt.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.
[2] Now when John had heard in the
prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
[3] And said unto him, Art thou he
that should come, or do we look for another?
[4] Jesus answered and said unto
them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
[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.
[6] And blessed is he, whosoever
shall not be offended in me.
[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?
[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.
[9] But what went ye out for to see?
A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
[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] 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.
[12] And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent
take it by force.
[13] For all the prophets and the
law prophesied until John.
[14] And if ye will receive it, this
is Elias, which was for to come.
[15] He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear.
[16] But whereunto shall I liken this
generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto
their fellows,
[17] And saying, We have piped unto
you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not
lamented.
[18] For John came neither eating
nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
[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.
[20] Then began he to upbraid the
cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
[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.
[22] But I say unto you, It shall be
more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[26] Even so, Father: for so it
seemed good in thy sight.
[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.
[28] Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[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.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
Matt.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.
[2] But when the Pharisees/Senators saw
it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do
upon the sabbath day.
And again another meeting
between the Pharisees/Senators, trying every single way they can find to either
destroy his ministry and or call into question his authority. His responses
were not the what the senate wanted, they wanted him to be afraid, take them
seriously, bow in full respect, etc. he did nothing of the sort. He had warned
them that if they kept up their bad actions, they would face very bad outcomes.
[3] But he said unto them, Have ye
not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
[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?
[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?
[6] But I say unto you, That in this
place is one greater than the temple.
[7] But if ye had known what this
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the
guiltless.
[8] For the Son of man is Lord even
of the sabbath day.
[9] And when he was departed thence,
he went into their synagogue:
[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.
[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] How much then is a man better
than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
[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.
[14] Then the Pharisees/Senators went
out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
The Senators were angry they
lost argument after argument. They attacked him from every side they could.
They lost each way. They were becoming desperate.
[15] But when Jesus knew it, he
withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed
them all;
[16] And charged them that they
should not make him known:
[17] That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Esais’ is Latin for Esau, the
brother of Jacob. The Senators fully on acknowledged they were working in the
best interests of Esau against Jacob. Showing hard evidence they were Pharisees
[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.
[19] He shall not strive, nor cry;
neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
[20] A bruised reed shall he not
break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto
victory.
[21] And in his name shall the
Gentiles trust.
[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.
[23] And all the people were amazed,
and said, Is not this the son of David?
[24] But when the Pharisees/Senators
heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the
prince of the devils.
[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:
[26] And if Satan cast out Satan, he
is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
[27] And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils,
by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
[28] But if I cast out devils by the
Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
[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.
[30] He that is not with me is
against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[34] O generation of vipers, how can
ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
[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.
[36] But I say unto you, That every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment.
[37] For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
[38] Then certain of the scribes and
of the Pharisees/Senators answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from
thee.
[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:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[43] When the unclean spirit is gone
out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
[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.
[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.
[46] While he yet talked to the people,
behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
[47] Then one said unto him, Behold,
thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
[48] But he answered and said unto
him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
[49] And he stretched forth his hand
toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
[50] For whosoever shall do the will
of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother.
Matt.13
[1] The same day went Jesus out of
the house, and sat by the sea side.
[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.
[3] And he spake many things unto them
in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
[4] And when he sowed, some seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
[5] Some fell upon stony places,
where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had
no deepness of earth:
[6] And when the sun was up, they
were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
[7] And some fell among thorns; and
the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
[8] But other fell into good ground,
and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
[9] Who hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
[10] And the disciples came, and
said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
[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.
[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] Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do
they understand.
[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:
[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.
[16] But blessed are your eyes, for
they see: and your ears, for they hear.
[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.
[18] Hear ye therefore the parable
of the sower.
[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.
[20] But he that received the seed
into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy
receiveth it;
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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:
[25] But while men slept, his enemy
came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
[26] But when the blade was sprung
up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
[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?
[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?
[29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
[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.
[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:
[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.
[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.
[34] All these things spake Jesus
unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
[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.
[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.
[37] He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
[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;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is
the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[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;
[42] And shall cast them into a
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43] Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
[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.
[45] Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
[46] Who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
[47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[48] Which, when it was full, they
drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the
bad away.
[49] So shall it be at the end of
the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the
just,
[50] And shall cast them into the
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[51] Jesus saith unto them, Have ye
understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
[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.
[53] And it came to pass, that when
Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
[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?
[55] Is not this the carpenter's
son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and
Simon, and Judas?
[56] And his sisters, are they not
all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
[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.
[58] And he did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief.
Matt.14
[1] At that time Herod the tetrarch
heard of the fame of Jesus,
[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.
[3] For Herod had laid hold on John,
and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's
wife.
[4] For John said unto him, It is
not lawful for thee to have her.
[5] And when he would have put him
to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
[6] But when Herod's birthday was
kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
[7] Whereupon he promised with an
oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
[8] And she, being before instructed
of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
[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.
[10] And he sent, and beheaded John
in the prison.
[11] And his head was brought in a
charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
[12] And his disciples came, and
took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
[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] And Jesus went forth, and saw a
great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their
sick.
[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.
[16] But Jesus said unto them, They
need not depart; give ye them to eat.
[17] And they say unto him, We have
here but five loaves, and two fishes.
[18] He said, Bring them hither to
me.
[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.
[20] And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
[21] And they that had eaten were
about five thousand men, beside women and children.
[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.
[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.
[24] But the ship was now in the
midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
[25] And in the fourth watch of the
night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
[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.
[27] But straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
[28] And Peter answered him and
said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
[29] And he said, Come. And when
Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
[30] But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save
me.
[31] And immediately Jesus stretched
forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt?
[32] And when they were come into
the ship, the wind ceased.
[33] Then they that were in the ship
came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
[34] And when they were gone over,
they came into the land of Gennesaret.
[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;
[36] And besought him that they
might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made
perfectly whole.
Matt.15
[1] Then came to Jesus scribes and
Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
[2] Why do thy disciples transgress
the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
[3] But he answered and said unto
them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
[4] For God commanded, saying,
Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him
die the death.
[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;
[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.
[7] Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias
prophesy of you, saying,
[8] This people draweth nigh unto me
with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from
me.
[9] But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
[10] And he called the multitude,
and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
[11] Not that which goeth into the
mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a
man.
[12] Then came his disciples, and
said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees/Senators were offended, after they
heard this saying?
[13] But he answered and said, Every
plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
[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] Then answered Peter and said
unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
[16] And Jesus said, Are ye also yet
without understanding?
[17] Do not ye yet understand, that
whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into
the draught?
[18] But those things which proceed
out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
[19] For out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:
[20] These are the things which
defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
[21] Then Jesus went thence, and
departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
[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.
[23] But he answered her not a word.
And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth
after us.
[24] But he answered and said, I am
not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[25] Then came she and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, help me.
[26] But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
[27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
[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.
[29] And Jesus departed from thence,
and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat
down there.
[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:
[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.
[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.
[33] And his disciples say unto him,
Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a
multitude?
[34] And Jesus saith unto them, How
many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
[35] And he commanded the multitude
to sit down on the ground.
[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.
[37] And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
[38] And they that did eat were four
thousand men, beside women and children.
[39] And he sent away the multitude,
and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala,
Matt.16
[1] The Pharisees/Senators also with
the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign
from heaven.
[2] He answered and said unto them,
When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
[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?
[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.
[5] And when his disciples were come
to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
[6] Then Jesus said unto them, Take
heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees/Senators and of the Sadducees.
[7] And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
[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?
[9] Do ye not yet understand, neither
remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
[10] Neither the seven loaves of the
four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
[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/Senators and of the Sadducees?
[12] Then understood they how that
he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees/Senators
and of the Sadducees.
[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?
[14] And they said, Some say that
thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets.
[15] He saith unto them, But whom
say ye that I am?
[16] And Simon Peter answered and
said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[20] Then charged he his disciples
that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
[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.
[22] Then Peter took him, and began
to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
[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.
[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.
[25] For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
[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?
[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.
[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.
Matt.17
[1] And after six days Jesus taketh
Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart,
[2] And was transfigured before
them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the
light.
[3] And, behold, there appeared unto
them Moses and Elias talking with him.
[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.
[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.
[6] And when the disciples heard it,
they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
[7] And Jesus came and touched them,
and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
[8] And when they had lifted up
their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
[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.
[10] And his disciples asked him,
saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
[11] And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[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.
[13] Then the disciples understood
that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
[14] And when they were come to the
multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
[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.
[16] And I brought him to thy
disciples, and they could not cure him.
[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.
[18] And Jesus rebuked the devil;
and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
[19] Then came the disciples to
Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
[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.
[21] Howbeit this kind goeth not out
but by prayer and fasting.
[22] And while they abode in
Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands
of men:
[23] And they shall kill him, and
the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
[24] And when they were come to
Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not
your master pay tribute?
[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?
[26] Peter saith unto him, Of
strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
[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.
Matt.18
[1] At the same time came the
disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
[2] And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
[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.
[4] Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
[5] And whoso shall receive one such
little child in my name receiveth me.
[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.
[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!
[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.
[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.
[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.
[11] For the Son of man is come to
save that which was lost.
[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?
[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.
[14] Even so it is not the will of
your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
[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.
[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.
[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] 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.
[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.
[20] For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
[21] Then came Peter to him, and
said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till
seven times?
[22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
[23] Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
[24] And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
[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.
[26] The servant therefore fell
down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all.
[27] Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
[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.
[29] And his fellowservant fell down
at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all.
[30] And he would not: but went and
cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
[31] So when his fellowservants saw
what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that
was done.
[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:
[33] Shouldest not thou also have
had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
[34] And his lord was wroth, and
delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
[35] So likewise shall my heavenly
Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses.
Matt.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;
[2] And great multitudes followed
him; and he healed them there.
[3] The Pharisees/Senators also came
unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away
his wife for every cause?
[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,
[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?
[6] Wherefore they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.
[7] They say unto him, Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
[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.
[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.
[10] His disciples say unto him, If
the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
[11] But he said unto them, All men
cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
[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.
[13] Then were there brought unto
him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the
disciples rebuked them.
[14] But Jesus said, Suffer little
children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.
[15] And he laid his hands on them,
and departed thence.
[16] And, behold, one came and said
unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life?
[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.
[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] Honour thy father and thy
mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[20] The young man saith unto him,
All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
[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.
[22] But when the young man heard
that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
[23] Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
[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.
[25] When his disciples heard it,
they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
[26] But Jesus beheld them, and said
unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
[27] Then answered Peter and said
unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have
therefore?
[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.
[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.
[30] But many that are first shall
be last; and the last shall be first.
Matt.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.
[2] And when he had agreed with the
labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
[3] And he went out about the third
hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
[4] And said unto them; Go ye also
into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their
way.
[5] Again he went out about the
sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[9] And when they came that were
hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
[10] But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every
man a penny.
[11] And when they had received it,
they murmured against the goodman of the house,
[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.
[13] But he answered one of them,
and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
[14] Take that thine is, and go thy
way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
[15] Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
[16] So the last shall be first, and
the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
[17] And Jesus going up to Jerusalem
took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
[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,
[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] Then came to him the mother of
Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing
of him.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[24] And when the ten heard it, they
were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
[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.
[26] But it shall not be so among
you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
[27] And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant:
[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.
[29] And as they departed from
Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
[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.
[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.
[32] And Jesus stood still, and
called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
[33] They say unto him, Lord, that
our eyes may be opened.
[34] So Jesus had compassion on
them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and
they followed him.
Matt.21
[1] And when they drew nigh unto
Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent
Jesus two disciples,
[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.
[3] And if any man say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send
them.
[4] All this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
[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.
[6] And the disciples went, and did
as Jesus commanded them,
[7] And brought the ass, and the
colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
[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.
[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.
[10] And when he was come into
Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
[11] And the multitude said, This is
Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
[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,
[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.
[14] And the blind and the lame came
to him in the temple; and he healed them.
[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,
[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?
[17] And he left them, and went out
of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
[18] Now in the morning as he
returned into the city, he hungered.
[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.
[20] And when the disciples saw it,
they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
[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.
[22] And all things, whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
[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?
[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.
[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?
[26] But if we shall say, Of men; we
fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
[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.
[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.
[29] He answered and said, I will
not: but afterward he repented, and went.
[30] And he came to the second, and
said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
[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.
[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.
[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:
[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.
[35] And the husbandmen took his
servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
[36] Again, he sent other servants
more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
[37] But last of all he sent unto
them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
[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.
[39] And they caught him, and cast
him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
[40] When the lord therefore of the
vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
[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.
[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?
[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.
[44] And whosoever shall fall on
this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him
to powder.
[45] And when the chief priests and Pharisees/Senators
had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
[46] But when they sought to lay
hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Matt.22
[1] And Jesus answered and spake
unto them again by parables, and said,
[2] The kingdom of heaven is like
unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
[3] And sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
[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.
[5] But they made light of it, and
went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
[6] And the remnant took his
servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
[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.
[8] Then saith he to his servants,
The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
[9] Go ye therefore into the
highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
[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.
[11] And when the king came in to
see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
[12] And he saith unto him, Friend,
how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
[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.
[14] For many are called, but few
are chosen.
[15] Then went the Pharisees, and
took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
[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.
[17] Tell us therefore, What
thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
[18] But Jesus perceived their wickedness,
and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
[19] Shew me the tribute money. And
they brought unto him a penny.
[20] And he saith unto them, Whose
is this image and superscription?
[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] When they had heard these
words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
[23] The same day came to him the
Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
[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.
[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:
[26] Likewise the second also, and
the third, unto the seventh.
[27] And last of all the woman died
also.
[28] Therefore in the resurrection
whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
[29] Jesus answered and said unto
them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
[30] For in the resurrection they
neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in
heaven.
[31] But as touching the
resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by
God, saying,
[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.
[33] And when the multitude heard
this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
[34] But when the Pharisees/Senators
had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered
together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a
lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?
[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.
[38] This is the first and great
commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.
[41] While the Pharisees/Senators were
gathered together, Jesus asked them,
[42] Saying, What think ye of
Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
[43] He saith unto them, How then
doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
[44] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
[45] If David then call him Lord,
how is he his son?
[46] And no man was able to answer
him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more
questions.
Matt.23
[1] Then spake Jesus to the
multitude, and to his disciples,
[2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees/Senators
sit in Moses' seat:
[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.
[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.
[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,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at
feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets,
and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[8] But be not ye called Rabbi: for
one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
[9] And call no man your father upon
the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
[10] Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, even Christ.
[11] But he that is greatest among
you shall be your servant.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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!
[17] Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
[18] And, Whosoever shall swear by
the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it,
he is guilty.
[19] Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
[20] Whoso therefore shall swear by
the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
[21] And whoso shall swear by the
temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
[22] And he that shall swear by
heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
[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.
[24] Ye blind guides, which strain
at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
[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.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse
first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be
clean also.
[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.
[28] Even so ye also outwardly
appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish
the sepulchres of the righteous,
[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.
[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto
yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
[32] Fill ye up then the measure of
your fathers.
[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of
vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
[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:
[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.
[36] Verily I say unto you, All
these things shall come upon this generation.
[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!
[38] Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.
[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.
Matt.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.
[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.
[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?
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
[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.
[7] For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of
sorrows.
[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.
[10] And then shall many be offended,
and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
[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.
[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:)
[16] Then let them which be in
Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the
field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
[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.
[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.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[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.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
[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.
[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.
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
[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:
[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.
[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.
[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:
[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
[34] Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass away.
[36] But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
[37] But as the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[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,
[39] And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[40] Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[41] Two women shall be grinding at
the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[42] Watch therefore: for ye know
not what hour your Lord doth come.
[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.
[44] Therefore be ye also ready: for
in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
[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?
[46] Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[47] Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods.
[48] But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
[49] And shall begin to smite his
fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
[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,
[51] And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
Matt.25
[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
[2] And five of them were wise, and
five were foolish.
[3] They that were foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil with them:
[4] But the wise took oil in their
vessels with their lamps.
[5] While the bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
[6] And at midnight there was a cry
made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
[7] Then all those virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps.
[8] And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
[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.
[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.
[11] Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
[12] But he answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
[13] Watch therefore, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
[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.
[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.
[16] Then he that had received the
five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
[17] And likewise he that had
received two, he also gained other two.
[18] But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
[19] After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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] And I was afraid, and went and
hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
[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:
[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.
[28] Take therefore the talent from
him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[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.
[30] And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[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:
[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:
[33] And he shall set the sheep on
his right hand, but the goats on the left.
[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:
[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:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and
gave thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a stranger,
and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto thee?
[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.
[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:
[42] For I was an hungred, and ye
gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
[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.
[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?
[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.
[46] And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Matt.26
[1] And it came to pass, when Jesus
had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
[2] Ye know that after two days is
the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
[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,
[4] And consulted that they might
take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
[5] But they said, Not on the feast
day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
[6] Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in
the house of Simon the leper,
[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.
[8] But when his disciples saw it,
they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
[9] For this ointment might have
been sold for much, and given to the poor.
[10] When Jesus understood it, he
said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon
me.
[11] For ye have the poor always
with you; but me ye have not always.
[12] For in that she hath poured
this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
[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.
[14] Then one of the twelve, called
Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
[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.
[16] And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
[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?
[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.
[19] And the disciples did as Jesus
had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
[20] Now when the even was come, he
sat down with the twelve.
[21] And as they did eat, he said,
Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
[22] And they were exceeding
sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
[23] And he answered and said, He
that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
[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.
[25] Then Judas, which betrayed him,
answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
[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.
[27] And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
[28] For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
[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.
[30] And when they had sung an hymn,
they went out into the mount of Olives.
[31] Then saith Jesus unto them, All
ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite
the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
[32] But after I am risen again, I
will go before you into Galilee.
[33] Peter answered and said unto
him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be
offended.
[34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say
unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[35] Peter said unto him, Though I
should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the
disciples.
[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.
[37] And he took with him Peter and
the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
[38] Then saith he unto them, My
soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
[39] And he went a little further,
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.
[40] And he cometh unto the disciples,
and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me
one hour?
[41] Watch and pray, that ye enter
not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
[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.
[43] And he came and found them
asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
[44] And he left them, and went away
again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
[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.
[46] Rise, let us be going: behold,
he is at hand that doth betray me.
[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.
[48] Now he that betrayed him gave
them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
[49] And forthwith he came to Jesus,
and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
[50] And Jesus said unto him,
Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and
took him.
[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.
[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.
[53] Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of
angels?
[54] But how then shall the
scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
[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.
[56] But all this was done, that the
scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook
him, and fled.
[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.
[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.
[59] Now the chief priests, and
elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to
death;
[60] But found none: yea, though
many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[61] And said, This fellow said, I
am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
[62] And the high priest arose, and
said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against
thee?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[66] What think ye? They answered
and said, He is guilty of death.
[67] Then did they spit in his face,
and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
[68] Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou
Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
[69] Now Peter sat without in the
palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of
Galilee.
[70] But he denied before them all,
saying, I know not what thou sayest.
[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.
[72] And again he denied with an
oath, I do not know the man.
[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.
[74] Then began he to curse and to
swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
[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.
Matt.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:
[2] And when they had bound him,
they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
[3] Then Judas, which had betrayed
him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
[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.
[5] And he cast down the pieces of
silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
[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.
[7] And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
[8] Wherefore that field was called,
The field of blood, unto this day.
[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;
[10] And gave them for the potter's
field, as the Lord appointed me.
[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.
[12] And when he was accused of the
chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
[13] Then said Pilate unto him,
Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
[14] And he answered him to never a
word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
[15] Now at that feast the governor
was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
[16] And they had then a notable
prisoner, called Barabbas.
[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?
[18] For he knew that for envy they
had delivered him.
[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.
[20] But the chief priests and
elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy
Jesus.
[21] The governor answered and said
unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said,
Barabbas.
[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.
[23] And the governor said, Why,
what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified.
[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.
[25] Then answered all the people,
and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto
them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
[27] Then the soldiers of the
governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band
of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put
on him a scarlet robe.
[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!
[30] And they spit upon him, and
took the reed, and smote him on the head.
[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.
[32] And as they came out, they
found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a
place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
[34] They gave him vinegar to drink
mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
[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.
[36] And sitting down they watched
him there;
[37] And set up over his head his
accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[38] Then were there two thieves
crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
[39] And they that passed by reviled
him, wagging their heads,
[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.
[41] Likewise also the chief priests
mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
[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.
[43] He trusted in God; let him
deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
[44] The thieves also, which were
crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
[45] Now from the sixth hour there
was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
[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?
[47] Some of them that stood there,
when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
[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.
[49] The rest said, Let be, let us
see whether Elias will come to save him.
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again
with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[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;
[52] And the graves were opened; and
many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
[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.
[55] And many women were there
beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
[57] When the even was come, there
came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'
disciple:
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged
the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
[59] And when Joseph had taken the
body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
[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.
[61] And there was Mary Magdalene,
and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
[62] Now the next day, that followed
the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees/Senators came
together unto Pilate,
[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
[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.
[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have
a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
[66] So they went, and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Matt.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.
[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.
[3] His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers
did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
[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.
[8] And they departed quickly from
the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
[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.
[10] Then said Jesus unto them, Be
not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they
see me.
[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.
[12] And when they were assembled
with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the
soldiers,
[13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples
came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
[14] And if this come to the
governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
[15] So they took the money, and did
as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until
this day.
[16] Then the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
[17] And when they saw him, they
worshipped him: but some doubted.
[18] And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
[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:
[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.
