New Testament Luke Luke 1
King
James Version
1 Forasmuch
as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those
things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered
them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of
the word; 3 It seemed good to me
also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to
write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know
the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 5 There was in the days
of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course
of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was
Elisabeth. 6 And they were both
righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the
Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child,
because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in
years. 8 And it came to pass,
that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his
course, 9 According to the custom
of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the
temple of the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude
of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 11 And there appeared unto
him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw
him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto
him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth
shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14 And thou shalt have joy
and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great
in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and
he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the
children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before
him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord. 18 And Zacharias said unto
the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well
stricken in years. 19 And the angel answering
said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent
to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. 20 And, behold, thou shalt
be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be
performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in
their season. 21 And the people waited
for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 22 And when he came out,
he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in
the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. 23 And it came to pass,
that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed
to his own house. 24 And after those days
his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord
dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach
among men. 26 And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was
Mary. 28 And the angel came in
unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with
thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him,
she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of
salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great, and
shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over
the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the
angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered
and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And, behold, thy cousin
Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the
sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing
shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold
the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel
departed from her. 39 And Mary arose in those
days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40 And entered into the
house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41 And it came to pass,
that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her
womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42 And she spake out with
a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to
me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For, lo, as soon as the
voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for
joy. 45 And blessed is she that
believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told
her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said, My soul
doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath
rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded
the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he that is mighty
hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is on
them that fear him from generation to generation. 51 He hath shewed strength
with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the
mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the
hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath helped his
servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 55 As he spake to our
fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56 And Mary abode with her
about three months, and returned to her own house. 57 Now Elisabeth's full
time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbours and
her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they
rejoiced with her. 59 And it came to pass,
that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him
Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60 And his mother answered
and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 61 And they said unto her,
There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 62 And they made signs to
his father, how he would have him called. 63 And he asked for a
writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 64 And his mouth was
opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 65 And fear came on all
that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad
throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 66 And all they that heard
them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this
be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 67 And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God
of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an
horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the
mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved
from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy
promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware
to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant
unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve
him without fear, 75 In holiness and
righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76 And thou, child, shalt
be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of
the Lord to prepare his ways; 77 To give knowledge of
salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 78 Through the tender
mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79 To give light to them
that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the
way of peace. 80 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing
unto Israel. Luke 2
King
James Version
2 And it
came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus
that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up
from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of
David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that,
while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered. 7 And she brought forth
her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the
same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of
the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger. 13 And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as
the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to
another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come
to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with
haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this
child. 18 And all they that heard
it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them. 21 And when eight days
were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was
called Jesus,
which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22 And when the days of
her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they
brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 23 (As it is written in
the law of the Lord,
Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 24 And to offer a
sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of
turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 25 And, behold, there was
a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and
devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon
him. 26 And it was revealed
unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen
the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came by the
Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to
do for him after the custom of the law, 28 Then took he him up in
his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30 For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation, 31 Which thou hast
prepared before the face of all people; 32 A light to lighten the
Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33 And Joseph and his
mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 34 And Simeon blessed
them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall
and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken
against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall
pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be
revealed. 36 And there was one Anna,
a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a
great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of
about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but
served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that
instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that
looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 39 And when they had
performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into
Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to
Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve
years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had
fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in
Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him
to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among
their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him
not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass,
that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of
the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him
were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him,
they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt
with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them,
How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's
business? 50 And they understood not
the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with
them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept
all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Luke 3
King
James Version
3 Now in
the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being
governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother
Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the
tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas
being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias
in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all
the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the
remission of sins; 4 As it is written in the
book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be
filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked
shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see
the salvation of God. 7 Then said he to the
multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore
fruits worthy of repentance, and begin 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. 9 And now also the axe is
laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10 And the people asked
him, saying, What shall we do then? 11 He answereth and saith
unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and
he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12 Then came also
publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13 And he said unto them,
Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14 And the soldiers
likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto
them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with
your wages. 15 And as the people were
in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were
the Christ, or not; 16 John answered, saying
unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his
hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into
his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 18 And many other things
in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch,
being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the
evils which Herod had done, 20 Added yet this above
all, that he shut up John in prison. 21 Now when all the people
were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying,
the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost
descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from
heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 23 And Jesus himself began
to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Heli, 24 Which was the son of
Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was
the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 25 Which was the son of
Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was
the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 26 Which was the son of
Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was
the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 27 Which was the son of
Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was
the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 28 Which was the son of
Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the
son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 29 Which was the son of
Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the
son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 30 Which was the son of
Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the
son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 31 Which was the son of
Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was
the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, 32 Which was the son of
Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the
son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 33 Which was the son of
Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was
the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 34 Which was the son of
Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was
the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 35 Which was the son of
Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was
the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 36 Which was the son of
Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was
the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 37 Which was the son of
Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was
the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of
Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son
of God. Luke 4
King
James Version
4 And
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days
tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they
were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto
him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him,
saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word of God. 5 And the devil, taking
him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world
in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto
him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is
delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt
worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and
said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to
Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If
thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 For it is written, He
shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering
said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had
ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 14 And Jesus returned in
the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him
through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their
synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to
Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into
the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered
unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he
found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he
hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised, 19 To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them
that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say
unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him
witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said unto them,
Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever
we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I
say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a
truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the
land; 26 But unto none of them
was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a
widow. 27 And many lepers were in
Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed,
saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the
synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust
him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city
was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through
the midst of them went his way, 31 And came down to
Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were
astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 33 And in the synagogue
there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a
loud voice, 34 Saying, Let us alone;
what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him,
saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown
him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all
amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with
authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him
went out into every place of the country round about. 38 And he arose out of the
synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was
taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her,
and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and
ministered unto them. 40 Now when the sun was
setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto
him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came
out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he
rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 42 And when it was day, he
departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came
unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43 And he said unto them,
I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I
sent. 44 And he preached in the
synagogues of Galilee. Luke 5
King
James Version
5 And it
came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God,
he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw two ships
standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were
washing their nets. 3 And he entered into one
of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a
little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left
speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your
nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering
said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this
done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto
their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help
them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw
it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful
man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished,
and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 And so was also James,
and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said
unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had
brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 12 And it came to pass,
when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus
fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean. 13 And he put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the
leprosy departed from him. 14 And he charged him to
tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 15 But so much the more
went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear,
and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 And he withdrew himself
into the wilderness, and prayed. 17 And it came to pass on
a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of
the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea,
and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 And, behold, men
brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to
bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19 And when they could not
find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went
upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into
the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he saw their
faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 21 And the scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 22 But when Jesus
perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your
hearts? 23 Whether is easier, to
say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 24 But that ye may know
that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the
sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go
into thine house. 25 And immediately he rose
up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own
house, glorifying God. 26 And they were all
amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have
seen strange things to day. 27 And after these things
he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of
custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he left all, rose
up, and followed him. 29 And Levi made him a
great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and
of others that sat down with them. 30 But their scribes and
Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink
with publicans and sinners? 31 And Jesus answering
said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are
sick. 32 I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance. 33 And they said unto him,
Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the
disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? 34 And he said unto them,
Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is
with them? 35 But the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast
in those days. 36 And he spake also a
parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if
otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out
of the new agreeth not with the old. 37 And no man putteth new
wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be
spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 38 But new wine must be
put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 39 No man also having
drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. Luke 6

6 And it
came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the
corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing
them in their hands. 2 And certain of the
Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the
sabbath days? 3 And Jesus answering
them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was
an hungred, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the
house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that
were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5 And he said unto them,
That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 6 And it came to pass
also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and
there was a man whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and
Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they
might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their
thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand
forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then said Jesus unto
them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good,
or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 10 And looking round about
upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so:
and his hand was restored whole as the other. 11 And they were filled
with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 12 And it came to pass in
those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, he
called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he
named apostles; 14 Simon, (whom he also
named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas,
James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16 And Judas the brother
of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 17 And he came down with
them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great
multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast
of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 And they that were
vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude
sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 20 And he lifted up his
eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom
of God. 21 Blessed are ye that
hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye
shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when
men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and
shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day,
and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the
like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that
are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are
full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn
and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all
men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 27 But I say unto you
which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And unto him that
smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away
thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. 30 Give to every man that
asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that
men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32 For if ye love them
which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love
them. 33 And if ye do good to
them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the
same. 34 And if ye lend to them
of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to
sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your
enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward
shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind
unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be ye therefore
merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37 Judge not, and ye shall
not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye
shall be forgiven: 38 Give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again. 39 And he spake a parable
unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the
ditch? 40 The disciple is not
above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41 And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in
thine own eye? 42 Either how canst thou
say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye,
when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43 For a good tree
bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. 44 For every tree is known
by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush
gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the
good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man
out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for
of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46 And why call ye me,
Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me,
and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which
built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when
the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not
shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth,
and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon
the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it
fell; and the ruin of that house was great. Luke 8
King
James Version
8 And it
came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village,
preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve
were with him, 2 And certain women,
which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene,
out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of
Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto
him of their substance. 4 And when much people
were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a
parable: 5 A sower went out to sow
his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden
down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell upon a
rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked
moisture. 7 And some fell among
thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other fell on good
ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said
these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked
him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And he said, Unto you
it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not
understand. 11 Now the parable is
this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side
are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are
they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no
root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell
among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked
with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to
perfection. 15 But that on the good
ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word,
keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 16 No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but
setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret,
that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be
known and come abroad. 18 Take heed therefore how
ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. 19 Then came to him his
mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 20 And it was told him by
certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to
see thee. 21 And he answered and
said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of
God, and do it. 22 Now it came to pass on
a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto
them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed he
fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were
filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked
the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them,
Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another,
What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and
they obey him. 26 And they arrived at the
country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he went forth
to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long
time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he
cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I
to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me
not. 29 (For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him:
and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and
was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 And Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were
entered into him. 31 And they besought him
that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there an
herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he
would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 33 Then went the devils
out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a
steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34 When they that fed them
saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the
country. 35 Then they went out to
see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right
mind: and they were afraid. 36 They also which saw it
told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 37 Then the whole
multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart
from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship,
and returned back again. 38 Now the man out of whom
the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus
sent him away, saying, 39 Return to thine own
house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his
way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done
unto him. 40 And it came to pass,
that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were
all waiting for him. 41 And, behold, there came
a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at
Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42 For he had one only
daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the
people thronged him. 43 And a woman having an
issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians,
neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him, and
touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood
stanched. 45 And Jesus said, Who
touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master,
the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said,
Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the woman saw
that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she
declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him,
and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her,
Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 49 While he yet spake,
there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy
daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard
it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made
whole. 51 And when he came into
the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and
the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and
bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to
scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all
out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 And her spirit came
again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 And her parents were
astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. Luke 9
King
James Version
9 Then
he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority
over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to
preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them,
Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread,
neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 4 And whatsoever house ye
enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And whosoever will not
receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your
feet for a testimony against them. 6 And they departed, and
went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch
heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was
said of some, that John was risen from the dead; 8 And of some, that Elias
had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, John
have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired
to see him. 10 And the apostles, when
they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and
went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called
Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when
they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the
kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 12 And when the day began
to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude
away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and
get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them,
Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two
fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 14 For they were about
five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by
fifties in a company. 15 And they did so, and
made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five
loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and
brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they did eat, and
were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them
twelve baskets. 18 And it came to pass, as
he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,
Whom say the people that I am? 19 They answering said,
John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old
prophets is risen again. 20 He said unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 21 And he straitly charged
them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22 Saying, The Son of man
must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 23 And he said to them
all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the
same shall save it. 25 For what is a man
advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be
ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when
he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a
truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they
see the kingdom of God. 28 And it came to pass
about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the
fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and
glistering. 30 And, behold, there
talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory,
and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that
were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his
glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass, as
they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to
be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. 34 While he thus spake,
there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered
into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 36 And when the voice was
past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those
days any of those things which they had seen. 37 And it came to pass,
that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met
him. 38 And, behold, a man of
the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for
he is mine only child. 39 And, lo, a spirit
taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth
again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. 40 And I besought thy
disciples to cast him out; and they could not. 41 And Jesus answering
said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and
suffer you? Bring thy son hither. 42 And as he was yet a
coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean
spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. 43 And they were all
amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all
things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 44 Let these sayings sink
down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of
men. 45 But they understood not
this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they
feared to ask him of that saying. 46 Then there arose a
reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving
the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48 And said unto them,
Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever
shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you
all, the same shall be great. 49 And John answered and
said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him,
because he followeth not with us. 50 And Jesus said unto
him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 51 And it came to pass,
when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his
face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers
before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans,
to make ready for him. 53 And they did not
receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples
James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to
come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is
not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another
village. 57 And it came to pass,
that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto
him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto
another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my
father. 60 Jesus said unto him,
Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said,
Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at
home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto
him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God. Luke 9

before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans,
to make ready for him. 53 And they did not
receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples
James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to
come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is
not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another
village. 57 And it came to pass,
that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto
him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto
another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my
father. 60 Jesus said unto him,
Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said,
Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at
home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto
him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God. Luke 11
King
James Version
11 And it
came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one
of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught
his disciples. 2 And he said unto them,
When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our
daily bread. 4 And forgive us our
sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not
into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them,
Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say
unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in
his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within
shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children
are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though
he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his
importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you,
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you. 10 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask
bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask
a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an
egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 14 And he was casting out
a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out,
the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting
him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their
thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also be
divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I
cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub
cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be
your judges. 20 But if I with the
finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when a stronger
than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his
armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me
is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and
finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he
findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and
taketh to him 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. 27 And it came to pass, as
he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice,
and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which
thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea
rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 29 And when the people
were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation:
they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas
the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign
unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn
them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineve shall
rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they
repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but
on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body
is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full
of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore
that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body
therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of
light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 37 And as he spake, a
certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down
to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee
saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto
him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter;
but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 40 Ye fools, did not he
that made that which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give alms of
such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 42 But woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over
judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave
the other undone. 43 Woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings
in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men
that walk over them are not aware of them. 45 Then answered one of
the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto
you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and
ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe unto you! for ye
build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly ye bear witness
that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye
build their sepulchres. 49 Therefore also said the
wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they
shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all
the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be
required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple:
verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you, lawyers!
for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves,
and them that were entering in ye hindered. 53 And as he said these
things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently,
and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 Laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. Luke 12
King
James Version
12 In the
mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of
people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his
disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is
hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye
have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have
spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my
friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no
more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you
whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast
into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows
sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than
many sparrows. 8 Also I say unto you,
Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess
before the angels of God: 9 But he that denieth me
before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 10 And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him
that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you
unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how
or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12 For the Holy Ghost
shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 13 And one of the company
said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance
with me. 14 And he said unto him,
Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them,
Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable
unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within
himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my
fruits? 18 And he said, This will
I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow
all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my
soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease,
eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him,
Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall
those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 22 And he said unto his
disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye
shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than
meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens:
for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and
God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with
taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able
to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how
they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe
the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven;
how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye
shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do
the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have
need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell that ye have, and
give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the
heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also. 35 Let your loins be
girded about, and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like
unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that
when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37 Blessed are those
servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto
you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will
come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in
the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are
those servants. 39 And this know, that if
the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would
have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye therefore ready
also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 41 Then Peter said unto
him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who
then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over
his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto
you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45 But and if that servant
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the
menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that
servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when
he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion
with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which
knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his
will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not,
and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom
men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. 49 I am come to send fire
on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to
be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Suppose ye that I am
come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth
there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against
three. 53 The father shall be
divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against
the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against
her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 54 And he said also to the
people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There
cometh a shower; and so it is. 55 And when ye see the
south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can
discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not
discern this time? 57 Yea, and why even of
yourselves judge ye not what is right? 58 When thou goest with
thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence
that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and
the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59 I tell thee, thou shalt
not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. Luke 13
King
James Version
13 There
were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood
Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering
said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the
Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon
whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners
above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 6 He spake also this
parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came
and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7 Then said he unto the
dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on
this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and
dung it: 9 And if it bear fruit,
well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. 10 And he was teaching in
one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11 And, behold, there was
a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed
together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her,
he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands
on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14 And the ruler of the
synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the
sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought
to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 15 The Lord then answered
him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose
his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16 And ought not this
woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen
years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 17 And when he had said
these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced
for all the glorious things that were done by him. 18 Then said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is like a grain of
mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and
waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. 20 And again he said,
Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven,
which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened. 22 And he went through the
cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then said one unto him,
Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at
the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able. 25 When once the master of
the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand
without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he
shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26 Then shall ye begin to
say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our
streets. 27 But he shall say, I
tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of
iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and
all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And they shall come
from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and
shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are
last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 31 The same day there came
certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence:
for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them,
Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day
and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33 Nevertheless I must
walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a
prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how
often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her
brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold, your house is
left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until
the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord. Luke 14
King
James Version
14 And it
came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat
bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. 2 And, behold, there was
a certain man before him which had the dropsy. 3 And Jesus answering
spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath day? 4 And they held their
peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; 5 And answered them,
saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will
not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? 6 And they could not
answer him again to these things. 7 And he put forth a
parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the
chief rooms; saying unto them. 8 When thou art bidden of
any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more
honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9 And he that bade thee
and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame
to take the lowest room. 10 But when thou art
bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee
cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have
worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11 For whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 12 Then said he also to
him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy
friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest
they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a
feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 And thou shalt be
blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at
the resurrection of the just. 15 And when one of them
that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he
that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 Then said he unto him,
A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at
supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now
ready. 18 And they all with one
consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece
of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I
have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me
excused. 20 And another said, I
have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 So that servant came,
and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry
said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city,
and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22 And the servant said,
Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto
the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in,
that my house may be filled. 24 For I say unto you,
That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 25 And there went great
multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man come to me,
and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren,
and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not
bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you,
intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost,
whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he
hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it
begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began
to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, going to
make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether
he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty
thousand? 32 Or else, while the
other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth
conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whosoever
he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt is good: but if
the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for
the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear. Luke 15
King
James Version
15 Then
drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and
scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3 And he spake this
parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having
an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine
in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found
it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh
home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that
likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than
over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8 Either what woman
having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle,
and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found
it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with
me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto
you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth. 11 And he said, A certain
man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them
said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.
And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after
the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far
country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent
all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined
himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed
swine. 16 And he would fain have
filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto
him. 17 And when he came to
himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough
and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to
my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and
before thee, 19 And am no more worthy
to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came
to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and
had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more
worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to
his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on
his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the
fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was
dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be
merry. 25 Now his elder son was
in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and
dancing. 26 And he called one of
the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him,
Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he
hath received him safe and sound. 28 And he was angry, and
would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29 And he answering said
to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I
at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might
make merry with my friends: 30 But as soon as this thy
son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed
for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him,
Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It was meet that we
should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive
again; and was lost, and is found. Luke 16
King
James Version
16 And he
said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a
steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2 And he called him, and
said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy
stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 3 Then the steward said
within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the
stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved what to
do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into
their houses. 5 So he called every one
of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou
unto my lord? 6 And he said, An hundred
measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly,
and write fifty. 7 Then said he to
another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat.
And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. 8 And the lord commended
the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this
world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 9 And I say unto you,
Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye
fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the
least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have
not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust
the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been
faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is
your own? 13 No servant 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. 14 And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them,
Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of
God. 16 The law and the
prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and
every man presseth into it. 17 And it is easier for
heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 18 Whosoever putteth away
his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. 19 There was a certain
rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously
every day: 20 And there was a certain
beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed
with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came
and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass,
that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the
rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up
his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his
bosom. 24 And he cried and said,
Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip
of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this,
between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass
from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from
thence. 27 Then he said, I pray
thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five
brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place
of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him,
They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay,
father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead. Luke 17
King
James Version
17 Then
said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but
woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him
that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than
that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to
yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he
repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass
against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to
thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 5 And the apostles said
unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said, If
ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine
tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it
should obey you. 7 But which of you,
having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when
he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 8 And will not rather say
unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me,
till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 9 Doth he thank that
servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 10 So likewise ye, when ye
shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are
unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 11 And it came to pass, as
he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into
a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar
off: 13 And they lifted up
their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them,
he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass,
that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when
he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his
face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering
said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found
that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him,
Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 20 And when he was
demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered
them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say,
Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 22 And he said unto the
disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of
the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23 And they shall say to
you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24 For as the lightning,
that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part
under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25 But first must he
suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 26 And as it was in the
days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they
drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that
Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was
in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that
Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all. 30 Even thus shall it be
in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which
shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down
to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return
back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to
save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve
it. 34 I tell you, in that
night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the
other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be
grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two men shall be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37 And they answered and
said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is,
thither will the eagles be gathered together. Luke 18
King
James Version
18 And he
spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not
to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a
city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow
in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a
while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor
regard man; 5 Yet because this widow
troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear
what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God
avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long
with them? 8 I tell you that he will
avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find
faith on the earth? 9 And he spake this
parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others: 10 Two men went up into
the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican,
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man
went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted. 15 And they brought unto
him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it,
they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them
unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them
not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no
wise enter therein. 18 And a certain ruler
asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto
him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 20 Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21 And he said, All these
have I kept from my youth up. 22 Now when Jesus heard
these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that
thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this,
he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24 And when Jesus saw that
he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a
camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God. 26 And they that heard it
said, Who then can be saved? 27 And he said, The things
which are impossible with men are possible with God. 28 Then Peter said, Lo, we
have left all, and followed thee. 29 And he said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or
brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, 30 Who shall not receive
manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 31 Then he took unto him
the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things
that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be
accomplished. 32 For he shall be
delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated,
and spitted on: 33 And they shall scourge
him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood
none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they
the things which were spoken. 35 And it came to pass,
that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way
side begging: 36 And hearing the
multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying,
Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they which went
before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the
more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and
commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou
that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto
him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43 And immediately he
received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people,
when they saw it, gave praise unto God. Luke 19
King
James Version
19 And
Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was
a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was
rich. 3 And he sought to see
Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of
stature. 4 And he ran before, and
climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to
the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make
haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and
came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it,
they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a
sinner. 8 And Zacchaeus stood,
and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the
poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I
restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto
him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son
of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these
things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and
because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A
certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom,
and to return. 13 And he called his ten
servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I
come. 14 But his citizens hated
him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign
over us. 15 And it came to pass,
that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded
these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he
might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first,
saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him,
Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little,
have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came,
saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to
him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came,
saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a
napkin: 21 For I feared thee,
because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down,
and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him,
Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest
that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I
did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest
not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine
own with usury? 24 And he said unto them
that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten
pounds. 25 (And they said unto
him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you,
That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not,
even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies,
which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them
before me. 28 And when he had thus
spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass,
when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount
of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the
village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt
tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you,
Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need
of him. 32 And they that were sent
went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were
loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord
hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to
Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they
spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come
nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of
the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the
mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the
King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest. 39 And some of the
Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy
disciples. 40 And he answered and
said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones
would immediately cry out. 41 And when he was come
near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst
known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy
peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come
upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass
thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even
with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in
thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation. 45 And he went into the
temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is
written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of
thieves. 47 And he taught daily in
the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people
sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what
they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. Luke 20
King
James Version
20 And it
came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the
temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon
him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him,
saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that
gave thee this authority? 3 And he answered and
said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John,
was it from heaven, or of men? 5 And they reasoned with
themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then
believed ye him not? 6 But and if we say, Of
men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a
prophet. 7 And they answered, that
they could not tell whence it was. 8 And Jesus said unto
them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 9 Then began he to speak
to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it
forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. 10 And at the season he
sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of
the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 11 And again he sent
another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and
sent him away empty. 12 And again he sent a
third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 13 Then said the lord of
the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they
will reverence him when they see him. 14 But when the husbandmen
saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let
us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15 So they cast him out of
the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard
do unto them? 16 He shall come and
destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when
they heard it, they said, God forbid. 17 And he beheld them, and
said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? 18 Whosoever shall fall
upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder. 19 And the chief priests
and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the
people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. 20 And they watched him,
and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might
take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and
authority of the governor. 21 And they asked him,
saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither
acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: 22 Is it lawful for us to
give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23 But he perceived their
craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 24 Shew me a penny. Whose
image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 25 And he said unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the
things which be God's. 26 And they could not take
hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and
held their peace. 27 Then came to him
certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they
asked him, 28 Saying, Master, Moses
wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without
children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother. 29 There were therefore
seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her
to wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her;
and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman
died also. 33 Therefore in the
resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 34 And Jesus answering
said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be
accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead,
neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die
any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God,
being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are
raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of
the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 39 Then certain of the
scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 40 And after that they
durst not ask him any question at all. 41 And he said unto them,
How say they that Christ is David's son? 42 And David himself saith
in the book of Psalms, The Lord said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thine
enemies thy footstool. 44 David therefore calleth
him Lord, how is he then his son? 45 Then in the audience of
all the people he said unto his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes,
which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and
the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows'
houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater
damnation. Luke 21
King
James Version
21 And he
looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a
certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said, Of a truth
I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4 For all these have of
their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath
cast in all the living that she had. 5 And as some spake of
the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things
which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one
stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him,
saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be
when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed
that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear
of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to
pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them,
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes
shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights
and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12 But before all these,
they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to
the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for
my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to
you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in
your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a
mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor
resist. 16 And ye shall be
betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some
of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated
of all men for my name's sake. 18 But there shall not an
hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience
possess ye your souls. 20 And when ye shall see
Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is
nigh. 21 Then let them which are
in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it
depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days
of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that
are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be
great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by
the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the
Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be
signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see
the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your
redemption draweth nigh. 29 And he spake to them a
parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot
forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye
see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at
hand. 32 Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to
yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and
pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that
shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 37 And in the day time he
was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount
that is called the mount of Olives. 38 And all the people came
early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. Luke 22
King
James Version
22 Now
the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests
and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 3 Then entered Satan into
Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way,
and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him
unto them. 5 And they were glad, and
covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and
sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 7 Then came the day of
unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and
John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them,
Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you,
bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto
the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the
guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a
large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and
found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was
come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them,
With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I
will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup,
and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I
will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and
gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which
is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup
after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is
shed for you. 21 But, behold, the hand
of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of
man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 23 And they began to
enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 24 And there was also a
strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them,
The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise
authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so:
but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is
chief, as he that doth serve. 27 For whether is greater,
he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat?
but I am among you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they which have
continued with me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you
a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30 That ye may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes
of Israel. 31 And the Lord said,
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as
wheat: 32 But I have prayed for
thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy
brethren. 33 And he said unto him,
Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34 And he said, I tell
thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice
deny that thou knowest me. 35 And he said unto them,
When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And
they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them,
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you,
that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned
among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord,
behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 39 And he came out, and
went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed
him. 40 And when he was at the
place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn
from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou
be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be
done. 43 And there appeared an
angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony
he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood
falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up
from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why
sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47 And while he yet spake,
behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went
before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto
him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were
about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite
with the sword? 50 And one of them smote
the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and
said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said unto
the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were
come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with
you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your
hour, and the power of darkness. 54 Then took they him, and
led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed
afar off. 55 And when they had
kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter
sat down among them. 56 But a certain maid
beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said,
This man was also with him. 57 And he denied him,
saying, Woman, I know him not. 58 And after a little
while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man,
I am not. 59 And about the space of
one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow
also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60 And Peter said, Man, I
know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61 And the Lord turned,
and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had
said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 62 And Peter went out, and
wept bitterly. 63 And the men that held
Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64 And when they had
blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying,
Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65 And many other things
blasphemously spake they against him. 66 And as soon as it was
day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came
together, and led him into their council, saying, 67 Art thou the Christ?
tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68 And if I also ask you,
ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69 Hereafter shall the Son
of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 70 Then said they all, Art
thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71 And they said, What
need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. Luke 23
King
James Version
23 And
the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 2 And they began to
accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and
forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3 And Pilate asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou
sayest it. 4 Then said Pilate to the
chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5 And they were the more
fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry,
beginning from Galilee to this place. 6 When Pilate heard of
Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 7 And as soon as he knew
that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself
also was at Jerusalem at that time. 8 And when Herod saw
Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long
season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen
some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned with
him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests
and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 11 And Herod with his men
of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe,
and sent him again to Pilate. 12 And the same day Pilate
and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between
themselves. 13 And Pilate, when he had
called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have
brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I,
having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching
those things whereof ye accuse him: 15 No, nor yet Herod: for
I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 16 I will therefore
chastise him, and release him. 17 (For of necessity he
must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all
at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 (Who for a certain
sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore,
willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 21 But they cried, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them
the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death
in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. 23 And they were instant
with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of
them and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave
sentence that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto
them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had
desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 26 And as they led him
away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country,
and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. 27 And there followed him
a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning unto
them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves,
and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days
are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the
wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin
to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these
things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32 And there were also two
other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come
to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Jesus,
Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his
raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood
beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved
others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also
mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be
the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription
also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. 39 And one of the
malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save
thyself and us. 40 But the other answering
rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same
condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly;
for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing
amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus,
Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto
him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the
sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was
darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had
cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:
and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion
saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous
man. 48 And all the people that
came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote
their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his
acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off,
beholding these things. 50 And, behold, there was
a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 51 (The same had not
consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of
the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went unto
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down,
and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone,
wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the
preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also,
which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre,
and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and
prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the
commandment. Luke 24
King
James Version
24 Now
upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the
sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others
with them. 2 And they found the
stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in,
and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as
they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining
garments: 5 And as they were
afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why
seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is
risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man
must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the
third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his
words, 9 And returned from the
sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene
and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with
them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11 And their words seemed
to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 12 Then arose Peter, and
ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid
by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to
pass. 13 And, behold, two of
them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem
about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked
together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass,
that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and
went with them. 16 But their eyes were
holden that they should not know him. 17 And he said unto them,
What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye
walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them,
whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in
Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in
these days? 19 And he said unto them,
What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was
a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief
priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have
crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it
had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is
the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women
also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 And when they found not
his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them
which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women
had said: but him they saw not. 25 Then he said unto them,
O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to
have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses
and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things
concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto
the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone
further. 29 But they constrained
him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far
spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as
he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave
to them. 31 And their eyes were
opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to
another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the
way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the
same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together,
and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is
risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what
things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of
bread. 36 And as they thus spake,
Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto
you. 37 But they were terrified
and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them,
Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my
feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus
spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet
believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a
piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did
eat before them. 44 And he said unto them,
These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that
all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in
the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them,
Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from
the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses of
these things. 49 And, behold, I send the
promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until
ye be endued with power from on high. 50 And he led them out as
far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass,
while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped
him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were continually in
the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. |
