New Testament Matthew Matthew 1
King
James Version
1 The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac;
and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares
and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat
Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz
of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David
the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of
Urias; 7 And Solomon begat
Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 And Asa begat Josaphat;
and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9 And Ozias begat
Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And Ezekias begat
Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias begat
Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 12 And after they were
brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel begat
Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14 And Azor begat Sadoc;
and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15 And Eliud begat
Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16 And Jacob begat Joseph
the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations
from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the
carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying
away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. 18 Now the birth of Jesus
Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her
husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was
minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him
in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring
forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his
people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall
be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being
raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto
him his wife: 25 And knew her not till
she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. Matthew 2
King
James Version
2 Now
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he
that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are
come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had
heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had
gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him,
In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in
the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of
thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star
appeared. 8 And he sent them to
Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when
ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the
king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come
into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down,
and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God
in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own
country another way. 13 And when they were
departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream,
saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt,
and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took
the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the
death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw
that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and
slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof,
from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired
of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18 In Rama was there a
voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for
her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was
dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 Saying, Arise, and take
the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are
dead which sought the young child's life. 21 And he arose, and took
the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that
Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid
to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee: 23 And he came and dwelt
in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Matthew 3
King
James Version
3 In
those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was
spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had
his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his
meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him
Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of
him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of
the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore
fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say
within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is
laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you
with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his
hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the
garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 13 Then cometh Jesus from
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him,
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering
said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was
baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were
opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and
lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 4
King
James Version
4 Then
was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted
forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter
came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread. 4 But he answered and
said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh
him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If
thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give
his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee
up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It
is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh
him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of
the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All
these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto
him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth
him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. 12 Now when Jesus had
heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth,
he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders
of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon,
and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of
the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in
darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of
death light is sprung up. 17 From that time Jesus
began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 18 And Jesus, walking by
the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his
brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them,
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway
left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from
thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he
called them. 22 And they immediately
left the ship and their father, and followed him. 23 And Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among
the people. 24 And his fame went
throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were
taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he
healed them. 25 And there followed him
great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from
Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. Matthew 5
King
James Version
5 And
seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his
disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his
mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in
spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that
mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the
merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in
heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the
peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which
are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when
men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they
the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the
earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it
is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven. 17 Think not that I am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto
you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you,
That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it
was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill
shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you,
That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger
of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger
of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring
thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought
against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift
before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and
then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine
adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the
adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the
officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee,
Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost
farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it
was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery
with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye
offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand
offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee
that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
cast into hell. 31 It hath been said,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you,
That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication,
causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is
divorced committeth adultery. 33 Again, ye have heard
that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you,
Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for
it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great
King. 36 Neither shalt thou
swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your
communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil. 38 Ye have heard that it
hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you,
That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek,
turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 41 And whosoever shall
compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh
thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it
hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you,
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the
children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on
the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them
which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your
brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 6
King
James Version
6 Take
heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye
have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou
doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I
say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be
in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee
openly. 5 And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in
the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of
men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou
prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy
Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward
thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use
not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be
heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore
like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before
ye ask him. 9 After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our
daily bread. 12 And forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men
their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not
men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16 Moreover when ye fast,
be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their
faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward. 17 But thou, when thou
fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18 That thou appear not
unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father,
which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. 19 Lay not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body
is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of
light. 23 But if thine eye be
evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that
is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than
meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the
air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought
for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so
clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into
the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal
shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these
things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have
need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added
unto you. 34 Take therefore no
thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of
itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 7
King
James Version
7 Judge
not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment
ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is
in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to
thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam
is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first
cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to
cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6 Give not that which is
holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they
trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7 Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of
you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your
Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for
this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it. 15 Beware of false
prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their
fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise
man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it
fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a
foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it
fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his
doctrine: 29 For he taught them as
one having authority, and not as the scribes. Matthew 8
King
James Version
8 When
he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there came
a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me
clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto
him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and
offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 5 And when Jesus was
entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying, Lord, my
servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And Jesus saith unto
him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered
and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but
speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I am a man under
authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth;
and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
it. 10 When Jesus heard it, he
marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not
found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you,
That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the
kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. 13 And Jesus said unto the
centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.
And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 14 And when Jesus was come
into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her
hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16 When the even was come,
they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out
the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our
infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 18 Now when Jesus saw
great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19 And a certain scribe
came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto
him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son
of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of his
disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto
him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 23 And when he was entered
into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, there
arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the
waves: but he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came
to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26 And he saith unto them,
Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled,
saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 28 And when he was come to
the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two
possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no
man might pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried
out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou
come hither to torment us before the time? 30 And there was a good
way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the devils besought
him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto them,
Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and,
behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the
sea, and perished in the waters. 33 And they that kept them
fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was
befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34 And, behold, the whole
city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he
would depart out of their coasts. Matthew 9
King
James Version
9 And he
entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they
brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing
their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins
be forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of
the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their
thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For whether is easier,
to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know
that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to
the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7 And he arose, and
departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes
saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto
men. 9 And as Jesus passed
forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of
custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 10 And it came to pass, as
Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and
sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees
saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans
and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard
that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they
that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn
what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 14 Then came to him the
disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy
disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto
them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom
is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from
them, and then shall they fast. 16 No man putteth a piece
of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up
taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new
wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and
the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved. 18 While he spake these
things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him,
saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and
she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose, and
followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And, behold, a woman,
which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and
touched the hem of his garment: 21 For she said within
herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him
about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith
hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came
into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24 He said unto them, Give
place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the people
were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26 And the fame hereof
went abroad into all that land. 27 And when Jesus departed
thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David,
have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come
into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe
ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their
eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30 And their eyes were
opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they
were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. 32 As they went out,
behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33 And when the devil was
cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never
so seen in Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said,
He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 35 And Jesus went about
all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the
people. 36 But when he saw the
multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and
were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his
disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 10
King
James Version
10 And
when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the
twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew
his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and
Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and
Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Canaanite,
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent
forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and
into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the
lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse
the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give. 9 Provide neither gold,
nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your
journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is
worthy of his meat. 11 And into whatsoever
city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide
till ye go thence. 12 And when ye come into
an house, salute it. 13 And if the house be
worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace
return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city,
shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you,
It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for
they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their
synagogues; 18 And ye shall be brought
before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the
Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver
you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you
in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that
speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21 And the brother shall
deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children
shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated
of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute
you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall
not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24 The disciple is not
above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the
disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have
called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them
of his household? 26 Fear them not
therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid,
that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in
darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye
upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which
kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which
is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows
sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without
your Father. 30 But the very hairs of
your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore,
ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore
shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which
is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall
deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34 Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a
man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall
be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father
or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not
his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his
life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that receiveth you
receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41 He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he
that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward. 42 And whosoever shall
give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his
reward. Matthew 11
King
James Version
11 And it
came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples,
he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 2 Now when John had heard
in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3 And said unto him, Art
thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus answered and said
unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The blind receive their
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the
dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me. 7 And as they departed,
Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went ye out
for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft
clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But what went ye out
for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom
it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you,
Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John
the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he. 12 And from the days of
John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets
and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive
it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear. 16 But whereunto shall I
liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and
calling unto their fellows, 17 And saying, We have
piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have
not lamented. 18 For John came neither
eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came
eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber,
a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. 20 Then began he to
upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they
repented not: 21 Woe unto thee,
Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done
in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It
shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for
you. 23 And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the
mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would
have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you,
That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment,
than for thee. 25 At that time Jesus
answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them
unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so
it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are
delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the
Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light. Matthew 12
King
James Version
12 At
that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples
were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees
saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful
to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he said unto them,
Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were
with him; 4 How he entered into the
house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in
the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the
sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you,
That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known
what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have
condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of man is
Lord even of the sabbath day. 9 And when he was
departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was
a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful
to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. 11 And he said unto them,
What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall
into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12 How much then is a man
better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 13 Then saith he to the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored
whole, like as the other. 14 Then the Pharisees went
out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 15 But when Jesus knew it,
he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he
healed them all; 16 And charged them that
they should not make him known: 17 That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 18 Behold my servant, whom
I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my
spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He shall not strive,
nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he
not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment
unto victory. 21 And in his name shall
the Gentiles trust. 22 Then was brought unto
him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch
that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And all the people were
amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees
heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub
the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knew their
thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought
to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out
Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub
cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall
be your judges. 28 But if I cast out
devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one
enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind
the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me
is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31 Wherefore I say unto
you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh
a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever
speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in
this world, neither in the world to come. 33 Either make the tree
good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit
corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the
good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of
the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you,
That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in
the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou
shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38 Then certain of the
scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign
from thee. 39 But he answered and
said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three
days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three
days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh
shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because
they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is
here. 42 The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for
she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 43 When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and
findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will
return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth
it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and
taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they
enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the
first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. 46 While he yet talked to
the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to
speak with him. 47 Then one said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with
thee. 48 But he answered and
said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth
his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do
the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister,
and mother. Matthew 13
King
James Version
13 The
same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And great multitudes
were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and
the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 And he spake many
things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some
seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony
places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because
they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was
up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among
thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into
good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold,
some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear. 10 And the disciples came,
and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said
unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to
him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to
them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand. 14 And in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart
is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have
closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their
ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I
should heal them. 16 But blessed are your
eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto
you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things
which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear,
and have not heard them. 18 Hear ye therefore the
parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth
the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked
one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which
received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received
the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon
with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in
himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth
because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received
seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this
world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh
unfruitful. 23 But he that received
seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some
sixty, some thirty. 24 Another parable put he
forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was
sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the
householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy
field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An
enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go
and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest
while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together
until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,
Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them:
but gather the wheat into my barn. 31 Another parable put he
forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard
seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32 Which indeed is the
least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and
becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches
thereof. 33 Another parable spake
he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took,
and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 34 All these things spake
Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto
them: 35 That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in
parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation
of the world. 36 Then Jesus sent the
multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him,
saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said
unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world;
the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children
of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed
them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are
the angels. 40 As therefore the tares
are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall
send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things
that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them
into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the
righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath
ears to hear, let him hear. 44 Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found,
he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found
one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 47 Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every
kind: 48 Which, when it was
full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels,
but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the
end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from
among the just, 50 And shall cast them
into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51 Jesus saith unto them,
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52 Then said he unto them,
Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
things new and old. 53 And it came to pass,
that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 54 And when he was come
into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they
were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty
works? 55 Is not this the
carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and
Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are
they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 57 And they were offended
in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in
his own country, and in his own house. 58 And he did not many
mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 14
King
James Version
14 At
that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his
servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore
mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold
on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother
Philip's wife. 4 For John said unto him,
It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have
put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a
prophet. 6 But when Herod's
birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased
Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised
with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before
instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry:
nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he
commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and
beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was
brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her
mother. 12 And his disciples came,
and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 13 When Jesus heard of it,
he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had
heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And Jesus went forth,
and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he
healed their sick. 15 And when it was
evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the
time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the
villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said unto
them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him,
We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them
hither to me. 19 And he commanded the
multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two
fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves
to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat,
and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve
baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten
were about five thousand men, beside women and children. 22 And straightway Jesus
constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the
other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent
the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the
evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in
the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch
of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples
saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and
they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus
spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him
and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And
when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to
Jesus. 30 But when he saw the
wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying,
Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus
stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come
into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in
the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34 And when they were gone
over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of
that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round
about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 And besought him that
they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were
made perfectly whole. Matthew 15
King
James Version
15 Then
came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples
transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when
they eat bread. 3 But he answered and
said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your
tradition? 4 For God commanded,
saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother,
let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever
shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou
mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his
father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of
God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did
Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth
nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their
heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10 And he called the
multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this
defileth a man. 12 Then came his
disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended,
after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and
said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted
up. 14 Let them alone: they be
blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall
into the ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and
said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, Are ye
also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet
understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly,
and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which
proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart
proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false
witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things
which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 21 Then Jesus went thence,
and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of
Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on
me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not
a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for
she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and
said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and
said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth,
Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 29 And Jesus departed from
thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain,
and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes
came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed,
and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the
multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole,
the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 Then Jesus called his
disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because
they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not
send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say
unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill
so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto
them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the
multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And he took the seven
loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they did all eat,
and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven
baskets full. 38 And they that did eat
were four thousand men, beside women and children. 39 And he sent away the
multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala. Matthew 16
King
James Version
16 The
Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he
would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said
unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky
is red. 3 And in the morning, It
will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the
signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous
generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. 5 And when his disciples
were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto
them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus
perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among
yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet
understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how
many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven
loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do
not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they
how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into
the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men
say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say
that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of
the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter
answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and
said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto
thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto
thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his
disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time forth
began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem,
and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him,
and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be
unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said
unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto
his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall
find it. 26 For what is a man
profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man
shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall
reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you,
There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see
the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 17
King
James Version
17 And
after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth
them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured
before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as
the light. 3 And, behold, there
appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter,
and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us
make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
Elias. 5 While he yet spake,
behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the
cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye
him. 6 And when the disciples
heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had
lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down
from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man,
until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked
him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you,
That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples
understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 14 And when they were come
to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and
saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my
son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the
fire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to
thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered and
said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how
long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked the
devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very
hour. 19 Then came the disciples
to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto
them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth
not out but by prayer and fasting. 22 And while they abode in
Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the
hands of men: 23 And they shall kill
him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding
sorry. 24 And when they were come
to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth
not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when
he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou,
Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him,
Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, lest
we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the
fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt
find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. Matthew 18
King
James Version
18 At the
same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a
little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say
unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not
enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the
kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive
one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend
one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth
of the sea. 7 Woe unto the world
because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that
man by whom the offence cometh! 8 Wherefore if thy hand
or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better
for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or
two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter
into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 Take heed that ye
despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven
their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 For the Son of man is
come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man
have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
astray? 13 And if so be that he
find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the
ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the
will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish. 15 Moreover if thy brother
shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him
alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear
thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect
to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye
shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you,
That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three
are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 21 Then came Peter to him,
and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I
say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the
kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of
his servants. 24 And when he had begun
to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had
not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children,
and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore
fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I
will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that
servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant
went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred
pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me
that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant
fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I
will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but
went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his
fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told
unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after
that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee
all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 Shouldest not thou also
have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth,
and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto
him. 35 So likewise shall my
heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every
one his brother their trespasses. Matthew 19
King
James Version
19 And it
came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from
Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; 2 And great multitudes
followed him; and he healed them there. 3 The Pharisees also came
unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put
away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and
said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning
made them male and female, 5 And said, For this
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and
they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no
more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not
man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why
did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them,
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your
wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery. 10 His disciples say unto
him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them,
All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some
eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some
eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have
made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to
receive it, let him receive it. 13 Then were there brought
unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and
the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Suffer
little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands
on them, and departed thence. 16 And, behold, one came
and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have
eternal life? 17 And he said unto him,
Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if
thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him,
Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and
thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith
unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If
thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man
heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto
his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into
the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto
you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a
rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples
heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them,
and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are
possible. 27 Then answered Peter and
said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we
have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the
regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye
also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath
forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life. 30 But many that are first
shall be last; and the last shall be first. Matthew 20
King
James Version
20 For
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went
out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed
with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about
the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go
ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they
went their way. 5 Again he went out about
the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh
hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why
stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him,
Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the
vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come,
the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give
them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that
were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first
came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise
received every man a penny. 11 And when they had
received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have
wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne
the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of
them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for
a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and
go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me
to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be
first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. 17 And Jesus going up to
Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and
unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 And shall deliver him
to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third
day he shall rise again. 20 Then came to him the
mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a
certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her,
What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the
one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and
said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall
drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They
say unto him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them,
Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 24 And when the ten heard
it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them
unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise
dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so
among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be
chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many. 29 And as they departed
from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 And, behold, two blind
men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out,
saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. 31 And the multitude
rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more,
saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still,
and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 33 They say unto him,
Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 So Jesus had compassion
on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight,
and they followed him. Matthew 21
King
James Version
21 And
when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the
mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go
into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied,
and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say
ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he
will send them. 4 All this was done, that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of
Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a
colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went,
and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ass,
and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great
multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the
trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that
went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David:
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come
into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitude said,
This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Jesus went into the
temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and
overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves, 13 And said unto them, It
is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it
a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the
lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief
priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children
crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore
displeased, 16 And said unto him,
Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never
read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and
went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 18 Now in the morning as
he returned into the city, he hungered. 19 And when he saw a fig
tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only,
and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And
presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples
saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said
unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall
not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto
this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things,
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 23 And when he was come
into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him
as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and
who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like
wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John,
whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not
then believe him? 26 But if we shall say, Of
men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered
Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by
what authority I do these things. 28 But what think ye? A
certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to
day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I
will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the
second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain
did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you
in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and
the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not
afterward, that ye might believe him. 33 Hear another parable:
There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it
round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out
to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of
the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might
receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took
his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other
servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent
unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen
saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill
him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him,
and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore
of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He
will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto
other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them,
Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it
is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto
you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall
fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief
priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of
them. 46 But when they sought to
lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a
prophet. Matthew 22
King
James Version
22 And
Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven
is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his
servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not
come. 4 Again, he sent forth
other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared
my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come
unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of
it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took
his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard
thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his
servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into
the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went
out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both
bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came
in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him,
Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless. 13 Then said the king to
the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into
outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called,
but few are chosen. 15 Then went the
Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto
him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art
true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man:
for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What
thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived
their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute
money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them,
Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him,
Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 When they had heard
these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 23 The same day came to
him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses
said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and
raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us
seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and,
having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second
also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the
woman died also. 28 Therefore in the
resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said
unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection
they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God
in heaven. 31 But as touching the
resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by
God, saying, 32 I am the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of
the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude
heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 34 But when the Pharisees
had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered
together. 35 Then one of them, which
was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the
great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and
great commandment. 39 And the second is like
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41 While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye
of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How
then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said unto my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him
Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to
answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more
questions. Matthew 23
King
James Version
23 Then
spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying The scribes and
the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore
whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after
their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they
themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works
they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and
enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost
rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the
markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called
Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your
father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called
masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest
among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall
exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted. 13 But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are
entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence
make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte,
and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind
guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but
whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for
whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall
swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is
upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for
whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso therefore shall
swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear
by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that shall swear
by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and
have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which
strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of
the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee,
cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of
them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and
of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also
outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and
iniquity. 29 Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and
garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been
in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the
blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be
witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the
prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the
measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34 Wherefore, behold, I
send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall
kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and
persecute them from city to city: 35 That upon you may come
all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you,
All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,
how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is
left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye
shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord. Matthew 24
King
James Version
24 And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him
for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto
them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be
left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the
mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the
end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of
wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things
must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the
beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver
you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets
shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall
see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be
in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which
is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that
are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall
say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you
before. 26 Wherefore if they shall
say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning
cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the
carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his
angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 32 Now learn a parable of
the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye
know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye
shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and
hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah
were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that
were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the
flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be. 40 Then shall two be in
the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be
grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye
know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if
the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he
would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also
ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful
and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give
them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you,
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil
servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to
smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that
servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that
he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him
asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25
King
James Version
25 Then
shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their
lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were
wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish
took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil
in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there
was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins
arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said
unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered,
saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to
them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to
buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the
marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the
other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and
said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye
know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 14 For the kingdom of
heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own
servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave
five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to
his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had
received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other
five talents. 17 And likewise he that
had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had
received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 After a long time the
lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had
received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five
talents more. 21 His lord said unto him,
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord. 22 He also that had
received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two
talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him,
Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord. 24 Then he which had
received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an
hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not
strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and
went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and
said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap
where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore
to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have
received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the
talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that
hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the
unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth. 31 When the Son of man
shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit
upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be
gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred,
and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger,
and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed
me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the
righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed
thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee
sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall
answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred,
and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and
ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not. 44 Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer
them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the
least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matthew 26
King
James Version
26 And it
came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his
disciples, 2 Ye know that after two
days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified. 3 Then assembled together
the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the
palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 And consulted that they
might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 5 But they said, Not on
the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. 6 Now when Jesus was in
Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came unto him a
woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his
head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples
saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might
have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood
it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good
work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor
always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath
poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall
also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. 14 Then one of the twelve,
called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them,
What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted
with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he
sought opportunity to betray him. 17 Now the first day of
the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18 And he said, Go into
the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at
hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19 And the disciples did
as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 20 Now when the even was
come, he sat down with the twelve. 21 And as they did eat, he
said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 And they were exceeding
sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 23 And he answered and
said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 The Son of man goeth as
it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is
betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 25 Then Judas, which
betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast
said. 26 And as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup,
and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of
the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I
will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I
drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 30 And when they had sung
an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 31 Then saith Jesus unto
them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I
will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32 But after I am risen
again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33 Peter answered and said
unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never
be offended. 34 Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice. 35 Peter said unto him,
Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said
all the disciples. 36 Then cometh Jesus with
them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye
here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto
them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and
watch with me. 39 And he went a little
farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the
disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye
enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak. 42 He went away again the
second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away
from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found
them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them, and
went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then cometh he to his
disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the
hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going:
behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 47 And while he yet spake,
lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with
swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he that betrayed
him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold
him fast. 49 And forthwith he came
to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said unto
him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus
and took him. 51 And, behold, one of
them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and
struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52 Then said Jesus unto
him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword
shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I
cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve
legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the
scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 55 In that same hour said
Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and
staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye
laid no hold on me. 56 But all this was done,
that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the
disciples forsook him, and fled. 57 And they that had laid
hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and
the elders were assembled. 58 But Peter followed him
afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the
servants, to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests,
and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put
him to death; 60 But found none: yea,
though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two
false witnesses, 61 And said, This fellow
said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62 And the high priest
arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee? 63 But Jesus held his
peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the
living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him,
Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son
of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest
rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we
of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They
answered and said, He is guilty of death. 67 Then did they spit in
his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their
hands, 68 Saying, Prophesy unto
us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 69 Now Peter sat without
in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus
of Galilee. 70 But he denied before
them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71 And when he was gone
out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there,
This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72 And again he denied
with an oath, I do not know the man. 73 And after a while came
unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of
them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 74 Then began he to curse
and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 75 And Peter remembered
the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny
me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. Matthew 27
King
James Version
27 When
the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took
counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound
him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3 Then Judas, which had
betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and
brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned
in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to
us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the
pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests
took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the
treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel,
and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field
was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children
of Israel did value; 10 And gave them for the
potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. 11 And Jesus stood before
the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused
of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then said Pilate unto
him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he answered him to
never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15 Now at that feast the
governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a
notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 Therefore when they
were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release
unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for
envy they had delivered him. 19 When he was set down on
the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do
with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream
because of him. 20 But the chief priests
and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy
Jesus. 21 The governor answered
and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you?
They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them,
What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto
him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said,
Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified. 24 When Pilate saw that he
could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and
washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of
this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the
people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he
Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be
crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of
the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole
band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him,
and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And when they had
platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right
hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King
of the Jews! 30 And they spit upon him,
and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31 And after that they had
mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him,
and led him away to crucify him. 32 And as they came out,
they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his
cross. 33 And when they were come
unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34 They gave him vinegar
to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not
drink. 35 And they crucified him,
and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my
vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they
watched him there; 37 And set up over his
head his accusation written, This
Is Jesus The King Of The Jews. 38 Then were there two
thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39 And they that passed by
reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying, Thou that
destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou
be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief
priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others;
himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down
from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let
him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which
were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour
there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth
hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that
is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood
there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48 And straightway one of
them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be,
let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 Jesus, when he had
cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil
of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were
opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the
graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many. 54 Now when the centurion,
and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of
God. 55 And many women were
there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto
him: 56 Among which was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees
children. 57 When the even was come,
there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was
Jesus' disciple: 58 He went to Pilate, and
begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had
taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own
new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to
the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61 And there was Mary
Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 62 Now the next day, that
followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came
together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we
remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I
will rise again. 64 Command therefore that
the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by
night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the
dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them,
Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made
the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. Matthew 28
King
James Version
28 In the
end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was
a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came
and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was
like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the
keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered
and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which
was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he
is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and
tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth
before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed
quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his
disciples word. 9 And as they went to
tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came
and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto
them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there
shall they see me. 11 Now when they were
going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the
chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were
assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto
the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His
disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the
governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money,
and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the
Jews until this day. 16 Then the eleven
disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed
them. 17 And when they saw him,
they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and
spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. |
