- 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came on him with the elders,
- 20:2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you these things? or who is he that gave you this authority?
- 20:3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
- 20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
- 20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed you him not?
- 20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
- 20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell from where it was.
- 20:8 And Jesus said to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
- 20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to farmers, and went into a far country for a long time.
- 20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.
- 20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
- 20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
- 20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
- 20:14 But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
- 20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
- 20:16 He shall come and destroy these farmers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
- 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
- 20:18 Whoever shall fall on that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
- 20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
- 20:20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
- 20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that you say and teach rightly, neither accept you the person of any, but teach the way of God truly:
- 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
- 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt you me?
- 20:24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
- 20:25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and to God the things which be God’s.
- 20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
- 20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
- 20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
- 20:29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
- 20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
- 20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
- 20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
- 20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
- 20:34 And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
- 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
- 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
- 20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
- 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
- 20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, you have well said.
- 20:40 And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
- 20:41 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
- 20:42 And David himself said in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,
- 20:43 Till I make your enemies your footstool.
- 20:44 David therefore calls him Lord, how is he then his son?
- 20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said to his disciples,
- 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
- 20:47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

- 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
- 19:2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
- 19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
- 19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
- 19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at your house.
- 19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
- 19:7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
- 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
- 19:9 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, as much as he also is a son of Abraham.
- 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
- 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
- 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
- 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
- 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
- 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
- 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
- 19:17 And he said to him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities.
- 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
- 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.
- 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
- 19:21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that you layed not down, and reap that you did not sow.
- 19:22 And he said to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
- 19:23 Why then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury?
- 19:24 And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
- 19:25 (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)
- 19:26 For I say to you, That to every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.
- 19:27 But those my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
- 19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
- 19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
- 19:30 Saying, Go you into the village over against you; in the which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, where on yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
- 19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do you loose him? thus shall you say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.
- 19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said to them.
- 19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them, Why loose you the colt?
- 19:34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.
- 19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
- 19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
- 19:37 And when he was come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
- 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
- 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
- 19:40 And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
- 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
- 19:42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong to your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
- 19:43 For the days shall come on you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
- 19:44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone on another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.
- 19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
- 19:46 Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
- 19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
- 19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Luke 18

- 18:1 And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
- 18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
- 18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
- 18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
- 18:5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
- 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said.
- 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night to him, though he bear long with them?
- 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
- 18:9 And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
- 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
- 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
- 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
- 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
- 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
- 18:15 And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
- 18:16 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
- 18:17 Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
- 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
- 18:19 And Jesus said to him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
- 18:20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.
- 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
- 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
- 18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
- 18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
- 18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
- 18:26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
- 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
- 18:28 Then Peter said, See, we have left all, and followed you.
- 18:29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
- 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
- 18:31 Then he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
- 18:32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
- 18:33 And they shall whip him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
- 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
- 18:35 And it came to pass, that as he was come near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
- 18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
- 18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
- 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
- 18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
- 18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
- 18:41 Saying, What will you that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
- 18:42 And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
- 18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

- 17:1 Then said he to the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe to him, through whom they come!
- 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
- 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
- 17:4 And if he trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.
- 17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
- 17:6 And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
- 17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
- 17:8 And will not rather say to him, Make ready with which I may sup, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
- 17:9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
- 17:10 So likewise you, when you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
- 17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
- 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
- 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
- 17:14 And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
- 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
- 17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
- 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
- 17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
- 17:19 And he said to him, Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.
- 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:
- 17:21 Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
- 17:22 And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.
- 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
- 17:24 For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
- 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
- 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
- 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
- 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
- 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
- 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
- 17:31 In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
- 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife.
- 17:33 Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
- 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
- 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
- 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
- 17:37 And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

- 16:1 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
- 16:2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
- 16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
- 16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
- 16:5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
- 16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
- 16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
- 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
- 16:9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
- 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
- 16:11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
- 16:12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
- 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
- 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
- 16:15 And he said to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
- 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
- 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
- 16:18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
- 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
- 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
- 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
- 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
- 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
- 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
- 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
- 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
- 16:27 Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
- 16:28 For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
- 16:29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
- 16:30 And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
- 16:31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

- 15:1 Then drew near to him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
- 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
- 15:3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
- 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
- 15:5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
- 15:6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
- 15:7 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
- 15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
- 15:9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
- 15:10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
- 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
- 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
- 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
- 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
- 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
- 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave to him.
- 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
- 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,
- 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
- 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
- 15:21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.
- 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
- 15:23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
- 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
- 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
- 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
- 15:27 And he said to him, Your brother is come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.
- 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
- 15:29 And he answering said to his father, See, these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
- 15:30 But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
- 15:31 And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.
- 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

- 14:1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
- 14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
- 14:3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
- 14:4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
- 14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
- 14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
- 14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them.
- 14:8 When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;
- 14:9 And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
- 14:10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
- 14:11 For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
- 14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
- 14:13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
- 14:14 And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
- 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
- 14:16 Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
- 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
- 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have me excused.
- 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
- 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
- 14:21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
- 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
- 14:23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
- 14:24 For I say to you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
- 14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
- 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
- 14:27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
- 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
- 14:29 Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
- 14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
- 14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
- 14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
- 14:33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
- 14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be seasoned?
- 14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

- 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
- 13:2 And Jesus answering said to them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
- 13:3 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
- 13:4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelled in Jerusalem?
- 13:5 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
- 13:6 He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
- 13:7 Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbers it the ground?
- 13:8 And he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
- 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
- 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
- 13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
- 13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
- 13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
- 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
- 13:15 The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
- 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, see, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
- 13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
- 13:18 Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
- 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
- 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
- 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
- 13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
- 13:23 Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said to them,
- 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
- 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not from where you are:
- 13:26 Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
- 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not from where you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
- 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
- 13:29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
- 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
- 13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Get you out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill you.
- 13:32 And he said to them, Go you, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
- 13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
- 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you would not!
- 13:35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate: and truly I say to you, You shall not see me, until the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

- 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
- 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
- 12:3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
- 12:4 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
- 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.
- 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
- 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
- 12:8 Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
- 12:9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
- 12:10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
- 12:11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:
- 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
- 12:13 And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
- 12:14 And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
- 12:15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
- 12:16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
- 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
- 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
- 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
- 12:20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
- 12:21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
- 12:22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
- 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
- 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
- 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
- 12:26 If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest?
- 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
- 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
- 12:29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
- 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
- 12:31 But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
- 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
- 12:33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
- 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
- 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
- 12:36 And you yourselves like to men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
- 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
- 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
- 12:39 And this know, that if the manager of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
- 12:40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
- 12:41 Then Peter said to him, Lord, speak you this parable to us, or even to all?
- 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
- 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
- 12:44 Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
- 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
- 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
- 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
- 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
- 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
- 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
- 12:51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
- 12:52 For from now on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
- 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
- 12:54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
- 12:55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
- 12:56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
- 12:57 Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?
- 12:58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
- 12:59 I tell you, you shall not depart there, till you have paid the very last mite.

- 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
- 11:2 And he said to them, When you pray, say, Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
- 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
- 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
- 11:5 And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
- 11:6 For a friend of my in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
- 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you.
- 11:8 I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
- 11:9 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
- 11:10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
- 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
- 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
- 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
- 11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
- 11:15 But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
- 11:16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
- 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls.
- 11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
- 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
- 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you.
- 11:21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace:
- 11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come on him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils.
- 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
- 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he said, I will return to my house from where I came out.
- 11:25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.
- 11:26 Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
- 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you have sucked.
- 11:28 But he said, Yes rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
- 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
- 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
- 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
- 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
- 11:33 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
- 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
- 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.
- 11:36 If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.
- 11:37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee sought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
- 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
- 11:39 And the Lord said to him, Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
- 11:40 You fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
- 11:41 But rather give alms of such things as you have; and, behold, all things are clean to you.
- 11:42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
- 11:43 Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
- 11:44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
- 11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying you reproach us also.
- 11:46 And he said, Woe to you also, you lawyers! for you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
- 11:47 Woe to you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
- 11:48 Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.
- 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
- 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
- 11:51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
- 11:52 Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.
- 11:53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
- 11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
