    8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
  • 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

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

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

  • 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came to him:
  • 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
  • 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  • 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
  • 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
  • 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
  • 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
  • 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
  • 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
  • 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  • 5:11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
  • 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
  • 5:13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
  • 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
  • 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all that are in the house.
  • 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
  • 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
  • 5:18 For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
  • 5:19 Whoever 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 whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
  • 5:20 For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
  • 5:21 You have heard that it was said of them of old time, You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
  • 5:22 But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
  • 5:23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has ought against you;
  • 5:24 Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
  • 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, whiles you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
  • 5:26 Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out there, till you have paid the uttermost farthing.
  • 5:27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:
  • 5:28 But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
  • 5:29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.
  • 5:30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.
  • 5:31 It has been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce:
  • 5:32 But I say to you, That whoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
  • 5:33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths:
  • 5:34 But I say to you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
  • 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
  • 5:36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.
  • 5:37 But let your communication be, Yes, yes; No, no: for whatever is more than these comes of evil.
  • 5:38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
  • 5:39 But I say to you, That you resist not evil: but whoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
  • 5:40 And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
  • 5:41 And whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.
  • 5:42 Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not you away.
  • 5:43 You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.
  • 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;
  • 5:45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
  • 5:46 For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same?
  • 5:47 And if you salute your brothers only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so?
  • 5:48 Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

  • 4:1  Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
  • 4:2  And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
  • 4:3  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
  • 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
  • 4:5  Then the devil takes him up into the holy city, and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple,
  • 4:6  And said to him, If you be the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
  • 4:7  Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
  • 4:8  Again, the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
  • 4:9  And said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.
  • 4:10  Then said Jesus to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
  • 4:11  Then the devil leaves him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.
  • 4:12  Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
  • 4:13  And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelled in Capernaum, which is on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
  • 4:14  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
  • 4:15  The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
  • 4:16  The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
  • 4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
  • 4:18  And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
  • 4:19  And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
  • 4:20  And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
  • 4:21  And going on from there, he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
  • 4:22  And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
  • 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
  • 4:24  And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
  • 4:25  And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

  • 3:1  In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
  • 3:2  And saying, Repent you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
  • 3:3  For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
  • 3:4  And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
  • 3:5  Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
  • 3:6  And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
  • 3:7  But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
  • 3:8  Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
  • 3:9  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
  • 3:10  And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
  • 3:11  I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
  • 3:12  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
  • 3:13  Then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized of him.
  • 3:14  But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?
  • 3:15  And Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
  • 3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting on him:
  • 3:17  And see a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

  • 2:1  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
  • 2:2  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
  • 2:3  When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
  • 2:4  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
  • 2:5  And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
  • 2:6  And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
  • 2:7  Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
  • 2:8  And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
  • 2:9  When they had heard the king, they departed; and, see, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
  • 2:10  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
  • 2:11  And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
  • 2:12  And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
  • 2:13  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
  • 2:14  When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
  • 2:15  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
  • 2:16  Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
  • 2:17  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
  • 2:18  In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
  • 2:19  But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
  • 2:20  Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
  • 2:21  And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
  • 2:22  But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
  • 2:23  And he came and dwelled in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

  • 1:9  And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
  • 1:10  And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
  • 1:11  And Josias begat Jechonias and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
  • 1:12  And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
  • 1:13  And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
  • 1:14  And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
  • 1:15  And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
  • 1:16  And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
  • 1:17  So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
  • 1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
  • 1:19  Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately.
  • 1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
  • 1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
  • 1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
  • 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
  • 1:24  Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took to him his wife:
  • 1:25  And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
