137The Gospel according to St. Luke

The Gospel according to

St. LukeThis evangelist is generally supposed to have been a physician, and a companion of the apostle Paul. Thestyle of his writings, and his acquaintance with the Jewish rites and usages, sufficiently show that he wasa Jew, while his knowledge of the Greek language and his name, speak his Gentile origin. He is firstmentioned Act 16:10,11, as with Paul at Troas, whence he attended him to Jerusalem, and was with him in

his voyage, and in his imprisonment at Rome. This Gospel appears to be designed to supersede manydefective and unauthentic narratives in circulation, and to give a genuine and inspired account of the lifemiracles, and doctrines of our Lord, learned from those who heard and witnessed his discourses and miracles

CHAPTER 1 The Preface. (1-4)

Zacharias and Elisabeth. (5-25) Christs birth announced. (26-38)

Interview of Mary and Elisabeth. (39-56) The birth of John the Baptist. (57-66) The song of Zacharias. (67-80)

FFFFForasmuch as many have taken inhand to set forth in order a declarationof those things which are most surelybelieved among us,22222 Even as they delivered them unto us,

wh ich from the beginn ing wereeyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;33333 It seemed good to me also, having hadperfect understanding of all things fromthe very first, to write unto thee in order,most excellent Theophilus,44444That thou mightest know the certaintyof those things, wherein thou hast beeninstructed.55555There was in the days of Herod, theking of Judaea, a certain priest namedZacharias, of the course of Abia: and hiswife was of the daughters of Aaron, andher name was Elisabeth.66666And they were both righteous beforeGod, walking in all the commandmentsand ordinances of the Lord blameless.77777And they had no child, because thatElisabeth was barren, and they bothwere now well stricken in years.88888And it came to pass, that while heexecuted the priests office before Godin the order of his course,

99999According to the custom of the priestsoffice, his lot was to burn incense whenhe went into the temple of the Lord.1010101010And the whole multitude of the people

were praying without at the time ofincense.1111111111And there appeared unto him an angelof the Lord standing on the right side of

the altar of incense.1212121212And when Zacharias saw him, he was

troubled, and fear fell upon him.1313131313 But the angel said unto him, Fear not,Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; andthy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,and thou shalt call his name John.1414141414And thou shalt have joy and gladness;and many shall rejoice at his birth.1515151515 For he shall be great in the sight of

the Lord, and shall drink neither winenor strong drink; and he shall be filledwith the Holy Ghost, even from hismothers womb.1616161616And many of the children of Israelshall he turn to the Lord their God.1717171717And he shall go before him in the spiritand power of Elias, to turn the hearts ofthe fathers to the children, and thedisobedient to the wisdom of the just;to make ready a people prepared for the

Lord.1818181818And Zacharias said unto the angel,

Whereby shall I know this? for I am anold man, and my wife well stricken inyears.1919191919And the angel answering said untohim, I am Gabriel, that stand in thepresence of God; and am sent to speakunto thee, and to shew thee these gladtidings.2020202020And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, andnot able to speak, until the day thatthese things shall be performed, becausethou believest not my words, which shallbe fulfilled in their season.2121212121And the people waited for Zacharias,and marvelled that he tarried so long inthe temple.2222222222And when he came out, he could notspeak unto them: and they perceivedthat he had seen a vision in the temple:


4/87



for he beckoned unto them, andremained speechless.2323232323And it came to pass, that, as soon as

the days of his ministration wereaccomplished, he departed to his ownhouse.2424242424 And af ter those days his wi feElisabeth conceived, and hid herself five

months, saying,2525252525Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in

the days wherein he looked on me, totake away my reproach among men.2626262626And in the sixth month the angelGabriel was sent from God unto a cityof Galilee, named Nazareth,2727272727To a virgin espoused to a man whosename was Joseph, of the house of David;and the virgins name was Mary.2828282828

And the angel came in unto her, andsaid, Hail, thou that art highly favored,the Lord is with thee: blessed art thouamong women.2929292929 And when she saw him, she was

troubled at his saying, and cast in hermind what manner of salutation thisshould be.3030303030And the angel said unto her, Fear not,Mary: for thou hast found favor withGod.

3131313131And, behold, thou shalt conceive inthy womb, and bring forth a son, andshalt call his name JESUS.3232323232 He shall be great, and shall be called

the Son of the Highest: and the Lord Godshall give unto him the throne of hisfather David:3333333333And he shall reign over the house of

Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom thereshall be no end.3434343434Then said Mary unto the angel, Howshall this be, seeing I know not a man?3535353535And the angel answered and said untoher, The Holy Ghost shall come uponthee, and the power of the Highest shallovershadow thee: therefore also thatholy thing which shall be born of theeshall be called the Son of God.3636363636And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, shehath also conceived a son in her old age:


5/87



and this is the sixth month with her, whowas called barren.3737373737 For with God nothing shall beimpossible.3838383838And Mary said, Behold the handmaidof the Lord; be it unto me according tothy word. And the angel departed fromher.3939393939And Mary arose in those days, and

went into the hill country with haste,into a city of Juda;4040404040 And entered into the house ofZacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.4141414141 And it came to pass, that, whenElisabeth heard the salutation of Mary,the babe leaped in her womb; andElisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:4242424242And she spake out with a loud voice,

and said, Blessed art thou amongwomen, and blessed is the fruit of thywomb.4343434343And whence is this to me, that themother of my Lord should come to me?4444444444 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thysalutation sounded in mine ears, thebabe leaped in my womb for joy.4545454545And blessed is she that believed: for

there shall be a performance of thosethings which were told her from the

Lord.4646464646And Mary said, My soul doth magnify

the Lord,4747474747And my spirit hath rejoiced in God mySavior.4848484848 For he hath regarded the low estateof his handmaiden: for, behold, fromhenceforth all generations shall call meblessed.4949494949 For he that is mighty hath done to megreat things; and holy is his name.5050505050And his mercy is on them that fearhim from generation to generation.5151515151 He hath shewed strength with his arm;he hath scattered the proud in theimagination of their hearts.5252525252 He hath put down the mighty from

their seats, and exalted them of lowdegree.5353535353 He hath filled the hungry with good

things; and the rich he hath sent empty

away.

5454545454 He hath holpen his servant Israel, inremembrance of his mercy;5555555555 As he spake to our fathers , to

Abraham, and to his seed for ever.5656565656And Mary abode with her about threemonths, and returned to her own house.5757575757 Now Elisabeths full time came thatshe should be delivered; and she brought

forth a son.5858585858And her neighbors and her cousinsheard how the Lord had shewed greatmercy upon her; and they rejoiced withher.5959595959And it came to pass, that on the eighthday they came to circumcise the child;and they called him Zacharias, after thename of his father.6060606060And his mother answered and said,

Not so; but he shall be called John.6161616161And they said unto her, There is noneof thy kindred that is called by thisname.6262626262And they made signs to his father, howhe would have him called.6363636363And he asked for a writing table, and

wrote, saying, His name is John. Andthey marvelled all.6464646464 And his mouth was openedimmediately, and his tongue loosed, and

he spake, and praised God.6565656565And fear came on all that dwelt roundabout them: and all these sayings werenoised abroad throughout all the hillcountry of Judaea.6666666666And all they that heard them laid themup in their hearts, saying, What mannerof child shall this be! And the hand ofthe Lord was with him.6767676767And his father Zacharias was filled

with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied,saying,6868686868 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; forhe hath visited and redeemed his people,6969696969 And hath raised up an horn ofsalvation for us in the house of hisservant David;7070707070As he spake by the mouth of his holyprophets, which have been since theworld began:7171717171That we should be saved from our


7/87



enemies, and from the hand of all thathate us;7272727272To perform the mercy promised to ourfathers, and to remember his holycovenant;7373737373The oath which he swear to our father

Abraham,7474747474That he would grant unto us, that we

being delivered out of the hand of ourenemies might serve him without fear,7575757575 In holiness and righteousness beforehim, all the days of our life.7676767676And thou, child, shalt be called theprophet of the Highest: for thou shaltgo before the face of the Lord to preparehis ways;7777777777To give knowledge of salvation untohis people by the remission of their sins,7878787878

Through the tender mercy of our God;whereby the dayspring from on highhath visited us,7979797979 To give light to them that sit indarkness and in the shadow of death,to guide our feet into the way of peace.8080808080And the child grew, and waxed strongin spirit, and was in the deserts till theday of his shewing unto Israel.

Simeon prophesies concerning Jesus.(25-35)

Anna prophesies concerning him. (36-40)

Christ with the learned men in the temple.(41-52)

AAAAAnd it came to pass in those days, thatthere went out a decree from Caesar

Augustus that all the world should betaxed.22222 (And this taxing was first made whenCyrenius was governor of Syria.)33333And all went to be taxed, every oneinto his own city.44444And Joseph also went up from Galilee,out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,unto the city of David, which is calledBethlehem; (because he was of the


8/87



house and lineage of David:)55555To be taxed with Mary his espoused

wife, being great with child.66666And so it was, that, while they were

there, the days were accomplished thatshe should be delivered.77777And she brought forth her firstbornson, and wrapped him in swaddling

clothes, and laid him in a manger;because there was no room for them inthe inn.88888And there were in the same countryshepherds abiding in the field, keepingwatch over their flock by night.99999And, lo, the angel of the Lord cameupon them, and the glory of the Lordshone round about them: and they weresore afraid.1010101010

And the angel said unto them, Fearnot: for, behold, I bring you good tidingsof great joy, which shall be to all people.1111111111 For unto you is born this day in thecity of David a Savior, which is Christthe Lord.1212121212And this shall be a sign unto you; Yeshall find the babe wrapped in swaddlingclothes, lying in a manger.1313131313And suddenly there was with the angela multitude of the heavenly host praising

God, and saying,1414141414 Glory to God in the highest, and onearth peace, good will toward men.1515151515And it came to pass, as the angels

were gone away from them into heaven,the shepherds said one to another, Letus now go even unto Bethlehem, and seethis thing which is come to pass, whichthe Lord hath made known unto us.1616161616And they came with haste, and foundMary, and Joseph, and the babe lying ina manger.1717171717And when they had seen it, they madeknown abroad the saying which was toldthem concerning this child.1818181818And all they that heard it wonderedat those things which were told themby the shepherds.1919191919 But Mary kept all these things, andpondered them in her heart.2020202020 And the shepherds returned,


9/87



glorifying and praising God for all thethings that they had heard and seen, asit was told unto them.2121212121 And when eight days wereaccomplished for the circumcising of thechild, his name was called JESUS, whichwas so named of the angel before he wasconceived in the womb.2222222222And when the days of her purificationaccording to the law of Moses wereaccomplished, they brought him toJerusalem, to present him to the Lord;2323232323 (As it is written in the law of theLORD, Every male that openeth thewomb shall be called holy to the Lord;)2424242424And to offer a sacrifice according to

that which is said in the law of the Lord,A pair of turtledoves, or two young

pigeons.2525252525 And, behold, there was a man inJerusalem, whose name was Simeon;and the same man was just and devout,waiting for the consolation of Israel: andthe Holy Ghost was upon him.2626262626And it was revealed unto him by theHoly Ghost, that he should not seedeath, before he had seen the LordsChrist.2727272727And he came by the Spirit into the

temple: and when the parents broughtin the child Jesus, to do for him afterthe custom of the law,2828282828Then took he him up in his arms, and

blessed God, and said,2929292929 Lord, now lettest thou thy servantdepart in peace, according to thy word:3030303030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,3131313131Which thou hast prepared before theface of all people;3232323232A light to lighten the Gentiles, and

the glory of thy people Israel.3333333333And Joseph and his mother marvelledat those things which were spoken ofhim.3434343434And Simeon blessed them, and saidunto Mary his mother, Behold, this childis set for the fall and rising again ofmany in Israel; and for a sign whichshall be spoken against;3535353535 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy


10/87



own soul also,) that the thoughts ofmany hearts may be revealed.3636363636 And there was one Anna, aprophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, ofthe tribe of Aser: she was of a great age,and had lived with an husband sevenyears from her virginity;3737373737 And she was a widow of about

fourscore and four years, whichdeparted not from the temple, but servedGod with fastings and prayers night andday.3838383838And she coming in that instant gave

thanks likewise unto the Lord, andspake of him to all them that looked forredemption in Jerusalem.3939393939And when they had performed all

things according to the law of the Lord,

they returned into Galilee, to their owncity Nazareth.4040404040And the child grew, and waxed strongin spirit, filled with wisdom: and thegrace of God was upon him.4141414141 Now his parents went to Jerusalemevery year at the feast of the passover.4242424242And when he was twelve years old,

they went up to Jerusalem after thecustom of the feast.4343434343And when they had fulfilled the days,

as they returned, the child Jesus tarriedbehind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and hismother knew not of it.4444444444 But they, supposing him to have beenin the company, went a days journey;and they sought him among theirkinsfolk and acquaintance.4545454545And when they found him not, they

turned back again to Jerusalem, seekinghim.4646464646And it came to pass, that after threedays they found him in the temple,sitting in the midst of the doctors, bothhearing them, and asking themquestions.4747474747 And al l that heard him wereastonished at his understanding andanswers.4848484848And when they saw him, they wereamazed: and his mother said unto him,Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?


11/87



behold, thy father and I have sought theesorrowing.4949494949And he said unto them, How is it that

ye sought me? wist ye not that I mustbe about my Fathers business?5050505050And they understood not the saying

which he spake unto them.5151515151And he went down with them, and

came to Nazareth, and was subject untothem: but his mother kept all thesesayings in her heart.5252525252And Jesus increased in wisdom andstature, and in favor with God and man.

CHAPTER 3 John the Baptists ministry. (1-14) John the Baptist testifies concerning

Christ. (15-20)

The baptism of Christ. (21,22) The genealogy of Christ. (23-38)

NNNNNow in the fifteenth year of the reignof Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate beinggovernor of Judaea, and Herod beingtetrarch of Galilee, and his brotherPhilip tetrarch of Ituraea and of theregion of Trachonitis, and Lysanias thetetrarch of Abilene,22222Annas and Caiaphas being the high

priests, the word of God came unto Johnthe son of Zacharias in the wilderness.33333And he came into all the country about

Jordan, preaching the bapt ism ofrepentance for the remission of sins;44444As it is written in the book of the wordsof Esaias the prophet, saying, The voiceof one crying in the wilderness, Prepareye the way of the Lord, make his pathsstraight.55555

Every valley shall be filled, and everymountain and hill shall be brought low;and the crooked shall be made straight,and the rough ways shall be madesmooth;66666And all flesh shall see the salvation ofGod.77777Then said he to the multitude that cameforth to be baptized of him, O generationof vipers, who hath warned you to fleefrom the wrath to come?


12/87



88888 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy ofrepentance, and begin not to say withinyourselves, We have Abraham to ourfather: for I say unto you, That God isable of these stones to raise up childrenunto Abraham.99999And now also the axe is laid unto theroot of the trees: every tree therefore

which bringeth not forth good fruit ishewn down, and cast into the fire.1010101010And the people asked him, saying,

What shall we do then?1111111111 He answereth and saith unto them,He that hath two coats, let him impartto him that hath none; and he that hathmeat, let him do likewise.1212121212 Then came also publicans to be

baptized, and said unto him, Master,

what shall we do?1313131313And he said unto them, Exact no morethan that which is appointed you.1414141414And the soldiers likewise demandedof him, saying, And what shall we do?And he said unto them, Do violence tono man, neither accuse any falsely; andbe content with your wages.1515151515And as the people were in expectation,and all men mused in their hearts ofJohn, whether he were the Christ, or not;

1616161616John answered, saying unto them all,I indeed baptize you with water; but onemightier than I cometh, the latchet ofwhose shoes I am not worthy to unloose:he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghostand with fire:1717171717Whose fan is in his hand, and he will

throughly purge his floor, and willgather the wheat into his garner; but thechaff he will burn with fireunquenchable.1818181818 And many other th ings in hisexhortation preached he unto thepeople.1919191919 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved

by him for Herodias his brother Philipswife, and for all the evils which Herodhad done,2020202020Added yet this above all, that he shutup John in prison.2121212121 Now when all the people were


13/87



baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus alsobeing baptized, and praying, the heavenwas opened,2222222222And the Holy Ghost descended in a

bodily shape like a dove upon him, anda voice came from heaven, which said,Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I amwell pleased.2323232323And Jesus himself began to be about

CHAPTER 4 The temptation of Christ. (1-13) Christ in the synagogue of Nazareth.

(14-30)

He casts out an unequaled spirit and healsthe sick. (31-44)

AAAAAnd Jesus being full of the Holy Ghostreturned from Jordan, and was led bythe Spirit into the wilderness,22222 Being forty days tempted of the devil.

And in those days he did eat nothing:and when they were ended, he afterwardhungered.33333And the devil said unto him, If thou be

the Son of God, command this stone thatit be made bread.44444

And Jesus answered him, saying, It iswritten, That man shall not live by breadalone, but by every word of God.55555And the devil, taking him up into anhigh mountain, shewed unto him all thekingdoms of the world in a moment oftime.66666And the devil said unto him, All thispower will I give thee, and the glory ofthem: for that is delivered unto me; andto whomsoever I will I give it.


15/87



77777 If thou therefore wilt worship me, allshall be thine.88888And Jesus answered and said unto him,Get thee behind me, Satan: for it iswritten, Thou shalt worship the Lord thyGod, and him only shalt thou serve.99999And he brought him to Jerusalem, andset him on a pinnacle of the temple, and

said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,cast thyself down from hence:1010101010 For it is written, He shall give hisangels charge over thee, to keep thee:1111111111And in their hands they shall bear theeup, lest at any time thou dash thy footagainst a stone.1212121212And Jesus answering said unto him,It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lordthy God.1313131313

And when the devil had ended all thetemptation, he departed from him for aseason.1414141414And Jesus returned in the power of

the Spirit into Galilee: and there wentout a fame of him through all the regionround about.1515151515And he taught in their synagogues,

being glorified of all.1616161616And he came to Nazareth, where hehad been brought up: and, as his custom

was, he went into the synagogue on thesabbath day, and stood up for to read.1717171717And there was delivered unto him the

book of the prophet Esaias. And whenhe had opened the book, he found theplace where it was written,1818181818The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

because he hath anointed me to preachthe gospel to the poor; he hath sent meto heal the brokenhearted, to preachdeliverance to the captives, andrecovering of sight to the blind, to setat liberty them that are bruised,1919191919To preach the acceptable year of theLord.2020202020And he closed the book, and he gaveit again to the minister, and sat down.And the eyes of all them that were inthe synagogue were fastened on him.2121212121And he began to say unto them, Thisday is this scripture fulfilled in your

ears.

2222222222 And al l bare him wi tness , andwondered at the gracious words whichproceeded out of his mouth. And theysaid, Is not this Josephs son?2323232323And he said unto them, Ye will surelysay unto me this proverb, Physician,heal thyself: whatsoever we have hearddone in Capernaum, do also here in thy

country.2424242424And he said, Verily I say unto you, Noprophet is accepted in his own country.2525252525 But I tell you of a truth, many widows

were in Israel in the days of Elias, whenthe heaven was shut up three years andsix months, when great famine wasthroughout all the land;2626262626 But unto none of them was Elias sent,save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto

a woman that was a widow.2727272727And many lepers were in Israel in thetime of Eliseus the prophet; and noneof them was cleansed, saving Naamanthe Syrian.2828282828And all they in the synagogue, when

they heard these things, were filled withwrath,2929292929And rose up, and thrust him out of

the city, and led him unto the brow ofthe hill whereon their city was built, that

they might cast him down headlong.3030303030 But he passing through the midst of

them went his way,3131313131And came down to Capernaum, a cityof Galilee, and taught them on thesabbath days.3232323232 And they were astonished at hisdoctrine: for his word was with power.3333333333And in the synagogue there was aman, which had a spirit of an uncleandevil, and cried out with a loud voice,3434343434 Saying, Let us alone; what have we todo with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?art thou come to destroy us? I know theewho thou art; the Holy One of God.3535353535And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold

thy peace, and come out of him. Andwhen the devil had thrown him in themidst, he came out of him, and hurt himnot.3636363636And they were all amazed, and spake


17/87



among themselves, saying, What a wordis this! for with authority and power hecommandeth the unclean spirits, andthey come out.3737373737And the fame of him went out intoevery place of the country round about.3838383838And he arose out of the synagogue,and entered into Simons house. And

Simons wifes mother was taken with agreat fever; and they besought him forher.3939393939And he stood over her, and rebuked

the fever ; and it lef t her: andimmediately she arose and ministeredunto them.4040404040 Now when the sun was setting, all

they that had any sick with diversdiseases brought them unto him; and he

laid his hands on every one of them, andhealed them.4141414141And devils also came out of many,crying out, and saying, Thou art Christthe Son of God. And he rebuking themsuffered them not to speak: for theyknew that he was Christ.4242424242And when it was day, he departed and

went into a desert place: and the peoplesought him, and came unto him, andstayed him, that he should not depart

from them.4343434343And he said unto them, I must preach

the kingdom of God to other cities also:for therefore am I sent.4444444444And he preached in the synagoguesof Galilee.

CHAPTER 5 The miraculous draught of fishes, Peter,

James, and John called. (1-11)

A leper cleansed. (12-16) A paralytic cured. (17-26)

Levi called, Christ s answer to thePharisees. (27-39)

AAAAAnd it came to pass, that, as the peoplepressed upon him to hear the word ofGod, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,22222And saw two ships standing by thelake: but the fishermen were gone outof them, and were washing their nets.


18/87



33333And he entered into one of the ships,which was Simons, and prayed him thathe would thrust out a little from theland. And he sat down, and taught thepeople out of the ship.44444 Now when he had left speaking, he saidunto Simon, Launch out into the deep,and let down your nets for a draught.55555And Simon answering said unto him,Master, we have toiled all the night, andhave taken nothing: nevertheless at thyword I will let down the net.66666And when they had this done, theyinclosed a great multitude of fishes: andtheir net brake.77777And they beckoned unto their partners,

which were in the other ship, that theyshould come and help them. And they

came, and filled both the ships, so thatthey began to sink.88888When Simon Peter saw it, he fell downat Jesus knees, saying, Depart from me;for I am a sinful man, O Lord.99999 For he was astonished, and all that

were with him, at the draught of thefishes which they had taken:1010101010And so was also James, and John, thesons of Zebedee, which were partnerswith Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon,

Fear not; from henceforth thou shaltcatch men.1111111111And when they had brought their ships

to land, they forsook all, and followedhim.1212121212And it came to pass, when he was in acertain city, behold a man full of leprosy:who seeing Jesus fell on his face, andbesought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt,thou canst make me clean.1313131313And he put forth his hand, and touchedhim, saying, I will: be thou clean. Andimmediately the leprosy departed fromhim.1414141414And he charged him to tell no man:

but go, and shew thyself to the priest,and offer for thy cleansing, accordingas Moses commanded, for a testimonyunto them.1515151515 But so much the more went there afame abroad of him: and great


19/87



multitudes came together to hear, andto be healed by him of their infirmities.1616161616And he withdrew himself into the

wilderness, and prayed.1717171717And it came to pass on a certain day,as he was teaching, that there werePharisees and doctors of the law sittingby, which were come out of every town

of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem:and the power of the Lord was presentto heal them.1818181818And, behold, men brought in a bed aman which was taken with a palsy: andthey sought means to bring him in, andto lay him before him.1919191919And when they could not find by what

way they might bring him in because ofthe multitude, they went upon the

housetop, and let him down through thetiling with his couch into the midstbefore Jesus.2020202020And when he saw their faith, he saidunto him, Man, thy sins are forgiventhee.2121212121And the scribes and the Pharisees

began to reason, saying, Who is thiswhich speaketh blasphemies? Who canforgive sins, but God alone?2222222222 But when Jesus perceived their

thoughts, he answering said unto them,What reason ye in your hearts?2323232323Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins beforgiven thee; or to say, Rise up andwalk?2424242424 But that ye may know that the Son ofman hath power upon earth to forgivesins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,)I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thycouch, and go into thine house.2525252525And immediately he rose up before

them, and took up that whereon he lay,and departed to his own house,glorifying God.2626262626And they were all amazed, and theyglorified God, and were filled with fear,saying, We have seen strange things today.2727272727And after these things he went forth,and saw a publican, named Levi, sittingat the receipt of custom: and he said


20/87



unto him, Follow me.2828282828And he left all, rose up, and followedhim.2929292929And Levi made him a great feast inhis own house: and there was a greatcompany of publicans and of others thatsat down with them.3030303030 But their scribes and Pharisees

murmured against his disciples, saying,Why do ye eat and drink with publicansand sinners?3131313131And Jesus answering said unto them,

They that are whole need not aphysician; but they that are sick.3232323232 I came not to call the righteous, butsinners to repentance.3333333333And they said unto him, Why do thedisciples of John fast often, and make

prayers, and likewise the disciples of thePharisees; but thine eat and drink?3434343434And he said unto them, Can ye make

the children of the bridechamber fast,while the bridegroom is with them?3535353535 But the days will come, when the

bridegroom shall be taken away fromthem, and then shall they fast in thosedays.3636363636And he spake also a parable unto

them; No man putteth a piece of a new

garment upon an old; if otherwise, thenboth the new maketh a rent, and thepiece that was taken out of the newagreeth not with the old.3737373737And no man putteth new wine into old

bottles; else the new wine will burst thebottles, and be spilled, and the bottlesshall perish.3838383838 But new wine must be put into new

bottles; and both are preserved.3939393939 No man also having drunk old winestraightway desireth new: for he saith,The old is better.

CHAPTER 6 The disciples pluck corn on the Sabbath.

(1-5)

Works of mercy suitable to the Sabbathday. (6-11)

The apostles chosen. (12-19) Blessings and woes declared. (20-26) Christ exhorts to mercy. (27-36)

And to justice and sincerity. (37-49)

AAAAAnd it came to pass on the secondsabbath after the first, that he wentthrough the corn fields; and his disciplesplucked the ears of corn, and did eat,rubbing them in their hands.22222And certain of the Pharisees said unto

them, Why do ye that which is not lawfulto do on the sabbath days?33333And Jesus answering them said, Have

ye not read so much as this, what Daviddid, when himself was an hungred, andthey which were with him;44444 How he went into the house of God,and did take and eat the shewbread, andgave also to them that were with him;which it is not lawful to eat but for thepriests alone?55555And he said unto them, That the Sonof man is Lord also of the sabbath.66666And it came to pass also on another

sabbath, that he entered into thesynagogue and taught: and there was aman whose right hand was withered.77777And the scribes and Pharisees watchedhim, whether he would heal on thesabbath day; that they might find anaccusation against him.88888 But he knew their thoughts, and said

to the man which had the withered hand,Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.

And he arose and stood forth.99999Then said Jesus unto them, I will askyou one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbathdays to do good, or to do evil? to savelife, or to destroy it?1010101010And looking round about upon themall, he said unto the man, Stretch forththy hand. And he did so: and his handwas restored whole as the other.1111111111And they were filled with madness;and communed one with another what


22/87



they might do to Jesus.1212121212And it came to pass in those days, thathe went out into a mountain to pray, andcontinued all night in prayer to God.1313131313And when it was day, he called untohim his disciples: and of them he chosetwelve, whom also he named apostles;1414141414 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,)

and Andrew his brother, James and John,Philip and Bartholomew,1515151515 Matthew and Thomas, James the sonof Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,1616161616And Judas the brother of James, and

Judas Iscariot, which also was thetraitor.1717171717And he came down with them, andstood in the plain, and the company ofhis disciples, and a great multitude of

people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem,and from the sea coast of Tyre andSidon, which came to hear him, and tobe healed of their diseases;1818181818 And they that were vexed wi thunclean spirits: and they were healed.1919191919And the whole multitude sought to

touch him: for there went virtue out ofhim, and healed them all.2020202020 And he lifted up his eyes on hisdisciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor:

for yours is the kingdom of God.2121212121 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for

ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye thatweep now: for ye shall laugh.2222222222 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate

you, and when they shall separate youfrom their company, and shall reproachyou, and cast out your name as evil, forthe Son of mans sake.2323232323 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for

joy: for, behold, your reward is great inheaven: for in the like manner did theirfathers unto the prophets.2424242424 But woe unto you that are rich! for yehave received your consolation.2525252525Woe unto you that are full! for ye shallhunger. Woe unto you that laugh now!for ye shall mourn and weep.2626262626Woe unto you, when all men shallspeak well of you! for so did their fathersto the false prophets.


23/87



2727272727 But I say unto you which hear, Loveyour enemies, do good to them whichhate you,2828282828 Bless them that curse you, and prayfor them which despitefully use you.2929292929And unto him that smiteth thee on theone cheek offer also the other; and himthat taketh away thy cloak forbid not to

take thy coat also.3030303030 Give to every man that asketh of thee;and of him that taketh away thy goodsask them not again.3131313131And as ye would that men should do

to you, do ye also to them likewise.3232323232 For if ye love them which love you,

what thank have ye? for sinners alsolove those that love them.3333333333And if ye do good to them which do

good to you, what thank have ye? forsinners also do even the same.3434343434And if ye lend to them of whom yehope to receive, what thank have ye?for sinners also lend to sinners, toreceive as much again.3535353535 But love ye your enemies, and do good,and lend, hoping for nothing again; andyour reward shall be great, and ye shallbe the children of the Highest: for he iskind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

3636363636 Be ye therefore merciful, as yourFather also is merciful.3737373737Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:condemn not, and ye shall not becondemned: forgive, and ye shall beforgiven:3838383838 Give, and it shall be given unto you;good measure, pressed down, andshaken together, and running over, shallmen give into your bosom. For with thesame measure that ye mete withal itshall be measured to you again.3939393939And he spake a parable unto them,Can the blind lead the blind? shall theynot both fall into the ditch?4040404040The disciple is not above his master:

but every one that is perfect shall be ashis master.4141414141And why beholdest thou the mote thatis in thy brothers eye, but perceivest notthe beam that is in thine own eye?


24/87



4242424242 Either how canst thou say to thybrother, Brother, let me pull out the motethat is in thine eye, when thou thyselfbeholdest not the beam that is in thineown eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out firstthe beam out of thine own eye, and thenshalt thou see clearly to pull out themote that is in thy brothers eye.4343434343 For a good tree bringeth not forthcorrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt treebring forth good fruit.4444444444 For every tree is known by his ownfruit. For of thorns men do not gatherfigs, nor of a bramble bush gather theygrapes.4545454545A good man out of the good treasureof his heart bringeth forth that which isgood; and an evil man out of the evil

treasure of his heart bringeth forth thatwhich is evil: for of the abundance ofthe heart his mouth speaketh.4646464646And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, anddo not the things which I say?4747474747Whosoever cometh to me, and hearethmy sayings, and doeth them, I will shewyou to whom he is like:4848484848 He is like a man which built an house,and digged deep, and laid the foundationon a rock: and when the flood arose, the

stream beat vehemently upon thathouse, and could not shake it: for it wasfounded upon a rock.4949494949 But he that heareth, and doeth not, islike a man that without a foundationbuilt an house upon the earth; againstwhich the stream did beat vehemently,and immediately it fell; and the ruin ofthat house was great.

CHAPTER 7 The centurions servant healed. (1-10) The widows son raised. (11-18) John the Baptists inquiry concerning

Jesus. (19-35) Christ anointed in the house of the

Pharisee. The parable of the two debtors.(36-50)

NNNNNow when he had ended all his sayingsin the audience of the people, he entered

into Capernaum.


25/87



22222And a certain centurions servant, whowas dear unto him, was sick, and readyto die.33333And when he heard of Jesus, he sentunto him the elders of the Jews,beseeching him that he would come andheal his servant.44444And when they came to Jesus, they

besought him instantly, saying, That hewas worthy for whom he should do this:55555 For he loveth our nation, and he hath

built us a synagogue.66666Then Jesus went with them. And whenhe was now not far from the house, thecenturion sent friends to him, sayingunto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: forI am not worthy that thou shouldestenter under my roof:77777

Wherefore neither thought I myselfworthy to come unto thee: but say in aword, and my servant shall be healed.88888 For I also am a man set under authority,having under me soldiers, and I say untoone, Go, and he goeth; and to another,Come, and he cometh; and to myservant, Do this, and he doeth it.99999When Jesus heard these things, hemarvelled at him, and turned him about,and said unto the people that followed

him, I say unto you, I have not found sogreat faith, no, not in Israel.1010101010And they that were sent, returning to

the house, found the servant whole thathad been sick.1111111111And it came to pass the day after, thathe went into a city called Nain; and manyof his disciples went with him, and muchpeople.1212121212 Now when he came nigh to the gate of

the city, behold, there was a dead mancarried out, the only son of his mother,and she was a widow: and much peopleof the city was with her.1313131313And when the Lord saw her, he hadcompassion on her, and said unto her,Weep not.1414141414And he came and touched the bier:and they that bare him stood still. Andhe said, Young man, I say unto thee,Arise.


26/87



1515151515And he that was dead sat up, andbegan to speak. And he delivered himto his mother.1616161616And there came a fear on all: and theyglorified God, saying, That a greatprophet is risen up among us; and, ThatGod hath visited his people.1717171717And this rumour of him went forth

throughout all Judaea, and throughoutall the region round about.1818181818And the disciples of John shewed himof all these things.1919191919And John calling unto him two of hisdisciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Artthou he that should come? or look wefor another?2020202020When the men were come unto him,

they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto

thee, saying, Art thou he that shouldcome? or look we for another?2121212121And in that same hour he cured manyof their infirmities and plagues, and ofevil spirits; and unto many that wereblind he gave sight.2222222222Then Jesus answering said unto them,Go your way, and tell John what thingsye have seen and heard; how that theblind see, the lame walk, the lepers arecleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are

raised, to the poor the gospel ispreached.2323232323And blessed is he, whosoever shall not

be offended in me.2424242424And when the messengers of John

were departed, he began to speak untothe people concerning John, What wentye out into the wilderness for to see? Areed shaken with the wind?2525252525 But what went ye out for to see? Aman clothed in soft raiment? Behold,they which are gorgeously apparelled,and live delicately, are in kings courts.2626262626 But what went ye out for to see? Aprophet? Yea, I say unto you, and muchmore than a prophet.2727272727This is he, of whom it is written,Behold, I send my messenger before thyface, which shall prepare thy way beforethee.2828282828 For I say unto you, Among those that


27/87



are born of women there is not a greaterprophet than John the Baptist: but hethat is least in the kingdom of God isgreater than he.2929292929And all the people that heard him, and

the publicans, justified God, beingbaptized with the baptism of John.3030303030 But the Pharisees and lawyers

rejected the counsel of God againstthemselves, being not baptized of him.3131313131And the Lord said, Whereunto thenshall I liken the men of this generation?and to what are they like?3232323232They are like unto children sitting in

the marketplace, and calling one toanother, and saying, We have piped untoyou, and ye have not danced; we havemourned to you, and ye have not wept.3333333333

For John the Baptist came neithereating bread nor drinking wine; and yesay, He hath a devil.3434343434The Son of man is come eating anddrinking; and ye say, Behold agluttonous man, and a winebibber, afriend of publicans and sinners!3535353535 But wisdom is justified of all herchildren.3636363636And one of the Pharisees desired him

that he would eat with him. And he went

into the Pharisees house, and sat downto meat.3737373737And, behold, a woman in the city,

which was a sinner, when she knew thatJesus sat at meat in the Phariseeshouse, brought an alabaster box ofointment,3838383838And stood at his feet behind him

weeping, and began to wash his feetwith tears, and did wipe them with thehairs of her head, and kissed his feet,and anointed them with the ointment.3939393939 Now when the Pharisee which had

bidden him saw it, he spake withinhimself, saying, This man, if he were aprophet, would have known who andwhat manner of woman this is thattoucheth him: for she is a sinner.4040404040And Jesus answering said unto him,Simon, I have somewhat to say untothee. And he saith, Master, say on.


28/87



4141414141There was a certain creditor whichhad two debtors: the one owed fivehundred pence, and the other fifty.4242424242And when they had nothing to pay, hefrankly forgave them both. Tell metherefore, which of them will love himmost?4343434343 Simon answered and said, I suppose

that he, to whom he forgave most. Andhe said unto him, Thou hast rightlyjudged.4444444444And he turned to the woman, and saidunto Simon, Seest thou this woman? Ientered into thine house, thou gavestme no water for my feet: but she hathwashed my feet with tears, and wipedthem with the hairs of her head.4545454545Thou gavest me no kiss: but this

woman since the time I came in hathnot ceased to kiss my feet.4646464646 My head with oil thou didst not anoint:

but this woman hath anointed my feetwith ointment.4747474747Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins,

which are many, are forgiven; for sheloved much: but to whom little isforgiven, the same loveth little.4848484848And he said unto her, Thy sins areforgiven.

4949494949And they that sat at meat with himbegan to say within themselves, Who isthis that forgiveth sins also?5050505050And he said to the woman, Thy faithhath saved thee; go in peace.

CHAPTER 8 The ministry of Christ. (1-3)

The parable of the sower. (4-21) Christ stilleth the tempest and casteth out

devils. (22-40) The daughter of Jairus restored to life.

(41-56)

AAAAAnd it came to pass afterward, thathe went throughout every city andvillage, preaching and shewing the gladtidings of the kingdom of God: and thetwelve were with him,22222And certain women, which had beenhealed of evil spirits and infirmities,


29/87



Mary called Magdalene, out of whomwent seven devils,33333And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herodssteward, and Susanna, and many others,which ministered unto him of theirsubstance.44444And when much people were gathered

together, and were come to him out of

every city, he spake by a parable:55555A sower went out to sow his seed: andas he sowed, some fell by the way side;and it was trodden down, and the fowlsof the air devoured it.66666And some fell upon a rock; and as soonas it was sprung up, it withered away,because it lacked moisture.77777And some fell among thorns; and the

thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.88888

And other fell on good ground, andsprang up, and bare fruit anhundredfold. And when he had saidthese things, he cried, He that hath earsto hear, let him hear.99999And his disciples asked him, saying,

What might this parable be?1010101010And he said, Unto you it is given toknow the mysteries of the kingdom ofGod: but to others in parables; thatseeing they might not see, and hearing

they might not understand.1111111111 Now the parable is this: The seed is

the word of God.1212121212Those by the way side are they thathear; then cometh the devil, and takethaway the word out of their hearts, lestthey should believe and be saved.1313131313They on the rock are they, which,

when they hear, receive the word withjoy; and these have no root, which for awhile believe, and in time of temptationfall away.1414141414And that which fell among thorns are

they, which, when they have heard, goforth, and are choked with cares andriches and pleasures of this life, andbring no fruit to perfection.1515151515 But that on the good ground are they,

which in an honest and good heart,having heard the word, keep it, andbring forth fruit with patience.


30/87



1616161616 No man, when he hath lighted acandle, covereth it with a vessel, orputteth it under a bed; but setteth it ona candlestick, that they which enter inmay see the light.1717171717 For nothing is secret, that shall not

be made manifest; neither any thing hid,that shall not be known and come

abroad.1818181818Take heed therefore how ye hear: for

whosoever hath, to him shall be given;and whosoever hath not, from him shallbe taken even that which he seemeth tohave.1919191919Then came to him his mother and his

brethren, and could not come at him forthe press.2020202020And it was told him by certain which

said, Thy mother and thy brethren standwithout, desiring to see thee.2121212121And he answered and said unto them,My mother and my brethren are thesewhich hear the word of God, and do it.2222222222 Now it came to pass on a certain day,

that he went into a ship with hisdisciples: and he said unto them, Let usgo over unto the other side of the lake.And they launched forth.2323232323 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and

there came down a storm of wind on thelake; and they were filled with water,and were in jeopardy.2424242424And they came to him, and awoke him,saying, Master, master, we perish. Thenhe arose, and rebuked the wind and theraging of the water: and they ceased,and there was a calm.2525252525And he said unto them, Where is yourfaith? And they being afraid wondered,saying one to another, What manner ofman is this! for he commandeth eventhe winds and water, and they obey him.2626262626And they arrived at the country of theGadarenes, which is over againstGalilee.2727272727And when he went forth to land, theremet him out of the city a certain man,which had devils long time, and wareno clothes, neither abode in any house,but in the tombs.

2828282828When he saw Jesus, he cried out, andfell down before him, and with a loudvoice said, What have I to do with thee,Jesus, thou Son of God most high? Ibeseech thee, torment me not.2929292929 (For he had commanded the uncleanspirit to come out of the man. Foroftentimes it had caught him: and he

was kept bound with chains and infetters; and he brake the bands, and wasdriven of the devil into the wilderness.)3030303030And Jesus asked him, saying, What is

thy name? And he said, Legion: becausemany devils were entered into him.3131313131And they besought him that he wouldnot command them to go out into thedeep.3232323232And there was there an herd of many

swine feeding on the mountain: and theybesought him that he would suffer themto enter into them. And he sufferedthem.3333333333Then went the devils out of the man,and entered into the swine: and the herdran violently down a steep place into thelake, and were choked.3434343434When they that fed them saw what

was done, they fled, and went and toldit in the city and in the country.

3535353535Then they went out to see what wasdone; and came to Jesus, and found theman, out of whom the devils weredeparted, sitting at the feet of Jesus,clothed, and in his right mind: and theywere afraid.3636363636They also which saw it told them by

what means he that was possessed ofthe devils was healed.3737373737 Then the whole multitude of thecountry of the Gadarenes round aboutbesought him to depart from them; forthey were taken with great fear: and hewent up into the ship, and returned backagain.3838383838 Now the man out of whom the devils

were departed besought him that hemight be with him: but Jesus sent himaway, saying,3939393939 Return to thine own house, and shewhow great things God hath done unto


32/87



thee . And he went his way, andpublished throughout the whole cityhow great things Jesus had done untohim.4040404040And it came to pass, that, when Jesus

was returned, the people gladly receivedhim: for they were all waiting for him.4141414141And, behold, there came a man named

Jairus, and he was a ru ler of thesynagogue: and he fell down at Jesusfeet, and besought him that he wouldcome into his house:4242424242 For he had one only daughter, about

twelve years of age, and she lay a dying.But as he went the people thronged him.4343434343And a woman having an issue of blood

twelve years, which had spent all herliving upon physicians, neither could be

healed of any,4444444444 Came behind him, and touched theborder of his garment: and immediatelyher issue of blood stanched.4545454545And Jesus said, Who touched me?

When all denied, Peter and they thatwere wi th him sa id, Master, themultitude throng thee and press thee,and sayest thou, Who touched me?4646464646 And Jesus said , Somebody hath

touched me: for I perceive that virtue is

gone out of me.4747474747And when the woman saw that she

was not hid, she came trembling, andfalling down before him, she declaredunto him before all the people for whatcause she had touched him, and how shewas healed immediately.4848484848And he said unto her, Daughter, be ofgood comfort: thy faith hath made theewhole; go in peace.4949494949While he yet spake, there cometh onefrom the ruler of the synagogues house,saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;trouble not the Master.5050505050 But when Jesus heard it, he answeredhim, saying, Fear not: believe only, andshe shall be made whole.5151515151And when he came into the house, hesuffered no man to go in, save Peter,and James, and John, and the father andthe mother of the maiden.


33/87



5252525252And all wept, and bewailed her: buthe said, Weep not; she is not dead, butsleepeth.5353535353 And they laughed him to scorn,knowing that she was dead.5454545454And he put them all out, and took her

by the hand, and called, saying, Maid,arise.5555555555And her spirit came again, and shearose straightway: and he commandedto give her meat.5656565656And her parents were astonished: buthe charged them that they should tellno man what was done.

TTTTThen he called his twelve disciplestogether, and gave them power and

authority over all devils, and to curediseases.22222 And he sent them to preach thekingdom of God, and to heal the sick.33333And he said unto them, Take nothingfor your journey, neither staves, norscrip, neither bread, neither money;neither have two coats apiece.44444And whatsoever house ye enter into,

there abide, and thence depart.55555

And whosoever will not receive you,when ye go out of that city, shake offthe very dust from your feet for atestimony against them.66666And they departed, and went through

the towns, preaching the gospel, andhealing every where.77777 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all

that was done by him: and he wasperplexed, because that it was said ofsome, that John was risen from the dead;


34/87



88888And of some, that Elias had appeared;and of others, that one of the oldprophets was risen again.99999And Herod said, John have I beheaded:

but who is this, of whom I hear suchthings? And he desired to see him.1010101010And the apostles, when they werereturned, told him all that they had done.

And he took them, and went asideprivately into a desert place belongingto the city called Bethsaida.1111111111And the people, when they knew it,followed him: and he received them, andspake unto them of the kingdom of God,and healed them that had need ofhealing.1212121212And when the day began to wear away,

then came the twelve, and said unto him,

Send the multitude away, that they maygo into the towns and country roundabout, and lodge, and get victuals: forwe are here in a desert place.1313131313 But he said unto them, Give ye them

to eat. And they said, We have no morebut five loaves and two fishes; exceptwe should go and buy meat for all thispeople.1414141414 For they were about five thousandmen. And he said to his disciples, Make

them sit down by fifties in a company.1515151515And they did so, and made them allsit down.1616161616Then he took the five loaves and the

two fishes, and looking up to heaven,he blessed them, and brake, and gaveto the disciples to set before themultitude.1717171717And they did eat, and were all filled:and there was taken up of fragmentsthat remained to them twelve baskets.1818181818And it came to pass, as he was alonepraying, his disciples were with him: andhe asked them, saying, Whom say thepeople that I am?1919191919They answering said, John the Baptist;

but some say, Elias; and others say, thatone of the old prophets is risen again.2020202020 He said unto them, But whom say ye

that I am? Peter answering said, TheChrist of God.


35/87



2121212121And he straitly charged them, andcommanded them to tell no man thatthing;2222222222 Saying, The Son of man must suffermany things, and be rejected of theelders and chief priests and scribes, andbe slain, and be raised the third day.2323232323And he said to them all, If any man

will come after me, let him deny himself,and take up his cross daily, and followme.2424242424 For whosoever will save his life shalllose it: but whosoever will lose his lifefor my sake, the same shall save it.2525252525 For what is a man advantaged, if hegain the whole world, and lose himself,or be cast away?2626262626 For whosoever shall be ashamed of

me and of my words, of him shall theSon of man be ashamed, when he shallcome in his own glory, and in hisFathers, and of the holy angels.2727272727 But I tell you of a truth, there be somestanding here, which shall not taste ofdeath, till they see the kingdom of God.2828282828And it came to pass about an eightdays after these sayings, he took Peterand John and James, and went up into amountain to pray.

2929292929And as he prayed, the fashion of hiscountenance was altered, and hisraiment was white and glistering.3030303030And, behold, there talked with him twomen, which were Moses and Elias:3131313131Who appeared in glory, and spake ofhis decease which he should accomplishat Jerusalem.3232323232 But Peter and they that were with him

were heavy with sleep: and when theywere awake, they saw his glory, and thetwo men that stood with him.3333333333And it came to pass, as they departedfrom him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master,it is good for us to be here: and let usmake three tabernacles; one for thee,and one for Moses, and one for Elias:not knowing what he said.3434343434While he thus spake, there came acloud, and overshadowed them: and theyfeared as they entered into the cloud.


36/87



3535353535And there came a voice out of thecloud, saying, This is my beloved Son:hear him.3636363636And when the voice was past, Jesus

was found alone. And they kept it close,and told no man in those days any ofthose things which they had seen.3737373737And it came to pass, that on the next

day, when they were come down fromthe hill, much people met him.3838383838And, behold, a man of the companycried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee,look upon my son: for he is mine onlychild.3939393939And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and hesuddenly crieth out; and it teareth himthat he foameth again, and bruising himhardly departeth from him.4040404040

And I besought thy disciples to casthim out; and they could not.4141414141And Jesus answering said, O faithlessand perverse generation, how long shallI be with you, and suffer you? Bring thyson hither.4242424242And as he was yet a coming, the devil

threw him down, and tare him. AndJesus rebuked the unclean spirit, andhealed the child, and delivered him againto his father.

4343434343 And they were all amazed at themighty power of God. But while theywondered every one at all things whichJesus did, he said unto his disciples,4444444444 Let these sayings sink down into yourears: for the Son of man shall bedelivered into the hands of men.4545454545 But they understood not this saying,and it was hid from them, that theyperceived it not: and they feared to askhim of that saying.4646464646Then there arose a reasoning among

them, which of them should be greatest.4747474747And Jesus, perceiving the thought of

their heart, took a child, and set him byhim,4848484848And said unto them, Whosoever shallreceive this child in my name receivethme: and whosoever shall receive mereceiveth him that sent me: for he thatis least among you all, the same shall

be great.


37/87



4949494949And John answered and said, Master,we saw one casting out devils in thyname; and we forbad him, because hefolloweth not with us.5050505050And Jesus said unto him, Forbid himnot: for he that is not against us is forus.5151515151And it came to pass, when the time

was come that he should be received up,he stedfastly set his face to go toJerusalem,5252525252And sent messengers before his face:and they went, and entered into a villageof the Samaritans, to make ready forhim.5353535353And they did not receive him, becausehis face was as though he would go toJerusalem.5454545454

And when his disciples James andJohn saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thouthat we command fire to come downfrom heaven, and consume them, evenas Elias did?5555555555 But he turned, and rebuked them, andsaid, Ye know not what manner of spiritye are of.5656565656 For the Son of man is not come todestroy mens lives, but to save them.And they went to another village.

5757575757And it came to pass, that, as they wentin the way, a certain man said unto him,Lord, I will follow thee whithersoeverthou goest.5858585858And Jesus said unto him, Foxes haveholes, and birds of the air have nests;but the Son of man hath not where tolay his head.5959595959And he said unto another, Follow me.But he said, Lord, suffer me first to goand bury my father.6060606060Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury

their dead: but go thou and preach thekingdom of God.6161616161And another also said, Lord, I willfollow thee; but let me first go bid themfarewell, which are at home at my house.6262626262And Jesus said unto him, No man,having put his hand to the plough, andlooking back, is fit for the kingdom ofGod.

CHAPTER 10 Seventy disciples sent forth. (1-16) The blessedness of Christs disciples.

(17-24) The good Samaritan. (25-37)

Jesus at the house of Martha and Mary.(38-42)

AAAAAfter these things the LORD appointedother seventy also, and sent them twoand two before his face into every cityand place, whither he himself wouldcome.22222Therefore said he unto them, Theharvest truly is great, but the laborersare few: pray ye therefore the Lord ofthe harvest, that he would send forthlaborers into his harvest.33333 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth

as lambs among wolves.44444 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, norshoes: and salute no man by the way.55555And into whatsoever house ye enter,first say, Peace be to this house.66666And if the son of peace be there, yourpeace shall rest upon it: if not, it shallturn to you again.77777And in the same house remain, eatingand drinking such things as they give:

for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Gonot from house to house.88888And into whatsoever city ye enter, and

they receive you, eat such things as areset before you:99999And heal the sick that are therein, andsay unto them, The kingdom of God iscome nigh unto you.1010101010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and

they receive you not, go your ways outinto the streets of the same, and say,

1111111111 Even the very dust of your city, whichcleaveth on us, we do wipe off againstyou: notwithstanding be ye sure of this,that the kingdom of God is come nighunto you.1212121212 But I say unto you, that it shall bemore tolerable in that day for Sodom,than for that city.1313131313Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto

thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty workshad been done in Tyre and Sidon, which


39/87



have been done in you, they had a greatwhile ago repented, sitting in sackclothand ashes.1414141414 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyreand Sidon at the judgment, than for you.1515151515 And thou, Capernaum, which artexalted to heaven, shalt be thrust downto hell.1616161616 He that heareth you heareth me; andhe that despiseth you despiseth me; andhe that despiseth me despiseth him thatsent me.1717171717And the seventy returned again with

joy, saying, Lord, even the devils aresubject unto us through thy name.1818181818And he said unto them, I beheld Satanas lightning fall from heaven.1919191919 Behold, I give unto you power to tread

on serpents and scorpions, and over allthe power of the enemy: and nothingshall by any means hurt you.2020202020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,

that the spirits are subject unto you; butrather rejoice, because your names arewritten in heaven.2121212121 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit,and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lordof heaven and earth, that thou hast hidthese things from the wise and prudent,

and hast revealed them unto babes: evenso, Father; for so it seemed good in thysight.2222222222All things are delivered to me of myFather: and no man knoweth who theSon is, but the Father; and who theFather is, but the Son, and he to whomthe Son will reveal him.2323232323And he turned him unto his disciples,and said privately, Blessed are the eyeswhich see the things that ye see:2424242424 For I tell you, that many prophets andkings have desired to see those thingswhich ye see, and have not seen them;and to hear those things which ye hear,and have not heard them.2525252525And, behold, a certain lawyer stoodup, and tempted him, saying, Master,what shall I do to inherit eternal life?2626262626 He said unto him, What is written in

the law? how readest thou?


40/87



2727272727And he answering said, Thou shaltlove the Lord thy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul, and with all thystrength, and with all thy mind; and thyneighbor as thyself.2828282828And he said unto him, Thou hastanswered right: this do, and thou shaltlive.2929292929 But he, willing to justify himself, saidunto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?3030303030And Jesus answering said, A certainman went down from Jerusalem toJericho, and fell among thieves, whichstripped him of his raiment, andwounded him, and departed, leaving himhalf dead.3131313131And by chance there came down acertain priest that way: and when he

saw him, he passed by on the other side.3232323232And likewise a Levite, when he wasat the place, came and looked on him,and passed by on the other side.3333333333 But a certain Samaritan, as he

journeyed, came where he was: andwhen he saw him, he had compassionon him,3434343434And went to him, and bound up his

wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and sethim on his own beast, and brought him

to an inn, and took care of him.3535353535And on the morrow when he departed,he took out two pence, and gave themto the host, and said unto him, Take careof him; and whatsoever thou spendestmore, when I come again, I will repaythee.3636363636Which now of these three, thinkest

thou, was neighbor unto him that fellamong the thieves?3737373737And he said, He that shewed mercyon him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go,and do thou likewise.3838383838 Now it came to pass, as they went,

that he entered into a certain village:and a certain woman named Marthareceived him into her house.3939393939And she had a sister called Mary,

which also sat at Jesus feet, and heardhis word.4040404040 But Martha was cumbered about much


41/87



serving, and came to him, and said,Lord, dost thou not care that my sisterhath left me to serve alone? bid hertherefore that she help me.4141414141And Jesus answered and said unto her,Martha, Martha, thou art careful andtroubled about many things:4242424242 But one thing is needful: and Mary

hath chosen that good part, which shallnot be taken away from her.

CHAPTER 11 The disciples taught to pray. (1-4)

Christ encourages being earnest in prayer.(5-13)

Christ casts out a devil, The blasphemy ofthe Pharisees. (14-26)

True happiness. (27,28)

Christ reproves the Jews. (29-36) He reproves the Pharisees. (37-54)

AAAAAnd it came to pass, that, as he waspraying in a certain place, when heceased, one of his disciples said untohim, Lord, teach us to pray, as John alsotaught his disciples.22222And he said unto them, When ye pray,say, Our Father which art in heaven,Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom

come. Thy will be done, as in heaven,so in earth.33333 Give us day by day our daily bread.44444And forgive us our sins; for we alsoforgive every one that is indebted to us.And lead us not into temptation; butdeliver us from evil.55555And he said unto them, Which of youshall have a friend, and shall go untohim at midnight, and say unto him,Friend, lend me three loaves;66666 For a friend of mine in his journey iscome to me, and I have nothing to setbefore him?77777And he from within shall answer andsay, Trouble me not: the door is nowshut, and my children are with me inbed; I cannot rise and give thee.88888 I say unto you, Though he will not riseand give him, because he is his friend,yet because of his importunity he will


42/87



rise and give him as many as he needeth.99999And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall

be given you; seek, and ye shall find;knock, and it shall be opened unto you.1010101010 For every one that asketh receiveth;and he that seeketh findeth; and to himthat knocketh it shall be opened.1111111111 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 givehim a serpent?1212121212 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offerhim a scorpion?1313131313 If ye then, being evil, know how togive good gifts unto your children: howmuch more shall your heavenly Fathergive the Holy Spirit to them that askhim?1414141414

And he was casting out a devil, and itwas dumb. And it came to pass, whenthe devil was gone out, the dumb spake;and the people wondered.1515151515 But some of them said, He casteth outdevils through Beelzebub the chief of thedevils.1616161616And others, tempting him, sought ofhim a sign from heaven.1717171717 But he, knowing their thoughts, saidunto them, Every kingdom divided

against itself is brought to desolation;and a house divided against a housefalleth.1818181818 If Satan also be divided againsthimself, how shall his kingdom stand?because ye say that I cast out devilsthrough Beelzebub.1919191919And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils,

by whom do your sons cast them out?therefore shall they be your judges.2020202020 But if I with the finger of God cast outdevils, no doubt the kingdom of God iscome upon you.2121212121When a strong man armed keepethhis palace, his goods are in peace:2222222222 But when a stronger than he shallcome upon him, and overcome him, hetaketh from him all his armor whereinhe trusted, and divideth his spoils.2323232323 He that is not with me is against me:and he that gathereth not with me

scattereth.


43/87



2424242424When the unclean spirit is gone outof a man, he walketh through dry places,seeking rest; and finding none, he saith,I will return unto my house whence Icame out.2525252525And when he cometh, he findeth itswept and garnished.2626262626Then goeth he, and taketh to him

seven other spirits more wicked thanhimself; and they enter in, and dwellthere: and the last state of that man isworse than the first.2727272727And it came to pass, as he spake these

things, a certain woman of the companylifted up her voice, and said unto him,Blessed is the womb that bare thee, andthe paps which thou hast sucked.2828282828 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are

they that hear the word of God, and keepit.2929292929And when the people were gathered

thick together, he began to say, This isan evil generation: they seek a sign; andthere shall no sign be given it, but thesign of Jonas the prophet.3030303030 For as Jonas was a sign unto theNinevites, so shall also the Son of manbe to this generation.3131313131The queen of the south shall rise up

in the judgment with the men of thisgeneration, and condemn them: for shecame from the utmost parts of the earthto hear the wisdom of Solomon; and,behold, a greater than Solomon is here.3232323232The men of Nineve shall rise up in the

judgment with this generation, and shallcondemn it: for they repented at thepreaching of Jonas; and, behold, agreater than Jonas is here.3333333333 No man, when he hath lighted acandle, putteth it in a secret place,neither under a bushel, but on acandlestick, that they which come inmay see the light.3434343434 The light of the body is the eye:

therefore when thine eye is single, thywhole body also is full of light; but whenthine eye is evil, thy body also is full ofdarkness.3535353535Take heed therefore that the light


44/87



which is in thee be not darkness.3636363636 If thy whole body therefore be full oflight, having no part dark, the wholeshall be full of light, as when the brightshining of a candle doth give thee light.3737373737And as he spake, a certain Pharisee

besought him to dine with him: and hewent in, and sat down to meat.3838383838And when the Pharisee saw it, hemarvelled that he had not first washedbefore dinner.3939393939And the Lord said unto him, Now do

ye Pharisees make clean the outside ofthe cup and the platter; but your inwardpart is full of ravening and wickedness.4040404040Ye fools, did not he that made that

which is without make that which iswithin also?4141414141

But rather give alms of such thingsas ye have; and, behold, all things areclean unto you.4242424242 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye

tithe mint and rue and all manner ofherbs, and pass over judgment and thelove of God: these ought ye to have done,and not to leave the other undone.4343434343Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love

the uppermost seats in the synagogues,and greetings in the markets.

4444444444Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,hypocrites! for ye are as graves whichappear not, and the men that walk overthem are not aware of them.4545454545Then answered one of the lawyers,and said unto him, Master, thus sayingthou reproachest us also.4646464646And he said, Woe unto you also, yelawyers! for ye lade men with burdensgrievous to be born, and ye yourselvestouch not the burdens with one of yourfingers.4747474747 Woe unto you! for ye bu ild thesepulchres of the prophets, and yourfathers killed them.4848484848Truly ye bear witness that ye allow

the deeds of your fathers: for they indeedkilled them, and ye build theirsepulchres.4949494949Therefore also said the wisdom of God,I will send them prophets and apostles,


45/87



and some of them they shall slay andpersecute:5050505050That the blood of all the prophets,

which was shed from the foundation ofthe world, may be required of thisgeneration;5151515151 From the blood of Abel unto the bloodof Zacharias which perished between

the altar and the temple: verily I sayunto you, It shall be required of thisgeneration.5252525252Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have

taken away the key of knowledge: yeentered not in yourselves, and them thatwere entering in ye hindered.5353535353And as he said these things unto them,

the scribes and the Pharisees began tourge him vehemently, and to provoke

him to speak of many things:5454545454 Laying wait for him, and seeking tocatch something out of his mouth, thatthey might accuse him.
