word:
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


word:
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.


word:
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.


word:
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.


word:
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.


word:
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.


word:
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.


word:
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.


word:
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


word:
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.


word:
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.


word:
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:


word:
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:


word:
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:


word:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:


word:
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?


word:
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.


word:
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:


word:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.


word:
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?


word:
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.


word:
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.


word:
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,


word:
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.


word:
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.


word:
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.


word:
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.


word:
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?


word:
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.


word:
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.


word:
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.


word:
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.


word:
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.


word:
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.


word:
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.


word:
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.


word:
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.


word:
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.


word:
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.


word:
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.


word:
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?


word:
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


word:
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.


word:
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


word:
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.


word:
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.


word:
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.


word:
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.


word:
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.


word:
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?


word:
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.


word:
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.


word:
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.


word:
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.


word:
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;


word:
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,


word:
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?


word:
But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.


word:
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


word:
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.


word:
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,


word:
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.


word:
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.


word:
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.


word:
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.


word:
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:


word:
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,


word:
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.


word:
And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.


word:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;


word:
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.


word:
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?


word:
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.


word:
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.


word:
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.


word:
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.


word:
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.


word:
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.


word:
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.


word:
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.


word:
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!


word:
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.


word:
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.


word:
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.


word:
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.


word:
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.


word:
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.


word:
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


word:
And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.


word:
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;


word:
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.


word:
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.


word:
And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:


word:
Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.


word:
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:


word:
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.


word:
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,


word:
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.


word:
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.


word:
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.


word:
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.


word:
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.


word:
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.


word:
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.


word:
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.


word:
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.


word:
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.


word:
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,


word:
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.


word:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


word:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


word:
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.


word:
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.


word:
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;


word:
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.


word:
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.


word:
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:


word:
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.


word:
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,


word:
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.


word:
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.


word:
And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.


word:
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.


word:
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.


word:
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.


word:
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.


word:
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.


word:
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.


word:
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.


word:
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.


word:
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.


word:
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.


word:
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.


word:
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.


word:
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.


word:
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.


word:
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.


word:
And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.


word:
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.


word:
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?


word:
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?


word:
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)


word:
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.


word:
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.


word:
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.


word:
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?


word:
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


word:
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?


word:
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.


word:
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.


word:
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.


word:
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.


word:
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.


word:
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?


word:
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?


word:
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.


word:
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.


word:
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.


word:
But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,


word:
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.


word:
And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.


word:
For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.


word:
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.


word:
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:


word:
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,


word:
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.


word:
And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.


word:
No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.


word:
Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:


word:
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.


word:
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.


word:
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.


word:
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.


word:
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:


word:
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.


word:
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:


word:
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.


word:
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.


word:
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;


word:
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.


word:
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.


word:
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.


word:
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?


word:
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.


word:
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.


word:
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.


word:
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.


word:
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.


word:
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.


word:
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?


word:
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:


word:
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.


word:
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.


word:
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.


word:
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?


word:
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.


word:
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


word:
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,


word:
Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.


word:
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.


word:
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.


word:
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.


word:
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.


word:
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.


word:
And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.


word:
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.


word:
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.


word:
And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.


word:
And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.


word:
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,


word:
And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.


word:
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,


word:
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.


word:
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?


word:
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?


word:
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.


word:
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.


word:
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?


word:
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.


word:
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.


word:
And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.


word:
And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.


word:
And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.


word:
And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.


word:
And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.


word:
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?


word:
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.


word:
But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.


word:
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.


word:
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;


word:
And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:


word:
And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.


word:
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


word:
And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.


word:
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.


word:
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.


word:
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;


word:
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.


word:
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.


word:
And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.


word:
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.


word:
And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.


word:
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,


word:
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.


word:
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.


word:
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.


word:
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.


word:
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:


word:
Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.


word:
He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?


word:
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.


word:
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.


word:
And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.


word:
And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.


word:
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.


word:
And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.


word:
And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.


word:
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.


word:
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.


word:
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.


word:
And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.


word:
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?


word:
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.


word:
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.


word:
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


word:
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:


word:
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.


word:
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


word:
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:


word:
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.


word:
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.


word:
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;


word:
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?


word:
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:


word:
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.


word:
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:


word:
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.


word:
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.


word:
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.


word:
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.


word:
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.


word:
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.


word:
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;


word:
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;


word:
And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.


word:
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,


word:
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:


word:
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.


word:
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?


word:
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.


word:
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.


word:
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.


word:
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.


word:
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.


word:
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?


word:
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.


word:
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.


word:
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.


word:
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.


word:
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.


word:
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?


word:
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.


word:
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.


word:
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.


word:
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


word:
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.


word:
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


word:
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.


word:
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.


word:
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.


word:
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.


word:
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.


word:
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.


word:
And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.


word:
And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.


word:
But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.


word:
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.


word:
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.


word:
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;


word:
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.


word:
He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.


word:
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.


word:
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.


word:
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.


word:
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.


word:
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.


word:
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?


word:
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.


word:
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?


word:
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.


word:
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.


word:
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,


word:
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.


word:
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.


word:
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.


word:
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.


word:
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.


word:
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


word:
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


word:
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:


word:
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.


word:
And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.


word:
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.


word:
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.


word:
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.


word:
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


word:
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.


word:
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?


word:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.


word:
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.


word:
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


word:
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!


word:
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


word:
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.


word:
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,


word:
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.


word:
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,


word:
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:


word:
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.


word:
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.


word:
They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.


word:
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?


word:
And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:


word:
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.


word:
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.


word:
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.


word:
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.


word:
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.


word:
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.


word:
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.


word:
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.


word:
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,


word:
And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.


word:
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.


word:
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.


word:
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.


word:
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:


word:
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.


word:
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.


word:
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.


word:
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;


word:
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.


word:
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.


word:
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.


word:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.


word:
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


word:
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.


word:
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,


word:
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.


word:
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?


word:
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.


word:
And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.


word:
And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.


word:
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.


word:
And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.


word:
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.


word:
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'


word:
What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.


word:
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:


word:
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.


word:
And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?


word:
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.


word:
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.


word:
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.


word:
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.


word:
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.


word:
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?


word:
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.


word:
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?


word:
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?


word:
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:


word:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.


word:
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.


word:
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:


word:
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.


word:
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.


word:
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?


word:
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.


word:
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.


word:
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,


word:
Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.


word:
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.


word:
And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:


word:
For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.


word:
And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!


word:
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


word:
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,


word:
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?


word:
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.


word:
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.


word:
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.


word:
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.


word:
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.


word:
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


word:
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:


word:
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:


word:
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.


word:
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.


word:
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.


word:
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,


word:
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.


word:
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:


word:
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.


word:
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.


word:
For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.


word:
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:


word:
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.


word:
And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.


word:
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?


word:
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.


word:
For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.


word:
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.


word:
And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.


word:
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?


word:
And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.


word:
And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?


word:
And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.


word:
And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.


word:
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.


word:
And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.


word:
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.


word:
And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.


word:
And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.


word:
But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.


word:
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.


word:
And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.


word:
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.


word:
And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?


word:
And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.


word:
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


word:
And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.


word:
And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.


word:
And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?


word:
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.


word:
And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:


word:
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.


word:
And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.


word:
And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.


word:
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.


word:
And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?


word:
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?


word:
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


word:
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.


word:
And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.


word:
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.


word:
And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.


word:
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.


word:
And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.


word:
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.


word:
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.


word:
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.


word:
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?


word:
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.


word:
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.


word:
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.


word:
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.


word:
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.


word:
And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.


word:
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.


word:
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,


word:
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.


word:
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.


word:
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


word:
And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.


word:
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.


word:
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;


word:
(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.


word:
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,


word:
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.


word:
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.


word:
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.


word:
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.


word:
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.


word:
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.


word:
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.


word:
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.


word:
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.


word:
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.


word:
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.


word:
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;


word:
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


word:
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


word:
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


word:
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,


word:
Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;


word:
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,


word:
THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.


word:
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.


word:
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.


word:
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,


word:
According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.


word:
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.


word:
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.


word:
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.


word:
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.


word:
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.


word:
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.


word:
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.


word:
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.


word:
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.


word:
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.


word:
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.


word:
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.


word:
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:


word:
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.


word:
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.


word:
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.


word:
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:


word:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.


word:
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.


word:
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.


word:
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.


word:
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.


word:
And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.


word:
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.


word:
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.


word:
And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.


word:
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,


word:
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;


word:
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.


word:
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.


word:
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.


word:
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)


word:
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.


word:
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.


word:
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.


word:
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.


word:
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.


word:
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.


word:
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.


word:
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.


word:
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.


word:
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.


word:
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;


word:
(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)


word:
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.


word:
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.


word:
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.


word:
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,


word:
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;


word:
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.


word:
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;


word:
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.


word:
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.


word:
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.


word:
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.


word:
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.


word:
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.


word:
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.


word:
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.


word:
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?


word:
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.


word:
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,


word:
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.


word:
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;


word:
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.


word:
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;


word:
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?


word:
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.


word:
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.


word:
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.


word:
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.


word:
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;


word:
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:


word:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.


word:
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,


word:
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,


word:
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.


word:
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,


word:
Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,


word:
Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,


word:
Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,


word:
Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,


word:

word:
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,


word:
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.


word:
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.


word:
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.


word:
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


word:
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:


word:
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.


word:
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.


word:
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,


word:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,


word:
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.


word:
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?


word:
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.


word:
But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;


word:
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.


word:
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.


word:
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.


word:
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,


word:
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.


word:
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.


word:
And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.


word:
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.


word:
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.


word:
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.


word:
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.


word:
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.


word:
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,


word:
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.


word:
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.


word:
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.


word:
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.


word:
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.


word:
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.


word:
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:


word:
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.


word:
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.


word:
And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.


word:
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.


word:
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.


word:
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.


word:
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.


word:
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.


word:
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?


word:
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?


word:
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.


word:
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.


word:
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.


word:
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.


word:
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.


word:
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?


word:
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.


word:
And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?


word:
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?


word:
And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.


word:
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.


word:
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.


word:
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?


word:
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;


word:
How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?


word:
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.


word:
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.


word:
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.


word:
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?


word:
And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.


word:
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.


word:
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;


word:
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;


word:
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.


word:
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.


word:
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.


word:
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.


word:
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.


word:
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.


word:
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.


word:
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.


word:
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.


word:
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:


word:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.


word:
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?


word:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?


word:
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.


word:
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.


word:
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.


word:
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.


word:
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.


word:
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.


word:
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.


word:
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:


word:
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:


word:
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.


word:
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.


word:
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.


word:
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.


word:
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.


word:
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.


word:
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.


word:
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?


word:
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?


word:
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.


word:
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.


word:
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?


word:
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.


word:
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.


word:
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.


word:
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.


word:
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.


word:
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?


word:
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.


word:
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!


word:
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.


word:
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,


word:
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.


word:
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.


word:
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.


word:
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.


word:
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?


word:
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.


word:
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.


word:
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.


word:
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?


word:
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,


word:
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,


word:
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.


word:
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:


word:
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.


word:
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.


word:
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.


word:
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.


word:
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.


word:
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.


word:
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.


word:
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.


word:
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.


word:
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.


word:
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.


word:
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.


word:
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.


word:
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.


word:
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.


word:
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.


word:
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.


word:
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.


word:
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.


word:
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)


word:
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.


word:
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.


word:
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.


word:
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.


word:
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.


word:
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.


word:
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,


word:
Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.


word:
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.


word:
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:


word:
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.


word:
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,


word:
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.


word:
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?


word:
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.


word:
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.


word:
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.


word:
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.


word:
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.


word:
And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.


word:
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.


word:
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;


word:
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.


word:
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.


word:
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.


word:
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.


word:
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.


word:
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.


word:
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.


word:
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.


word:
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?


word:
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.


word:
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.


word:
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.


word:
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.


word:
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.


word:
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.


word:
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.


word:
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.


word:
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.


word:
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.


word:
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.


word:
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.


word:
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.


word:
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.


word:
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.


word:
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.


word:
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.


word:
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,


word:
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.


word:
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.


word:
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.


word:
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.


word:
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,


word:
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.


word:
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?


word:
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.


word:
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.


word:
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.


word:
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.


word:
After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.


word:
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.


word:
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.


word:
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.


word:
But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,


word:
Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.


word:
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.


word:
He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.


word:
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.


word:
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


word:
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.


word:
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.


word:
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.


word:
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:


word:
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.


word:
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


word:
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.


word:
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.


word:
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.


word:
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.


word:
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,


word:
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.


word:
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.


word:
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.


word:
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.


word:
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:


word:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.


word:
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.


word:
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.


word:
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;


word:
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.


word:
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.


word:
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.


word:
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?


word:
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?


word:
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.


word:
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.


word:
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.


word:
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.


word:
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.


word:
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.


word:
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


word:
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.


word:
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.


word:
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.


word:
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.


word:
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.


word:
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.


word:
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.


word:
And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.


word:
And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.


word:
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.


word:
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.


word:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.


word:
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.


word:
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.


word:
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:


word:
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;


word:
From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.


word:
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.


word:
And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:


word:
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.


word:
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.


word:
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.


word:
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.


word:
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.


word:
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:


word:
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.


word:
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:


word:
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.


word:
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.


word:
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:


word:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?


word:
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.


word:
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.


word:
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?


word:
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.


word:
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?


word:
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.


word:
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?


word:
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.


word:
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.


word:
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.


word:
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.


word:
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.


word:
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.


word:
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?


word:
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;


word:
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.


word:
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.


word:
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.


word:
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.


word:
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.


word:
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.


word:
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?


word:
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.


word:
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.


word:
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?


word:
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?


word:
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.


word:
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?


word:
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:


word:
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.


word:
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.


word:
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.


word:
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?


word:
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?


word:
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.


word:
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.


word:
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.


word:
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.


word:
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:


word:
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.


word:
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.


word:
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.


word:
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.


word:
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.


word:
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.


word:
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.


word:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!


word:
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


word:
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.


word:
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?


word:
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?


word:
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.


word:
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;


word:
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.


word:
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.


word:
Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.


word:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.


word:
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.


word:
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.


word:
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.


word:
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.


word:
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.


word:
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.


word:
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.


word:
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?


word:
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,


word:
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?


word:
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.


word:
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.


word:
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?


word:
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.


word:
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.


word:
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?


word:
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.


word:
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.


word:
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.


word:
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.


word:
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.


word:
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.


word:
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!


word:
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,


word:
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.


word:
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.


word:
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:


word:
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.


word:
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.


word:
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.


word:
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:


word:
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.


word:
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.


word:
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.


word:
And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.


word:
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.


word:
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.


word:
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?


word:
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.


word:
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.


word:
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.


word:
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.


word:
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.


word:
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?


word:
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?


word:
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


word:
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.


word:
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.


word:
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.


word:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:


word:
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.


word:
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;


word:
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.


word:
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.


word:
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.


word:
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.


word:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.


word:
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.


word:
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!


word:
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.


word:
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.


word:
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.


word:
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.


word:
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?


word:
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?


word:
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.


word:
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.


word:
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:


word:
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.


word:
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:


word:
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.


word:
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.


word:
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.


word:
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;


word:
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.


word:
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.


word:
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.


word:
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.


word:
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.


word:
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;


word:
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?


word:
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?


word:
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:


word:
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.


word:
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.


word:
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.


word:
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.


word:
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


word:
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.


word:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.


word:
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.


word:
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


word:
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.


word:
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,


word:
Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.


word:
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.


word:
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:


word:
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.


word:
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:


word:
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.


word:
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.


word:
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.


word:
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.


word:
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.


word:
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.


word:
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.


word:
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.


word:
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.


word:
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.


word:
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.


word:
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.


word:
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.


word:
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.


word:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.


word:
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:


word:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?


word:
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.


word:
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.


word:
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.


word:
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,


word:
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.


word:
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.


word:
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.


word:
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;


word:
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.


word:
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.


word:
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.


word:
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,


word:
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.


word:
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.


word:
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,


word:
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,


word:
And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?


word:
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?


word:
But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.


word:
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.


word:
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.


word:
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.


word:
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.


word:
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.


word:
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?


word:
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.


word:
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?


word:
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.


word:
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.


word:
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.


word:
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:


word:
And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.


word:
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.


word:
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,


word:
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.


word:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:


word:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.


word:
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.


word:
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,


word:
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;


word:
Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.


word:
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.


word:
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


word:
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?


word:
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.


word:
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.


word:
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.


word:
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.


word:
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.


word:
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.


word:
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.


word:
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.


word:
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.


word:
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.


word:
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;


word:
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.


word:
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


word:
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.


word:
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.


word:
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.


word:
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.


word:
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.


word:
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.


word:
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?


word:
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.


word:
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.


word:
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.


word:
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.


word:
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.


word:
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.


word:
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:


word:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.


word:
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.


word:
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.


word:
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.


word:
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.


word:
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.


word:
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.


word:
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.


word:
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.


word:
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?


word:
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?


word:
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.


word:
Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.


word:
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.


word:
But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.


word:
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.


word:
And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.


word:
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.


word:
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.


word:
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?


word:
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,


word:
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.


word:
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.


word:
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.


word:
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.


word:
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.


word:
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.


word:
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.


word:
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:


word:
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.


word:
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.


word:
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.


word:
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.


word:
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.


word:
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.


word:
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.


word:
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.


word:
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.


word:
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.


word:
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.


word:
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.


word:
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?


word:
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.


word:
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.


word:
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.


word:
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.


word:
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.


word:
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.


word:
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.


word:
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.


word:
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.


word:
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.


word:
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:


word:
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?


word:
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.


word:
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.


word:
Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.


word:
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.


word:
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.


word:
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?


word:
And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?


word:
And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:


word:
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.


word:
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.


word:
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.


word:
And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.


word:
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.


word:
And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.


word:
But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.


word:
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.


word:
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?


word:
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,


word:
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.


word:
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.


word:
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.


word:
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:


word:
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.


word:
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.


word:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


word:
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


word:
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.


word:
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.


word:
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?


word:
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.


word:
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?


word:
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.


word:
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?


word:
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;


word:
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.


word:
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


word:
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.


word:
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.


word:
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.


word:
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.


word:
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?


word:
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.


word:
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.


word:
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.


word:
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.


word:
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.


word:
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.


word:
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!


word:
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.


word:
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.


word:
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.


word:
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.


word:
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,


word:
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.


word:
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.


word:
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.


word:
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:


word:
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;


word:
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.


word:
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?


word:
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?


word:
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.


word:
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.


word:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.


word:
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


word:
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?


word:
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


word:
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.


word:
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?


word:
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.


word:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


word:
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


word:
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


word:
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


word:
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.


word:
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


word:
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.


word:
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.


word:
And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.


word:
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.


word:
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.


word:
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.


word:
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


word:
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,


word:
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.


word:
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.


word:
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.


word:
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.


word:
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?


word:
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?


word:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


word:
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:


word:
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.


word:
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.


word:
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.


word:
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.


word:
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.


word:
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?


word:
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.


word:
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.


word:
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.


word:
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.


word:
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.


word:
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.


word:
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.


word:
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.


word:
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.


word:
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.


word:
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.


word:
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.


word:
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.


word:
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.


word:
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.


word:
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?


word:
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.


word:
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.


word:
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.


word:
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.


word:
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.


word:
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.


word:
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.


word:
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


word:
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


word:
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.


word:
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


word:
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,


word:
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


word:
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.


word:
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.


word:
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.


word:
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.


word:
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.


word:
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.


word:
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?


word:
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.


word:
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.


word:
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?


word:
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.


word:
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?


word:
And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.


word:
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.


word:
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.


word:
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.


word:
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.


word:
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.


word:
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.


word:
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.


word:
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.


word:
The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;


word:
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)


word:
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.


word:
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?


word:
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.


word:
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.


word:
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.


word:
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?


word:
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.


word:
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


word:
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.


word:
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.


word:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.


word:
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?


word:
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.


word:
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.


word:
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.


word:
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.


word:
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.


word:
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.


word:
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.


word:
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?


word:
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?


word:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


word:
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.


word:
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.


word:
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.


word:
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.


word:
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.


word:
For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.


word:
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.


word:
But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.


word:
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.


word:
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.


word:
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.


word:
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.


word:
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?


word:
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?


word:
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.


word:
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?


word:
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.


word:
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?


word:
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?


word:
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


word:
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.


word:
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


word:
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?


word:
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?


word:
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.


word:
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.


word:
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,


word:
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.


word:
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.


word:
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.


word:
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?


word:
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


word:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.


word:
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.


word:
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.


word:
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.


word:
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.


word:
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.


word:
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.


word:
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.


word:
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.


word:
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.


word:
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;


word:
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?


word:
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.


word:
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.


word:
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.


word:
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.


word:
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.


word:
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


word:
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?


word:
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.


word:
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?


word:
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:


word:
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.


word:
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


word:
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


word:
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.


word:
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


word:
And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


word:
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?


word:
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.


word:
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.


word:
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.


word:
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.


word:
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.


word:
But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.


word:
These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.


word:
Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.


word:
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.


word:
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?


word:
The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.


word:
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.


word:
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.


word:
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?


word:
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.


word:
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?


word:
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.


word:
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.


word:
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.


word:
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.


word:
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.


word:
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.


word:
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


word:
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.


word:
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.


word:
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.


word:
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?


word:
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.


word:
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.


word:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.


word:
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.


word:
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?


word:
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.


word:
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?


word:
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


word:
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.


word:
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)


word:
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.


word:
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.


word:
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?


word:
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.


word:
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.


word:
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.


word:
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.


word:
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.


word:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:


word:
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.


word:
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.


word:
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.


word:
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.


word:
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.


word:
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?


word:
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.


word:
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.


word:
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?


word:
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.


word:
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.


word:
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.


word:
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.


word:
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.


word:
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,


word:
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.


word:
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;


word:
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.


word:
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.


word:
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.


word:
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?


word:
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.


word:
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.


word:
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.


word:
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.


word:
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.


word:
Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.


word:
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,


word:
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.


word:
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.


word:
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.


word:
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.


word:
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.


word:
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.


word:
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.


word:
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.


word:
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.


word:
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.


word:
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?


word:
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.


word:
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.


word:
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?


word:
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.


word:
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:


word:
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.


word:
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.


word:
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.


word:
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.


word:
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.


word:
And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;


word:
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;


word:
After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.


word:
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.


word:
Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.


word:
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.


word:
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.


word:
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.


word:
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.


word:
For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.


word:
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.


word:
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.


word:
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.


word:
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


word:
Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.


word:
Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.


word:
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.


word:
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


word:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


word:
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.


word:
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?


word:
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.


word:
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.


word:
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.


word:
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;


word:
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


word:
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.


word:
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


word:
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?


word:
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.


word:
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.


word:
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


word:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


word:
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.


word:
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.


word:
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.


word:
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.


word:
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


word:
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.


word:
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.


word:
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.


word:
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.


word:
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.


word:
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.


word:
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.


word:
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.


word:
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.


word:
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.


word:
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.


word:
If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.


word:
But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.


word:
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:


word:
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.


word:
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.


word:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


word:
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


word:
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.


word:
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.


word:
Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?


word:
Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.


word:
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.


word:
And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.


word:
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.


word:
These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.


word:
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.


word:
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.


word:
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.


word:
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.


word:
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


word:
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:


word:
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.


word:
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


word:
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


word:
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.


word:
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.


word:
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.


word:
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.


word:
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.


word:
And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.


word:
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


word:
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.


word:
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.


word:
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


word:
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.


word:
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.


word:
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.


word:
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.


word:
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.


word:
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.


word:
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?


word:
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.


word:
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.


word:
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?


word:
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.


word:
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.


word:
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.


word:
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.


word:
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.


word:
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.


word:
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.


word:
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.


word:
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?


word:
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?


word:
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.


word:
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?


word:
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.


word:
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.


word:
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:


word:
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?


word:
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?


word:
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.


word:
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.


word:
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.


word:
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?


word:
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,


word:
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.


word:
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!


word:
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.


word:
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.


word:
And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.


word:
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?


word:
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.


word:
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.


word:
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.


word:
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!


word:
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.


word:
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:


word:
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.


word:
This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.


word:
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.


word:
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.


word:
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.


word:
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.


word:
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!


word:
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.


word:
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.


word:
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.


word:
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.


word:
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.


word:
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.


word:
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.


word:
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.


word:
For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.


word:
And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.


word:
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.


word:
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.


word:
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.


word:
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.


word:
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.


word:
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.


word:
So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.


word:
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,


word:
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.


word:
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,


word:
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.


word:
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.


word:
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.


word:
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.


word:
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.


word:
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


word:
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.


word:
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.


word:
And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.


word:
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.


word:
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.


word:
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.


word:
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.


word:
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.


word:
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:


word:
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.


word:
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.


word:
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.


word:
Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.


word:
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.


word:
And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.


word:
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.


word:
And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.


word:
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.


word:
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.


word:
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.


word:
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.


word:
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.


word:
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


word:
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


word:
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.


word:
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.


word:
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?


word:
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?


word:
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.


word:
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


word:
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:


word:
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:


word:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.


word:
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.


word:
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?


word:
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.


word:
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


word:
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.


word:
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;


word:
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.


word:
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.


word:
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.


word:
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.


word:
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)


word:
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.


word:
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.


word:
And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.


word:
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.


word:
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,


word:
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.


word:
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,


word:
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.


word:
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.


word:
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.


word:
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


word:
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.


word:
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?


word:
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,


word:
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,


word:
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:


word:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:


word:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:


word:
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:


word:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:


word:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:


word:
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:


word:
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.


word:
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:


word:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.


word:
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.


word:
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;


word:
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.


word:
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.


word:
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,


word:
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.


word:
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?


word:
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


word:
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.


word:
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.


word:
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.


word:
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.


word:
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,


word:
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.


word:
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;


word:
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.


word:
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.


word:
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.


word:
And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.


word:
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.


word:
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?


word:
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.


word:
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.


word:
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.


word:
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.


word:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.


word:
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.


word:
And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.


word:
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.


word:
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.


word:
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.


word:
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,


word:
Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.


word:
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.


word:
And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.


word:
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?


word:
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,


word:
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;


word:
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.


word:
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


word:
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.


word:
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.


word:
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.


word:
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.


word:
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.


word:
And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.


word:
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:


word:
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?


word:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.


word:
For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,


word:
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,


word:
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.


word:
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.


word:
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.


word:
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.


word:
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,


word:
And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.


word:
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,


word:
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.


word:
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?


word:
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.


word:
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.


word:
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.


word:
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.


word:
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.


word:
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.


word:
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.


word:
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.


word:
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,


word:
And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.


word:
Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.


word:
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.


word:
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.


word:
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.


word:
Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.


word:
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.


word:
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.


word:
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;


word:
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.


word:
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.


word:
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.


word:
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:


word:
And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.


word:
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.


word:
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.


word:
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.


word:
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.


word:
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:


word:
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.


word:
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.


word:
Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.


word:
And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,


word:
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:


word:
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.


word:
And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.


word:
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,


word:
And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.


word:
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.


word:
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.


word:
And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.


word:
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.


word:
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.


word:
And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.


word:
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.


word:
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.


word:
Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.


word:
And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.


word:
But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,


word:
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.


word:
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:


word:
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.


word:
And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:


word:
For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.


word:
And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?


word:
But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?


word:
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.


word:
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,


word:
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.


word:
Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.


word:
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.


word:
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.


word:
He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.


word:
This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.


word:
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:


word:
To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,


word:
Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.


word:
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.


word:
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?


word:
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.


word:
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.


word:
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;


word:
Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?


word:
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.


word:
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:


word:
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,


word:
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.


word:
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.


word:
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.


word:
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.


word:
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.


word:
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.


word:
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:


word:
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.


word:
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.


word:
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.


word:
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:


word:
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)


word:
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,


word:
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.


word:
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.


word:
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.


word:
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.


word:
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.


word:
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,


word:
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?


word:
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.


word:
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:


word:
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.


word:
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?


word:
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?


word:
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.


word:
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.


word:
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.


word:
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.


word:
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,


word:
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.


word:
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:


word:
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.


word:
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.


word:
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.


word:
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.


word:
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,


word:
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.


word:
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:


word:
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:


word:
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.


word:
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.


word:
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.


word:
But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?


word:
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.


word:
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.


word:
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.


word:
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.


word:
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.


word:
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.


word:
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.


word:
And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.


word:
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.


word:
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.


word:
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.


word:
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.


word:
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.


word:
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.


word:
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,


word:
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.


word:
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.


word:
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.


word:
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.


word:
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;


word:
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:


word:
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:


word:
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.


word:
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.


word:
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,


word:
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?


word:
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.


word:
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.


word:
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.


word:
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.


word:
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?


word:
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,


word:
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.


word:
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.


word:
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.


word:
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)


word:
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;


word:
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.


word:
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:


word:
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.


word:
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.


word:
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.


word:
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.


word:
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?


word:
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.


word:
And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.


word:
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:


word:
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.


word:
And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.


word:
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:


word:
And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;


word:
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.


word:
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?


word:
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.


word:
Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.


word:
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.


word:
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.


word:
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.


word:
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.


word:
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.


word:
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.


word:
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:


word:
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)


word:
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.


word:
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.


word:
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.


word:
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.


word:
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.


word:
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.


word:
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.


word:
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.


word:
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.


word:
And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.


word:
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.


word:
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.


word:
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.


word:
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.


word:
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.


word:
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.


word:
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.


word:
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.


word:
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.


word:
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.


word:
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.


word:
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:


word:
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.


word:
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.


word:
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?


word:
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.


word:
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.


word:
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.


word:
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.


word:
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.


word:
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.


word:
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.


word:
And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.


word:
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.


word:
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.


word:
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.


word:
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.


word:
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.


word:
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.


word:
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.


word:
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.


word:
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.


word:
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.


word:
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:


word:
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:


word:
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.


word:
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.


word:
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.


word:
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.


word:
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.


word:
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.


word:
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.


word:
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.


word:
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.


word:
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

word:
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.


word:
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,


word:
They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:


word:
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:


word:
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,


word:
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.


word:
Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.


word:
Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,


word:
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:


word:
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.


word:
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.


word:
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.


word:
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.


word:
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,


word:
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.


word:
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.


word:
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.


word:
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.


word:
And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.


word:
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.


word:
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.


word:
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.


word:
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.


word:
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.


word:
And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;


word:
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?


word:
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.


word:
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.


word:
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:


word:
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.


word:
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:


word:
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.


word:
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.


word:
Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:


word:
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.


word:
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:


word:
It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,


word:
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;


word:
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.


word:
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:


word:
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.


word:
And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.


word:
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.


word:
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.


word:
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.


word:
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;


word:
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:


word:
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.


word:
And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.


word:
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,


word:
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.


word:
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.


word:
Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;


word:
And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.


word:
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.


word:
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.


word:
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.


word:
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:


word:
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.


word:
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.


word:
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,


word:
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,


word:
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.


word:
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:


word:
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.


word:
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.


word:
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.


word:
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.


word:
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.


word:
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.


word:
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.


word:
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.


word:
And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.


word:
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:


word:
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,


word:
Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.


word:
And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.


word:
But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.


word:
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;


word:
Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.


word:
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.


word:
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.


word:
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.


word:
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.


word:
And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.


word:
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.


word:
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.


word:
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.


word:
And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?


word:
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.


word:
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)


word:
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.


word:
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.


word:
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;


word:
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;


word:
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;


word:
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:


word:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.


word:
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.


word:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.


word:
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.


word:
Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.


word:
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.


word:
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.


word:
And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.


word:
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.


word:
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.


word:
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.


word:
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:


word:
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,


word:
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:


word:
But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.


word:
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.


word:
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.


word:
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.


word:
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.


word:
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.


word:
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.


word:
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.


word:
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.


word:
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:


word:
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.


word:
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,


word:
He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.


word:
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.


word:
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.


word:
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.


word:
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.


word:
And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.


word:
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.


word:
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.


word:
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.


word:
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.


word:
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.


word:
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.


word:
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.


word:
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;


word:
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.


word:
Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:


word:
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.


word:
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.


word:
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.


word:
And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.


word:
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.


word:
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.


word:
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.


word:
And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?


word:
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.


word:
For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.


word:
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.


word:
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.


word:
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.


word:
And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.


word:
And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.


word:
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.


word:
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.


word:
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.


word:
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.


word:
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.


word:
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.


word:
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.


word:
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.


word:
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,


word:
Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:


word:
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,


word:
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.


word:
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:


word:
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.


word:
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.


word:
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.


word:
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.


word:
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.


word:
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.


word:
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.


word:
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.


word:
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.


word:
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.


word:
And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:


word:
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.


word:
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.


word:
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.


word:
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.


word:
And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.


word:
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.


word:
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.


word:
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.


word:
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.


word:
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.


word:
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:


word:
And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.


word:
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.


word:
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.


word:
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.


word:
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.


word:
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,


word:
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.


word:
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)


word:
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.


word:
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.


word:
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.


word:
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.


word:
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.


word:
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.


word:
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?


word:
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?


word:
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.


word:
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,


word:
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)


word:
I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.


word:
As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.


word:
And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.


word:
And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.


word:
And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.


word:
And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.


word:
And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.


word:
And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,


word:
Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.


word:
And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.


word:
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.


word:
And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;


word:
And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.


word:
And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:


word:
And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.


word:
And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.


word:
The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.


word:
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?


word:
When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.


word:
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.


word:
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.


word:
On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.


word:
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.


word:
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?


word:
Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.


word:
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.


word:
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.


word:
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.


word:
And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.


word:
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.


word:
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.


word:
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.


word:
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.


word:
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.


word:
And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.


word:
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.


word:
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.


word:
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?


word:
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.


word:
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.


word:
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.


word:
And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;


word:
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.


word:
And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:


word:
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.


word:
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.


word:
Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.


word:
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;


word:
I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.


word:
And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.


word:
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,


word:
Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.


word:
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:


word:
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.


word:
Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.


word:
Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:


word:
Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.


word:
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:


word:
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:


word:
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.


word:
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.


word:
Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.


word:
Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,


word:
Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.


word:
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.


word:
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.


word:
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.


word:
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.


word:
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.


word:
But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.


word:
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.


word:
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.


word:
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.


word:
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.


word:
And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.


word:
And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.


word:
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.


word:
But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?


word:
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.


word:
For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.


word:
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.


word:
And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:


word:
About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.


word:
To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.


word:
Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.


word:
But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.


word:
And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.


word:
But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.


word:
Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.


word:
And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.


word:
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.


word:
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.


word:
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.


word:
For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.


word:
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:


word:
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:


word:
Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.


word:
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;


word:
Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.


word:
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.


word:
I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.


word:
Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.


word:
And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.


word:
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.


word:
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.


word:
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;


word:
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.


word:
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.


word:
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:


word:
That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.


word:
And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.


word:
For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.


word:
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.


word:
And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:


word:
And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.


word:
Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.


word:
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.


word:
And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.


word:
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.


word:
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;


word:
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.


word:
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,


word:
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.


word:
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.


word:
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.


word:
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.


word:
Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.


word:
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.


word:
But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.


word:
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.


word:
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.


word:
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;


word:
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.


word:
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.


word:
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,


word:
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.


word:
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.


word:
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.


word:
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.


word:
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.


word:
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.


word:
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:


word:
And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.


word:
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.


word:
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.


word:
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.


word:
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.


word:
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.


word:
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.


word:
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.


word:
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.


word:
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:


word:
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.


word:
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.


word:
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.


word:
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.


word:
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.


word:
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.


word:
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.


word:
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.


word:
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.


word:
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,


word:
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:


word:
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.


word:
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.


word:
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.


word:
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;


word:
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:


word:
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:


word:
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.


word:
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.


word:
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;


word:
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.


word:
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;


word:
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.


word:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.


word:
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.


word:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;


word:
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:


word:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.


word:
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


word:
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:


word:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.


word:
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:


word:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.


word:
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


word:
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,


word:
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,


word:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


word:
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.


word:
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.


word:
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?


word:
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?


word:
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;


word:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:


word:
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,


word:
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;


word:
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:


word:
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;


word:
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:


word:
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)


word:
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;


word:
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,


word:
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.


word:
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?


word:
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?


word:
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.


word:
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?


word:
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?


word:
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:


word:
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.


word:
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.


word:
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)


word:
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?


word:
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.


word:
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;


word:
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.


word:
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:


word:
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.


word:
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.


word:
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;


word:
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:


word:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;


word:
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.


word:
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.


word:
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.


word:
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,


word:
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.


word:
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.


word:
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:


word:
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.


word:
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.


word:
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,


word:
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.


word:
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.


word:
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:


word:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;


word:
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;


word:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


word:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.


word:
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.


word:
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.


word:
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.


word:
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:


word:
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.


word:
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.


word:
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.


word:
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)


word:
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.


word:
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.


word:
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:


word:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.


word:
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


word:
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:


word:
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.


word:
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.


word:
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.


word:
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?


word:
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.


word:
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.


word:
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.


word:
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.


word:
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?


word:
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.


word:
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.


word:
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.


word:
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.


word:
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.


word:
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.


word:
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.


word:
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.


word:
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.


word:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.


word:
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


word:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


word:
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:


word:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


word:
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.


word:
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.


word:
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.


word:
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


word:
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.


word:
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.


word:
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.


word:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.


word:
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.


word:
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,


word:
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.


word:
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.


word:
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?


word:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


word:
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.


word:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.


word:
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.


word:
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.


word:
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?


word:
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.


word:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?


word:
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.


word:
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,


word:
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


word:
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:


word:
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;


word:
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.


word:
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:


word:
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.


word:
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.


word:
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)


word:
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.


word:
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.


word:
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?


word:
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?


word:
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:


word:
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,


word:
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.


word:
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.


word:
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:


word:
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.


word:
And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.


word:
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.


word:
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.


word:
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;


word:
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


word:
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.


word:
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.


word:
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)


word:
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;


word:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.


word:
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


word:
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.


word:
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?


word:
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!


word:
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.


word:
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.


word:
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.


word:
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.


word:
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.


word:
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,


word:
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.


word:
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.


word:
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.


word:
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.


word:
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.


word:
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:


word:
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.


word:
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?


word:
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?


word:
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
