| CH. VII. 11-53. CH. VIII. 1. | |
| 11 Then the Jews sought him at
the feast, and said, Where is he? | |
| 12 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. | |
| 13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of
him, for fear of the Jews. | |
| 14 Now, about the midst of the
feast, Jesus went up into the temple
and taught. | |
| 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying,
How knoweth this man letters, having
never learned? | |
| 16 Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but his that
sent me. | |
| 17 If any man will do his will, he
shall know of the doctrine, whether
it be of God, or whether I speak of
myself. | |
| 18 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. | |
| 19 Did not Moses give you the law,
and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Why go ye about to kill me? | |
| 20 The people answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who goeth about
to kill thee? | |
| 21 Jesus answered and said unto
them, I have done one work, and ye
all marvel. | |
| 22 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.[199] | |
| 23 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? | |
| 24 Judge not according to the appearance,
but judge righteous judgement. | |
| 25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem,
Is not this he whom they
seek to kill? | |
| 26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, and
they say nothing unto him. Do the
rulers know indeed that this is the
very Christ? | |
| 27 Howbeit, we know this man,
whence he is: but when Christ cometh,
no man knoweth whence he is. | |
| 28 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. | |
| 29 But I know him; for I am from
him, and he hath sent me. | |
| 30 Then they sought to take him:
but no man laid hands on him, because
his hour was not yet come. | |
| 31 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? | |
| 32 The Pharisees heard that the
people murmured such things concerning
him: and the Pharisees and the
chief priests sent officers to take him. | |
| 33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet
a little while am I with you, and then
I go unto him that sent me. | |
| 34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not
find me: and where I am, thither ye
cannot come. | |
| 35 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? | |
| 36 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; | |
| 37 In the last day, that great day
of the feast,[200] Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him
come unto me, and drink. | |
| 38 He that believeth on me, as the
scripture hath said,[201] out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. | |
| 39 (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.) | |
| 40 Many of the people therefore,
when they heard this saying, said, Of
a truth this is the Prophet. | |
| 41 Others said, This is the Christ.
But some said, Shall Christ come out
of Galilee? | |
| 42 Hath not the scripture said,[202]
That Christ cometh of the seed of
David, and out of the town of Bethlehem,
where David was? | |
| 43 So there was a division among
the people because of him. | |
| 44 And some of them would have
taken him; but no man laid hands on
him. | |
| 45 Then came the officers to the
chief priests and Pharisees; and they
said unto them, Why have ye not
brought him? | |
| 46 The officers answered, Never
man spake like this man. | |
| 47 Then answered them the Pharisees,
Are ye also deceived? | |
| 48 Have any of the rulers, or of
the Pharisees believed on him? | |
| 49 But this people who knoweth
not the law are cursed. | |
| 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he
that came to Jesus by night, being
one of them,) | |
| 51 Doth our law judge any man
before it hear him, and know what he
doeth? | |
| 52 They answered and said unto
him, Art thou also of Galilee: Search,
and look: for out of Galilee ariseth
no prophet. | |
| 53 And every man went unto his
own house. | |
| CH. VIII. | |
| Jesus went unto the mount of
Olives:[203] | |
| John. | |
| CH. VIII. 12-59. | |
| 12 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. | |
| 13 The Pharisees therefore said
unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself;
thy record is not true. | |
| 14 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[207] whence I come, and
whither I go. | |
| 15 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge
no man. | |
| 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment
is true: for I am not alone, but I and
the Father that sent me. | |
| 17 It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two men is true.[208] | |
| 18 I am one that bear witness of
myself; and the Father that sent me,
beareth witness of me. | |
| 19 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. | |
| 20 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. | |
| 21 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. | |
| 22 Then said the Jews, Will he
kill himself? because he saith, Whither
I go, ye cannot come. | |
| 23 And he said unto them, Ye are
from beneath; I am from above: ye
are of this world; I am not of this
world. | |
| 24 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. | |
| 25 Then said they unto him, Who
art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
Even the same that I said unto you
from the beginning. | |
| 26 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. | |
| 27 They understood not that he
spake to them of the Father. | |
| 28 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. | |
| 29 And he that sent me is with
me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things
that please him. | |
| 30 As he spake these words, many
believed on him.[209] | |
| 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed; | |
| 32 And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free. | |
| 33 They answered him, We be
Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest thou,
Ye shall be made free? | |
| 34 Jesus answered them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin, is the servant of sin. | |
| 35 And the servant abideth not in
the house for ever, but the Son abideth
ever. | |
| 36 If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed. | |
| 37 I know that ye are Abraham's
seed; but ye seek to kill me, because
my word hath no place in you. | |
| 38 I speak that which I have seen
with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father. | |
| 39 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. | |
| 40 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. | |
| 41 Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to him, We be not
born of fornication; we have one
Father, even God. | |
| 42 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. | |
| 43 Why do ye not understand my
speech? even because ye cannot hear
my word. | |
| 44 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. | |
| 45 And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not. | |
| 46 Which of you convinceth me of
sin? And if I say the truth, why do
ye not believe me? | |
| 47 He that is of God, heareth God's
words: ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God. | |
| 48 Then answered the Jews, and
said unto him, Say we not well that
thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? | |
| 49 Jesus answered, I have not a
devil: but I honour my Father, and
ye do dishonour me. | |
| 50 And I seek not mine own
glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth. | |
| 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying, he shall
never see death. | |
| 52 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. | |
| 53 Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead! and the
prophets are dead: whom makest
thou thyself? | |
| 54 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. | |
| 55 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. | |
| 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced
to see my day: and he saw it, and
was glad. | |
| 57 Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
hast thou seen Abraham? | |
| 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am. | |
| 59 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. X. 25-37. | |
| 25 And behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life? | |
| 26 He said unto him, What is
written in the law? how readest
thou? | |
| 27 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.[210] | |
| 28 And he said unto him, Thou
hast answered right: this do, and
thou shalt live.[211] | |
| 29 But he, willing to justify himself,
said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour? | |
| 30 And Jesus answering, said, A
certain man went down[212] from Jerusalem
to Jericho, and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead. | |
| 31 And by chance there came
down a certain priest that way; and
when he saw him, he passed by on
the other side. | |
| 32 And likewise a Levite, when he
was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the other side. | |
| 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion
on him, | |
| 34 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. | |
| 35 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. | |
| 36 Which now of these three, thinkest
thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves? | |
| 37 And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
him, Go, and do thou likewise. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XI. 1-13. | |
| 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. | |
| 2 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. | |
| 3 Give us day by day our daily
bread. | |
| 4 And forgive us our sins; for
we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into
temptation; but deliver us from evil. | |
| 5 And he said unto them, Which of
you shall have a friend, and shall go
unto him at midnight,[213] and say unto
him, Friend, lend me three loaves: | |
| 6 For a friend of mine in his journey
is come to me, and I have nothing
to set before him? | |
| 7 And he from within shall answer
and say, Trouble me not: the door
is now shut, and my children are
with me in bed; I cannot rise and
give thee. | |
| 8 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. | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh, it shall be
opened. | |
| 11 If a son shall ask bread of any
of you that is a father, will he give
him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will
he for a fish give him a serpent? | |
| 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion? | |
| 13 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? | |
| John. | |
| CH. IX. 1-41. CH. X. 1-21. | |
| And as Jesus passed by, he saw a
man which was blind from his birth. | |
| 2 And his disciples asked him,
saying, Master, who did sin, this
man, or his parents, that he was born
blind? | |
| 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents: but
that the works of God should be made
manifest in him. | |
| 4 I must work the works of him
that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work. | |
| 5 As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world. | |
| 6 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, | |
| 7 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. | |
| 8 The neighbours therefore, and
they which before had seen him that
he was blind, said, Is not this he that
sat and begged? | |
| 9 Some said, This is he: others
said, He is like him: but he said, I
am he. | |
| 10 Therefore said they unto him,
How were thine eyes opened? | |
| 11 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. | |
| 12 Then said they unto him, Where
is he? He said, I know not. | |
| 13 They brought to the Pharisees
him that aforetime was blind. | |
| 14 And it was the sabbath-day when
Jesus made the clay, and opened his
eyes. | |
| 15 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. | |
| 16 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. | |
| 17 They say unto the blind man
again, What sayest thou of him, that
he hath opened thine eyes? He said,
He is a prophet. | |
| 18 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. | |
| 19 And they asked them, saying,
Is this your son, who ye say was
born blind? How then doth he now
see? | |
| 20 His parents answered them and
said, We know that this is our son,
and that he was born blind: | |
| 21 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. | |
| 22 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. | |
| 23 Therefore said his parents, He
is of age; ask him. | |
| 24 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. | |
| 25 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. | |
| 26 Then said they to him again,
What did he to thee? how opened he
thine eyes? | |
| 27 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? | |
| 28 Then they reviled him, and said,
Thou art his disciple, but we are
Moses' disciples. | |
| 29 We know that God spake unto
Moses; as for this fellow, we know
not from whence he is. | |
| 30 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. | |
| 31 Now we know that God heareth
not sinners; but if any man be a worshipper
of God, and doeth his will,
him he heareth. | |
| 32 Since the world began was it
not heard that any man opened the
eyes of one that was born blind. | |
| 33 If this man were not of God, he
could do nothing. | |
| 34 They answered and said unto
him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And
they cast him out. | |
| 35 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? | |
| 36 He answered and said, Who
is he, Lord, that I might believe on
him? | |
| 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou
hast both seen him, and it is he that
talketh with thee. | |
| 38 And he said, Lord, I believe.
And he worshipped him. | |
| 39 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. | |
| 40 And some of the Pharisees which
were with him heard these words, and
said unto him, Are we blind also? | |
| 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were
blind, ye should have no sin: but now
ye say, We see; therefore your sin
remaineth. | |
| CH. X. | |
| 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. | |
| 2 But he that entereth in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep. | |
| 3 To him the porter openeth; and
the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and
leadeth them out. | |
| 4 And when he putteth forth his
own sheep, he goeth before them, and
the sheep follow him: for they know
his voice. | |
| 5 And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they
know not the voice of strangers. | |
| 6 This parable spake Jesus unto
them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spake unto
them. | |
| 7 Then said Jesus unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am
the door of the sheep. | |
| 8 All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep
did not hear them. | |
| 9 I am the door: by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture. | |
| 10 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. | |
| 11 I am the good shepherd: the
good shepherd giveth his life for the
sheep. | |
| 12 But he that is a 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. | |
| 13 The hireling fleeth, because he
is a hireling, and careth not for the
sheep. | |
| 14 I am the good shepherd, and
know my sheep, and am known of
mine. | |
| 15 As the Father knoweth me,
even so know I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the sheep. | |
| 6 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. | |
| 17 Therefore doth my Father love
me, because I lay down my life, that
I might take it again. | |
| 18 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. | |
| 19 There was a division therefore
again among the Jews for these sayings. | |
| 20 And many of them said, He
hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
ye him? | |
| 21 Others said, These are not the
words of him that hath a devil. Can
a devil open the eyes of the blind? | |
| John. | |
| CH. X. 22-42. | |
| 22 And it was at Jerusalem the
feast of the dedication, and it was
winter. | |
| 23 And Jesus walked in the temple
in Solomon's porch. | |
| 24 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. | |
| 25 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. | |
| 28 But ye believe not, because ye
are not of my sheep, as I said unto
you. | |
| 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me: | |
| 28 And I give unto them eternal
life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any pluck them out of my
hand. | |
| 29 My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all; and none is
able to pluck them out of my Father's
hand. | |
| 30 I and my Father are one. | |
| 31 Then the Jews took up stones
again to stone him. | |
| 32 Jesus answered them, Many
good works have I shewed you from
my Father; for which of those works
do ye stone me? | |
| 33 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. | |
| 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?[214] | |
| 35 If he called them gods, unto
whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken; | |
| 36 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? | |
| 37 If I do not the works of my
Father, believe me not. | |
| 38 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. | |
| 39 Therefore they sought again to
take him; but he escaped out of their
hand, | |
| 40 And went away again beyond
Jordan, into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode. | |
| 41 And many resorted unto him,
and said, John did no miracle; but
all things that John spake of this man
were true. | |
| 42 And many believed on him
there. | |
| John. | |
| CH. XI. 1-46. | |
| Now a certain man was sick, named
Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of
Mary and her sister Martha. | |
| 2 (It was that Mary which anointed
the Lord with ointment, and wiped
his feet with her hair, whose brother
Lazarus was sick.) | |
| 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto
him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom
thou lovest is sick. | |
| 4 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. | |
| 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her
sister, and Lazarus. | |
| 6 When he had heard therefore that
he was sick, he abode two days still
in the same place where he was. | |
| 7 Then after that saith he to his
disciples, Let us go into Judea again. | |
| 8 His disciples say unto him, Master,
the Jews of late sought to stone
thee; and goest thou thither again? | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 But if a man walk in the night,
he stumbleth, because there is no
light in him. | |
| 11 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. | |
| 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if
he sleep, he shall do well. | |
| 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep. | |
| 14 Then said Jesus unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead. | |
| 15 And I am glad for your sakes
that I was not there, to the intent ye
may believe; nevertheless, let us go
unto him. | |
| 16 Then said Thomas, which is
called Didymus, unto his fellow-disciples,
Let us also go, that we may
die with him. | |
| 17 Then when Jesus came, he
found that he had lain in the grave
four days already. | |
| 18 (Now Bethany was nigh unto
Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:) | |
| 19 And many of the Jews came to
Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother. | |
| 20 Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in
the house. | |
| 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died. | |
| 22 But I know that even now,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God
will give it thee. | |
| 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother
shall rise again. | |
| 24 Martha saith unto him, I know
that he shall rise again in the resurrection
at the last day. | |
| 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth
in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live: | |
| 26 And whosoever liveth, and believeth
in me, shall never die. Believest
thou this? | |
| 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord:
I believe that thou art the Christ, the
Son of God, which should come into
the world. | |
| 28 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. | |
| 29 As soon as she heard that, she
arose quickly, and came unto him. | |
| 30 Now Jesus was not yet come
into the town, but was in that place
where Martha met him. | |
| 31 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. | |
| 32 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. | |
| 33 When Jesus therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping
which came with her, he groaned in
the spirit, and was troubled, | |
| 34 And said, Where have ye laid
him? They say unto him, Lord, come
and see. | |
| 36 Jesus wept. | |
| 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how
he loved him! | |
| 37 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? | |
| 38 Jesus therefore again groaning
in himself, cometh to the grave. It
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. | |
| 39 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. | |
| 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not
unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of
God? | |
| 41 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. | |
| 42 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. | |
| 43 And when he thus had spoken,
he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth. | |
| 44 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. | |
| 45 Then many of the Jews which
came to Mary, and had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed on
him. | |
| 46 But some of them went their
ways to the Pharisees, and told them
what things Jesus had done. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIII. 10-21. | |
| 10 And he was teaching in one of
the synagogues on the sabbath. | |
| 11 And behold, there was a woman
which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen
years, and was bowed together,
and could in no wise lift up herself. | |
| 12 And when Jesus saw her, he
called her to him, and said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. | |
| 13 And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God. | |
| 14 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. | |
| 15 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? | |
| 16 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? | |
| 17 And when he had said these
things, all his adversaries were
ashamed: and all the people rejoiced
for all the glorious things that were
done by him. | |
| 18 Then said he, Unto what is the
kingdom of God like? and whereunto
shall I resemble it? | |
| 19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed which a man took, and cast into
his garden, and it grew, and waxed a
great tree; and the fowls of the air
lodged in the branches of it. | |
| 20 And again he said, Whereunto
shall I liken the kingdom of God? | |
| 21 It is like leaven, which a woman
took and hid in three measures of
meal, till the whole was leavened. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIII. 22-35. | |
| 22 And he went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem. | |
| 23 Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved? And he
said unto them, | |
| 24 Strive to enter in at the strait
gate: for many, I say unto you,
will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able. | |
| 25 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: | |
| 26 Then shall ye begin to say,
We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence, and thou hast taught in our
streets. | |
| 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I
know you not whence ye are; depart
from me, all ye workers of iniquity. | |
| 28 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. | |
| 29 And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the
north, and from the south, and shall
sit down in the kingdom of God. | |
| 30 And behold, there are last,
which shall be first; and there are
first, which shall be last. | |
| 31 The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart hence; for
Herod will kill thee. | |
| 32 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. | |
| 33 Nevertheless, I must work to-day
and to-morrow, and the day following:
for it cannot be that a prophet
perish out of Jerusalem. | |
| 34 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! | |
| 35 Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.[215] 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIV. 1-24. | |
| 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. | |
| 2 And behold, there was a certain
man before him which had the dropsy. | |
| 3 And Jesus answering, spake unto
the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath-day? | |
| 4 And they held their peace. And
he took him, and healed him, and let
him go: | |
| 5 And answered them, saying,
Which of you shall have an ass or
an ox fallen into a pit, and will not
straightway pull him out on the sabbath-day? | |
| 6 And they could not answer him
again to these things. | |
| 7 And he put forth a parable to
those which were bidden, when he
marked how they chose out the chief
rooms; saying unto them, | |
| 8 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; | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 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. | |
| 11 For whosoever exalteth himself
shall be abased, and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted. | |
| 12 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 recompense be
made thee. | |
| 13 But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind; | |
| 14 And thou shalt be blessed: for
they cannot recompense thee: for thou
shalt be recompensed at the resurrection
of the just. | |
| 15 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. | |
| 16 Then said he unto him, A certain
man made a great supper, and
bade many: | |
| 17 And sent his servant at supper-time,
to say to them that were bidden,
Come, for all things are now
ready. | |
| 18 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. | |
| 19 And another said, I have bought
five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused. | |
| 20 And another said, I have married
a wife: and therefore I cannot
come. | |
| 21 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. | |
| 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is
done as thou hast commanded, and yet
there is room. | |
| 23 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. | |
| 24 For I say unto you, that none of
those men which were bidden, shall
taste of my supper. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIV. 25-35. | |
| 25 And there were great multitudes
with him: and he turned, and said
unto them, | |
| 26 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. | |
| 27 And whosoever doth not bear
his cross, and come after me, cannot
be my disciple. | |
| 28 For which of you, intending to
build a tower, sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost, whether he
have sufficient to finish it? | |
| 29 Lest haply after he hath laid
the foundation, and is not able to
finish it, all that behold it begin to
mock him, | |
| 30 Saying, This man began to
build, and was not able to finish. | |
| 31 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? | |
| 32 Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions of
peace. | |
| 33 So likewise, whosoever he be
of you that forsaketh not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple. | |
| 34 Salt is good: but if the salt have
lost his savour, wherewith shall it be
seasoned? | |
| 35 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XV. 1-32. | |
| Then drew near unto him all the
publicans and sinners for to hear him. | |
| 2 And the Pharisees and scribes
murmured, saying, This man receiveth
sinners, and eateth with them. | |
| 3 And he spake this parable unto
them, saying, | |
| 4 What man of you having a 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? | |
| 5 And when he hath found it, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. | |
| 6 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. | |
| 7 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. | |
| 8 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? | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 Likewise, I say unto you, There
is joy in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner that repenteth. | |
| 11 And he said, A certain man had
two sons: | |
| 12 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. | |
| 13 And not many days after, the
younger son gathered all together, and
took his journey into a far country,
and there wasted his substance with
riotous living. | |
| 14 And when he had spent all,
there arose a mighty famine in that
land; and he began to be in want. | |
| 15 And he went and joined himself
to a citizen of that country; and he
sent him into his fields to feed swine. | |
| 16 And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the
swine did eat; and no man gave unto
him. | |
| 17 And when he came to himself,
he said, How many hired servants of
my father's have bread enough and to
spare, and I perish with hunger! | |
| 18 I will arise and go to my father,
and will say unto him, Father, I have
sinned against heaven, and before
thee, | |
| 19 And am no more worthy to be
called thy son: make me as one of thy
hired servants. | |
| 20 And he arose, and came to his
father. But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him. | |
| 21 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. | |
| 22 But the father said to his servants,
Bring forth the best robe, and
put it on him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet: | |
| 23 And bring hither the fatted calf,
and kill it; and let us eat, and be
merry: | |
| 24 For this my son was dead, and is
alive again; he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry. | |
| 25 Now his elder son was in the
field: and as he came and drew nigh
to the house, he heard music and
dancing. | |
| 26 And he called one of the servants,
and asked what these things
meant. | |
| 27 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. | |
| 28 And he was angry, and would
not go in; therefore came his father
out, and entreated him. | |
| 29 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: | |
| 30 But as soon as this thy son was
came, which hath devoured thy living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him
the fatted calf. | |
| 31 And he said unto him, Son,
thou art ever with me; and all that
I have is thine. | |
| 32 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XVI. 1-13. | |
| 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. | |
| 2 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. | |
| 3 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. | |
| 4 I am resolved what to do, that
when I am put out of the stewardship,
they may receive me into their
houses. | |
| 5 So he called every one of his
lord's debtors unto him, and said unto
the first, How much owest thou unto
my lord? | |
| 6 And he said, A hundred measures
of oil. And he said unto him, Take
thy bill, and sit down quickly, and
write fifty. | |
| 7 Then said he to another, And
how much owest thou? And he said,
A hundred measures of wheat. And
he said unto him, Take thy bill, and
write four-score. | |
| 8 And the lord commended the
unjust steward, because he had done
wisely: for the children of this world
are in their generation wiser than the
children of light. | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 He that is faithful in that which
is least, is faithful also in much; and
he that is unjust in the least, is unjust
also in much. | |
| 11 If therefore ye have not been
faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true
riches? | |
| 12 And if ye have not been faithful
in that which is another man's, who
shall give you that which is your own? | |
| 13 No servant can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XVI. 14-31. | |
| 14 And the Pharisees also, who
were covetous, heard all these things,
and they derided him. | |
| 15 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. | |
| 16 The law and the prophets were
until John: since that time the kingdom
of God is preached, and every
man presseth into it. | |
| 17 And it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass, than one tittle of the
law to fail. | |
| 18 Whosoever putteth away his
wife, and marrieth another, committeth
adultery; and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her
husband, committeth adultery. | |
| 19 There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every
day: | |
| 20 And there was a certain beggar
named Lazarus, which was laid at his
gate, full of sores, | |
| 21 And desiring to be fed with the
crumbs which fell from the rich man's
table: moreover, the dogs came and
licked his sores. | |
| 22 And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom. The
rich man also died, and was buried: | |
| 23 And in hell he lifted up his
eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his
bosom. | |
| 24 And he cried, and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip
of his finger in water, and cool my
tongue: for I am tormented in this
flame. | |
| 25 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. | |
| 26 And besides 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. | |
| 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore,
father, that thou wouldest send
him to my father's house: | |
| 28 For I have five brethren; that
he may testify unto them, lest they
also come into this place of torment. | |
| 29 Abraham saith unto him, They
have Moses and the prophets, let them
hear them. | |
| 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham:
but if one went unto them from
the dead, they will repent. | |
| 31 And he said unto him, If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the dead. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XVII. 20-37. | |
| 20 And when he was demanded of
the Pharisees, when the kingdom of
God should come, he answered them
and said, The kingdom of God cometh
not with observation. | |
| 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here!
or, Lo there! for behold, the kingdom
of God is within you. | |
| 22 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. | |
| 23 And they shall say to you, See
here! or, See there! go not after
them, nor follow them. | |
| 24 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. | |
| 25 But first must he suffer many
things, and be rejected of this generation. | |
| 26 And as it was in the days of
Noe, so shall it be also in the days of
the Son of man. | |
| 27 They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark, and the flood came,
and destroyed them all.[216] | |
| 28 Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot: they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted,
they builded; | |
| 29 But the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them
all:[217] | |
| 30 Even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed. | |
| 31 In that day, he which shall be
upon the house-top, 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. | |
| 32 Remember Lot's wife.[218] | |
| 33 Whosoever shall seek to save
his life, shall lose it; and whosoever
shall lose his life, shall preserve it. | |
| 34 I tell you, in that night there
shall be two men in one bed; the one
shall be taken, and the other shall be
left. | |
| 35 Two women shall be grinding
together; the one shall be taken, and
the other left. | |
| 36 Two men shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other
left. | |
| 37 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XVIII. 1-14. | |
| And he spake a parable unto them
to this end, that men ought always to
pray, and not to faint; | |
| 2 Saying, There was in a city a
judge, which feared not God, neither
regarded man. | |
| 3 And there was a widow in that
city; and she came unto him, saying,
Avenge me of mine adversary. | |
| 4 And he would not for a while:
but afterward he said within himself,
Though I fear not God, nor regard
man; | |
| 5 Yet, because this widow troubleth
me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual
coming she weary me. | |
| 6 And the Lord said, Hear what
the unjust judge saith. | |
| 7 And shall not God avenge his
own elect, which cry day and night
unto him, though he bear long with
them? | |
| 8 I tell you that he will avenge
them speedily. Nevertheless, when
the Son of man cometh, shall he find
faith on the earth? | |
| 9 And he spake this parable unto
certain which trusted in themselves
that they were righteous, and despised
others: | |
| 10 Two men went up into the
temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
and the other a publican. | |
| 11 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. | |
| 12 I fast twice in the week, I give
tithes of all that I possess. | |
| 13 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. | |
| 14 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. | |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XIX. 16-30. CH. XX 1-16. | CH. X. 17-31. |
| 16 And behold, one came and said
unto him, Good Master, what good
thing shall I do that I may have
eternal life? | 17 And 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? |
| 17 And he said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. | 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none
good, but one, that is God. |
| 18 He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear
false witness, | 19 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. |
| 19 Honour thy father and thy mother:
and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.[224] | |
| 20 The young man saith unto him,
All these things have I kept from my
youth up: what lack I yet? | 20 And he answered and said unto
him, Master, all these have I observed
from my youth. |
| 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt
be perfect, go and sell that thou hast,
and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come
and follow me. | 21 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. |
| 22 But when the young man heard
that saying, he went away sorrowful:
for he had great possessions. | 22 And he was sad at that saying,
and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions. |
| 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
Verily, I say unto you, That a
rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. | 23 And Jesus looked round about,
and saith unto his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God! |
| 24 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! |
| 24 And again I say unto you, It is
easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man
to enter into the kingdom of God. | 25 It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. |
| 25 When his disciples heard it,
they were exceedingly amazed, saying
Who then can be saved? | 26 And they were astonished out
of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved? |
| 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said
unto them, With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible. | 27 And Jesus, looking upon them,
With men it is impossible, but
not with God: for with God all things
are possible. |
| 27 Then answered Peter, and said
unto him, Behold, we have forsaken
all, and followed thee; what shall we
have therefore? | 28 Then Peter began to say unto
him, Lo, we have left all, and have
followed thee. |
| 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily,
I say unto you, That ye which have
followed me in the regeneration, when
the Son of man shall sit in the throne
of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel. | 29 And 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, |
| 29 And every one that hath forsaken
houses, or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall
inherit everlasting life. | 30 But he shall receive a hundred-fold
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. |
| 30 But many that are first shall be
last, and the last shall be first. | 31 But many that are first shall be
last; and the last first. |
| CH. XX. | |
| For the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a man that is a householder,
which went out early in the morning
to hire labourers into his vineyard. | |
| 2 And when he had agreed with the
labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard. | |
| 3 And he went out about the third
hour, and saw others standing idle in
the market-place, | |
| 4 And said unto them, Go ye also
into the vineyard; and whatsoever is
right, I will give you. And they went
their way. | |
| 5 Again he went out about the sixth
and ninth hour, and did likewise. | |
| 6 And about the eleventh hour he
went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand
ye here all the day idle? | |
| 7 They say unto him, Because no
man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard;
and whatsoever is right, that shall ye
receive. | |
| 8 So when evening was come, the
lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give
them their hire, beginning from the
last unto the first. | |
| 9 And when they came that were
hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny. | |
| 10 But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have received
more; and they likewise received
every man a penny. | |
| 11 And when they had received it,
they murmured against the good man
of the house, | |
| 12 Saying, These last have wrought
but one hour, and thou hast made them
equal unto us, which have borne the
burden and heat of the day. | |
| 13 But he answered one of them, and
said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst
not thou agree with me for a penny? | |
| 14 Take that thine is, and go thy
way: I will give unto this last, even
as unto thee. | |
| 15 Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own? is thine
eye evil because I am good? | |
| 16 So the last shall be first, and the
first last: for many be called, but few
chosen. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XVIII. 18-30. | |
| 18 And a certain ruler asked him,
saying, Good Master, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life? | |
| 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? none is good,
save one, that is God. | |
| 20 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. | |
| 21 And he said, All these have I
kept from my youth up. | |
| 22 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. | |
| 23 And when he heard this, he was
very sorrowful: for he was very rich. | |
| 24 And when Jesus saw that he was
very sorrowful, he said, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into
the kingdom of God! | |
| 25 For it is easier for a camel to
go through a needle's eye, than for a
rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God! | |
| 26 And they that heard it, said, Who
then can be saved? | |
| 27 And he said, The things which
are impossible with men, are possible
with God. | |
| 28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have
left all, and followed thee. | |
| 29 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, | |
| 30 Who shall not receive manifold
more in this present time, and in the
world to come life everlasting. | |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XX. 20-28. | CH. X. 35-45. |
| 20 Then came to him the mother
of Zebedee's children, with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a certain
thing of him. | 35 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. |
| 21 And he said unto her, What wilt
thou? She saith[225] unto him, Grant that
these my two sons may sit, the one on
thy right hand, and the other on the
left, in thy kingdom. | 36 And he said unto them, What
would ye that I should do for you? |
| 37 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. |
| 22 But Jesus answered and said,
Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall
drink of, and to be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?
They say unto him, We are able. | 38 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? |
| 23 And he saith unto them, Ye
shall drink indeed of my cup, and be
baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with; but, to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but it shall be given to them for
whom it is prepared of my Father. | 39 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: |
| 40 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. |
| 24 And when the ten heard it, they
were moved with indignation against
the two brethren. | 41 And when the ten heard it, they
began to be much displeased with
James and John. |
| 25 But Jesus called them unto him,
and said, Ye know that the princes of
the Gentiles exercise dominion over
them, and they that are great exercise
authority upon them. | 42 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. |
| 26 But it shall not be so among you:
but whosoever will be great among
you, let him be your minister; | 43 But so shall it not be among you:
but whosoever will be great among
you, shall be your minister: |
| 27 And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant: | 44 And whosoever of you will be
the chiefest, shall be servant of all. |
| 28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom
for many. | 45 For even the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom
for many. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XX. 29-34. | CH. X. 46-52. |
| 29 And as they departed from Jericho,
a great multitude followed him. | 46 And they came to Jericho: and
as he went out of Jericho with his
disciples, and a great number of people,
blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus,
sat by the highway side, begging. |
| 30 And behold, two blind men sitting
by the wayside, when they heard
that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying,
Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of
David. | 47 And when he heard that it was
Jesus of Nasareth, he began to cry
out and say, Jesus, thou son of David,
have mercy on me. |
| 31 And the multitude rebuked
them, because they should hold their
peace: but they cried the more, saying,
Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou
son of David. | 48 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. |
| 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that
I shall do unto you? | 49 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. |
| 50 And he, casting away his garment,
rose, and came to Jesus. |
| 33 They say unto him, Lord, that
our eyes may be opened. | 51 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. |
| 34 So Jesus had compassion on
them, and touched their eyes: and immediately
their eyes received sight,
and they followed him. | 52 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. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIX. 2-28. | |
| 2 And behold there was a man
named Zaccheus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and he
was rich. | |
| 3 And he sought to see Jesus who
he was; and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature. | |
| 4 And he ran before, and climbed
up into a sycamore-tree to see him;
for he was to pass that way. | |
| 5 And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and saw him, and
said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste,
and come down: for to-day I must
abide at thy house. | |
| 6 And he made haste, and came
down, and received him joyfully. | |
| 7 And when they saw it, they all
murmured, saying, That he was gone
to be guest with a man that is a
sinner. | |
| 8 And Zaccheus 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 four-fold. | |
| 9 And Jesus said unto him, This
day is salvation come to this house,
forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. | |
| 10 For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was lost. | |
| 11 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. | |
| 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman
went into a far country to
receive for himself a kingdom, and to
return.[227] | |
| 13 And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds, and
said unto them, Occupy till I come. | |
| 14 But his citizens hated him, and
sent a message after him, saying, We
will not have this man to reign over
us. | |
| 15 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. | |
| 16 Then came the first, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds. | |
| 17 And he said unto him, Well,
thou good servant: because thou hast
been faithful in a very little, have
thou authority over ten cities. | |
| 18 And the second came, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds. | |
| 19 And he said likewise to him, Be
thou also over five cities. | |
| 20 And another came, saying, Lord,
behold here is thy pound, which I have
kept laid up in a napkin: | |
| 21 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. | |
| 22 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: | |
| 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou
my money into the bank, that at my
coming I might have required mine
own with usury? | |
| 24 And he said unto them that
stood by, Take from him the pound,
and give it to him that hath ten
pounds. | |
| 25 (And they said unto him, Lord,
he hath ten pounds.) | |
| 26 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. | |
| 27 But those mine enemies, which
would not that I should reign over
them, bring hither, and slay them before
me. | |
| 28 And when he had thus spoken,
he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. | |
