| 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. | |

| 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. | |
