Ch. 1 The ENTIRE Gospel Of Jesus According To LUKE
1:1 For as much,
as many have taken
in hand,
to set forth in order,
a declaration of
those things which are most
surely believed among us,
1:2 even as they delivered them
unto us,
which,
from the beginning,
were eyewitnesses,
and ministers of the word;
1:3 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,
1:4 that thou mayest know the
certainty of those things,
wherein thou hast been
instructed.
1:5 There was in the days of Herod,
the king of Judea,
a certain priest named Zacharias,
of the course of Abia.
And his wife was of the daughters
of Aaron,
and her name was Elisabeth.
1:6 And they were both righteous
before God,
walking in all the commandments
and ordinances of the
Lord, blameless.
1:7 And they had no child,
because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they both were
now well stricken in years.
1:8 And it came to pass,
that while he executed the
priest's office before God,
in the order of his course,
1:9 according to the custom of the
priest's office,
his lot was to burn incense,
when he went into the
temple of the Lord.
1:10 And the whole multitude of the
people were praying without,
at the time of incense.
1:11 And there appeared unto him an
angel of the Lord,
standing on the right side of the
altar of incense.
1:12 And when Zacharias saw him,
he was troubled,
and fear fell upon him.
1:13 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.
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness;
and many shall rejoice at his birth.
1:15 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.
1:16 And many of the children of
Israel, shall he turn to
the Lord their God.
1:17 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.
1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel,
whereby shall I know this?
For I am an old man,
and my wife well stricken in years.
1:19 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.
1:20 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.
1:21 And the people waited for
Zacharias,
and marveled that he tarried
so long in the temple.
1:22 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.
1:23 And it came to pass,
that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished,
he departed to his own house.
1:24 And after those days,
his wife Elisabeth conceived,
and hid herself five months,
saying,
1:25 thus hath the Lord dealt with me
in the days wherein
he looked on me,
to take away my reproach
among men.
1:26 And in the sixth month,
the angel Gabriel was sent
from God,
unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth,
1:27 to a virgin,
espoused to a man whose
name was Joseph,
of the house of David;
and the virgin's name was Mary.
1:28 And the angel came in unto her
and said,
hail, thou that art highly favored,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women.
1:29 And when she saw him,
she was troubled at his saying,
and cast in her mind,
what manner of
salutation this should be.
1:30 And the angel said unto her,
fear not, Mary.
For thou hast found favor
with God.
1:31 And behold,
thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS.
1:32 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.
1:33 And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom,
there shall be no end.
1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel,
how shall this be,
seeing I know not a man?
1:35 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.
1:36 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.
1:37 For with God,
nothing shall be impossible.
1:38 And Mary said,
behold the handmaid of the Lord;
be it unto me according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
1:39 And Mary arose in those days,
and went into the hill country
with haste,
into a city of Juda;
1:40 and
entered into the house
of Zacharias,
and saluted Elisabeth.
1:41 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.
1:42 And she spake out with a
loud voice,
and said,
blessed art thou among
women,
and blessed is the fruit of
thy womb.
1:43 And whence is this to me,
that the mother of my Lord
should come to me?
1:44 For lo,
as soon as the voice of
thy salutation sounded in
mine ears,
the babe leaped in my womb
for joy.
1:45 And blessed is she that believed.
For there shall be a
performance of those things
which were told her from the Lord.
1:46 And Mary said,
my soul doth magnify
the Lord,
1:47 and
my spirit hath rejoiced in
God, my Savior.
1:48 For he hath regarded the
low estate of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth,
all generations shall
call me blessed.
1:49 For he that is mighty hath
done to me great things;
and holy is his name.
1:50 And his mercy is on them that
fear him,
from generation to generation.
1:51 He hath shewed strength
with his arm;
he hath scattered the
proud in the imagination
of their hearts.
1:52 He hath put down the mighty from
their seats,
and exalted them of low degree.
1:53 He hath filled the hungry with
good things;
and the rich he hath
sent away empty.
1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy;
1:55 as he spake to our fathers,
to Abraham,
and to his seed, for ever.
1:56 And Mary abode with her
about three months,
and returned to her own house.
1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came,
that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a son.
1:58 And her neighbors and her
cousins heard how the
Lord had shewed
great mercy upon her;
and they rejoiced with her.
1:59 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.
1:60 And his mother answered
and said,
not so;
but he shall be called John.
1:61 And they said unto her,
there is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name.
1:62 And they made signs to his father,
how he would have him called.
1:63 And he asked for a
writing table, and wrote,
saying,
his name is John.
And they marveled all.
1:64 And his mouth was
opened immediately,
and his tongue loosed,
and he spake,
and praised God.
1:65 And fear came on all that
dwelt round about them.
And all these sayings were
noised abroad throughout all the
hill country of Judea.
1:66 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.
1:67 And his father Zacharias was
filled with the Holy Ghost,
and prophesied,
saying,
1:68 blessed be the
Lord God of Israel;
for he hath visited
and redeemed his people,
1:69 and hath raised up
an horn of salvation for us in
the house of his servant David;
1:70 as he spake by the mouth of
his holy prophets,
which have been since the
world began.
1:71 That we should be
saved from our enemies,
and from the hand of
all that hate us;
1:72 to perform the mercy
promised to our fathers,
and to remember his
holy covenant;
1:73 the oath which he
sware to our father Abraham,
1:74 that he would grant unto us,
that we,
being delivered out of the
hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear,
1:75 in holiness,
and righteousness
before him,
all the days of our life.
1:76 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;
1:77 to give knowledge of
salvation unto his people,
by the remission of their sins,
1:78 through the tender mercy
of our God;
whereby the dayspring from
on high,
hath visited us,
1:79 to give light to them that
sit in darkness,
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet,
into the way of peace.
1:80 And the child grew,
and waxed strong in spirit,
and was in the deserts till the
day of his shewing unto Israel.
Ch. 2 Luke
2:1 And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was
governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city.
2:4 And Joseph also,
went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea,
unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house,
and lineage of David).
2:5 to be taxed with Mary,
his espoused wife,
being great with child.
2:6 And so it was, that while
they were there,
the days were accomplished,
that she should be delivered.
2:7 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.
2:8 And there were in the
same country shepherds
abiding in the field
keeping watch over their
flock by night.
2:9 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.
2:10 And the angel said unto them,
fear not.
For behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day
in the city of David,
a Savior,
which is Christ,
The Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you;
ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host,
praising God,
and saying,
2:14 glory to God in the highest,
and *on earth, peace,
good will toward men. *
2:15 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.
2:16 And they came with haste,
and found Mary,
and Joseph,
and the babe,
lying in a manger.
2:17 And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad
the saying which was
told them concerning this child.
2:18 And all they that heard it,
wondered at those things
which were told them
by the shepherds.
2:19 But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
2:20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying, and praising God,
for all the things
that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.
2:21 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.
2:22 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;
2:23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that openeth the womb
shall be called holy to the Lord)
2:24 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.
2:25 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.
2:26 And it was revealed unto him
by the Holy Ghost,
that he should not see death,
before he had seen
the Lord's Christ.
2:27 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,
2:28 then took he him up,
in his arms,
and blessed God,
and said,
2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace,
according to thy word.
2:30 For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation,
2:31 which thou hast prepared
before the face of all people.
2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of thy people,
Israel.
2:33 And Joseph and his mother
marveled at those things which
were spoken of him.
2:34 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.
2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of many hearts
may be revealed.
2:36 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.
2:37 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.
2:38 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.
2:39 And when they had
performed all things
according to the law of the Lord,
they returned into Galilee,
to their own city, Nazareth.
2:40 And the child grew,
and waxed strong in spirit,
filled with wisdom.
And the grace of
God was upon him.
2:41 Now his parents went to
Jerusalem every year
at the feast of the Passover.
2:42 And when he was
twelve years old,
they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the
feast.
2:43 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.
2:44 But they, supposing him to
have been in the company,
went a day's journey;
and they sought him among
their kinsfolk
and acquaintance.
2:45 And when they found him not,
they turned back again
to Jerusalem, seeking him.
2:46 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.
2:47 And all that heard him,
were astonished at his
understanding and answers.
2:48 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.
2:49 And he said unto them,
how is it that ye sought me?
Wist ye not that I must be
about my Father's business?
2:50 And they understood not
the saying which he
spake unto them.
2:51 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.
2:52 And Jesus increased,
in wisdom and stature,
and in favor, with God, and man.
*Luke 2:14; possible suggested translation:
"Glory to God in the highest and...
*on earth, God's peace toward men of good will.* or
*on earth God's peace be with men of good will.*
Ch. 3 Luke
3:1 Now in the fifteenth year,
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate
being governor of Judea,
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,
3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being
the high priests,
the word of God came unto John,
the son of Zacharias
in the wilderness.
3:3 And he came into all the
country about Jordan,
preaching the baptism of
repentance for the
remission of sins;
3:4 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.
3:5 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;
3:6 and all flesh shall see
the salvation of God.
3:7 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?
3:8 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.
3:9 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.
3:10 And the people asked him,
saying,
what shall we do then?
3:11 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.
3:12 Then came also publicans
to be baptized,
and said unto him,
master, what shall we do?
3:13 And he said unto them,
exact no more than that
which is appointed you.
3:14 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.
3:15 And as the people were
in expectation,
and all men mused in their
hearts of John,
whether he were the Christ,
or not;
3:16 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.
3:17 Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will thoroughly purge
his floor,
and will gather the wheat
into his garner;
but the chaff he will burn
with fire unquenchable.
3:18 And many other things,
in his exhortation,
preached he unto the people.
3:19 But Herod, the tetrarch,
being reproved by him for
Herodias,
his brother Philip's wife,
and for all the evils which
Herod had done,
3:20 added yet this above all,
that he shut up John in prison.
3:21 Now when all the people
were baptized,
and it came to pass,
that Jesus also,
being baptized,
and praying,
the heaven was opened,
3:22 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.
3:23 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,
3:24 which was the son of Matthat,

Ch. 4 Luke
Ch. 4 Luke
4:1 And Jesus,
being full of the
Holy Ghost,
returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit
into the wilderness,
4:2 being forty days tempted
of the devil.
And in those days he did
eat nothing.
And when they were ended,
he afterward hungered.
4:3 And the devil said unto him,
if thou be the Son of God,
command this stone
that it be made bread.
4:4 And Jesus answered him
saying,
it is written,
that man shall not live by
bread alone,
but by every word of God.
4:5 And the devil,
taking him up into an
high mountain,
shewed unto him,
all the kingdoms of the
world in a
moment of time.
4:6 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.
4:7 If thou therefore,
wilt worship me,
all shall be thine.
4:8 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.
4:9 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.
4:10 For it is written,
He shall give his angels charge
over thee, to keep thee.
4:11 And in their hands,
they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou
dash thy foot against
a stone.
4:12 And Jesus answering
said unto him,
it is said,
Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God.
4:13 And when the devil had
ended all the temptation,
he departed from him for a
season.
4:14 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.
4:15 And he taught in their
synagogues,
being glorified of all.
4:16 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.
4:17 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,
4:18 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,
4:19 to preach the acceptable
year of the Lord.
4:20 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.
4:21 And he began to
say unto them,
this day, is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.
4:22 And all bare him witness
and wondered at the
gracious words which
proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said,
is this not Joseph's son?
4:23 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.
4:24 And he said,
verily I say unto you,
no prophet is accepted
in his own country.
4:25 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.
4:26 But unto none of them was
Elias sent,
save unto Sarepta,
a city of Sidon,
unto a woman that was a
widow.
4:27 And many lepers were in
Israel in the time of Eliseus
the prophet;
and none of them was cleansed,
saving Naaman, the Syrian.
4:28 And all they in the synagogue
when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath,
4:29 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.
4:30 But he,
passing through the
midst of them,
went his way
4:31 and
came down to Capernaum,
a city of Galilee,
and taught them on the
Sabbath days.
4:32 And they were astonished at
his doctrine.
For his word was with power.
4:33 And in the synagogue
there was a man which had a
spirit of an unclean devil,
and cried out with a loud voice,
4:34 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.
4:35 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.
4:36 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.
4:37 And the fame of him went
out into every place of the
country round about.
4:38 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.
4:39 And he stood over her,
and rebuked the fever;
and it left her.
And immediately she arose
and ministered unto them.
4:40 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.
4:41 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.
4:42 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.
4:43 And he said unto them,
I must preach the
kingdom of God to other
cities also.
For therefore am I sent.
4:44 And he preached in the
synagogues of Galilee.
Ch. 5 Luke
5:1 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,
5:2 and
saw two ships standing
by the lake.
But the fishermen were
gone out of them,
and were washing their nets.
5:3 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.
5:4 Now when he had left
speaking,
he said unto Simon,
launch out into the deep,
and let down your nets for
a draught.
5:5 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.
5:6 And when they had this done,
they enclosed a great multitude
of fishes.
And their net brake.
5:7 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.
5:8 When Simon Peter saw it,
he fell down at Jesus'
knees saying,
depart from me;
for I am a sinful man,
O Lord.
5:9 For he was astonished,
and all that were with him,
at the draught of the fishes
which they had taken.
5:10 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.
5:11 And when they had brought
their ships to land
they forsook all,
and followed him.
5:12 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.
5:13 And he put forth his hand,
and touched him,
saying,
I will.
Be thou clean.
And immediately the
leprosy departed from him.
5:14 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.
5:15 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.
5:16 And he withdrew himself
into the wilderness,
and prayed.
5:17 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 Judea, and Jerusalem.
And the power of the Lord
was present to heal them.
5:18 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.
5:19 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.
5:20 And when he saw
their faith,
he said unto him,
man,
thy sins are forgiven thee.
5:21 And the Scribes and the Pharisees
began to reason,
saying,
who is this which speaketh
blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins,
but God alone?
5:22 But when Jesus
perceived their thoughts,
he, answering said unto them,
what reason ye in your hearts?
5:23 Whether is easier, to say,
thy sins be forgiven thee;
or to say,
rise up and walk?
5:24 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.
5:25 And immediately,
he rose up before them,
and took up that whereon he lay,
and departed to his own house,
glorifying God.
5:26 And they were all amazed,
and they glorified God,
and were filled with fear,
saying,
we have seen strange things
to day.
5:27 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.
5:28 And he left all,
rose up,
and followed him.
5:29 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.
5:30 But their scribes and
Pharisees murmured against
his disciples
saying,
why do ye eat and drink with
publicans and sinners?
5:31 And Jesus answering,
said unto them,
they that are whole need not a
physician;
but they that are sick.
5:32 I came not to call
the righteous,
but sinners, to repentance.
5:33 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?
5:34 And he said unto them,
can ye make the children
of the bridechamber fast
while the bridegroom is
with them?
5:35 But the days will come,
when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from
them,
and then, shall they fast
in those days.
5:36 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.
5:37 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.
5:38 But new wine must be
put into new bottles;
and both are preserved.
5:39 No man,
also having drunk old wine,
straightway desireth new.
For he saith, the old is better.
Ch. 6 Luke
6:1 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.
6:2 And certain of the
Pharisees said unto them,
why do ye that which is not
lawful to do on the
Sabbath days?
6:3 And Jesus
answering them said,
have ye not read so much as this,
what David did,
when himself was an hungered,
and they which were with
him;
6:4 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?
6:5 And he said unto
them that
The Son of man is Lord,
also of the Sabbath.
6:6 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.
6:7 And the scribes and
Pharisees watched him,
whether he would heal
on the Sabbath day;
that they might find an
accusation against him.
6:8 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.
6:9 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?
6:10 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.
6:11 And they were
filled with madness;
and communed,
one with another,
what they might do to Jesus.
6:12 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.
6:13 And when it was day,
he called unto him his disciples.
And of them he chose twelve,
whom also he named,
apostles;
6:14 Simon,
(whom he also named Peter,)
and Andrew his brother,
James and John,
Philip, and Bartholomew,
6:15 Matthew and Thomas,
James, the son of Alphaeus,
and Simon called Zelotes,
6:16 And Judas, the brother of
James,
and Judas, Iscariot,
which also was the traitor.
6:17 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 Judea and Jerusalem,
and from the sea coast of
Tyre and Sidon,
which came to hear him,
and to be healed of their diseases;
6:18 and
they that were vexed with
unclean spirits.
And they were healed.
6:19 And the whole multitude
sought to touch him.
For there went
virtue out of him,
and healed them all.
6:20 And he lifted up his eyes
on his disciples
and said,
blessed be ye poor.
For yours is the kingdom
of God.
6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now.
For ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now.
For ye shall laugh.
6:22 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.
6:23 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.
6:24 But woe unto you
that are rich!
For ye have received
your consolation.
6:25 Woe unto you that are full!
For ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now!
For ye shall mourn and weep.
6:26 Woe unto you when
all men shall speak well of you!
For so did their fathers to the
false prophets.
6:27 But I say unto you
which hear,
love your enemies,
do good to them which
hate you.
6:28 Bless them that curse you,
and pray for them which
despitefully use you.
6:29 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.
6:30 Give to every man that
asketh of thee;
and of him that taketh
away thy goods,
ask them not again.
6:31 And as ye would that
men should do to you,
do ye also to them likewise.
6:32 For if ye love them which
love you,
what thank have ye?
For sinners also love
those that love them.
6:33 And if ye do good to
them which do good to you,
what thank have ye?
For sinners also do even
the same.
6:34 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.
6:35 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.
6:36 Be ye therefore
merciful,
as your Father also,
is merciful.
6:37 Judge not,
and ye shall not be judged.
Condemn not,
and ye shall not be condemned.
Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
6:38 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.
6:39 And he spake a parable
unto them,
can the blind lead the blind?
Shall they not both fall into the ditch?
6:40 The disciple is not
above his master.
But every one that is perfect,
shall be as his master.
6:41 And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy
brother's eye,
but perceivest not the beam
that is in thine own eye?
6:42 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.
6:43 For a good tree bringeth
not forth corrupt fruit;
neither doth a corrupt tree
bringth forth good fruit.
6:44 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.
6:45 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.
6:46 And why call ye me,
Lord, Lord,
and do not the things
which I say?
6:47 Whosoever cometh to me,
and heareth my sayings,
and doeth them,
I will shew you to
whom he is like.
6:48 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.
6:49 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.
Ch. 7 Luke
7:1 Now when he had
ended all his sayings in the
audience of the people,
he entered into Capernaum.
7:2 And a certain
centurion's servant,
who was dear unto him,
was sick,
and ready to die.
7:3 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.
7:4 And when they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly
saying,
that he was worthy for
whom he should do this.
7:5 For he loveth our nation,
and he hath built us a
synagogue.
7:6 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.
7:7 Wherefore neither
thought I myself worthy
to come unto thee.
But say in a word,
and my servant shall be healed.
7:8 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.
7:9 When Jesus heard
these things,
he marveled 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.
7:10 And they that were sent,
returning to the house,
found the servant whole
that had been sick.
7:11 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.
7:12 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.
7:13 And when the Lord saw her
he had compassion on her
and said unto her,
weep not.
7:14 And he came and
touched the bier.
And they that bare him
stood still.
And he said,
young man,
I say unto thee,
arise.
7:15 And
he that was dead sat up
and began to speak.
And he delivered him
to his mother.
7:16 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.
7:17 And this rumor of him
went forth throughout
all Judea,
and throughout all the
region round about.
7:18 And the disciples
of John shewed him of
all these things.
7:19 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?
7:20 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?
7:21 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.
7:22 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.
7:23 And blessed is he
whosoever shall not be
offended in me.
7:24 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?
7:25 But what went ye out
for to see?
A man clothed in soft
raiment?
Behold, they which are
gorgeously appareled
and live delicately,
are in kings' courts.
7:26 But what went ye out for
to see?
A prophet?
Yea, I say unto you,
and much more than a prophet.
7:27 This is he of whom
it is written,
Behold,
I send my messenger before
thy face,
which shall prepare thy way
before thee.
7:28 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.
7:29 And all the people that
heard him,
and the publicans,
justified God,
being baptized with the
baptism of John.
7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God
against themselves,
being not baptized of him.
7:31 And the Lord said,
whereunto then shall I
liken the men of this
generation?
And to what are they like?
7:32 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.
7:33 For John the Baptist came
neither eating bread nor
drinking wine;
and ye say,
he hath a devil.
7:34 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!
7:35 But wisdom is justified,
of all her children.
7:36 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.
7:37 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,
7:38 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.
7:39 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.
7:40 And Jesus answering
said unto him,
Simon,
I have somewhat
to say unto thee.
And he saith,
Master, say on.
7:41 There was a certain creditor
which had two debtors.
The one owed five hundred
pence,
and the other fifty.
7:42 And when they had nothing
to pay,
he frankly forgave them both.
Tell me therefore,
which of them will love
him most?
7:43 Simon answered
and said,
I suppose that he,
to whom he forgave most.
And he said unto him,
thou hast rightly judged.
7:44 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.
7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss.
But this woman,
since the time I came in,
hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
7:46 My head with oil,
thou didst not anoint.
But this woman hath anointed
my feet with ointment.
7:47 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.
7:48 And he said unto her,
thy sins are forgiven.
7:49 And they that sat at meat
with him,
began to say within themselves,
who is this,
that forgiveth sins also?
7:50 And he said to the
woman,
thy faith hath saved thee.
Go in peace.
Ch. 8 Luke
8:1 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,
8:2 and certain women,
which had been healed of
evil spirits and infirmities,
Mary called Magdalene,
out of whom went seven devils,
8:3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza,
Herod's steward, and Susanna,
and many others which
ministered unto him
of their substance.
8:4 And when much people were
gathered together
and were come to him out of
every city,
he spake by a parable.
8:5 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.
8:6 And some fell upon a rock;
and as soon as it was sprung up,
it withered away
because it lacked moisture.
8:7 And some fell among thorns;
and the thorns sprang up with it,
and choked it.
8:8 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.
8:9 And his disciples asked him,
saying,
what might this parable be?
8:10 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.
8:11 Now the parable is this.
The seed is the word of God.
8:12 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.
8:13 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.
8:14 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.
8:15 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.
8:16 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.
8:17 For nothing is secret,
that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid,
that shall not be known
and come abroad.
8:18 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.
8:19 Then came to him his mother
and his brethren,
and could not come at him
for the press.
8:20 And it was told him by
certain which said,
thy mother and thy brethren
stand without,
desiring to see thee.
8:21 And he answered
and said unto them,
My mother
and my brethren are these
which hear the word of God,
and do it.
8:22 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.
8:23 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.
8:24 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.
8:25 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.
8:26 And they arrived at the
country of the Gadarenes,
which is over against Galilee.
8:27 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.
8:28 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.
8:29 (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.)
8:30 And Jesus asked him,
saying,
what is thy name?
And he said,
Legion.
Because many devils were
entered into him.
8:31 And they besought him,
that he would not
command them to go out
into the deep.
8:32 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.
8:33 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.
8:34 When they that fed them
saw what was done
they fled,
and went and told it
in the city and
in the country.
8:35 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.
8:36 They also which saw it,
told them by what means he
that was possessed of the
devils was healed.
8:37 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.
8:38 Now the man out of whom
the devils were departed,
besought him that he might be
with him.
But Jesus sent him away,
saying,
8:39 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.
8:40 And it came to pass, that
when Jesus was returned,
the people gladly
received him.
For they were all waiting for him.
8:41 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.
8:42 For he had one only daughter,
about twelve years of age,
and she lay a dying.
But as he went,
the people thronged him.
8:43 And a woman having an
issue of blood twelve years,
which had spent all her
living upon physicians,
neither could be healed of any,
8:44 came behind him,
and touched the
border of his garment.
And immediately,
her issue of blood stanched.
8:45 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?
8:46 And Jesus said,
somebody hath touched me.
For I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me.
8:47 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.
8:48 And he said unto her,
daughter,
be of good comfort.
Thy faith hath made thee
whole,
Go in peace.
8:49 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.
8:50 But when Jesus heard it,
he answered him,
saying,
fear not.
Believe only,
and she shall be
made whole.
8:51 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.
8:52 And all wept and
bewailed her.
But he said,
weep not;
she is not dead,
but sleepeth.
8:53 And they laughed him
to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
8:54 And he put them all out,
and took her by the hand,
and called
saying,
maid, arise.
8:55 And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway.
And he commanded to
give her meat.
8:56 And her parents were
astonished.
But he charged them,
that they should tell
no man, what was done.
Ch. 9 Luke
9:1 Then he called his
twelve disciples together,
and gave them power
and authority over all devils,
and to cure diseases.
9:2 And he sent them to
preach the kingdom of God,
and to heal the sick.
9:3 And he said unto them,
take nothing for your journey,
neither staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money.
Neither have two coats apiece.
9:4 And whatsoever house
ye enter into,
there abide,
and thence depart.
9:5 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.
9:6 And they departed,
and went through the
towns,
preaching the gospel,
and healing every where.
9:7 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;
9:8 and of some,
that Elias had appeared;
and of others,
that one of the old prophets
was risen again.
9:9 And Herod said,
John I have beheaded.
But who is this of whom
I hear such things?
And he desired to see him.
9:10 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.
9:11 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.
9:12 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.
9:13 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.
9:14 For they were about
five thousand men.
And he said to his disciples,
make them sit down
by fifties in a company.
9:15 And they did so,
and made them all sit down.
9:16 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.
9:17 And they did eat,
and were all filled.
And there was taken up of
fragments that remained to
them,
twelve baskets.
9:18 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?
9:19 They
answering said,
John the Baptist;
but some say, Elias;
and others say,
that one of the old prophets
is risen again.
9:20 He said unto them,
but whom say ye that I am?
Peter,
answering said,
The Christ of God.
9:21 And he straitly charged them,
and commanded them to
tell no man
that thing;
9:22 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.
9:23 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.
9:24 For whosoever
will save his life,
shall lose it.
But whosoever will
lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it.
9:25 For what is a man advantaged
if he gain the whole world,
and lose himself,
or be cast away?
9:26 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.
9:27 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.
9:28 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.
9:29 And as he prayed,
the fashion of his
countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white,
and glistering.
9:30 And behold,
there talked with him two men,
which were Moses and Elias;
9:31 who appeared in glory,
and spake of his decease,
which he should accomplish,
at Jerusalem.
9:32 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.
9:33 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.
9:34 While he thus spake,
there came a cloud and
overshadowed them.
And they feared,
as they entered into the cloud.
9:35 And there came a
voice out of the cloud
saying,
This is my beloved Son.
Hear him.
9:36 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.
9:37 And it came to pass,
that on the next day,
when they were come down
from the hill,
much people met him.
9:38 And behold,
a man of the company
cried out,
saying,
Master,
I beseech thee,
look upon my son,
for he is mine only child.
9:39 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.
9:40 And I besought thy
disciples to cast him out;
and they could not.
9:41 And Jesus answering
said,
O faithless and perverse
generation.
How long shall I be with you,
and suffer you?
Bring thy son hither.
9:42 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.
9:43 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,
9:44 let these sayings
sink down into your ears.
For the Son of man shall
be delivered into the hands
of men.
9:45 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.
9:46 Then there arose a
reasoning among them,
which of them should be
greatest.
9:47 And Jesus,
perceiving the thought of
their heart,
took a child and set him
by him,
9:48 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.
9:49 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.
9:50 And Jesus said unto him,
forbid him not.
For he that is not against us,
is for us.
9:51 And it came to pass,
when the time was come
that he should be received up,
he steadfastly set his face to
go to Jerusalem,
9:52 and
sent messengers before his face.
And they went,
and entered into a village of the
Samaritans,
to make ready for him.
9:53 And they did not receive him,
because his face was
as though he would go to
Jerusalem.
9:54 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?
9:55 But he turned and
rebuked them,
and said,
ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of.
9:56 For the Son of man
is not come to destroy
men's lives,
but to save them.
And they went to another village.
9:57 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.
9:58 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.
9:59 And he said unto another,
follow me.
But he said,
Lord,
suffer me first to go,
and bury my father.
9:60 Jesus said unto him,
let the dead bury
their dead.
But go thou,
and preach the
kingdom of God.
9:61 And another also said,
Lord,
I will follow thee;
but let me first go
bid them farewell,
which are at home at
my house.
9:62 And Jesus said unto him,
no man, having put his hand
to the plough,
and looking back,
is fit for the kingdom of God.
Ch. 10 Luke
10:1 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.
10:2 Therefore said he unto them,
the harvest truly is great,
but the laborers are few.
Pray ye therefore,
the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth
laborers,
into his harvest.
10:3 Go your ways.
Behold,
I send you forth as
lambs among wolves.
10:4 Carry neither purse,
nor scrip, nor shoes.
And salute no man by the way.
10:5 And into whatsoever house
ye enter,
first say,
peace be to this house.
10:6 And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it.
If not,
it shall turn to you again.
10:7 And in the same house
remain,
eating and drinking
such things as they give.
For the laborer is worthy of
his hire.
Go not from house to house.
10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter,
and they receive you,
eat such things as are
set before you.
10:9 And heal the sick that are
therein,
and say unto them,
the kingdom of God is
come nigh unto you.
10:10 But into whatsoever
city ye enter,
and they receive you not,
go your ways,
out into the streets of
the same,
and say,
10:11 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.
10:12 But I say unto you,
that it shall be
more tolerable in that day,
for Sodom,
than for that city.
10:13 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.
10:14 But it shall be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon
at the judgment,
than for you.
10:15 And thou Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven,
shalt be thrust down to hell.
10:16 He that heareth you
heareth me;
and he that despiseth you,
despiseth me;
and he that despiseth me,
despiseth him that sent me.
10:17 And the seventy
returned again with joy
saying
Lord,
even the devils are subject
unto us through thy name.
10:18 And he said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning,
fall from heaven.
10:19 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.
10:20 Notwithstanding,
in this rejoice not,
that the spirits
are subject unto you.
But rather,
rejoice because your names are
written in heaven.
10:21 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.
10:22 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.
10:23 And he turned him
unto his disciples,
and said privately,
blessed are the eyes which
see the things that ye see.
10:24 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.
10:25 And behold,
a certain lawyer stood up,
and tempted him
saying,
Master,
what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
10:26 He said unto him,
what is written in the law?
How readest thou?
10:27 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 neighbor as thyself.
10:28 And he said unto him,
thou hast answered right.
This do,
and thou shalt live.
10:29 But he,
willing to justify himself,
said unto Jesus,
and who is my neighbor?
10:30 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.
10:31 And by chance,
there came down a certain
priest that way.
And when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side.
10:32 And likewise,
a Levite,
when he was at the place,
came and looked on him,
and passed by, on the
other side.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed,
came where he was.
And when he saw him,
he had compassion on him,
10:34 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.
10:35 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.
10:36 Which now of these three,
thinkest thou,
was neighbor unto him that
fell among the thieves?
10:37 And he said,
he that shewed mercy on him.
Then said Jesus unto him,
go,
and do thou likewise.
10:38 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.
10:39 And she had a
sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet,
and heard his word.
10:40 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.
10:41 And Jesus answered,
and said unto her,
Martha, Martha,
thou art careful, and
troubled about many things.
10:42 But one thing is needful.
And Mary hath chosen
that good part,
which shall
not be taken away from her.
Ch. 11 Luke
11:1 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.
11:2 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.
11:3 Give us, day by day,
our daily bread.
11:4 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.
11:5 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;
11:6 for a friend of mine
in his journey is come to me,
and I have nothing to set
before him?
11:7 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.
11:8 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.
11:9 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.
11:10 For every one that asketh,
receiveth;
and he that seeketh
findeth;
and to him that knocketh,
it shall be opened.
11:11 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?
11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion?
11:13 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?
11:14 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.
11:15 But some of them said,
He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub ,
the chief of the devils.
11:16 And others,
tempting him,
sought of him a sign from
heaven.
11:17 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.
11:18 If Satan also be divided
against himself,
how shall his kingdom stand?
Because ye say, that I cast out
devils through Beelzebub.
11:19 And if I, by Beelzebub
cast out devils,
by whom do your
sons cast them out?
Therefore,
shall they be your judges.
11:20 But if I,
with the finger of God
cast out devils,
no doubt,
the kingdom of God is
come upon you.
11:21 When a strong man
armed keepeth his palace,
his goods are in peace.
11:22 But when a stronger
than he shall come upon him,
and overcome him,
he taketh from him,
all his armor wherein he
trusted,
and divideth his spoils.
11:23 He that is not with me
is against me.
And he that gathereth
not with me,
scattereth.
11:24 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.
11:25 And when he cometh,
he findeth it swept,
and garnished.
11:26 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.
11:27 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.
11:28 But he said,
yea, rather
blessed are they that
hear the word of
God,
and keep it.
11:29 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.
11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto
the Ninevites,
so shall also the
Son of man be to this
generation.
11:31 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.
11:32 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.
11:33 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.
11:34 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.
11:35 Take heed therefore,
that the light which is in thee,
be not darkness.
11:36 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.
11:37 And as he spake,
a certain Pharisee
besought him
to dine with him.
And he went in
and sat down to meat.
11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it,
he marveled that he had not
first washed before dinner.
11:39 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.
11:40 Ye fools,
did not he that made that
which is without,
make that which is within also?
11:41 But rather
give alms of such things as
ye have;
and behold,
all things are clean unto you.
11:42 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.
11:43 Woe unto you Pharisees!
For ye love the
uppermost seats in the
synagogues,
and greetings in the markets.
11:44 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.
11:45 Then answered one of the
lawyers
and said unto him,
Master,
thus saying,
thou reproachest us also.
11:46 And he said,
woe unto you also, lawyers!
For ye lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne,
and ye yourselves touch not
the burdens with one of
your fingers.
11:47 Woe unto you!
For ye build the sepulchres of the
prophets,
and your fathers killed them.
11:48 Truly ye bear witness
that ye allow the deeds of
your fathers.
For they indeed killed them,
and ye build their sepulchres.
11:49 Therefore also
said the wisdom of God,
I will send them prophets
and apostles,
and some of them they shall
slay and persecute;
11:50 that
the blood of all the prophets,
which was shed from the
foundation of the world,
may be required of this generation.
11:51 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.
11:52 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.
11:53 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;
11:54 laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something
out of his mouth,
that they might accuse him.
Ch. 12 Luke
12:1 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.
12:2 For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed;
neither hid,
that shall not be known.
12:3 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.
12:4 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.
12:5 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.
12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for
two farthings,
and not one of them is
forgotten before God?
12:7 But even the very hairs
of your head are all
numbered.
Fear not therefore.
Ye are of more value than
many sparrows.
12:8 Also, I say unto you,
whosoever shall confess me
before men,
him shall the Son of man
also confess,
before the angels of God.
12:9 But he that denieth me
before men,
shall be denied before the
angels of God.
12:10 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.
12:11 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.
12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall
teach you in the same hour
what ye ought to say.
12:13 And one of the company
said unto him,
Master,
speak to my brother,
that he divide the
inheritance with me.
12:14 And he said unto him,
man,
who made me a judge
or a divider over you?
12:15 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.
12:16 And he spake a
parable unto them
saying,
the ground of a certain rich man
brought forth plentifully.
12:17 And he thought within himself,
saying,
what shall I do,
because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits?
12:18 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.
12:19 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.
12:20 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?
12:21 So is he,
that layeth up treasure
for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
12:22 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.
12:23 The life is more than meat,
and the body is more than
raiment.
12:24 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?
12:25 And which of you
with taking thought,
can add to his stature
one cubit?
12:26 If ye then,
be not able to do that thing
which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?
12:27 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.
12:28 If then God so clothe the grass,
which is today in the field,
and tomorrow is cast into
the oven;
how much more will he
clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
12:29 And seek not ye what ye
shall eat,
or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful
mind.
12:30 For all these things do the
nations of the world
seek after.
And your Father knoweth
that ye have need of
these things.
12:31 But rather, seek ye the
kingdom of God;
and all these things shall be
added unto you.
12:32 Fear not little flock;
for it is your Father's
good pleasure to give you
the kingdom.
12:33 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.
12:34 For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
12:35 Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning;
12:36 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.
12:37 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.
12:38 And if he shall come in the
second watch,
or come in the third watch,
and find them so,
blessed are those servants.
12:39 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.
12:40 Be ye therefore ready also.
For the Son of man cometh
at an hour when ye
think not.
12:41 Then Peter said unto him,
Lord,
speakest thou this parable
unto us,
or even to all?
12:42 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?
12:43 Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he
cometh,
shall find so doing.
12:44 Of a truth I say unto you,
that he will make him
ruler over all that he hath.
12:45 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;
12:46 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.
12:47 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.
12:48 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.
12:49 I am come to send
fire on the earth;
and what will I,
if it be already kindled?
12:50 But I have a baptism
to be baptized with;
and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!
12:51 Suppose ye that
I am come to
give peace on earth?
I tell you nay;
but rather,
division.
12:52 For from henceforth,
there shall be five
in one house divided,
three against two,
and two against three.
12:53 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.
12:54 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.
12:55 And when ye see the
south wind blow,
ye say,
there will be heat;
and it cometh to pass.
12:56 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?
12:57 Yea,
and why even of yourselves,
judge ye not what is right?
12:58 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.
12:59 I tell thee,
thou shalt not depart thence,
till thou hast paid the very last
mite.
Ch. 13 Luke
13:1 There were present,
at that season,
some that told him of the
Galilaeans,
whose blood Pilate had
mingled with their sacrifices.
13:2 And Jesus answering
said unto them,
suppose ye that these
Galilaeans were sinners,
above all the Galilaeans,
because they suffered
such things?
13:3 I tell you, nay.
But, except ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish.
13:4 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?
13:5 I tell you nay.
But except ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish.
13:6 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.
13:7 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?
13:8 And he answering
said unto him,
Lord,
let it alone this year also,
till I shall dig about it,
and dung it.
13:9 And if it bear fruit,
well.
And if not,
then after that thou shalt
cut it down.
13:10 And he was teaching in one
of the synagogues on the
Sabbath.
13:11 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.
13:12 And when Jesus
saw her,
he called her to him
and said unto her,
woman,
thou art loosed from thine
infirmity.
13:13 And he laid his hands
on her.
And immediately,
she was made straight,
and glorified God.
13:14 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.
13:15 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?
13:16 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?
13:17 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.
13:18 Then said he,
unto what is the
kingdom of God like?
And whereunto shall I
resemble it?
13:19 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.
13:20 And again he said,
whereunto shall I liken
the kingdom of God?
13:21 It is like leaven,
which a woman took,
and hid in three measures
of meal,
till the whole was leavened.
13:22 And he went through the
cities and villages,
teaching,
and journeying toward
Jerusalem.
13:23 Then said one unto him,
Lord,
are there few that be saved?
And he said unto them,
13:24 strive to enter in
at the strait gate.
For many
I say unto you,
will seek to enter in,
and shall not be able.
13:25 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.
13:26 Then shall ye begin to say,
we have eaten and
drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught
in our streets.
13:27 But he shall say,
I tell you,
I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me,
all workers of iniquity.
13:28 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.
13:29 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.
13:30 And behold,
there are last which
shall be first,
and there are first,
which shall be last.
13:31 The same day
there came certain of the
Pharisees saying unto him,
get thee out,
and depart hence.
For Herod will kill thee.
13:32 And he said unto them,
go ye, and tell that fox,
behold,
I cast out devils,
and I do cures
today and tomorrow,
and the third day
I shall be perfected.
13:33 Nevertheless,
I must walk to day,
and tomorrow,
and the day following.
For it cannot be
that a prophet perish,
out of Jerusalem.
13:34 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!
13:35 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.
Ch. 14 Luke
14:1 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.
14:2 And behold,
there was a certain man
before him which had
the dropsy.
14:3 And Jesus,
answering,
spake unto the lawyers
and Pharisees
saying,
is it lawful to heal
on the Sabbath day?
14:4 And they held their
peace.
And he took him,
and healed him,
and let him go;
14:5 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?
14:6 And they could not
answer him again to
these things.
14:7 And he put forth a parable
to those which were bidden,
when he marked how
they chose out the chief rooms;
saying unto them;
14:8 when thou art bidden
of any man to a wedding,
sit not down in the
highest room;
lest a more honorable man
than thou, be bidden of him;
14:9 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.
14:10 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.
14:11 For whosoever exalteth
himself,
shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself,
shall be exalted.
14:12 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 neighbors;
lest they also bid thee again,
and a recompence be made thee.
14:13 But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed,
the lame, the blind.
14:14 And thou shalt be blessed;
for they cannot recompense thee.
For thou shalt be recompensed
at the resurrection of the just.
14:15 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.
14:16 Then said he unto him,
a certain man made a
great supper,
and bade many.
14:17 And sent his servant at
supper time to say to them
that were bidden,
come;
for all things are now ready.
14:18 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 (to)
go and see it.
I pray thee,
have me excused.
14:19 And another said,
I have bought five yoke
of oxen,
and I go to prove them.
I pray thee,
have me excused.
14:20 And another said,
I have married a wife,
and therefore I cannot come.
14:21 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.
14:22 And the servant said,
Lord,
it is done as thou hast
commanded,
and yet,
there is room.
14:23 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.
14:24 For I say unto you,
that none of those men
which were bidden,
shall taste of my supper.
14:25 And there went
great multitudes with him.
And he turned,
and said unto them,
14:26 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.
14:27 And whosoever doth not
bear his cross,
and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.
14:28 For which of you,
intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost,
whether he have sufficient
to finish it?
14:29 Lest haply,
after he hath laid the
foundation,
and is not able to finish it,
all that behold it begin to
mock him,
14:30 saying,
this man began to build,
and was not able to finish.
14:31 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?
14:32 Or else,
while the other is yet a
great way off,
he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions
of peace.
14:33 So likewise,
whosoever he be of you,
that forsaketh not all that
he hath,
he cannot be my disciple.
14:34 Salt is good.
But if the salt have lost his savor,
wherewith shall it be seasoned?
14:35 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.
Ch. 15 Luke
15:1 Then drew near unto him,
all the publicans and sinners
for to hear him.
15:2 And the Pharisees
and scribes murmured
saying,
this man receiveth sinners,
and eateth with them.
15:3 And he spake this parable
unto them
saying,
15:4 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?
15:5 And when he hath
found it,
he layeth it on his
shoulders,
rejoicing.
15:6 And when he cometh home,
he calleth together his
friends and neighbors,
saying unto them,
rejoice with me;
for I have found my sheep
which was lost.
15:7 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.
15:8 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?
15:9 And when she hath found it,
she calleth her friends and her
neighbors together
saying,
rejoice with me;
for I have found the
piece which I had lost.
15:10 Likewise I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence
of the angels of God,
over one sinner that repenteth.
15:11 And he said,
a certain man had two sons.
15:12 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.
15:13 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.
15:14 And when he had spent all,
there arose a
mighty famine in that land;
and he began to be in want.
15:15 And he went,
and joined himself to a
citizen of that country;
and he sent him into his fields
to feed swine.
15:16 And he would fain
have filled his belly with the
husks that the swine did eat.
And no man gave unto him.
15:17 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!
15:18 I will arise
and go to my father,
and will say unto him,
father,
I have sinned against
heaven and before
thee,
15:19 and am no more worthy
to be called thy son.
Make me as one of thy
hired servants.
15:20 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.
15:21 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.
15:22 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.
15:23 And bring hither the
fatted calf and kill it;
and let us eat, and be merry.
15:24 For this my son was dead,
and is alive again;
he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry.
15:25 Now his elder son was
in the field.
And as he came and
drew nigh to the house,
he heard music and dancing.
15:26 And he called one of
the servants,
and asked what these things
meant.
15:27 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.
15:28 And he was angry,
and would not go in.
Therefore came his father out,
and entreated him.
15:29 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
15:30 But as soon as this
thy son was come,
which hath devoured
thy living with harlots,
thou hast killed for him
the fatted calf.
15:31 And he said unto him,
son, thou art ever with me,
and all that I have is thine.
15:32 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.
Ch. 16 Luke
16:1 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.
16:2 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.
16:3 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.
16:4 I am resolved what to do,
that when I am put out of
the stewardship,
they may receive me
into their houses.
16:5 So he called every one of
his lord's debtors unto him
and said unto the first,
how much owest thou,
unto my lord?
16:6 And he said,
an hundred measures
of oil.
And he said unto him,
take thy bill,
and sit down quickly,
and write fifty.
16:7 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.
16:8 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.
16:9 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.
16:10 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.
16:11 If therefore,
ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust
the true riches?
16:12 And if ye have not been
faithful in that which
is another man's,
who shall give you that
which is your own?
16:13 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.
16:14 And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous,
heard all these things
and they derided him.
16:15 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.
16:16 The law and the prophets
were until John.
Since that time,
the kingdom of God is preached,
and every man presseth into it.
16:17 And it is easier for
heaven and earth to pass,
than one tittle of the law
to fail.
16:18 Whosoever putteth away
his wife and marrieth another,
committeth adultery.
And whosoever marrieth her
that is put away from
her husband,
committeth adultery.
16:19 There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple
and fine linen,
and fared sumptuously every day.
16:20 And there was a
certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate,
full of sores,
16:21 and
desiring to be fed with the
crumbs which fell
from the rich man's table.
Moreover, the dogs came and
licked his sores.
16:22 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.
16:23 And in hell,
he lift up his eyes,
being in torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off,
and Lazarus, in his bosom.
16:24 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.
16:25 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.
16:26 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.
16:27 Then he said,
I pray thee therefore,
father,
that thou wouldest send him
to my father's house.
16:28 For I have five brethren;
that he may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this
place of torment.
16:29 Abraham saith unto him,
they have Moses and the
prophets;
let them hear them.
16:30 And he said,
nay, father Abraham:
But if one went unto them
from the dead,
they will repent.
16:31 And he said unto him,
if they hear not Moses
and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead.
Ch. 17 Luke
17:1 Then said he unto
the disciples,
it is impossible,
but that offences will come.
But woe unto him,
through whom they come!
17:2 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.
17:3 Take heed to yourselves.
If thy brother trespass
against thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him.
17:4 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.
17:5 And the apostles
said unto the Lord,
increase our faith.
17:6 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.
17:7 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?
17:8 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?
17:9 Doth he thank that servant;
because he did the things
that were commanded him?
I *think* not.
17:10 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.
17:11 And it came to pass,
as he went to Jerusalem,
that he passed through the
midst of Samaria and
Galilee.
17:12 And as he entered into a
certain village,
there met him ten men that
were lepers, which stood
afar off.
17:13 And they lifted up their
voices and said,
Jesus, Master,
have mercy on us.
17:14 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.
17:15 And one of them,
when he saw that he
was healed,
turned back,
and with a loud voice,
glorified God,
17:16 and
fell down on his face
at his feet,
giving him thanks.
And he was a Samaritan.
17:17 And Jesus, answering said,
were there not ten cleansed?
But where are the nine?
17:18 There are not found that
returned to give
glory to God,
save this stranger.
17:19 And he said unto him,
arise, go thy way.
Thy faith hath made thee
whole.
17:20 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.
17:21 Neither shall they say,
lo here! or, lo there!
For behold,
the kingdom of God is
within* you.
17:22 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.
17:23 And they shall say to you,
see here;
or, see there.
Go not after them,
nor follow them.
17:24 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.
17:25 But first,
must he suffer many
things,
and be rejected of
this generation.
17:26 And as it was in the
days of Noe,
so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of man.
17:27 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.
17:28 Likewise also
as it was in the days of Lot;
they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold,
they planted, they builded;
17:29 but the same day that
Lot went out of Sodom,
it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all.
17:30 Even thus shall it be,
in the day when
The Son of man is
revealed.
17:31 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.
17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
17:33 Whosoever shall seek to
save his life,
shall lose it;
and who so ever shall
lose his life,
shall preserve it.
17:34 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.
17:35 Two women shall be
grinding together;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
17:36 Two men shall be
in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
17:37 And they answered
and said unto him,
where, Lord?
And he said unto them,
where so ever the body is,
thither, will the eagles be
gathered together.
( 17:9 think =*trow* KJV));
(17:21 within; inside you,* in your midst*, among you*,
all part of you)
Ch. 18 Luke
18:1 And he spake a
parable unto them
to this end,
that men ought always
to pray,
and not to faint;
18:2 saying,
there was in a city a judge,
which feared not God,
neither regarded man.
18:3 And there was a widow
in that city;
and she came unto him,
saying,
avenge me of mine adversary.
18:4 And he would not for
a while.
But afterward he said
within himself,
though I fear not God,
nor regard man;
18:5 yet because this widow
troubleth me,
I will avenge her,
lest by her continual coming,
she weary me.
18:6 And the Lord said,
hear what the unjust
judge saith.
18:7 And shall not God,
avenge his own elect,
which cry day
and night unto him,
though he bear long
with them?
18:8 I tell you,
that he will avenge them
speedily.
Nevertheless, when the
Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith
on the earth?
18:9 And he spake this parable,
unto certain,
which trusted in themselves
that they were righteous,
and despised others.
18:10 Two men went up
into the temple to pray.
The one a Pharisee,
and the other a publican.
18:11 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.
18:12 I fast twice in the week,
I give tithes of all that I
possess.
18:13 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.
18:14 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.
18:15 And they brought unto him
also, infants,
that he would touch them.
But when his disciples saw it,
they rebuked them.
18:16 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.
18:17 Verily I say unto you,
whosoever shall not receive
the kingdom of God
as a little child,
shall in no wise enter therein.
18:18 And a certain ruler
asked him
saying,
Good Master,
what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
18:19 And Jesus said unto him,
why callest thou me good?
None is good,
save one,
that is God.
18:20 Thou knowest the
commandments.
Do not commit adultery,
do not kill, do not steal,
do not bear false witness,
honor thy father and thy
mother.
18:21 And he said,
all these have I
kept from my youth up.
18:22 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.
18:23 And when he heard this,
he was very sorrowful.
For he was very rich.
18:24 And when Jesus saw
that he was very sorrowful
he said,
how hardly shall they
that have riches,
enter into the
kingdom of God!
18:25 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.
18:26 And they that heard it
said,
who then can be saved?
18:27 And he said,
the things which are
impossible with men,
are possible with God.
18:28 Then Peter said,
lo,
we have left all
and followed thee.
18:29 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,
18:30 who shall not receive
manifold more
in this present time,
and,
in the world to come,
life everlasting.
18:31 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.
18:32 For he shall be delivered
unto the Gentiles,
and shall be mocked,
and spitefully entreated
and spitted on.
18:33 And they shall scourge him,
and put him to death.
And the third day,
he shall rise again.
18:34 And they understood
none of these things.
And this saying was
hid from them,
neither knew they
the things which were
spoken.
18:35 And it came to pass,
that as he was come nigh
unto Jericho,
a certain blind man
sat by the way side
begging.
18:36 And hearing the
multitude pass by,
he asked what it meant.
18:37 And they told him that
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
18:38 And he cried,
saying,
Jesus,
Thou son of David,
have mercy on me.
18:39 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.
18:40 And Jesus stood,
and commanded him
to be brought unto him.
And when he was come near,
he asked him
18:41 saying,
what wilt thou that I
shall do unto thee?
And he said,
Lord,
that I may receive my sight.
18:42 And Jesus said unto him,
receive thy sight.
Thy faith hath saved thee.
18:43 And immediately
he received his sight,
and followed him,
glorifying God.
And all the people,
when they saw it,
gave praise unto God.
Ch. 19 Luke
19:1 And Jesus entered
and passed through Jericho.
19:2 And behold, there was a
man named Zacchaeus,
which was the chief
among the publicans,
and he was rich.
19:3 And he sought
to see Jesus,
who he was;
and could not for the press,
because he was little
of stature.
19:4 And he ran before,
and climbed up into a
sycamore tree to see him.
For he was to pass that way.
19:5 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.
19:6 And he made haste,
and came down,
and received him joyfully.
19:7 And when they saw it,
they all murmured,
saying that he was gone
to be guest,
with a man that is a
sinner.
19:8 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 anything,
from any man by false accusation,
I restore him, fourfold.
19:9 And Jesus said unto him,
this day is salvation
come to this house,
for so much as he also,
is a son of Abraham.
19:10 For the Son of man
is come to seek
and to save,
that which was lost.
19:11 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.
19:12 He said therefore,
a certain nobleman
went into a far country,
to receive for himself a kingdom,
and to return.
19:13 And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them,
occupy till I come.
19:14 But his citizens hated him,
and sent a message after him
saying,
we will not have this man
to reign over us.
19:15 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.
19:16 Then came the first
saying,
Lord,
thy pound hath gained
ten pounds.
19:17 And he said unto him,
well, thou good servant.
Because thou hast been
faithful in a very little,
have thou authority over
ten cities.
19:18 And the second came
saying,
Lord,
thy pound hath gained
five pounds.
19:19 And he said likewise
to him,
be thou, also,
over five cities.
19:20 And another came
saying,
Lord, behold,
here is thy pound,
which I have kept
laid up in a napkin.
19:21 For I feared thee,
because thou art an
austere man.
Thou takest up that
which thou layedst not down,
and reapest that thou didst
not sow.
19:22 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.
19:23 Wherefore then,
gavest not, thou,
my money into the bank,
that at my coming,
I might have required
mine own, with usury?
19:24 And he said unto them
that stood by,
take from him the pound,
and give it to him that hath
ten pounds.
19:25 (And they said unto him,
Lord,
he hath ten pounds.)
19:26 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.
19:27 But those mine enemies,
which would not that
I should reign over them,
bring hither,
and slay them before me.
19:28 And when he had
thus spoken,
he went before,
ascending, up to Jerusalem.
19:29 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,
19:30 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.
19:31 And if any man ask you,
why do ye loose him;
thus shall ye say unto him,
because the Lord hath need of him.
19:32 And they that were sent,
went their way,
and found even as he had
said unto them.
19:33 And as they were loosing
the colt,
the owners thereof said
unto them,
why loose ye the colt?
19:34 And they said,
The Lord hath need of him.
19:35 And they brought him
to Jesus.
And they cast their garments
upon the colt,
and they set Jesus thereon.
19:36 And as he went,
they spread their
clothes in the way.
19:37 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;
19:38 saying,
Blessed be the King that cometh,
in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven,
and glory in the highest.
19:39 And some of the Pharisees
from among the multitude
said unto him,
Master,
rebuke thy disciples.
19:40 And he answered
and said unto them,
I tell you, that if these
should hold their peace,
the stones would immediately
cry out.
19:41 And when he was
come near,
he beheld the city,
and wept over it,
19:42 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.
19:43 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,
19:44 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.
19:45 And he went into the temple,
and began to cast out
them that sold therein,
and them that bought;
19:46 saying unto them,
it is written,
My house is the house
of prayer.
But ye have made it a
den of thieves.
19:47 And he taught daily
in the temple.
But the chief priests
and the scribes
and the chief of the people
sought to destroy him,
19:48 and
could not find
what they might do.
For all the people were
very attentive to hear him.
Ch. 20 Luke
20:1 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,
20:2 and
spake unto him
saying,
tell us, by what authority
doest thou these things?
Or who is he that gave thee
this authority?
20:3 And he answered,
and said unto them,
I will also ask you
one thing;
and answer me.
20:4 The baptism of John,
was it from heaven,
or of men?
20:5 And they reasoned
with themselves,
saying,
if we shall say,
from heaven;
he will say,
why then believed
ye him not?
20:6 But and if we say, of men;
all the people will stone us.
For they be persuaded that
John was a prophet.
20:7 And they answered
that they could not tell,
whence it was.
20:8 And Jesus said unto
them,
neither tell I you
by what authority I
do these things.
20:9 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.
20:10 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.
20:11 And again,
he sent another servant.
And they beat him also,
and entreated him shamefully,
and sent him away empty.
20:12 And again he sent a third.
And they wounded him also,
and cast him out.
20:13 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.
20:14 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.
20:15 So they cast him out of
the vineyard, and killed him.
What, therefore, shall
the lord of the vineyard do
unto them?
20:16 He shall come and
destroy these husbandmen,
and shall give the vineyard
to others.
And when they
heard it they said,
God forbid.
20:17 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?
20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon
that stone shall be broken;
but on whomsoever
it shall fall,
it will grind him to powder.
20:19 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.
20:20 And they watched him,
and sent forth spies,
which should feign
themselves just men,
that they might take hold
of his words,
so that they might
deliver him unto the
power and authority of the
governor.
20:21 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.
20:22 Is it lawful for us
to give tribute unto
Caesar,
or no?
20:23 But he perceived their
craftiness
and said unto them,
why tempt ye me?
20:24 Shew me a penny.
Whose image and
superscription hath it?
They answered and said,
Caesar's.
20:25 And he said unto them,
render therefore, unto Caesar,
the things which be Caesar's,
and unto God,
the things which be God's.
20:26 And they could not
take hold of his words
before the people.
And they marveled
at his answer,
and held their peace.
20:27 Then came to him
certain of the Sadducees,
which deny that there
is any resurrection;
and they asked him,
20:28 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.
20:29 There were therefore,
seven brethren.
And the first took a wife,
and died without children.
20:30 And the second took her
to wife,
and he died childless.
20:31 And the third took her;
and in like manner, the seven also.
And they left no children, and died.
20:32 Last of all,
the woman died also.
20:33 Therefore,
in the resurrection,
whose wife of them is she?
For seven had her to wife.
20:34 And Jesus,
answering,
said unto them,
the children of this world
marry,
and are given in marriage.
20:35 But they which shall be
accounted worthy to
obtain that world,
and the resurrection from
the dead,
neither marry,
nor are given in marriage.
20:36 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.
20:37 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.
20:38 For he is not a God
of the dead,
but of the living.
For all live unto him.
20:39 Then certain of the
scribes answering,
said,
Master,
thou hast well said.
20:40 And after that,
they durst not
ask him any
question at all.
20:41 And he said unto them,
how say they that Christ is
David's son?
20:42 And David himself saith
in the book of Psalms,
The LORD said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
20:43 till I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
20:44 David therefore,
calleth him Lord.
How is he then his son?
20:45 Then,
in the audience of all
the people,
he said unto his disciples,
20:46 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;
20:47 which devour widows' houses,
and for a shew,
make long prayers.
The same shall receive
greater damnation.
Ch. 21 Luke
21:1 And he looked up,
and saw the rich men
casting their gifts into the
treasury.
21:2 And he saw also
a certain poor widow,
casting in thither two mites.
21:3 And he said,
of a truth I say unto you,
that this poor widow hath
cast in more than they all.
21:4 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.
21:5 And as some spake of the
temple,
how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts,
he said,
21:6 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.
21:7 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?
21:8 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.
21:9 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.
21:10 Then said he unto them,
nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
21:11 And great earthquakes
shall be in divers places,
and famines, and pestilences;
and fearful sights,
and great signs shall there be
from heaven.
21:12 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.
21:13 And it shall turn to you
for a testimony.
21:14 Settle it therefore in your
hearts,
not to meditate before
what ye shall answer.
21:15 For I will give you a
mouth, and wisdom,
which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay,
nor resist.
21:16 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.
21:17 And ye shall be
hated of all men,
for my name's sake.
21:18 But there shall not
an hair of your head perish.
21:19 In your patience
possess ye your souls.
21:20 And when ye shall see
Jerusalem compassed
with armies,
then know that the
desolation thereof
is nigh.
21:21 Then let them which are
in Judea 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 there into.
21:22 For these be the days
of vengeance,
that all things which
are written,
may be fulfilled.
21:23 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.
21:24 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.
21:25 And there shall be signs
in the sun,
and in the moon,
and in the stars;
and upon the earth,
distress of nations,
with perplexit
