009:001  Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

009:005 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.

009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

009:007 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;

009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

009:010 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.

009:011 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.

009:012 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.

009:013 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.

009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

009:016 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.

009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

009:018 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?

009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

009:022 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.

009:023 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.

009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

009:026 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.

009:027 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.

009:028 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.

009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

009:032 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.

009:033 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.

009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

009:036 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.

009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

009:039 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.

009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

009:042 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.

009:043 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,

009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.&127;

009:045 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.

009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

009:048 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.

009:049 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.

009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

009:051 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

009:054 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?

009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

009:057 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.

009:058 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.

009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

010:001  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.

010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.&127;

010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

010:007 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

010:011 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.

010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

010:013 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.

010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

010:019 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.

010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

010:021 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.

010:022 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.

010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

010:024 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.

010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

010:027 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

010:030 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.

010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

010:034 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.

010:035 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.

010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

010:038 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.

010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

010:040 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.

010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

011:001  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.

011:002 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.

011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread.

011:004 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.

011:005 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;

011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

011:007 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.

011:008 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.

011:009 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.

011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

011:011 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?

011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

011:013 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?

011:014 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.

011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

011:017 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.

011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

011:022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

011:024 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.

011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

011:026 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more&127; wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

011:027 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.

011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

011:029 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.

011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

011:031 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.

011:032 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.

011:033 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.

011:034 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.

011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

011:036 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.

011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

011:039 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.

011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

011:042 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.

011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

011:044 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.

011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

011:046 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

011:047 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

011:048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers:&127; for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

011:049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

011:050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

011:051 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.

011:052 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.

011:053 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:

011:054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

012:001  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.

012:002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

012:003 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.

012:004 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.

012:005 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.

012:006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

012:007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

012:008 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

012:009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

012:010 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.

012:011 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:

012:012 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

012:013 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

012:014 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

012:015 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.

012:016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

012:017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

012:018 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.

012:019 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.

012:020 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?

012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

012:022 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.

012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

012:024 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?

012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

012:027 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.

012:028 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

012:033 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.

012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

012:036 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.

012:037 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.

012:038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

012:039 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.

012:040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

012:042 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?

012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

012:045 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;

012:046 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.

012:047 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.

012:048 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.

012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:&127;
