017:001  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

017:002 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.

017:003 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

017:004 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.

017:005 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

017:006 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.

017:007 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?

017:008 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?

017:009 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

017:010 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.

017:011 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

017:012 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

017:013 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

017:014 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.

017:015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

017:016 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

017:017 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

017:018 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

017:019 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made&127; thee whole.

017:020 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:

017:021 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

017:022 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.

017:023 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

017:024 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.

017:025 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

017:026 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

017:027 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.

017:028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

017:029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

017:030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

017:031 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.

017:032 Remember Lot's wife.

017:033 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

017:034 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.

017:035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

017:036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

017:037 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said&127; unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

018:001  And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

018:011 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.

018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

018:013 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.

018:014 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.

018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

018:016 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.

018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

018:020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

018:022 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.

018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

018:025 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.

018:026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

018:027 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

018:028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

018:029 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,

018:030 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

018:031 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.

018:032 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

018:033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

018:034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

018:035 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

018:036 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

018:037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

018:038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

018:039 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.

018:040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

018:041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

018:042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

018:043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

019:001  And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

019:002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

019:003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

019:004 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

019:005 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.

019:006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

019:007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

019:008 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

019:011 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.

019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

019:015 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.

019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

019:019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

019:020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

019:021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

019:022 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:

019:023 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

019:024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.&127;

019:025 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

019:026 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.

019:027 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

019:028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

019:029 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,

019:030 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.

019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

019:037 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;

019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

019:042 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.

019:043 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,

019:044 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.

019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

020:001  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,

020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

020:009 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.

020:010 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.

020:011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

020:012 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

020:013 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.

020:014 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.

020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

020:017 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?

020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

020:019 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.

020:020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

020:021 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:

020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

020:024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

020:028 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.

020:029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

020:030 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

020:031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

020:032 Last of all the woman died also.

020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

020:034 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

020:035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

020:036 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.

020:037 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.

020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

020:046 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;

020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
