013:001  The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

013:002 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

013:011 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

013:012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

013:014 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

013:015 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

013:017 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men 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.

013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

013:019 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

013:021 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

013:022 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

013:023 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

013:031 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

013:032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

013:033 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

013:035 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

013:036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

013:041 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

013:044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

013:052 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

013:054 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

013:057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

014:001  At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

014:009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

014:013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

014:015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.

014:019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

014:022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

014:023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

014:035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

015:001  Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

015:006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

015:030 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

015:031 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

015:032 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

015:033 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

015:034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

015:035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

015:036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

015:038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

015:039 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

016:001  The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

016:002 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

016:003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

016:004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

016:005 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

016:006 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

016:007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

016:008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

016:009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

016:010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

016:011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

016:012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

016:013 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

016:014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

016:015 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

016:016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

016:017 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

016:018 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

016:019 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

016:020 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

016:021 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

016:022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

016:023 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

016:024 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

016:025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

016:026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

016:027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

016:028 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

017:001  And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

017:002 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

017:003 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

017:004 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

017:005 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

017:006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

017:007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

017:008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

017:009 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

017:010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

017:011 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

017:012 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

017:013 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

017:014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

017:015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.&127;

017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

017:020 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

018:001  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

018:007 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

018:008 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

018:009 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

018:010 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

018:012 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

018:013 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

018:015 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

018:016 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

018:017 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as&127; an heathen man and a publican.

018:018 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

018:019 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

018:020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

018:021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

018:022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

018:023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

018:024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

018:025 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

018:026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

018:027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

018:028 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

018:029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

018:030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

018:031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

018:032 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

018:033 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

018:034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

018:035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
