THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat Judas and his brethren;
Matthew 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
Matthew 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson;
and Naasson begat Salmon;
Matthew 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed
of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Matthew 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king
begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Matthew 1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and
Abia begat Asa;
Matthew 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and
Joram begat Ozias;
Matthew 1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and
Achaz begat Ezekias;
Matthew 1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
Matthew 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about
the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Matthew 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias
begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
Matthew 1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim;
and Eliakim begat Azor;
Matthew 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and
Achim begat Eliud;
Matthew 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan;
and Matthan begat Jacob;
Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom
was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are
fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into
Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into
Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When
as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not
willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
privily.
Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the
angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for
that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring
forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel
of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem,
Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ
should be born.
Matthew 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for
thus it is written by the prophet,
Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a
Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring
me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was.
Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped
him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto
him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should
not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another
way.
Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there
until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to
destroy him.
Matthew 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother
by night, and departed into Egypt:
Matthew 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the
wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the
children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof,
from two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently enquired of the wise men.
Matthew 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying,
Matthew 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they are not.
Matthew 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Matthew 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which
sought the young child’s life.
Matthew 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his
mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Matthew 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea
in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside
into the parts of Galilee:
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall
be called a Nazarene.
Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of Judaea,
Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet
Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and
a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and
wild honey.
Matthew 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and
all the region round about Jordan,
Matthew 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their
sins.
Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matthew 3:9 And think 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.
Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the
trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but
he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with
fire:
Matthew 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge
his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John,
to be baptized of him.
Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Matthew 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to
be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Then he suffered him.
Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway
out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon
him:
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Matthew 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he
was afterward an hungred.
Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be
the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God.
Matthew 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and
setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge
concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest
at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them;
Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for
it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.
Matthew 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came
and ministered unto him.
Matthew 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into
prison, he departed into Galilee;
Matthew 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum,
which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and
Nephthalim:
Matthew 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet, saying,
Matthew 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by
the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and
to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a
net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make
you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed
him.
Matthew 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren,
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with
Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Matthew 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father,
and followed him.
Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they
brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers
diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils,
and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and
he healed them.
Matthew 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people
from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Matthew 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Matthew 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be
comforted.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the
earth.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called
the children of God.
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were
before you.
Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have
lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot
of men.
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on
an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that
are in the house.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least
in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger
of the judgment:
Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of
the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire.
Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Matthew 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer
thy gift.
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art
in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee
to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.
Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come
out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,
Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart.
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast
into hell.
Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and
cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast
into hell.
Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery.
Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them
of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform
unto the Lord thine oaths:
Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by
heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Matthew 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
canst not make one hair white or black.
Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also.
Matthew 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Matthew 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with
him twain.
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is
in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have
ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Matthew 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
than others? do not even the publicans so?
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be
seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is
in heaven.
Matthew 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a
trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth:
Matthew 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which
seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the
heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.
Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father
knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is
in heaven.
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for
ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you:
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of
a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
Matthew 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and
wash thy face;
Matthew 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy
Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal:
Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be
full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6:24 No man 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.
Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and
the body than raiment?
Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto
his stature?
Matthew 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they
spin:
Matthew 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not
much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own
eye?
Matthew 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out
the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own
eye?
Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine
own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out
of thy brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither
cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under
their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask
bread, will he give him a stone?
Matthew 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and
the prophets.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:
Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built
his house upon the sand:
Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was
the fall of it.
Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these
sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Matthew 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not
as the scribes.
Matthew 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed him.
Matthew 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Matthew 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying,
I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go
thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Matthew 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came
unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Matthew 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the
palsy, grievously tormented.
Matthew 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy
that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only,
and my servant shall be healed.
Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under
me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come,
and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them
that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
Matthew 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the
east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out
into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as
thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was
healed in the selfsame hour.
Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw
his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
Matthew 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and
she arose, and ministered unto them.
Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many
that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with
his word, and healed all that were sick:
Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.
Matthew 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he
gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
Matthew 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master,
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and
the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where
to lay his head.
Matthew 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead
bury their dead.
Matthew 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples
followed him.
Matthew 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,
insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was
asleep.
Matthew 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying,
Lord, save us: we perish.
Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea;
and there was a great calm.
Matthew 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is
this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the
country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with
devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man
might pass by that way.
Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to
do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to
torment us before the time?
Matthew 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of
many swine feeding.
Matthew 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us
out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
Matthew 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come
out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd
of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and
perished in the waters.
Matthew 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways
into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the
possessed of the devils.
Matthew 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus:
and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out
of their coasts.
Matthew 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came
into his own city.
Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the
palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the
sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
thee.
Matthew 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within
themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think
ye evil in your hearts?
Matthew 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven
thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)
Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Matthew 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
Matthew 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and
glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Matthew 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto
him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Matthew 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the
house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with
him and his disciples.
Matthew 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his
disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They
that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why
do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them,
and then shall they fast.
Matthew 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old
garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the
garment, and the rent is made worse.
Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else
the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles
perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved.
Matthew 9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there
came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is
even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall
live.
Matthew 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his
disciples.
Matthew 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an
issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem
of his garment:
Matthew 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his
garment, I shall be whole.
Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he
said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Matthew 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw
the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Matthew 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Matthew 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and
took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Matthew 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Matthew 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men
followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on
us.
Matthew 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men
came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able
to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your
faith be it unto you.
Matthew 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly
charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
Matthew 9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his
fame in all that country.
Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb
man possessed with a devil.
Matthew 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and
the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through
the prince of the devils.
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the
people.
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly
is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples,
he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and
to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Matthew 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The
first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James
the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Matthew 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname
was Thaddaeus;
Matthew 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed him.
Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of
the Samaritans enter ye not:
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Matthew 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses,
Matthew 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his
meat.
Matthew 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
Matthew 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
Matthew 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon
it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the
dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than
for that city.
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to
the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Matthew 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour
what ye shall speak.
Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh in you.
Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to
death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up
against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye
into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the
servant above his lord.
Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his
master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the
master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them
of his household?
Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be
known.
Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light:
and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than
many sparrows.
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him
will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I
also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not
worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is
not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Matthew 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet
shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man’s reward.
Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these
little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matthew 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and
to preach in their cities.
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of
Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Matthew 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or
do we look for another?
Matthew 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John
again those things which ye do hear and see:
Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up,
and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in
me.
Matthew 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the
multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness
to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Matthew 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in
soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’
houses.
Matthew 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I
say unto you, and more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I
send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee.
Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of
women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by
force.
Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until
John.
Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was
for to come.
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is
like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows,
Matthew 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they
say, He hath a devil.
Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they
say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Matthew 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Matthew 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida!
for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and
ashes.
Matthew 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have
been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
until this day.
Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
babes.
Matthew 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and
no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man
the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through
the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck
the ears of corn, and to eat.
Matthew 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him,
Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the
sabbath day.
Matthew 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David
did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Matthew 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them
which were with him, but only for the priests?
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the
sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and
are blameless?
Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater
than the temple.
Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the
guiltless.
Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Matthew 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:
Matthew 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand
withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Matthew 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among
you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the
sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Matthew 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep?
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Matthew 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other.
Matthew 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council
against him, how they might destroy him.
Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from
thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Matthew 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him
known:
Matthew 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying,
Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved,
in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him,
and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Matthew 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man
hear his voice in the streets.
Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax
shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Matthew 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a
devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind
and dumb both spake and saw.
Matthew 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not
this the son of David?
Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This
fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of
the devils.
Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do
your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then
the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house,
and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then
he will spoil his house.
Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against
the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of
man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the
Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or
else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is
known by his fruit.
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil,
speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil
treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment.
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees
answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Matthew 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment
with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and,
behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Matthew 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from
whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
Matthew 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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.
Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Matthew 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who
is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his
disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which
is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew 13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by
the sea side.
Matthew 13:2 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.
Matthew 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables,
saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Matthew 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side,
and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Matthew 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much
earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness
of earth:
Matthew 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and
because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,
and choked them:
Matthew 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto them in parables?
Matthew 13:11 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.
Matthew 13:12 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.
Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand.
Matthew 13:14 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:
Matthew 13:15 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.
Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they hear.
Matthew 13:17 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.
Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Matthew 13:19 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.
Matthew 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the
same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Matthew 13:21 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.
Matthew 13:22 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.
Matthew 13:23 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.
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in
his field:
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 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?
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The
servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them
up?
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares,
ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 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.
Matthew 13:31 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:
Matthew 13:32 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.
Matthew 13:33 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.
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matthew 13:35 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.
Matthew 13:36 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.
Matthew 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the
good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the
wicked one;
Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest
is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in
the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41 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;
Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in
the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:44 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.
Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant
man, seeking goodly pearls:
Matthew 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price,
went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat
down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels
shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew 13:52 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.
Matthew 13:53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished
these parables, he departed thence.
Matthew 13:54 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?
Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother
called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
Judas?
Matthew 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence
then hath this man all these things?
Matthew 13:57 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.
Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of
their unbelief.
Matthew 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of
Jesus,
Matthew 14:2 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.
Matthew 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and
put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
Matthew 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to
have her.
Matthew 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared
the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of
Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Matthew 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her
whatsoever she would ask.
Matthew 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said,
Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
Matthew 14:9 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.
Matthew 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Matthew 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to
the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
Matthew 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and
buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Matthew 14:13 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.
Matthew 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and
was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Matthew 14:15 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.
Matthew 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give
ye them to eat.
Matthew 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves,
and two fishes.
Matthew 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
Matthew 14:19 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.
Matthew 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Matthew 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand
men, beside women and children.
Matthew 14:22 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.
Matthew 14:23 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.
Matthew 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed
with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto
them, walking on the sea.
Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for
fear.
Matthew 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of
good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be
thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out
of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and
caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
didst thou doubt?
Matthew 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind
ceased.
Matthew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped
him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
Matthew 14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the
land of Gennesaret.
Matthew 14:35 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;
Matthew 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem
of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Matthew 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were
of Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and
mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the
death.
Matthew 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his
mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by
me;
Matthew 15:6 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.
Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,
saying,
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men.
Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them,
Hear, and understand:
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest
thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this
saying?
Matthew 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my
heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto
us this parable.
Matthew 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without
understanding?
Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth
in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the
draught?
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come
forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Matthew 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat
with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Matthew 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts
of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15:22 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.
Matthew 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples
came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after
us.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the
lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help
me.
Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Matthew 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Matthew 15:28 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.
Matthew 15:29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto
the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down
there.
Matthew 15:30 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:
Matthew 15:31 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.
Matthew 15:32 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.
Matthew 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we
have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a
multitude?
Matthew 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?
And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Matthew 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the
ground.
Matthew 15:36 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.
Matthew 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
Matthew 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside
women and children.
Matthew 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and
came into the coasts of Magdala.
Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening,
ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day:
for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
times?
Matthew 16:4 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.
Matthew 16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side,
they had forgotten to take bread.
Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is
because we have taken no bread.
Matthew 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye
of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have
brought no bread?
Matthew 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five
loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Matthew 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and
how many baskets ye took up?
Matthew 16:11 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?
Matthew 16:12 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.
Matthew 16:13 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?
Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the
Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
prophets.
Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art
thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it
unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18 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.
Matthew 16:19 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.
Matthew 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell
no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Matthew 16:21 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.
Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him,
saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
Matthew 16:23 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.
Matthew 16:24 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.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:26 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?
Matthew 16:27 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.
Matthew 16:28 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.
Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and
John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart,
Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did
shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Matthew 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
talking with him.
Matthew 17:4 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.
Matthew 17:5 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.
Matthew 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their
face, and were sore afraid.
Matthew 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and
be not afraid.
Matthew 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no
man, save Jesus only.
Matthew 17:9 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.
Matthew 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say
the scribes that Elias must first come?
Matthew 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly
shall first come, and restore all things.
Matthew 17:12 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.
Matthew 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto
them of John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came
to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Matthew 17:15 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.
Matthew 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could
not cure him.
Matthew 17:17 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.
Matthew 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of
him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Matthew 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said,
Why could not we cast him out?
Matthew 17:20 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.
Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.
Matthew 17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto
them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall
be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Matthew 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that
received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your
master pay tribute?
Matthew 17:25 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?
Matthew 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto
him, Then are the children free.
Matthew 17:27 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.
Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus,
saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him
in the midst of them,
Matthew 18:3 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.
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my
name receiveth me.
Matthew 18:6 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.
Matthew 18:7 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!
Matthew 18:8 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.
Matthew 18:9 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.
Matthew 18:10 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.
Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was
lost.
Matthew 18:12 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?
Matthew 18:13 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.
Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is
in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18:15 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.
Matthew 18:16 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.
Matthew 18:17 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 an heathen man and a publican.
Matthew 18:18 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.
Matthew 18:19 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.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven
times?
Matthew 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until
seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Matthew 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought
unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Matthew 18:25 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.
Matthew 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Matthew 18:28 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.
Matthew 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and
besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
Matthew 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison,
till he should pay the debt.
Matthew 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they
were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was
done.
Matthew 18:32 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:
Matthew 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Matthew 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto
you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother
their trespasses.
Matthew 19:1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished
these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts
of Judaea beyond Jordan;
Matthew 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them
there.
Matthew 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and
saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for
every cause?
Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read,
that he which made them at the beginning made them male and
female,
Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh?
Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Matthew 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give
a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Matthew 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth
commit adultery.
Matthew 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man
be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Matthew 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this
saying, save they to whom it is given.
Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made
eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to
receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children,
that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
rebuked them.
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do
no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have
I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went
away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say
unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of
heaven.
Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men
this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we
have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have
therefore?
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last
shall be first.
Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is
an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny
a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others
standing idle in the marketplace,
Matthew 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Matthew 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and
did likewise.
Matthew 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found
others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all
the day idle?
Matthew 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He
saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is
right, that shall ye receive.
Matthew 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith
unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
beginning from the last unto the first.
Matthew 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh
hour, they received every man a penny.
Matthew 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they
should have received more; and they likewise received every man a
penny.
Matthew 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against
the goodman of the house,
Matthew 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and
thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and
heat of the day.
Matthew 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do
thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Matthew 20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto
this last, even as unto thee.
Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine
own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many be called, but few chosen.
Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve
disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and
they shall condemn him to death,
Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and
to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise
again.
Matthew 20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children
with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of
him.
Matthew 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto
him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye
ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able.
Matthew 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my
cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but
to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Matthew 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with
indignation against the two brethren.
Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and
they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Matthew 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will
be great among you, let him be your minister;
Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be
your servant:
Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude
followed him.
Matthew 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side,
when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Matthew 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should
hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
Matthew 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said,
What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Matthew 20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be
opened.
Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their
eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.
Matthew 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come
to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,
Matthew 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against
you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with
her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
Matthew 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The
Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Matthew 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh
unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of
an ass.
Matthew 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded
them,
Matthew 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them
their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Matthew 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in
the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them
in the way.
Matthew 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is
he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Matthew 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city
was moved, saying, Who is this?
Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of Galilee.
Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out
all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves,
Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Matthew 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the
temple; and he healed them.
Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the
temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore
displeased,
Matthew 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And
Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Matthew 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there.
Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he
hungered.
Matthew 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to
it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the
fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled,
saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto
you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this
which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall
be done.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
Matthew 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief
priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was
teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and
who gave thee this authority?
Matthew 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will
ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell
you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or
of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
him?
Matthew 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for
all hold John as a prophet.
Matthew 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell.
And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do
these things.
Matthew 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and
he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
vineyard.
Matthew 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
repented, and went.
Matthew 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he
answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Matthew 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father?
They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say
unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom
of God before you.
Matthew 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness,
and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots
believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward,
that ye might believe him.
Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about,
and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Matthew 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent
his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits
of it.
Matthew 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,
and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first:
and they did unto them likewise.
Matthew 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will reverence my son.
Matthew 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us
seize on his inheritance.
Matthew 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the
vineyard, and slew him.
Matthew 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what
will he do unto those husbandmen?
Matthew 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen,
which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is
marvellous in our eyes?
Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall
be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.
Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be
broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to
powder.
Matthew 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard
his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Matthew 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they
feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by
parables, and said,
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were
bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell
them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen
and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto
the marriage.
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one
to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he
sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned
up their city.
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready,
but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye
shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in
hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand
and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they
might entangle him in his talk.
Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and
teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man:
for thou regardest not the person of men.
Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful
to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why
tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Matthew 22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him
a penny.
Matthew 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription?
Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them,
Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto
God the things that are God’s.
Matthew 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and
left him, and went their way.
Matthew 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say
that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Matthew 22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto
his brother.
Matthew 22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the
first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue,
left his wife unto his brother:
Matthew 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the
seventh.
Matthew 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.
Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she
be of the seven? for they all had her.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have
ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the
living.
Matthew 22:33 And when the multitude heard this, they were
astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the
Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a
question, tempting him, and saying,
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.
Matthew 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them,
Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?
They say unto him, The Son of David.
Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit
call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Matthew 22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither
durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his
disciples,
Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’
seat:
Matthew 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that
observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and
do not.
Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.
Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of
their garments,
Matthew 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief
seats in the synagogues,
Matthew 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of
men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one
is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your
Master, even Christ.
Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.
Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither
go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in.
Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever
shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall
swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the
gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Matthew 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is
nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is
guilty.
Matthew 23:19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the
gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Matthew 23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth
by it, and by all things thereon.
Matthew 23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it,
and by him that dwelleth therein.
Matthew 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the
throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these
ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow
a camel.
Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but
within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is
within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean
also.
Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all
uncleanness.
Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the
sepulchres of the righteous,
Matthew 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.
Matthew 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye
are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Matthew 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye
escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and
wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify;
and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and
persecute them from city to city:
Matthew 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed
upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and
the altar.
Matthew 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come
upon this generation.
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord.
Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and
his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple.
Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these
things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one
stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples
came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that
no man deceive you.
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s
sake.
Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray
one another, and shall hate one another.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the
end come.
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains:
Matthew 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to
take any thing out of his house:
Matthew 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to
take his clothes.
Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days!
Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the sabbath day:
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be.
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days
shall be shortened.
Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is
Christ, or there; believe it not.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Matthew 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is
in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.
Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the
eagles be gathered together.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken:
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch
is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is
nigh:
Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all
away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord
doth come.
Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had
known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?
Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so doing.
Matthew 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler
over all his goods.
Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming;
Matthew 24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to
eat and drink with the drunken;
Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his
portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no
oil with them:
Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their
lamps.
Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.
Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their
lamps.
Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your
oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be
not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
buy for yourselves.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and
they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the
door was shut.
Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord,
Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I
know you not.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling
into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered
unto them his goods.
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,
and to another one; to every man according to his several ability;
and straightway took his journey.
Matthew 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Matthew 25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also
gained other two.
Matthew 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the
earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Matthew 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth with them.
Matthew 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and
faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.
Matthew 25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.
Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and
said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where
thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
Matthew 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the
earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and
gather where I have not strawed:
Matthew 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own
with usury.
Matthew 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto
him which hath ten talents.
Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath.
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all
the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory:
Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he
shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his
sheep from the goats:
Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand,
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me
in:
Matthew 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Matthew 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave
thee drink?
Matthew 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee?
Matthew 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came
unto thee?
Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Matthew 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and
ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Matthew 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when
saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Matthew 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me.
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
but the righteous into life eternal.
Matthew 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all
these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
Matthew 26:2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the
passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Matthew 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Matthew 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty,
and kill him.
Matthew 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an
uproar among the people.
Matthew 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon
the leper,
Matthew 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box
of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at
meat.
Matthew 26:8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation,
saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Matthew 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and
given to the poor.
Matthew 26:10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why
trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Matthew 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have
not always.
Matthew 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my
body, she did it for my burial.
Matthew 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall
be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this
woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Matthew 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests,
Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will
deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty
pieces of silver.
Matthew 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray
him.
Matthew 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread
the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that
we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Matthew 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say
unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the
passover at thy house with my disciples.
Matthew 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them;
and they made ready the passover.
Matthew 26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the
twelve.
Matthew 26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you,
that one of you shall betray me.
Matthew 26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every
one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
Matthew 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand
with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but
woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been
good for that man if he had not been born.
Matthew 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said,
Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,
Take, eat; this is my body.
Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to
them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of
this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with
you in my Father’s kingdom.
Matthew 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into
the mount of Olives.
Matthew 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended
because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Matthew 26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you
into Galilee.
Matthew 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men
shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Matthew 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Matthew 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,
yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Matthew 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go
and pray yonder.
Matthew 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Matthew 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face,
and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one
hour?
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except
I drink it, thy will be done.
Matthew 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their
eyes were heavy.
Matthew 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same words.
Matthew 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at
hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matthew 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that
doth betray me.
Matthew 26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the
twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and
staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matthew 26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
Matthew 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail,
master; and kissed him.
Matthew 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Matthew 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant
of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
Matthew 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword
into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with
the sword.
Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that
thus it must be?
Matthew 26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are
ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take
me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.
Matthew 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him,
and fled.
Matthew 26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to
Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.
Matthew 26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high
priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see
the end.
Matthew 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Matthew 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses
came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
Matthew 26:61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the
temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Matthew 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against
thee?
Matthew 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest
answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that
thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I
say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He
hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Matthew 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty
of death.
Matthew 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Matthew 26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he
that smote thee?
Matthew 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel
came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Matthew 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not
what thou sayest.
Matthew 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another
maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was
also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Matthew 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the
man.
Matthew 26:73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by,
and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy
speech bewrayeth thee.
Matthew 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know
not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said
unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he
went out, and wept bitterly.
Matthew 27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and
elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to
death:
Matthew 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and
delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that
he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the
innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to
that.
Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple,
and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Matthew 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and
said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because
it is the price of blood.
Matthew 27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the
potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Matthew 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood,
unto this day.
Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of
Israel did value;
Matthew 27:10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord
appointed me.
Matthew 27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the
governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And
Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Matthew 27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered nothing.
Matthew 27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many
things they witness against thee?
Matthew 27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that
the governor marvelled greatly.
Matthew 27:15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release
unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Matthew 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called
Barabbas.
Matthew 27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate
said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or
Jesus which is called Christ?
Matthew 27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Matthew 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife
sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man:
for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of
him.
Matthew 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Matthew 27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of
the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with
Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be
crucified.
Matthew 27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?
But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands
before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this
just person: see ye to it.
Matthew 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be
on us, and on our children.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Matthew 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet
robe.
Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they
put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed
the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the
Jews!
Matthew 27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote
him on the head.
Matthew 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the
robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him
away to crucify him.
Matthew 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Matthew 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called
Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Matthew 27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Matthew 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture
did they cast lots.
Matthew 27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;
Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written,
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one
on the right hand, and another on the left.
Matthew 27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,
Matthew 27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of
God, come down from the cross.
Matthew 27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with
the scribes and elders, said,
Matthew 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be
the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we
will believe him.
Matthew 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he
will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Matthew 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him,
cast the same in his teeth.
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all
the land unto the ninth hour.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Matthew 27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that,
said, This man calleth for Elias.
Matthew 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge,
and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to
drink.
Matthew 27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will
come to save him.
Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost.
Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in
twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the
rocks rent;
Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept arose,
Matthew 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were
done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Matthew 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which
followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Matthew 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Matthew 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of
Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:
Matthew 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Matthew 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in
a clean linen cloth,
Matthew 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed.
Matthew 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary,
sitting over against the sepulchre.
Matthew 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the
preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto
Pilate,
Matthew 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Matthew 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure
until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal
him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
the last error shall be worse than the first.
Matthew 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way,
make it as sure as ye can.
Matthew 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing
the stone, and setting a watch.
Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward
the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the
angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back
the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Matthew 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment
white as snow:
Matthew 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became
as dead men.
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come,
see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is
risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Matthew 28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with
fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
Matthew 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus
met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the
feet, and worshipped him.
Matthew 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my
brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Matthew 28:11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch
came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the
things that were done.
Matthew 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and
had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
Matthew 28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and
stole him away while we slept.
Matthew 28:14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will
persuade him, and secure you.
Matthew 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught:
and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this
day.
Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MARK
Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God;
Mark 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.
Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the
way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and
they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of
Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mark 1:6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle
of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
Mark 1:7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I
after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down
and unloose.
Mark 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Mark 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the
heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
Mark 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark 1:12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the
wilderness.
Mark 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted
of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered
unto him.
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into
Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of
God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mark 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and
Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.
Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will
make you to become fishers of men.
Mark 1:18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed
him.
Mark 1:19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in
the ship mending their nets.
Mark 1:20 And straightway he called them: and they left their
father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after
him.
Mark 1:21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the
sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
Mark 1:22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught
them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean
spirit; and he cried out,
Mark 1:24 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.
Mark 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come
out of him.
Mark 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with
a loud voice, he came out of him.
Mark 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned
among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is
this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits,
and they do obey him.
Mark 1:28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all
the region round about Galilee.
Mark 1:29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue,
they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and
John.
Mark 1:30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon
they tell him of her.
Mark 1:31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up;
and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
Mark 1:32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him
all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
Mark 1:33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
Mark 1:34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases,
and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak,
because they knew him.
Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day,
he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Mark 1:36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after
him.
Mark 1:37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men
seek for thee.
Mark 1:38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns,
that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
Mark 1:39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all
Galilee, and cast out devils.
Mark 1:40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and
kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou
canst make me clean.
Mark 1:41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand,
and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
Mark 1:42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy
departed from him, and he was cleansed.
Mark 1:43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him
away;
Mark 1:44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but
go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto
them.
Mark 1:45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to
blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly
enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they
came to him from every quarter.
Mark 2:1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and
it was noised that he was in the house.
Mark 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch
that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about
the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mark 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy,
which was borne of four.
Mark 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press,
they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it
up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the
palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mark 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and
reasoning in their hearts,
Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive
sins but God only?
Mark 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that
they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
ye these things in your hearts?
Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
walk?
Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mark 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy
way into thine house.
Mark 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went
forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and
glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Mark 2:13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the
multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
Mark 2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus
sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me.
And he arose and followed him.
Mark 2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his
house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and
his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
Mark 2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with
publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it
that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are
whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I
came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mark 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to
fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mark 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as
they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mark 2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Mark 2:21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old
garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the
old, and the rent is made worse.
Mark 2:22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the
new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the
bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Mark 2:23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn
fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went,
to pluck the ears of corn.
Mark 2:24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on
the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
Mark 2:25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David
did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were
with him?
Mark 2:26 How he went into the house of God in the days of
Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not
lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which
were with him?
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath:
Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Mark 3:1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a
man there which had a withered hand.
Mark 3:2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the
sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
Mark 3:3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand,
Stand forth.
Mark 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the
sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they
held their peace.
Mark 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger,
being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the
man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his
hand was restored whole as the other.
Mark 3:6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took
counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy
him.
Mark 3:7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea:
and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judæa,
Mark 3:8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond
Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when
they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
Mark 3:9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should
wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
Mark 3:10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon
him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
Mark 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before
him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
Mark 3:12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make
him known.
Mark 3:13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him
whom he would: and they came unto him.
Mark 3:14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him,
and that he might send them forth to preach,
Mark 3:15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out
devils:
Mark 3:16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
Mark 3:17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of
James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of
thunder:
Mark 3:18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew,
and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and
Simon the Canaanite,
Mark 3:19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they
went into an house.
Mark 3:20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they
could not so much as eat bread.
Mark 3:21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay
hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He
hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out
devils.
Mark 3:23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in
parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand.
Mark 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house
cannot stand.
Mark 3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end.
Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil
his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he
will spoil his house.
Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto
the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme:
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath
never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Mark 3:30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
Mark 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and,
standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mark 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
brethren?
Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my
brother, and my sister, and mother.
Mark 4:1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there
was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a
ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea
on the land.
Mark 4:2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto
them in his doctrine,
Mark 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
Mark 4:4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way
side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
Mark 4:5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much
earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of
earth:
Mark 4:6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it
had no root, it withered away.
Mark 4:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and
choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mark 4:8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that
sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark 4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
twelve asked of him the parable.
Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all
these things are done in parables:
Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing
they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Mark 4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how
then will ye know all parables?
Mark 4:14 The sower soweth the word.
Mark 4:15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is
sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and
taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Mark 4:16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony
ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it
with gladness;
Mark 4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a
time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the
word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
Mark 4:18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as
hear the word,
Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark 4:20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such
as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some
thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark 4:21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put
under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a
candlestick?
Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Mark 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that
hear shall more be given.
Mark 4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that
hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man
should cast seed into the ground;
Mark 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed
should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
Mark 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the
blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mark 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he
putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Mark 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of
God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mark 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is
sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the
earth:
Mark 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater
than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls
of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Mark 4:33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them,
as they were able to hear it.
Mark 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when
they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto
them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
Mark 4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him
even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other
little ships.
Mark 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves
beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
Mark 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a
pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou
not that we perish?
Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the
sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great
calm.
Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it
that ye have no faith?
Mark 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,
What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey
him?
Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into
the country of the Gadarenes.
Mark 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there
met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mark 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could
bind him, no, not with chains:
Mark 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and
chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the
fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
Mark 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and
in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Mark 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped
him,
Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do
with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by
God, that thou torment me not.
Mark 5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean
spirit.
Mark 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered,
saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Mark 5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them
away out of the country.
Mark 5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd
of swine feeding.
Mark 5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into
the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mark 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean
spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two
thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Mark 5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the
city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was
that was done.
Mark 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed
with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.
Mark 5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that
was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Mark 5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their
coasts.
Mark 5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been
possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
Mark 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go
home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath
done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
Mark 5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how
great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
Mark 5:21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the
other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto
the sea.
Mark 5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the
synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his
feet,
Mark 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter
lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands
on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
Mark 5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him,
and thronged him.
Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve
years,
Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had
spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
worse,
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind,
and touched his garment.
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole.
Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;
and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue
had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who
touched my clothes?
Mark 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the
multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Mark 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this
thing.
Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was
done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the
truth.
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Mark 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why
troublest thou the Master any further?
Mark 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he
saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only
believe.
Mark 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and
James, and John the brother of James.
Mark 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the
synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed
greatly.
Mark 5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye
this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
Mark 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them
all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and
them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was
lying.
Mark 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,
Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto
thee, arise.
Mark 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she
was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a
great astonishment.
Mark 5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it;
and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Mark 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own
country; and his disciples follow him.
Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in
the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From
whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which
is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his
hands?
Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother
of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his
sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without
honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his
own house.
Mark 6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid
his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Mark 6:6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went
round about the villages, teaching.
Mark 6:7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them
forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
Mark 6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for
their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in
their purse:
Mark 6:9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
Mark 6:10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter
into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when
ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for
that city.
Mark 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
Mark 6:13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil
many that were sick, and healed them.
Mark 6:14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread
abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the
dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Mark 6:15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it
is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Mark 6:16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom
I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
Mark 6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon
John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother
Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
Mark 6:18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee
to have thy brother’s wife.
Mark 6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would
have killed him; but she could not:
Mark 6:20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man
and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many
things, and heard him gladly.
Mark 6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his
birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief
estates of Galilee;
Mark 6:22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and
danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king
said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will
give it thee.
Mark 6:23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me,
I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
Mark 6:24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall
I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Mark 6:25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king,
and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger
the head of John the Baptist.
Mark 6:26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s
sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject
her.
Mark 6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and
commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in
the prison,
Mark 6:28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the
damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
Mark 6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took
up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
Mark 6:30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto
Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what
they had taught.
Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a
desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and
going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
Mark 6:32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
Mark 6:33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him,
and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and
came together unto him.
Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was
moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came
unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is
far passed:
Mark 6:36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round
about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they
have nothing to eat.
Mark 6:37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And
they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of
bread, and give them to eat?
Mark 6:38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see.
And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Mark 6:39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies
upon the green grass.
Mark 6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Mark 6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two
fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves,
and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two
fishes divided he among them all.
Mark 6:42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
Mark 6:43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments,
and of the fishes.
Mark 6:44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five
thousand men.
Mark 6:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into
the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while
he sent away the people.
Mark 6:46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a
mountain to pray.
Mark 6:47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the
sea, and he alone on the land.
Mark 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was
contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he
cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by
them.
Mark 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they
supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately
he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is
I; be not afraid.
Mark 6:51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind
ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure,
and wondered.
Mark 6:52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for
their heart was hardened.
Mark 6:53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land
of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
Mark 6:54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway
they knew him,
Mark 6:55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began
to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he
was.
Mark 6:56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities,
or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him
that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment:
and as many as touched him were made whole.
Mark 7:1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of
the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
Mark 7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with
defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash
their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Mark 7:4 And when they come from the market, except they wash,
they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have
received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen
vessels, and of tables.
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not
thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
bread with unwashen hands?
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias
prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people
honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mark 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the
tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other
such like things ye do.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the
commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and,
Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Mark 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest
be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mark 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or
his mother;
Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your
tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do
ye.
Mark 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said
unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into
him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those
are they that defile the man.
Mark 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people,
his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Mark 7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding
also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without
entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Mark 7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the
belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that
defileth the man.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mark 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mark 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the
man.
Mark 7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of
Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man
know it: but he could not be hid.
Mark 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean
spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
Mark 7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and
she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her
daughter.
Mark 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be
filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to
cast it unto the dogs.
Mark 7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the
dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
Mark 7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the
devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Mark 7:30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil
gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Mark 7:31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon,
he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts
of Decapolis.
Mark 7:32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an
impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand
upon him.
Mark 7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his
fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
Mark 7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Mark 7:35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of
his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
Mark 7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but
the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they
published it;
Mark 7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done
all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speak.
Mark 8:1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having
nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith
unto them,
Mark 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now
been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mark 8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they
will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
Mark 8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man
satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
Mark 8:5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they
said, Seven.
Mark 8:6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground:
and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave
to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before
the people.
Mark 8:7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and
commanded to set them also before them.
Mark 8:8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets.
Mark 8:9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he
sent them away.
Mark 8:10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his
disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mark 8:11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with
him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Mark 8:12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth
this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There
shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Mark 8:13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again
departed to the other side.
Mark 8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither
had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mark 8:16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is
because we have no bread.
Mark 8:17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason
ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither
understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not?
and do ye not remember?
Mark 8:19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how
many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him,
Twelve.
Mark 8:20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets
full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
Mark 8:21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not
understand?
Mark 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man
unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out
of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands
upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and
made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Mark 8:26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go
into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
Mark 8:27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of
Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying
unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
Mark 8:28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say,
Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
Mark 8:29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And
Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Mark 8:30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must
suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the
chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days
rise again.
Mark 8:32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and
began to rebuke him.
Mark 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his
disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan:
for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things
that be of men.
Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his
disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but
whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the
same shall save it.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my
words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there
be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and
James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart
by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
Mark 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow;
so as no fuller on earth can white them.
Mark 9:4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they
were talking with Jesus.
Mark 9:5 And Peter answered and said to 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.
Mark 9:6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice
came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Mark 9:8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw
no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
Mark 9:9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them
that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the
Son of man were risen from the dead.
Mark 9:10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning
one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
Mark 9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that
Elias must first come?
Mark 9:12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh
first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son
of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Mark 9:13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they
have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of
him.
Mark 9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great
multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
Mark 9:15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him,
were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
Mark 9:16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I
have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mark 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he
foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake
to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could
not.
Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how
long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
unto me.
Mark 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and
wallowed foaming.
Mark 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this
came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
Mark 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into
the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have
compassion on us, and help us.
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth.
Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and
said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf
spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into
him.
Mark 9:26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of
him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Mark 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and
he arose.
Mark 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked
him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by
nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Mark 9:30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee;
and he would not that any man should know it.
Mark 9:31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son
of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill
him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
Mark 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to
ask him.
Mark 9:33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he
asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the
way?
Mark 9:34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had
disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
Mark 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto
them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of
all, and servant of all.
Mark 9:36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them:
and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
Mark 9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,
receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me,
but him that sent me.
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one
casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we
forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mark 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man
which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil
of me.
Mark 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in
my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he
shall not lose his reward.
Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that
believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better
for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go
into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
Mark 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better
for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast
into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
Mark 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better
for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mark 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every
sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have
peace one with another.
Mark 10:1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of
Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto
him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Mark 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
Mark 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses
command you?
Mark 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of
divorcement, and to put her away.
Mark 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness
of your heart he wrote you this precept.
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them
male and female.
Mark 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and cleave to his wife;
Mark 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no
more twain, but one flesh.
Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.
Mark 10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the
same matter.
Mark 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Mark 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be
married to another, she committeth adultery.
Mark 10:13 And they brought young children to him, that he should
touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said
unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Mark 10:16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon
them, and blessed them.
Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one
running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one, that is, God.
Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery,
Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
Honour thy father and mother.
Mark 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these
have I observed from my youth.
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him,
One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mark 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved:
for he had great possessions.
Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his
disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the
kingdom of God!
Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But
Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is
it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among
themselves, Who then can be saved?
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is
impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are
possible.
Mark 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all,
and have followed thee.
Mark 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake,
and the gospel’s,
Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,
houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last
first.
Mark 10:32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and
Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they
followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and
began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of
man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the
scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver
him to the Gentiles:
Mark 10:34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and
shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he
shall rise again.
Mark 10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,
saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever
we shall desire.
Mark 10:36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do
for you?
Mark 10:37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one
on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
Mark 10:38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can
ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?
Mark 10:39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto
them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with
the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Mark 10:40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not
mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is
prepared.
Mark 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much
displeased with James and John.
Mark 10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye
know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise
authority upon them.
Mark 10:43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be
great among you, shall be your minister:
Mark 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be
servant of all.
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho
with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus,
the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
Mark 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he
began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on
me.
Mark 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but
he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on
me.
Mark 10:49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.
And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort,
rise; he calleth thee.
Mark 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to
Jesus.
Mark 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou
that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord,
that I might receive my sight.
Mark 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath
made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and
followed Jesus in the way.
Mark 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his
disciples,
Mark 11:2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over
against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a
colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
Mark 11:3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that
the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him
hither.
Mark 11:4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the
door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Mark 11:5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them,
What do ye, loosing the colt?
Mark 11:6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and
they let them go.
Mark 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their
garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Mark 11:8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others
cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Mark 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed,
cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of
the Lord:
Mark 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh
in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Mark 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple:
and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the
eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Mark 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he
was hungry:
Mark 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came,
if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it,
he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit
of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the
temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the
seats of them that sold doves;
Mark 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any
vessel through the temple.
Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My
house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye
have made it a den of thieves.
Mark 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought
how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the
people was astonished at his doctrine.
Mark 11:19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Mark 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig
tree dried up from the roots.
Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him,
Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the
sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them.
Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought
against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive
you your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father
which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking
in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the
scribes, and the elders,
Mark 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these
things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
Mark 11:29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask
of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what
authority I do these things.
Mark 11:30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
answer me.
Mark 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mark 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people:
for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
Mark 11:33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what
authority I do these things.
Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain
man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a
place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant,
that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard.
Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away
empty.
Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him
they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away
shamefully handled.
Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many
others; beating some, and killing some.
Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent
him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the
heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of
the vineyard.
Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he
will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard
unto others.
Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which
the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes?
Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the
people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them:
and they left him, and went their way.
Mark 12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of
the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
Mark 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we
know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest
not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it
lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
Mark 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing
their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a
penny, that I may see it.
Mark 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is
this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.
Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the
things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And
they marvelled at him.
Mark 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Mark 12:19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die,
and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his
brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Mark 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a
wife, and dying left no seed.
Mark 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any
seed: and the third likewise.
Mark 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all
the woman died also.
Mark 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise,
whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore
err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither
marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are
in heaven.
Mark 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not
read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him,
saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob?
Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the
living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them
reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well,
asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all
thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
than these.
Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast
said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but
he:
Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength,
and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.
Mark 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said
unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man
after that durst ask him any question.
Mark 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the
temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
Mark 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said
to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
Mark 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is
he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Mark 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the
scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations
in the marketplaces,
Mark 12:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the
uppermost rooms at feasts:
Mark 12:40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make
long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how
the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich
cast in much.
Mark 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in
two mites, which make a farthing.
Mark 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more
in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of
her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Mark 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples
saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what
buildings are here!
Mark 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these
great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
Mark 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the
temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Mark 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest
any man deceive you:
Mark 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
shall deceive many.
Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be
ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall
not be yet.
Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places,
and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings
of sorrows.
Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you
up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye
shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them.
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all
nations.
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that
speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and
the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake:
but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let
him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee
to the mountains:
Mark 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into
the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his
house:
Mark 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again
for to take up his garment.
Mark 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that
give suck in those days!
Mark 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not
from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this
time, neither shall be.
Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no
flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath
chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Mark 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is
Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and
shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even
the elect.
Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all
things.
Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun
shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Mark 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that
are in heaven shall be shaken.
Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of
the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Mark 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things
come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Mark 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not
pass, till all these things be done.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall
not pass away.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not
the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the
time is.
Mark 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey,
who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to
every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mark 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of
the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning:
Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of
unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how
they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
Mark 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an
uproar of the people.
Mark 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as
he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of
ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and
poured it on his head.
Mark 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within
themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
Mark 14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred
pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against
her.
Mark 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she
hath wrought a good work on me.
Mark 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye
will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Mark 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to
anoint my body to the burying.
Mark 14:9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done
shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Mark 14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the
chief priests, to betray him unto them.
Mark 14:11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to
give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray
him.
Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed
the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we
go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
Mark 14:13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith
unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man
bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman
of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Mark 14:15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and
prepared: there make ready for us.
Mark 14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city,
and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
passover.
Mark 14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
Mark 14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say
unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
Mark 14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one
by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
Mark 14:20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the
twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
Mark 14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him:
but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were
it for that man if he had never been born.
Mark 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and
brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
Mark 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he
gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
Mark 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many.
Mark 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the
fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the
kingdom of God.
Mark 14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the
mount of Olives.
Mark 14:27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended
because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
Mark 14:28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into
Galilee.
Mark 14:29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be
offended, yet will not I.
Mark 14:30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou
shalt deny me thrice.
Mark 14:31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with
thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they
all.
Mark 14:32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane:
and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
Mark 14:33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and
began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
Mark 14:34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful
unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
Mark 14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground,
and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from
him.
Mark 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto
thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will,
but what thou wilt.
Mark 14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith
unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one
hour?
Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The
spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Mark 14:39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same
words.
Mark 14:40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for
their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
Mark 14:41 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come;
behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mark 14:42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at
hand.
Mark 14:43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one
of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and
staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Mark 14:44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token,
saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and
lead him away safely.
Mark 14:45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to
him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
Mark 14:46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
Mark 14:47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Mark 14:48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out,
as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
Mark 14:49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye
took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
Mark 14:50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
Mark 14:51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a
linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold
on him:
Mark 14:52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Mark 14:53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with
him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
scribes.
Mark 14:54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace
of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed
himself at the fire.
Mark 14:55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for
witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
Mark 14:56 For many bare false witness against him, but their
witness agreed not together.
Mark 14:57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against
him, saying,
Mark 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is
made with hands, and within three days I will build another made
without hands.
Mark 14:59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
Mark 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked
Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee?
Mark 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the
high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed?
Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.
Mark 14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What
need we any further witnesses?
Mark 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they
all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Mark 14:65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face,
and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants
did strike him with the palms of their hands.
Mark 14:66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh
one of the maids of the high priest:
Mark 14:67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon
him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
Mark 14:68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I
what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock
crew.
Mark 14:69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that
stood by, This is one of them.
Mark 14:70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that
stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for
thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
Mark 14:71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not
this man of whom ye speak.
Mark 14:72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to
mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow
twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he
wept.
Mark 15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council,
and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to
Pilate.
Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And
he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
Mark 15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
answered nothing.
Mark 15:4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou
nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
Mark 15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate
marvelled.
Mark 15:6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.
Mark 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with
them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in the insurrection.
Mark 15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do
as he had ever done unto them.
Mark 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release
unto you the King of the Jews?
Mark 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him
for envy.
Mark 15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should
rather release Barabbas unto them.
Mark 15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will
ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the
Jews?
Mark 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Mark 15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he
done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him,
to be crucified.
Mark 15:16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.
Mark 15:17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown
of thorns, and put it about his head,
Mark 15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mark 15:19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did
spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple
from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify him.
Mark 15:21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by,
coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to
bear his cross.
Mark 15:22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is,
being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Mark 15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but
he received it not.
Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his
garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Mark 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written
over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark 15:27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his
right hand, and the other on his left.
Mark 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he
was numbered with the transgressors.
Mark 15:29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their
heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days,
Mark 15:30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
Mark 15:31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among
themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot
save.
Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the
cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified
with him reviled him.
Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness
over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Mark 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it,
said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
Mark 15:36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and
put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us
see whether Elias will come to take him down.
Mark 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the
ghost.
Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom.
Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him,
saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly
this man was the Son of God.
Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom
was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of
Joses, and Salome;
Mark 15:41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him
unto Jerusalem.
Mark 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which
also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
Mark 15:44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and
calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been
any while dead.
Mark 15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body
to Joseph.
Mark 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and
wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was
hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the
sepulchre.
Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld
where he was laid.
Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary
the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that
they might come and anoint him.
Mark 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mark 16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away
the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
Mark 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled
away: for it was very great.
Mark 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and
they were affrighted.
Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus
of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him.
Mark 16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he
goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said
unto you.
Mark 16:8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre;
for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to
any man; for they were afraid.
Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the
week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils.
Mark 16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as
they mourned and wept.
Mark 16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and
had been seen of her, believed not.
Mark 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of
them, as they walked, and went into the country.
Mark 16:13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither
believed they them.
Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at
meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of
heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he
was risen.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but
he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my
name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues;
Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was
received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
Amen.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE
Luke 1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed
among us,
Luke 1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Luke 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,
Luke 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
wherein thou hast been instructed.
Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a
certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his
wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all
the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke 1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they both were now well stricken in years.
Luke 1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s
office before God in the order of his course,
Luke 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.
Luke 1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying
without at the time of incense.
Luke 1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord
standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Luke 1:12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear
fell upon him.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall
rejoice at his birth.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord their God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that
he tarried so long in the temple.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and
hid herself five months, saying,
Luke 1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he
looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luke 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.
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou
that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou
among women.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou
hast found favour with God.
Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luke 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:
Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and
of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing
I know not a man?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill
country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Luke 1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.
Luke 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:
Luke 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.
Luke 1:43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord
should come to me?
Luke 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded
in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:
for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me
blessed.
Luke 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and
holy is his name.
Luke 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation
to generation.
Luke 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Luke 1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and
exalted them of low degree.
Luke 1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich
he hath sent empty away.
Luke 1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy;
Luke 1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed
for ever.
Luke 1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned
to her own house.
Luke 1:57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be
delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Luke 1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord
had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall
be called John.
Luke 1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred
that is called by this name.
Luke 1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
called.
Luke 1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His
name is John. And they marvelled all.
Luke 1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue
loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
Luke 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 Judæa.
Luke 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.
Luke 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,
and prophesied, saying,
Luke 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited
and redeemed his people,
Luke 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the
house of his servant David;
Luke 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which
have been since the world began:
Luke 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the
hand of all that hate us;
Luke 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to
remember his holy covenant;
Luke 1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
Luke 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out
of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Luke 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days
of our life.
Luke 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;
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
remission of their sins,
Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the
dayspring from on high hath visited us,
Luke 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.
Luke 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was
in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
Luke 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was
governor of Syria.)
Luke 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
Luke 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.
Luke 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Luke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.
Luke 2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this child.
Luke 2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.
Luke 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 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;)
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and
said,
Luke 2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word:
Luke 2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Luke 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
Luke 2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy
people Israel.
Luke 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken of him.
Luke 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;
Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Luke 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;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the
feast of the passover.
Luke 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to
Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his
understanding and answers.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 2:50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto
them.
Luke 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.
Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour
with God and man.
Luke 3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, 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,
Luke 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of
God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Luke 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching
the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Luke 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.
Luke 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto
him, Master, what shall we do?
Luke 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 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:
Luke 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge
his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Luke 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he
unto the people.
Luke 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,
Luke 3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in
prison.
Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,
that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was
opened,
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 3:24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was
the son of Joseph,
Luke 3:25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of
Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which
was the son of Nagge,
Luke 3:26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of
Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of
Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
Luke 3:27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa,
which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,
which was the son of Neri,
Luke 3:28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi,
which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which
was the son of Er,
Luke 3:29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer,
which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which
was the son of Levi,
Luke 3:30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda,
which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was
the son of Eliakim,
Luke 3:31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan,
which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which
was the son of David,

which was the son of Cainan,

which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luke 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.
Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that it be made bread.
Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Luke 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee:
Luke 4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou
shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Luke 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he
departed from him for a season.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of
all.
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 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,
Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Luke 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph’s son?
Luke 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.
Luke 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is
accepted in his own country.
Luke 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;
Luke 4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta,
a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these
things, were filled with wrath,
Luke 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.
Luke 4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
Luke 4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and
taught them on the sabbath days.
Luke 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word
was with power.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the
country round about.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it
left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God
to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
Luke 4:44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
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,
Luke 5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen
were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great
multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
draught of the fishes which they had taken:
Luke 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.
Luke 5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they
forsook all, and followed him.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I
will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from
him.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Luke 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 Judæa, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy
sins are forgiven thee.
Luke 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?
Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering
said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Luke 5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
to say, Rise up and walk?
Luke 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.
Luke 5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Luke 5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and
were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners?
Luke 5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole
need not a physician; but they that are sick.
Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
Luke 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?
Luke 5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luke 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.
Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth
new: for he saith, The old is better.
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.
Luke 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye
that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
Luke 6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much
as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they
which were with him;
Luke 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?
Luke 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also
of the sabbath.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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 it?
Luke 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.
Luke 6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
another what they might do to Jesus.
Luke 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.
Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples:
and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Luke 6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his
brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke 6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon
called Zelotes,
Luke 6:16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot,
which also was the traitor.
Luke 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 Judæa and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and
Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luke 6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they
were healed.
Luke 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there
went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,
Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received
your consolation.
Luke 6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe
unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for
so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Luke 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do
good to them which hate you,
Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you.
Luke 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer
also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to
take thy coat also.
Luke 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that
taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to
them likewise.
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?
for sinners also love those that love them.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is
merciful.
Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luke 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.
Luke 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that
is perfect shall be as his master.
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit;
neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say?
Luke 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and
doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of
the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Luke 7:2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him,
was sick, and ready to die.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Luke 7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a
synagogue.
Luke 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:
Luke 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto
thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled 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.
Luke 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found
the servant whole that had been sick.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and
said unto her, Weep not.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa,
and throughout all the region round about.
Luke 7:18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these
things.
Luke 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?
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in
me.
Luke 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?
Luke 7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live
delicately, are in kings’ courts.
Luke 7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
unto you, and much more than a prophet.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of
God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men
of this generation? and to what are they like?
Luke 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.
Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor
drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
Luke 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!
Luke 7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have
somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
Luke 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the
one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Luke 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave
them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Luke 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he
forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I
came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Luke 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman
hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Luke 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.
Luke 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Luke 7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
Luke 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go
in peace.
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,
Luke 8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,
Luke 8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and
Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their
substance.
Luke 8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were
come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
Luke 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.
Luke 8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung
up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Luke 8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with
it, and choked it.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this
parable be?
Luke 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.
Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could
not come at him for the press.
Luke 8:20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother
and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which
is over against Galilee.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.)
Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he
said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
Luke 8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to
go out into the deep.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that
was possessed of the devils was healed.
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 8:40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the
people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
Luke 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:
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 8:44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
Luke 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?
Luke 8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive
that virtue is gone out of me.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy
faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear
not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Luke 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.
Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not;
she is not dead, but sleepeth.
Luke 8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was
dead.
Luke 8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and
called, saying, Maid, arise.
Luke 8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway:
and he commanded to give her meat.
Luke 8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them
that they should tell no man what was done.
Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave
them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Luke 9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to
heal the sick.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and
thence depart.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching
the gospel, and healing every where.
Luke 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;
Luke 9:8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that
one of the old prophets was risen again.
Luke 9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of
whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to
his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
Luke 9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was
taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
Luke 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?
Luke 9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say,
Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen
again.
Luke 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter
answering said, The Christ of God.
Luke 9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell
no man that thing;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole
world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was
altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
Luke 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were
Moses and Elias:
Luke 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and
overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is
my beloved Son: hear him.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they
were come down from the hill, much people met him.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they
could not.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son
of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them
should be greatest.
Luke 9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a
child, and set him by him,
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is
not against us is for us.
Luke 9:51 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,
Luke 9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Luke 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as
though he would go to Jerusalem.
Luke 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?
Luke 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not
what manner of spirit ye are of.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but
go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
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.
Luke 10:2 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.
Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among
wolves.
Luke 10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no
man by the way.
Luke 10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be
to this house.
Luke 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest
upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Luke 10:7 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.
Luke 10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you,
eat such things as are set before you:
Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them,
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in
that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the judgment, than for you.
Luke 10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt
be thrust down to hell.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord,
even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are
written in heaven.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said
privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Luke 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.
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted
him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how
readest thou?
Luke 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 neighbour as thyself.
Luke 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this
do, and thou shalt live.
Luke 10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus,
And who is my neighbour?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came
and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
Luke 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he
was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves?
Luke 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said
Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at
Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
Luke 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.
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luke 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that
good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
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.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I
have nothing to set before him?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Luke 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?
Luke 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion?
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
Luke 11:16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from
heaven.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub.
Luke 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Luke 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no
doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Luke 11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods
are in peace:
Luke 11:22 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.
Luke 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the
word of God, and keep it.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall
also the Son of man be to this generation.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be
not darkness.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to
dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
Luke 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had
not first washed before dinner.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without
make that which is within also?
Luke 11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and,
behold, all things are clean unto you.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost
seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Luke 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.
Luke 11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him,
Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
Luke 11:46 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.
Luke 11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the
prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke 11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their
sepulchres.
Luke 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:
Luke 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from
the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out
of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
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.
Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not
one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 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:
Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before
the angels of God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour
what ye ought to say.
Luke 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to
my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Luke 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a
divider over you?
Luke 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.
Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of
a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luke 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is
not rich toward God.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than
raiment.
Luke 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?
Luke 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his
stature one cubit?
Luke 12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?
Luke 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.
Luke 12:28 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?
Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights
burning;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh
at an hour when ye think not.
Luke 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this
parable unto us, or even to all?
Luke 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?
Luke 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
Luke 12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler
over all that he hath.
Luke 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;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I,
if it be already kindled?
Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
straitened till it be accomplished!
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I
tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house
divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 12:55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will
be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Luke 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?
Luke 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is
right?
Luke 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.
Luke 12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou
hast paid the very last mite.
Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of
the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their
sacrifices.
Luke 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that
these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they
suffered such things?
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
Luke 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?
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this
year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
Luke 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that
thou shalt cut it down.
Luke 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
sabbath.
Luke 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.
Luke 13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said
unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
Luke 13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was
made straight, and glorified God.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and
whereunto shall I resemble it?
Luke 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.
Luke 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom
of God?
Luke 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Luke 13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,
and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be
saved? And he said unto them,
Luke 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in
thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye
are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and
there are first which shall be last.
Luke 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.
Luke 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox,
Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow,
and the third day I shall be perfected.
Luke 13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the
day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem.
Luke 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!
Luke 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.
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.
Luke 14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which
had the dropsy.
Luke 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Luke 14:4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed
him, and let him go;
Luke 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?
Luke 14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Luke 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,
Luke 14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not
down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 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 neighbours; lest they
also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Luke 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luke 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the
just.
Luke 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.
Luke 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great
supper, and bade many:
Luke 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that
were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Luke 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 go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and
I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore
I cannot come.
Luke 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.
Luke 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
commanded, and yet there is room.
Luke 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.
Luke 14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were
bidden shall taste of my supper.
Luke 14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he
turned, and said unto them,
Luke 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.
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after
me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 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?
Luke 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,
Luke 14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to
finish.
Luke 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?
Luke 14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he
sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not
all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Luke 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.
Luke 15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners
for to hear him.
Luke 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man
receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Luke 15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Luke 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?
Luke 15:5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his
shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends
and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have
found my sheep which was lost.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 15:9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and
her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found
the piece which I had lost.
Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence
of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Luke 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine
in that land; and he began to be in want.
Luke 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that
country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Luke 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks
that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Luke 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!
Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Luke 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as
one of thy hired servants.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let
us eat, and be merry:
Luke 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was
lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Luke 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and
drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
Luke 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these
things meant.
Luke 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.
Luke 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came
his father out, and intreated him.
Luke 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:
Luke 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.
Luke 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and
all that I have is thine.
Luke 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.
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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the
stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all
these things: and they derided him.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one
tittle of the law to fail.
Luke 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.
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Luke 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was
laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send him to my father’s house:
Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto
them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the
prophets; let them hear them.
Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto
them from the dead, they will repent.
Luke 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.
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!
Luke 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.
Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against
thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 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?
Luke 17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things
that were commanded him? I trow not.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he
passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Luke 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him
ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
Luke 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned
back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
Luke 17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him
thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?
but where are the nine?
Luke 17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God,
save this stranger.
Luke 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath
made thee whole.
Luke 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:
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go
not after them, nor follow them.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected
of this generation.
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also
in the days of the Son of man.
Luke 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.
Luke 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;
Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained
fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it;
and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luke 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.
Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
Luke 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And
he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the
eagles be gathered together.
Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men
ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Luke 18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not
God, neither regarded man:
Luke 18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto
him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
Luke 18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said
within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Luke 18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her,
lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Luke 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day
and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Luke 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?
Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would
touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none
is good, save one, that is, God.
Luke 18:20 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.
Luke 18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he
was very rich.
Luke 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!
Luke 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.
Luke 18:26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men
are possible with God.
Luke 18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed
thee.
Luke 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,
Luke 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present
time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall
be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
Luke 18:33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and
the third day he shall rise again.
Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this
saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were
spoken.
Luke 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:
Luke 18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it
meant.
Luke 18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
Luke 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have
mercy on me.
Luke 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.
Luke 18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto
him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
Luke 18:41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And
he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
Luke 18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith
hath saved thee.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
Luke 19:2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was
the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Luke 19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for
the press, because he was little of stature.
Luke 19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree
to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Luke 19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw
him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for
to day I must abide at thy house.
Luke 19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him
joyfully.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:8 And Zacchæus 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.
Luke 19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to
this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that
which was lost.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far
country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten
pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained ten pounds.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained five pounds.
Luke 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five
cities.
Luke 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy
pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Luke 19:21 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,
that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Luke 19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the
pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Luke 19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Luke 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.
Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should
reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Luke 19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending
up to Jerusalem.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even
as he had said unto them.
Luke 19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof
said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Luke 19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Luke 19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their
garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Luke 19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Luke 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;
Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of
the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said
unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Luke 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.
Luke 19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept
over it,
Luke 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.
Luke 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,
Luke 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.
Luke 19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them
that sold therein, and them that bought;
Luke 19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house
of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Luke 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,
Luke 19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the
people were very attentive to hear him.
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,
Luke 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?
Luke 20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you
one thing; and answer me:
Luke 20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Luke 20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
Luke 20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us:
for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
Luke 20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it
was.
Luke 20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what
authority I do these things.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him
also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
Luke 20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also,
and cast him out.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Luke 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.
Luke 20:20 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.
Luke 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:
Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?
Luke 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
Why tempt ye me?
Luke 20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath
it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.
Luke 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the
things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
Luke 20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the
people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
Luke 20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny
that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
Luke 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.
Luke 20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took
a wife, and died without children.
Luke 20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
Luke 20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven
also: and they left no children, and died.
Luke 20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
Luke 20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is
she? for seven had her to wife.
Luke 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of
this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luke 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:
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for
all live unto him.
Luke 20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master,
thou hast well said.
Luke 20:40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at
all.
Luke 20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is
David’s son?
Luke 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke 20:43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Luke 20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his
son?
Luke 20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
disciples,
Luke 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;
Luke 20:47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long
prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Luke 21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their
gifts into the treasury.
Luke 21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither
two mites.
Luke 21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor
widow hath cast in more than they all:
Luke 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.
Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts, he said,
Luke 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.
Luke 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?
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate
before what ye shall answer:
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 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.
Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luke 21:21 Then let them which are in Judæa 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 thereinto.
Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things
which are written may be fulfilled.
Luke 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.
Luke 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.
Luke 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
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking
after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers
of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a
cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,
and all the trees;
Luke 21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
Luke 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,
know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass
away, till all be fulfilled.
Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall
not pass away.
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares
of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on
the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to
pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke 21:37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and
at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the
mount of Olives.
Luke 21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in
the temple, for to hear him.
Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover.
Luke 22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
kill him; for they feared the people.
Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being
of the number of the twelve.
Luke 22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests
and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
Luke 22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
Luke 22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him
unto them in the absence of the multitude.
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
Luke 22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us
the passover, that we may eat.
Luke 22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Luke 22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into
the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he entereth in.
Luke 22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The
Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall
eat the passover with my disciples?
Luke 22:12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished:
there make ready.
Luke 22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and
they made ready the passover.
Luke 22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
apostles with him.
Luke 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to
eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Luke 22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof,
until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take
this, and divide it among yourselves:
Luke 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of
the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is
the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Luke 22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with
me on the table.
Luke 22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined:
but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
Luke 22:23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of
them it was that should do this thing.
Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them
should be accounted the greatest.
Luke 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon
them are called benefactors.
Luke 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among
you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that
doth serve.
Luke 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he
that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you
as he that serveth.
Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my
temptations.
Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed unto me;
Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath
desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Luke 22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,
both into prison, and to death.
Luke 22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not
crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou
knowest me.
Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse,
and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse,
let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet
be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the
transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Luke 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And
he said unto them, It is enough.
Luke 22:39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount
of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray
that ye enter not into temptation.
Luke 22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast,
and kneeled down, and prayed,
Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup
from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Luke 22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the
ground.
Luke 22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
Luke 22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation.
Luke 22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that
was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Luke 22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son
of man with a kiss?
Luke 22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow,
they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Luke 22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
Luke 22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed him.
Luke 22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of
the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come
out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
Luke 22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched
forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.
Luke 22:54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into
the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
Luke 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the
hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Luke 22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire,
and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with
him.
Luke 22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
Luke 22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said,
Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
Luke 22:59 And about the space of one hour after another
confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with
him: for he is a Galilæan.
Luke 22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
Luke 22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Luke 22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Luke 22:63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
Luke 22:64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on
the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee?
Luke 22:65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against
him.
Luke 22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and
the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into
their council, saying,
Luke 22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If
I tell you, ye will not believe:
Luke 22:68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let
me go.
Luke 22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of
the power of God.
Luke 22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And
he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
Luke 22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we
ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
Luke 23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate.
Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this
fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to
Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
Luke 23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
Luke 23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people,
I find no fault in this man.
Luke 23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up
the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee
to this place.
Luke 23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man
were a Galilæan.
Luke 23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time.
Luke 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he
was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard
many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by
him.
Luke 23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he
answered him nothing.
Luke 23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
accused him.
Luke 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and
mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again
to Pilate.
Luke 23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends
together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke 23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief
priests and the rulers and the people,
Luke 23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as
one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined
him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those
things whereof ye accuse him:
Luke 23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo,
nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
Luke 23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
Luke 23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the
feast.)
Luke 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this
man, and release unto us Barabbas:
Luke 23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for
murder, was cast into prison.)
Luke 23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again
to them.
Luke 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Luke 23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil
hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will
therefore chastise him, and let him go.
Luke 23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that
he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed.
Luke 23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they
required.
Luke 23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and
murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he
delivered Jesus to their will.
Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one
Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid
the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
Luke 23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and
of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of
Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your
children.
Luke 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they
shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare,
and the paps which never gave suck.
Luke 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on
us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Luke 23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall
be done in the dry?
Luke 23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with
him to be put to death.
Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also
with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save
himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and
offering him vinegar,
Luke 23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save
thyself.
Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in
letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE
JEWS.
Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on
him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not
thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of
our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom.
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day
shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a
darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple
was rent in the midst.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said,
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost.
Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified
God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
Luke 23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight,
beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and
returned.
Luke 23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed
him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Luke 23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a
counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
Luke 23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of
them;) he was of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews: who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God.
Luke 23:52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of
Jesus.
Luke 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid
it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before
was laid.
Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew
on.
Luke 23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,
followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was
laid.
Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments;
and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the
morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which
they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Luke 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Luke 24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord
Jesus.
Luke 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed
thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
Luke 24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to
the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the
dead?
Luke 24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto
you when he was yet in Galilee,
Luke 24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Luke 24:8 And they remembered his words,
Luke 24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these
things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother
of James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
Luke 24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
Luke 24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and
stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
Luke 24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a
village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.
Luke 24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
Luke 24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together
and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Luke 24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know
him.
Luke 24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications
are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
Luke 24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering
said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
Luke 24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto
him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people:
Luke 24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him
to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
Luke 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day
since these things were done.
Luke 24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
Luke 24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying,
that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was
alive.
Luke 24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him
they saw not.
Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to
enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he
expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning
himself.
Luke 24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
and he made as though he would have gone further.
Luke 24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it
is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.
Luke 24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he
took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out of their sight.
Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn
within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened
to us the scriptures?
Luke 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that
were with them,
Luke 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to
Simon.
Luke 24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how
he was known of them in breaking of bread.
Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the
midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luke 24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed
that they had seen a spirit.
Luke 24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye
see me have.
Luke 24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands
and his feet.
Luke 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,
he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
Luke 24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
Luke 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I
spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
power from on high.
Luke 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted
up his hands, and blessed them.
Luke 24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was
parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Luke 24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy:
Luke 24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and
blessing God. Amen.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the
Light, that all men through him might believe.
John 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and
the world knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he
of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
for he was before me.
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for
grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent
priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
John 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am
not the Christ.
John 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he
saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
John 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give
an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
John 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John 1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
John 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest
thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
prophet?
John 1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but
there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
John 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
John 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where
John was baptizing.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and
saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world.
John 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which
is preferred before me: for he was before me.
John 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest
to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with
water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth
with the Holy Ghost.
John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
John 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his
disciples;
John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold
the Lamb of God!
John 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus.
John 1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith
unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to
say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
John 1:39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw
where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the
tenth hour.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him,
was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto
him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the
Christ.
John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him,
he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
John 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and
Peter.
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have
found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
John 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing
come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him,
Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when
thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art
the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
John 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto
thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt
see greater things than these.
John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
John 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the
marriage.
John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto
him, They have no wine.
John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
mine hour is not yet come.
John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it.
John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after
the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece.
John 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And
they filled them up to the brim.
John 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
governor of the feast. And they bare it.
John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was
made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which
drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom,
John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set
forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is
worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,
and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
John 2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his
mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued
there not many days.
John 2:13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem,
John 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep
and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
John 2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The
zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
John 2:18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign
shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up.
John 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple
in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
John 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the
scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the
feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
which he did.
John 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he
knew all men,
John 2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he
knew what was in man.
John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a
ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him,
Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God.
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he
is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and
be born?
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these
things be?
John 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of
Israel, and knowest not these things?
John 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do
know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came
down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
John 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim,
because there was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized.
John 3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
John 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s
disciples and the Jews about purifying.
John 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he
that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing,
except it be given him from heaven.
John 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the
Christ, but that I am sent before him.
John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend
of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore
is fulfilled.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of
the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh
from heaven is above all.
John 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and
no man receiveth his testimony.
John 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal
that God is true.
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for
God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things
into his hand.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and
he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of
God abideth on him.
John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
John 4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
John 4:3 He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
John 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
John 4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called
Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son
Joseph.
John 4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being
wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about
the sixth hour.
John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus
saith unto her, Give me to drink.
John 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy
meat.)
John 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that
thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of
Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the
gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink;
thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water.
John 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living
water?
John 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle?
John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of
this water shall thirst again:
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that
I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
John 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come
hither.
John 4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
John 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art
a prophet.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour
cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for
the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things.
John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John 4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he
talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why
talkest thou with her?
John 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into
the city, and saith to the men,
John 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ?
John 4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
John 4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying,
Master, eat.
John 4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know
not of.
John 4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any
man brought him ought to eat?
John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him
that sent me, and to finish his work.
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth
may rejoice together.
John 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
reapeth.
John 4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:
other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
John 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him
for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that
ever I did.
John 4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought
him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
John 4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;
John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of
thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is
indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
John 4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into
Galilee.
John 4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no
honour in his own country.
John 4:45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans
received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem
at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
John 4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made
the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was
sick at Capernaum.
John 4:47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa into
Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come
down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and
wonders, ye will not believe.
John 4:49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child
die.
John 4:50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And
the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he
went his way.
John 4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and
told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
John 4:52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to
amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever left him.
John 4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the
which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed,
and his whole house.
John 4:54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he
was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
John 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
John 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches.
John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
John 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he
had.
John 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity
thirty and eight years.
John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a
long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole?
John 5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when
the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me.
John 5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his
bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
John 5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is
the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
John 5:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said
unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto
thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
John 5:13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus
had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto
him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing
come unto thee.
John 5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus,
which had made him whole.
John 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought
to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and
I work.
John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because
he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.
John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all
things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than
these, that ye may marvel.
John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son:
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour
the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father
which hath sent him.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life.
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live.
John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given
to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the
will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
John 5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
John 5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
John 5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye might be saved.
John 5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were
willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works
that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne
witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
seen his shape.
John 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he
hath sent, him ye believe not.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
John 5:41 I receive not honour from men.
John 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
John 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another,
and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
John 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there
is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me:
for he wrote of me.
John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe
my words?
John 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee,
which is the sea of Tiberias.
John 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his
miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
John 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with
his disciples.
John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great
company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy
bread, that these may eat?
John 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what
he would do.
John 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is
not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
John 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother,
saith unto him,
John 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and
two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
John 6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was
much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
thousand.
John 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks,
he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
John 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
John 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve
baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which
remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that
Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come
into the world.
John 6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and
take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.
John 6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto
the sea,
John 6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
John 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
John 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto
the ship: and they were afraid.
John 6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
John 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
John 6:22 The day following, when the people which stood on the
other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there,
save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus
went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples
were gone away alone;
John 6:23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto
the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given
thanks:)
John 6:24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
John 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the
sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye
did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that
meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man
shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might
work the works of God?
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of
God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is
written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father
giveth you the true bread from heaven.
John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from
heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he
that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst.
John 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and
believe not.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that
of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should
raise it up again at the last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the
bread which came down from heaven.
John 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
came down from heaven?
John 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among yourselves.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent
me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all
taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath
learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is
of God, he hath seen the Father.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
John 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead.
John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a
man may eat thereof, and not die.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if
any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread
that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world.
John 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you.
John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed.
John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth
in me, and I in him.
John 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
John 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
bread shall live for ever.
John 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.
John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
John 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured
at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where
he was before?
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and
they are life.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who
should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can
come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him.
John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we
go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ,
the Son of the living God.
John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and
one of you is a devil?
John 6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it
was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would
not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
John 7:2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
John 7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and
go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou
doest.
John 7:4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and
he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,
shew thyself to the world.
John 7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but
your time is alway ready.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this
feast; for my time is not yet full come.
John 7:9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
Galilee.
John 7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up
unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
John 7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where
is he?
John 7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning
him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he
deceiveth the people.
John 7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
John 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the
temple, and taught.
John 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man
letters, having never learned?
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine,
but his that sent me.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but
he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him.
John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you
keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
John 7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who
goeth about to kill thee?
John 7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,
and ye all marvel.
John 7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because
it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day
circumcise a man.
John 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that
the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because
I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment.
John 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he,
whom they seek to kill?
John 7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto
him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
John 7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
John 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye
both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of
myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
John 7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
John 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come.
John 7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When
Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man
hath done?
John 7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent
officers to take him.
John 7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with
you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
John 7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am,
thither ye cannot come.
John 7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go,
that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among
the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
John 7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall
seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot
come?
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me,
and drink.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out
of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that
believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet
given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
John 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall
Christ come out of Galilee?
John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the
seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
John 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
John 7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid
hands on him.
John 7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
John 7:46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
John 7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
John 7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on
him?
John 7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
John 7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by
night, being one of them,)
John 7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know
what he doeth?
John 7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of
Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
John 7:53 And every man went unto his own house.
John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
John 8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple,
and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
them.
John 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman
taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in
adultery, in the very act.
John 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be
stoned: but what sayest thou?
John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to
accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on
the ground, as though he heard them not.
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself,
and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him
first cast a stone at her.
John 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
John 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even
unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst.
John 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the
woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers?
hath no man condemned thee?
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither
do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light
of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life.
John 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest
record of thyself; thy record is not true.
John 8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record
of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and
whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
John 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not
alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
John 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of
two men is true.
John 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father
that sent me beareth witness of me.
John 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus
answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also.
John 8:20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in
the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet
come.
John 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye
shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot
come.
John 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he
saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
John 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from
above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your
sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your
sins.
John 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith
unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he
that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which
I have heard of him.
John 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the
Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing
of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left
me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If
ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.
John 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never
in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
John 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but
the Son abideth ever.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be
free indeed.
John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill
me, because my word hath no place in you.
John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do
that which ye have seen with your father.
John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do
the works of Abraham.
John 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him,
We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would
love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I
of myself, but he sent me.
John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye
cannot hear my word.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it.
John 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
John 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the
truth, why do ye not believe me?
John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear
them not, because ye are not of God.
John 8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not
well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
John 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my
Father, and ye do dishonour me.
John 8:50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh
and judgeth.
John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
John 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast
a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a
man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
John 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead?
and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
John 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is
nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that
he is your God:
John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I
should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I
know him, and keep his saying.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw
it, and was glad.
John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty
years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
John 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of
them, and so passed by.
John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from
his birth.
John 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin,
this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his
parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is
day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the
world.
John 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made
clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man
with the clay,
John 9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which
is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and
washed, and came seeing.
John 9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen
him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
John 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but
he said, I am he.
John 9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes
opened?
John 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made
clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of
Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
John 9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know
not.
John 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was
blind.
John 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
opened his eyes.
John 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had
received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes,
and I washed, and do see.
John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of
God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can
a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division
among them.
John 9:17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of
him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
John 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had
been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents
of him that had received his sight.
John 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye
say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
John 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is
our son, and that he was born blind:
John 9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall
speak for himself.
John 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the
Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess
that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
John 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
John 9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said
unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
John 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I
know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
John 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how
opened he thine eyes?
John 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did
not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his
disciples?
John 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple;
but we are Moses’ disciples.
John 9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow,
we know not from whence he is.
John 9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a
marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he
hath opened mine eyes.
John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man
be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
John 9:32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man
opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
John 9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
John 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether
born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had
found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
John 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might
believe on him?
John 9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it
is he that talketh with thee.
John 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,
that they which see not might see; and that they which see might
be made blind.
John 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard
these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have
no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by
the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber.
John 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of
the sheep.
John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:
and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from
him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
John 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood
not what things they were which he spake unto them.
John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers:
but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep.
John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose
own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the
sheep.
John 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep.
John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known
of mine.
John 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father:
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again.
John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.
This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for
these sayings.
John 10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why
hear ye him?
John 10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication,
and it was winter.
John 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him,
How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell
us plainly.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:
the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as
I said unto you.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and
no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you
from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone
thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I
said, Ye are gods?
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came,
and the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and
sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the
Son of God?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the
works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me,
and I in him.
John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped
out of their hand,
John 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where
John at first baptized; and there he abode.
John 10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no
miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
John 10:42 And many believed on him there.
John 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany,
the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
John 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
John 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord,
behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not
unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby.
John 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
John 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode
two days still in the same place where he was.
John 11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go
into Judæa again.
John 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late
sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?
If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
light of this world.
John 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because
there is no light in him.
John 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto
them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him
out of sleep.
John 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do
well.
John 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that
he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
John 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to
the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
John 11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
John 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the
grave four days already.
John 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen
furlongs off:
John 11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to
comfort them concerning their brother.
John 11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was
coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
John 11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died.
John 11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of
God, God will give it thee.
John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
John 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again
in the resurrection at the last day.
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the
life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he
live:
John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die. Believest thou this?
John 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art
the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
John 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called
Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth
for thee.
John 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came
unto him.
John 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in
that place where Martha met him.
John 11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and
comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and
went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep
there.
John 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him,
she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst
been here, my brother had not died.
John 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled,
John 11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him,
Lord, come and see.
John 11:35 Jesus wept.
John 11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
John 11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened
the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not
have died?
John 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the
grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
John 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister
of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he
stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if
thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
John 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the
dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I
thank thee that thou hast heard me.
John 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of
the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that
thou hast sent me.
John 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud
voice, Lazarus, come forth.
John 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot
with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen
the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
John 11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and
told them what things Jesus had done.
John 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a
council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
John 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him:
and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
John 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest
that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
John 11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man
should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
John 11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
John 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should
gather together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad.
John 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for
to put him to death.
John 11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews;
but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city
called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
John 11:55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went
out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
John 11:56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves,
as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
to the feast?
John 11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew
it, that they might take him.
John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
John 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very
costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
John 12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s
son, which should betray him,
John 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence,
and given to the poor?
John 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but
because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put
therein.
John 12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my
burying hath she kept this.
John 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.
John 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was
there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might
see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
John 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put
Lazarus also to death;
John 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went
away, and believed on Jesus.
John 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the
feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet
him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
John 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon;
as it is written,
John 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass’s colt.
John 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first:
but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these
things were written of him, and that they had done these things
unto him.
John 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called
Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare
record.
John 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they
heard that he had done this miracle.
John 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive
ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
John 12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up
to worship at the feast:
John 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of
Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see
Jesus.
John 12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and
Philip tell Jesus.
John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that
the Son of man should be glorified.
John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit.
John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am,
there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
Father honour.
John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,
save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from
heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it
again.
John 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said
that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
John 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of
me, but for your sakes.
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince
of this world be cast out.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men unto me.
John 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
John 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law
that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the
light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come
upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he
goeth.
John 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may
be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed,
and did hide himself from them.
John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them,
yet they believed not on him:
John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be
fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and
to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
John 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias
said again,
John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart;
that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with
their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
John 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and
spake of him.
John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed
on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him,
lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise
of God.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
John 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge
him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath
one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day.
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which
sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I
should speak.
John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so
I speak.
John 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew
that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he
loved them unto the end.
John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into
the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
John 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into
his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
John 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and
took a towel, and girded himself.
John 13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to
wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded.
John 13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest
not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
John 13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
John 13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but
also my hands and my head.
John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save
to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but
not all.
John 13:11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he,
Ye are not all clean.
John 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what
I have done to you?
John 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I
am.
John 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I
have done to you.
John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not
greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he
that sent him.
John 13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
John 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but
that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me
hath lifted up his heel against me.
John 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.
John 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth
whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth
him that sent me.
John 13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit,
and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me.
John 13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of
whom he spake.
John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his
disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should
ask who it should be of whom he spake.
John 13:25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord,
who is it?
John 13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop,
when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it
to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
John 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said
Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
John 13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake
this unto him.
John 13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag,
that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need
of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the
poor.
John 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out:
and it was night.
John 13:31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the
Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
John 13:32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him
in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye
shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if
ye have love one to another.
John 13:36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou?
Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now;
but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
John 13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee
now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
John 13:38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my
sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may
be also.
John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou
goest; and how can we know the way?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of
myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in
me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye
know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but
ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and
ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it
is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it
that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he
will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present
with you.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not
as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come
again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said,
I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that,
when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
John 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and
as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.
John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh
away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it
may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken
unto you.
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without
me ye can do nothing.
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire,
and they are burned.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;
so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in my love.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his
love.
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might
remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I
have loved you.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
unto you.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before
it hated you.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:
but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is
not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep
yours also.
John 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my
name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not
had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
John 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
John 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other
man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and
hated both me and my Father.
John 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be
fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a
cause.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto
you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been
with me from the beginning.
John 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not
be offended.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God
service.
John 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they
have not known the Father, nor me.
John 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time
shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these
things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with
you.
John 16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
asketh me, Whither goest thou?
John 16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow
hath filled your heart.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
John 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see
me no more;
John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is
judged.
John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will
guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and
shall shew it unto you.
John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore
said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a
little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John 16:17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What
is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not
see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,
Because I go to the Father?
John 16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A
little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
John 16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and
said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A
little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while,
and ye shall see me?
John 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and
lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful,
but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
John 16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her
hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into
the world.
John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh
from you.
John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my
name, he will give it you.
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that your joy may be full.
John 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but
the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs,
but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
John 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto
you, that I will pray the Father for you:
John 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the
world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou
plainly, and speakest no proverb.
John 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and
needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that
thou camest forth from God.
John 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye
shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me
alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that
thy Son also may glorify thee:
John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he
should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the
work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou
gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them
me; and they have kept thy word.
John 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast
given me are of thee.
John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest
me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came
out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them
which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own
name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
are.
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy
name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is
lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
fulfilled.
John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the
world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated
them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world.
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the
world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I
also sent them into the world.
John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also
might be sanctified through the truth.
John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word;
John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me,
and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.
John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one:
John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made
perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent
me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me,
be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
world.
John 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but
I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will
declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in
them, and I in them.
John 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with
his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the
which he entered, and his disciples.
John 18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
John 18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers
from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns
and torches and weapons.
John 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come
upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
John 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto
them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with
them.
John 18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they
went backward, and fell to the ground.
John 18:7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
John 18:8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if
therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
John 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of
them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
John 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the
high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s
name was Malchus.
John 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the
sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink
it?
John 18:12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews
took Jesus, and bound him,
John 18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in
law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
John 18:14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews,
that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John 18:15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another
disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went
in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
John 18:16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that
other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake
unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
John 18:17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter,
Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
John 18:18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made
a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and
Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
John 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and
of his doctrine.
John 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever
taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews
always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
John 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I
have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
John 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which
stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest
thou the high priest so?
John 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness
of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
John 18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high
priest.
John 18:25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said
therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He
denied it, and said, I am not.
John 18:26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his
kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the
garden with him?
John 18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of
judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might
eat the passover.
John 18:29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What
accusation bring ye against this man?
John 18:30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a
malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
John 18:31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not
lawful for us to put any man to death:
John 18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he
spake, signifying what death he should die.
John 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and
called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
John 18:34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself,
or did others tell it thee of me?
John 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the
chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my
kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I
should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not
from hence.
John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?
Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my
voice.
John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had
said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I
find in him no fault at all.
John 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you
one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the
King of the Jews?
John 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but
Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
John 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it
on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
John 19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him
with their hands.
John 19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no
fault in him.
John 19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and
the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
John 19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him,
they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith
unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in
him.
John 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
John 19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid;
John 19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto
Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
John 19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me?
knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power
to release thee?
John 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all
against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he
that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
John 19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but
the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not
Cæsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against
Cæsar.
John 19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought
Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about
the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
John 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him,
crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.
John 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be
crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
John 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
John 19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on
either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And
the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written
in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
John 19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate,
Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of
the Jews.
John 19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took
his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top
throughout.
John 19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend
it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture
might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among
them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things
therefore the soldiers did.
John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and
his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene.
John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!
John 19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And
from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
John 19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst.
John 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they
filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it
to his mouth.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath
day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
John 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the
first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and forthwith came there out blood and water.
John 19:35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true:
and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
John 19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture should
be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
John 19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on
him whom they pierced.
John 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple
of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that
he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave.
He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
John 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came
to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about
an hundred pound weight.
John 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
John 19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a
garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man
yet laid.
John 19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulchre.
John 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have
taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where
they have laid him.
John 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and
came to the sepulchre.
John 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did
outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
John 20:5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen
clothes lying; yet went he not in.
John 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
John 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with
the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
John 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first
to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
John 20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must
rise again from the dead.
John 20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
John 20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as
she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
John 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the
head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
John 20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She
saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know
not where they have laid him.
John 20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back,
and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
John 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom
seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto
him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
laid him, and I will take him away.
John 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and
saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your
God.
John 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had
seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of
the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
John 20:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands
and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the
Lord.
John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and
saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
John 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto
them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
John 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not
with them when Jesus came.
John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have
seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his
hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of
the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within,
and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and
behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my
side: and be not faithless, but believing.
John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my
God.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen
me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and
yet have believed.
John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of
his disciples, which are not written in this book:
John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have
life through his name.
John 21:1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he
himself.
John 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called
Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of
Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say
unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into
a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
John 21:4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the
shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
John 21:5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?
They answered him, No.
John 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of
the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
John 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto
Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and
did cast himself into the sea.
John 21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they
were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
dragging the net with fishes.
John 21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire
of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
John 21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have
now caught.
John 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of
great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there
were so many, yet was not the net broken.
John 21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
John 21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them,
and fish likewise.
John 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to
his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
John 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the
third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou
knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith
unto him, Feed my sheep.
John 21:18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young,
thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but
when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
John 21:19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should
glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me.
John 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom
Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper,
and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
John 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall
this man do?
John 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I
come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
John 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that
that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He
shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to thee?
John 21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things,
and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that
even the world itself could not contain the books that should be
written. Amen.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
Acts 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all
that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Acts 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he
through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles
whom he had chosen:
Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by
many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them
that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be
baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of
him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel?
Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the
times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he
went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing
up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven.
Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper
room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of
Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and
supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and
with his brethren.
Acts 1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the
disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an
hundred and twenty,)
Acts 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before
concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Acts 1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of
this ministry.
Acts 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of
iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and
all his bowels gushed out.
Acts 1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem;
insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama,
that is to say, The field of blood.
Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his
habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his
bishoprick let another take.
Acts 1:21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all
the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Acts 1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day
that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.
Acts 1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 1:24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship,
from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his
own place.
Acts 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began
to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men,
out of every nation under heaven.
Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came
together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them
speak in his own language.
Acts 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to
another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?
Acts 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we
were born?
Acts 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Acts 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of
Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Acts 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our
tongues the wonderful works of God.
Acts 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one
to another, What meaneth this?
Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his
voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell
at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is
but the third hour of the day.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out
in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in
the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also
know:
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain:
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of
death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord
always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should
not be moved:
Acts 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt
make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the
patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had
sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his
throne;
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of
Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did
see corruption.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are
witnesses.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he
hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith
himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both
Lord and Christ.
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men
and brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and
to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall
call.
Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine
and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and
signs were done by the apostles.
Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things
common;
Acts 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to
all men, as every man had need.
Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat
with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And
the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at
the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Acts 3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was
carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is
called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the
temple;
Acts 3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple
asked an alms.
Acts 3:4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said,
Look on us.
Acts 3:5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive
something of them.
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as
I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk.
Acts 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Acts 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with
them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Acts 3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
Acts 3:10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the
Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and
amazement at that which had happened unto him.
Acts 3:11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and
John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is
called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye
men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly
on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man
to walk?
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God
of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered
up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to let him go.
Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
murderer to be granted unto you;
Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from
the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this
man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him
hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did
it, as did also your rulers.
Acts 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the
mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so
fulfilled.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins
may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from
the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you:
Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of
restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of
all his holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall
the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto
you.
Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will
not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Acts 3:24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that
follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of
these days.
Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant
which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy
seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent
him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his
iniquities.
Acts 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the
captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
Acts 4:2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached
through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Acts 4:3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto
the next day: for it was now eventide.
Acts 4:4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and
the number of the men was about five thousand.
Acts 4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and
elders, and scribes,
Acts 4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and
Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest,
were gathered together at Jerusalem.
Acts 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By
what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them,
Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Acts 4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of
Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this
man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you
builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they
marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been
with Jesus.
Acts 4:14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with
them, they could say nothing against it.
Acts 4:15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the
council, they conferred among themselves,
Acts 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a
notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them
that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
Acts 4:17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us
straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in
this name.
Acts 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at
all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Acts 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether
it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto
God, judge ye.
Acts 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen
and heard.
Acts 4:21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them
go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the
people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
Acts 4:22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this
miracle of healing was shewed.
Acts 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and
reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
Acts 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to
God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did
the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were
gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou
hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
Acts 4:28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
before to be done.
Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto
thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
Acts 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs
and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where
they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one
heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the
things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things
common.
Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as
many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought
the prices of the things that were sold,
Acts 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and
distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
Acts 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,
(which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite,
and of the country of Cyprus,
Acts 4:37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it
at the apostles’ feet.
Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife,
sold a possession,
Acts 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being
privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the
apostles’ feet.
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine
heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price
of the land?
Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it
was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived
this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto
God.
Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up
the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these
things.
Acts 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him
out, and buried him.
Acts 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Acts 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the
land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
Acts 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed
together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them
which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry
thee out.
Acts 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded
up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and,
carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
Acts 5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as
many as heard these things.
Acts 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and
wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one
accord in Solomon’s porch.
Acts 5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but
the people magnified them.
Acts 5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord,
multitudes both of men and women.)
Acts 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the
streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
Acts 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round
about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were
vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acts 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were
with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled
with indignation,
Acts 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in
the common prison.
Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison
doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Acts 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the
words of this life.
Acts 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple
early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and
they that were with him, and called the council together, and all
the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to
have them brought.
Acts 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the
prison, they returned, and told,
Acts 5:23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety,
and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had
opened, we found no man within.
Acts 5:24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple
and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them
whereunto this would grow.
Acts 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men
whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the
people.
Acts 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought
them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they
should have been stoned.
Acts 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the
council: and the high priest asked them,
Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should
not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with
your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We
ought to obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree.
Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince
and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness
of sins.
Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also
the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Acts 5:33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and
took counsel to slay them.
Acts 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee,
named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all
the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little
space;
Acts 5:35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to
yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
Acts 5:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself
to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred,
joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him,
were scattered, and brought to nought.
Acts 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of
the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished;
and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Acts 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let
them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will
come to nought:
Acts 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply
ye be found even to fight against God.
Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the
apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not
speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his
name.
Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased
not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the
Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily
ministration.
Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples
unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the
word of God, and serve tables.
Acts 6:3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of
honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business.
Acts 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to
the ministry of the word.
Acts 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they
chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and
Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and
Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Acts 6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had
prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Acts 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the
disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of
the priests were obedient to the faith.
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders
and miracles among the people.
Acts 6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is
called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and
Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with
Stephen.
Acts 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit by which he spake.
Acts 6:11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him
speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
Acts 6:12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the
scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the
council,
Acts 6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth
not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the
law:
Acts 6:14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth
shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses
delivered us.
Acts 6:15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on
him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
Acts 7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God
of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in
Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
Acts 7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from
thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
Acts 7:4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt
in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
Acts 7:5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much
as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to
him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he
had no child.
Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn
in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage,
and entreat them evil four hundred years.
Acts 7:7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I
judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve
me in this place.
Acts 7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so
Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac
begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
Acts 7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into
Egypt: but God was with him,
Acts 7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave
him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and
he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no
sustenance.
Acts 7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he
sent out our fathers first.
Acts 7:13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his
brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
Acts 7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him,
and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Acts 7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our
fathers,
Acts 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the
sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of
Emmor the father of Sychem.
Acts 7:17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God
had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Acts 7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
Acts 7:19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil
entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children,
to the end they might not live.
Acts 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair,
and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
Acts 7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him
up, and nourished him for her own son.
Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
Acts 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his
heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Acts 7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him,
and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Acts 7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how
that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Acts 7:26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they
strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are
brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
Acts 7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away,
saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Acts 7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian
yesterday?
Acts 7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in
the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
Acts 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him
in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of
fire in a bush.
Acts 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he
drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
Acts 7:32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled,
and durst not behold.
Acts 7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy
feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Acts 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people
which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come
down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Acts 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a
ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a
deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the
bush.
Acts 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders
and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the
wilderness forty years.
Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of
Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of
your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness
with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our
fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
Acts 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from
them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Acts 7:40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as
for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot
not what is become of him.
Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered
sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own
hands.
Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of
heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house
of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by
the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star
of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I
will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the
wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he
should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
Acts 7:45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with
Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out
before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Acts 7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a
tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Acts 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with
hands; as saith the prophet,
Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what
house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my
rest?
Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye
do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the
Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Acts 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels,
and have not kept it.
Acts 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the
heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up
stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus
standing on the right hand of God,
Acts 7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son
of man standing on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their
ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Acts 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the
witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose
name was Saul.
Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying,
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Acts 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord,
lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he
fell asleep.
Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time
there was a great persecution against the church which was at
Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the
regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
Acts 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made
great lamentation over him.
Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into
every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Acts 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every
where preaching the word.
Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and
preached Christ unto them.
Acts 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those
things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which
he did.
Acts 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of
many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies,
and that were lame, were healed.
Acts 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
Acts 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which
beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people
of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Acts 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the
greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Acts 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he
had bewitched them with sorceries.
Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things
concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they
were baptized, both men and women.
Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was
baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the
miracles and signs which were done.
Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter
and John:
Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that
they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they
were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received
the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the
apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Acts 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I
lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased
with money.
Acts 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy
heart is not right in the sight of God.
Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God,
if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
Acts 8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness,
and in the bond of iniquity.
Acts 8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for
me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
Acts 8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word
of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in
many villages of the Samaritans.
Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying,
Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from
Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia,
an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the
Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come
to Jerusalem for to worship,
Acts 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias
the prophet.
Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join
thyself to this chariot.
Acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the
prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?
And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Acts 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He
was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before
his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Acts 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who
shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the
earth.
Acts 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee,
of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other
man?
Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Acts 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain
water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder
me to be baptized?
Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,
thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God.
Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they
went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he
baptized him.
Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit
of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more:
and he went on his way rejoicing.
Acts 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he
preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Acts 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,
that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,
he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly
there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto
him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against
the pricks.
Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into
the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Acts 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,
hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Acts 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought
him into Damascus.
Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat
nor drink.
Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named
Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he
said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas
for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Acts 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in,
and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of
this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Acts 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to
bind all that call on thy name.
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a
chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and
kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for
my name’s sake.
Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;
and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even
Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with
the Holy Ghost.
Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.
Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then
was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues,
that he is the Son of God.
Acts 9:21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not
this he that destroyed them which called on this name in
Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring
them bound unto the chief priests?
Acts 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded
the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very
Christ.
Acts 9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took
counsel to kill him:
Acts 9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Acts 9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down
by the wall in a basket.
Acts 9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and
believed not that he was a disciple.
Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles,
and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at
Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Acts 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
Jerusalem.
Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
Acts 9:30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Acts 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of
the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Acts 9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Acts 9:33 And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had
kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
Acts 9:34 And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Acts 9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and
turned to the Lord.
Acts 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha,
which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of
good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Acts 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick,
and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an
upper chamber.
Acts 9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the
disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two
men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Acts 9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come,
they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood
by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas
made, while she was with them.
Acts 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and
prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she
opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Acts 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he
had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
Acts 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed
in the Lord.
Acts 9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa
with one Simon a tanner.
Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a
centurion of the band called the Italian band,
Acts 10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his
house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God
alway.
Acts 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the
day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him,
Cornelius.
Acts 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What
is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are
come up for a memorial before God.
Acts 10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose
surname is Peter:
Acts 10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by
the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
Acts 10:7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was
departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout
soldier of them that waited on him continually;
Acts 10:8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he
sent them to Joppa.
Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew
nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
the sixth hour:
Acts 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but
while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
Acts 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending
unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners,
and let down to the earth:
Acts 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the
earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and
eat.
Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten
any thing that is common or unclean.
Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time,
What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Acts 10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up
again into heaven.
Acts 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision
which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent
from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood
before the gate,
Acts 10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed
Peter, were lodged there.
Acts 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto
him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Acts 10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them,
doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Acts 10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto
him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what
is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Acts 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and
one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of
the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee
into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Acts 10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the
morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa
accompanied him.
Acts 10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And
Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and
near friends.
Acts 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell
down at his feet, and worshipped him.
Acts 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also
am a man.
Acts 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many
that were come together.
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an
unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come
unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should
not call any man common or unclean.
Acts 10:29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon
as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent
for me?
Acts 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until
this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and,
behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Acts 10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine
alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Acts 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose
surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner
by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
Acts 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast
well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here
present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of
God.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him.
Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Acts 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published
throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism
which John preached;
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in
the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged
on a tree:
Acts 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Acts 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before
of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose
from the dead.
Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to
testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of
quick and dead.
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell
on all them which heard the word.
Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were
astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify
God. Then answered Peter,
Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the
Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard
that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Acts 11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were
of the circumcision contended with him,
Acts 11:3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst
eat with them.
Acts 11:4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and
expounded it by order unto them, saying,
Acts 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I
saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great
sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to
me:
Acts 11:6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I
considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild
beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Acts 11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay
and eat.
Acts 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean
hath at any time entered into my mouth.
Acts 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God
hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Acts 11:10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up
again into heaven.
Acts 11:11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already
come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
Acts 11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into
the man’s house:
Acts 11:13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house,
which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for
Simon, whose surname is Peter;
Acts 11:14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy
house shall be saved.
Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them,
as on us at the beginning.
Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he
said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost.
Acts 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did
unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
could withstand God?
Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace,
and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles
granted repentance unto life.
Acts 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the
persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice,
and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the
Jews only.
Acts 11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,
when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching
the Lord Jesus.
Acts 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great
number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Acts 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the
church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that
he should go as far as Antioch.
Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was
glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would
cleave unto the Lord.
Acts 11:24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and
of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Acts 11:25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.
And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves
with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto
Antioch.
Acts 11:28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and
signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth
throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of
Claudius Cæsar.
Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
Acts 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the
hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Acts 12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his
hands to vex certain of the church.
Acts 12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Acts 12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded
further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened
bread.)
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison,
and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made
without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
Acts 12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same
night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a
light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and
raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off
from his hands.
Acts 12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on
thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy
garment about thee, and follow me.
Acts 12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it
was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
Acts 12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they
came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened
to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on
through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
Acts 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know
of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered
me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the
people of the Jews.
Acts 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the
house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where
many were gathered together praying.
Acts 12:13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel
came to hearken, named Rhoda.
Acts 12:14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the
gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the
gate.
Acts 12:15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she
constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his
angel.
Acts 12:16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened
the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
Acts 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their
peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the
prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the
brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Acts 12:18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir
among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Acts 12:19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not,
he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to
death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.
Acts 12:20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and
Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made
Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace;
because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat
upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of
a god, and not of a man.
Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him,
because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and
gave up the ghost.
Acts 12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Acts 12:25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when
they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose
surname was Mark.
Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain
prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called
Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up
with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy
Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I
have called them.
Acts 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their
hands on them, they sent them away.
Acts 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed
unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Acts 13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of
God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their
minister.
Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos,
they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
was Bar-jesus:
Acts 13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius
Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and
desired to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by
interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy
from the faith.
Acts 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the
Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou
child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not
cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Acts 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and
thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And
immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went
about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Acts 13:12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed,
being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Acts 13:13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they
came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned
to Jerusalem.
Acts 13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch
in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
sat down.
Acts 13:15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the
rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and
brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say
on.
Acts 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said,
Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
Acts 13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and
exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of
Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
Acts 13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their
manners in the wilderness.
Acts 13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
Acts 13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space
of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
Acts 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto
them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the
space of forty years.
Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said,
I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfil all my will.
Acts 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise
raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Acts 13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the
baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Acts 13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think
ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me,
whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Acts 13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and
whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this
salvation sent.
Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers,
because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets
which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in
condemning him.
Acts 13:28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet
desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of
him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a
sepulchre.
Acts 13:30 But God raised him from the dead:
Acts 13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with
him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the
people.
Acts 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the
promise which was made unto the fathers,
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in
that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the
second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Acts 13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead,
now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will
give you the sure mercies of David.
Acts 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt
not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by
the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and
saw corruption:
Acts 13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
Acts 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that
through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all
things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Acts 13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is
spoken of in the prophets;
Acts 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I
work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise
believe, though a man declare it unto you.
Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the
Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the
next sabbath.
Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the
Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who,
speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city
together to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled
with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by
Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was
necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to
you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy
of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
Acts 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set
thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and
glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed.
Acts 13:49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all
the region.
Acts 13:50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable
women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution
against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
Acts 13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them,
and came unto Iconium.
Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the
Holy Ghost.
Acts 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both
together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a
great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and
made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
Acts 14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the
Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted
signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Acts 14:4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held
with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Acts 14:5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles,
and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully,
and to stone them,
Acts 14:6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe,
cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
Acts 14:7 And there they preached the gospel.
Acts 14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his
feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had
walked:
Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him,
and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
Acts 14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And
he leaped and walked.
Acts 14:11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted
up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are
come down to us in the likeness of men.
Acts 14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker.
Acts 14:13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their
city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have
done sacrifice with the people.
Acts 14:14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of,
they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are
men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should
turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven,
and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Acts 14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their
own ways.
Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in
that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful
seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Acts 14:18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the
people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and
Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew
him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
Acts 14:20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he
rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with
Barnabas to Derbe.
Acts 14:21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and
had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium,
and Antioch,
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting
them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much
tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Acts 14:23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church,
and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
whom they believed.
Acts 14:24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came
to Pamphylia.
Acts 14:25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went
down into Attalia:
Acts 14:26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church
together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how
he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Acts 14:28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judæa taught the
brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of
Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension
and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas,
and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the
apostles and elders about this question.
Acts 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they
passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of
the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Acts 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received
of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared
all things that God had done with them.
Acts 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees
which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them,
and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Acts 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together for to
consider of this matter.
Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up,
and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good
while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth
should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness,
giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying
their hearts by faith.
Acts 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the
neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able
to bear?
Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Acts 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience
to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had
wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered,
saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is
written,
Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the
tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again
the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and
all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who
doeth all these things.
Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of
the world.
Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from
pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things
strangled, and from blood.
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that
preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Acts 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole
church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with
Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas,
chief men among the brethren:
Acts 15:23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The
apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren
which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out
from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls,
saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave
no such commandment:
Acts 15:25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one
accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and
Paul,
Acts 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also
tell you the same things by mouth.
Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay
upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from
blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which
if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Acts 15:30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and
when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the
epistle:
Acts 15:31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the
consolation.
Acts 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves,
exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Acts 15:33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let
go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
Acts 15:34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
Acts 15:35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching
and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Acts 15:36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go
again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached
the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
Acts 15:37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose
surname was Mark.
Acts 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who
departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the
work.
Acts 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they
departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark,
and sailed unto Cyprus;
Acts 15:40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended
by the brethren unto the grace of God.
Acts 15:41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the
churches.
Acts 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain
disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman,
which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
Acts 16:2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at
Lystra and Iconium.
Acts 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and
circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters:
for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Acts 16:4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them
the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and
elders which were at Jerusalem.
Acts 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and
increased in number daily.
Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region
of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the
word in Asia,
Acts 16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into
Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Acts 16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Acts 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood
a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into
Macedonia, and help us.
Acts 16:10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we
endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the
Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Acts 16:11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight
course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
Acts 16:12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of
that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city
abiding certain days.
Acts 16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river
side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake
unto the women which resorted thither.
Acts 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of
the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart
the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were
spoken of Paul.
Acts 16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she
besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the
Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain
damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought
her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These
men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the
way of salvation.
Acts 16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved,
turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus
Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Acts 16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains
was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the
marketplace unto the rulers,
Acts 16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men,
being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Acts 16:21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to
receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Acts 16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and
the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat
them.
Acts 16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they
cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Acts 16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into
the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises
unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Acts 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the
doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Acts 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep,
and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would
have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Acts 16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no
harm: for we are all here.
Acts 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came
trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to
be saved?
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to
all that were in his house.
Acts 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed
their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Acts 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set
meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
house.
Acts 16:35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the
serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Acts 16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul,
The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and
go in peace.
Acts 16:37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly
uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now
do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come
themselves and fetch us out.
Acts 16:38 And the serjeants told these words unto the
magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were
Romans.
Acts 16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out,
and desired them to depart out of the city.
Acts 16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the
house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they
comforted them, and departed.
Acts 17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and
Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the
Jews:
Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and
three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Acts 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have
suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom
I preach unto you, is Christ.
Acts 17:4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and
Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the
chief women not a few.
Acts 17:5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took
unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a
company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the
house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Acts 17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and
certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that
have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
Acts 17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to
the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one
Jesus.
Acts 17:8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city,
when they heard these things.
Acts 17:9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the
other, they let them go.
Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas
by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of
the Jews.
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable
women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that
the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither
also, and stirred up the people.
Acts 17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go
as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
Acts 17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens:
and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come
to him with all speed, they departed.
Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit
was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
Acts 17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews,
and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them
that met with him.
Acts 17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the
Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler
say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods:
because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
Acts 17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus,
saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest,
is?
Acts 17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears:
we would know therefore what these things mean.
Acts 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there
spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear
some new thing.)
Acts 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said,
Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too
superstitious.
Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found
an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore
ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing
that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made
with hands;
Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he
needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and
all things;
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to
dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times
before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might
feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one
of us:
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his
offspring.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought
not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or
stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent:
Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will
judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath
ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he
hath raised him from the dead.
Acts 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead,
some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
matter.
Acts 17:33 So Paul departed from among them.
Acts 17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among
the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris,
and others with them.
Acts 18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came
to Corinth;
Acts 18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus,
lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that
Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came
unto them.
Acts 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with
them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Acts 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia,
Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that
Jesus was Christ.
Acts 18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he
shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own
heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
Acts 18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s
house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined
hard to the synagogue.
Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed
on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians
hearing believed, and were baptized.
Acts 18:9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be
not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
Acts 18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to
hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
Acts 18:11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching
the word of God among them.
Acts 18:12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the
judgment seat,
Acts 18:13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God
contrary to the law.
Acts 18:14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio
said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
Acts 18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your
law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
Acts 18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
Acts 18:17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of
the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio
cared for none of those things.
Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and
then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria,
and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in
Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he
himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Acts 18:20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them,
he consented not;
Acts 18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means
keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again
unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Acts 18:22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and
saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Acts 18:23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed,
and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,
strengthening all the disciples.
Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Acts 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and
being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom
when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and
expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Acts 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the
brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when
he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
Acts 18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly,
shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,
Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and
finding certain disciples,
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since
ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard
whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said, Unto John’s baptism.
Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on
him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of
the Lord Jesus.
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy
Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.
Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the
space of three months, disputing and persuading the things
concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but
spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from
them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school
of one Tyrannus.
Acts 19:10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that
all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus,
both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Acts 19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick
handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and
the evil spirits went out of them.
Acts 19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon
them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord
Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
Acts 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and
chief of the priests, which did so.
Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know,
and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Acts 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them,
and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled
out of that house naked and wounded.
Acts 19:17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also
dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of
the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Acts 19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed
their deeds.
Acts 19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their
books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted
the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Acts 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Acts 19:21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the
spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to
Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
Acts 19:22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered
unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for
a season.
Acts 19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that
way.
Acts 19:24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which
made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the
craftsmen;
Acts 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like
occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our
wealth.
Acts 19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus,
but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and
turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are
made with hands:
Acts 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set
at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana
should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom
all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Acts 19:28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of
wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Acts 19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and
having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s
companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the
theatre.
Acts 19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people,
the disciples suffered him not.
Acts 19:31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his
friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure
himself into the theatre.
Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for
the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore
they were come together.
Acts 19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews
putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and
would have made his defence unto the people.
Acts 19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one
voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of
the Ephesians.
Acts 19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he
said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how
that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great
goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Acts 19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against,
ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Acts 19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither
robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Acts 19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are
with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and
there are deputies: let them implead one another.
Acts 19:39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters,
it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Acts 19:40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this
day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account
of this concourse.
Acts 19:41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Acts 20:1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him
the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into
Macedonia.
Acts 20:2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given
them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
Acts 20:3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid
wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to
return through Macedonia.
Acts 20:4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea;
and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of
Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Acts 20:5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
Acts 20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of
unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where
we abode seven days.
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples
came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Acts 20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where
they were gathered together.
Acts 20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named
Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long
preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third
loft, and was taken up dead.
Acts 20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him
said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
Acts 20:11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken
bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day,
so he departed.
Acts 20:12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a
little comforted.
Acts 20:13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos,
there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding
himself to go afoot.
Acts 20:14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and
came to Mitylene.
Acts 20:15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over
against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried
at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
Acts 20:16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he
would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were
possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Acts 20:17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the
elders of the church.
Acts 20:18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye
know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner
I have been with you at all seasons,
Acts 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with
many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait
of the Jews:
Acts 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto
you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from
house to house,
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
Acts 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my
life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy,
and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have
gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Acts 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure
from the blood of all men.
Acts 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the
counsel of God.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the
flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own
blood.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Acts 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking
perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Acts 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of
three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with
tears.
Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you
an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Acts 20:33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
Acts 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have
ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye
ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and
prayed with them all.
Acts 20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and
kissed him,
Acts 20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake,
that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him
unto the ship.
Acts 21:1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from
them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos,
and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Acts 21:2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went
aboard, and set forth.
Acts 21:3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the
left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there
the ship was to unlade her burden.
Acts 21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who
said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to
Jerusalem.
Acts 21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and
went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and
children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the
shore, and prayed.
Acts 21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took
ship; and they returned home again.
Acts 21:7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came
to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one
day.
Acts 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company
departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of
Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with
him.
Acts 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did
prophesy.
Acts 21:10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from
Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Acts 21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle,
and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy
Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth
this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Acts 21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of
that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break
mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die
at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,
The will of the Lord be done.
Acts 21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went
up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of
Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old
disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Acts 21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren
received us gladly.
Acts 21:18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James;
and all the elders were present.
Acts 21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly
what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and
said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews
there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Acts 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all
the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying
that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk
after the customs.
Acts 21:22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come
together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Acts 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men
which have a vow on them;
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at
charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may
know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning
thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and
keepest the law.
Acts 21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written
and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they
keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and
from strangled, and from fornication.
Acts 21:26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying
himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the
accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering
should be offered for every one of them.
Acts 21:27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews
which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up
all the people, and laid hands on him,
Acts 21:28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that
teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and
this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and
hath polluted this holy place.
Acts 21:29 (For they had seen before with him in the city
Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought
into the temple.)
Acts 21:30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran
together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and
forthwith the doors were shut.
Acts 21:31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto
the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an
uproar.
Acts 21:32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran
down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the
soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Acts 21:33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and
commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he
was, and what he had done.
Acts 21:34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the
multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the
tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Acts 21:35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he
was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Acts 21:36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying,
Away with him.
Acts 21:37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto
the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou
speak Greek?
Acts 21:38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days
madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four
thousand men that were murderers?
Acts 21:39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a
city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee,
suffer me to speak unto the people.
Acts 21:40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the
stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there
was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue,
saying,
Acts 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I
make now unto you.
Acts 22:2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue
to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
Acts 22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city
in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,
and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the
fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and
delivering into prisons both men and women.
Acts 22:5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all
the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto
the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there
bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
Acts 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was
come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from
heaven a great light round about me.
Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying
unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me,
I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Acts 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and
were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
Acts 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said
unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told
thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Acts 22:11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light,
being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into
Damascus.
Acts 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law,
having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
Acts 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother
Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and
shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou
hast seen and heard.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and
wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Acts 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to
Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
Acts 22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee
quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony
concerning me.
Acts 22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat
in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
Acts 22:20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I
also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the
raiment of them that slew him.
Acts 22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far
hence unto the Gentiles.
Acts 22:22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then
lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the
earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
Acts 22:23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and
threw dust into the air,
Acts 22:24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the
castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he
might know wherefore they cried so against him.
Acts 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man
that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Acts 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the
chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is
a Roman.
Acts 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell
me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
Acts 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum
obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
Acts 22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should
have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he
knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Acts 22:30 On the morrow, because he would have known the
certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from
his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council
to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
Acts 23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and
brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until
this day.
Acts 23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by
him to smite him on the mouth.
Acts 23:3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou
whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and
commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Acts 23:4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high
priest?
Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the
high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the
ruler of thy people.
Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were
Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council,
Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the
hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Acts 23:7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension
between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was
divided.
Acts 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection,
neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Acts 23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were
of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil
in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let
us not fight against God.
Acts 23:10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief
captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of
them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force
from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
Acts 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and
said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in
Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Acts 23:12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded
together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they
would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Acts 23:13 And they were more than forty which had made this
conspiracy.
Acts 23:14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and
said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will
eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Acts 23:15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief
captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye
would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or
ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
Acts 23:16 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in
wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Acts 23:17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and
said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a
certain thing to tell him.
Acts 23:18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain,
and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to
bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto
thee.
Acts 23:19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went
with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to
tell me?
Acts 23:20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that
thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as
though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
Acts 23:21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait
for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves
with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have
killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from
thee.
Acts 23:22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and
charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these
things to me.
Acts 23:23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make
ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen
threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of
the night;
Acts 23:24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and
bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
Acts 23:25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Acts 23:26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix
sendeth greeting.
Acts 23:27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been
killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having
understood that he was a Roman.
Acts 23:28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they
accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
Acts 23:29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their
law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of
bonds.
Acts 23:30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for
the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his
accusers also to say before thee what they had against him.
Farewell.
Acts 23:31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul,
and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Acts 23:32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him,
and returned to the castle:
Acts 23:33 Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the
epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Acts 23:34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of
what province he was. And when he understood that he was of
Cilicia;
Acts 23:35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also
come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Acts 24:1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended
with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who
informed the governor against Paul.
Acts 24:2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse
him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and
that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy
providence,
Acts 24:3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble
Felix, with all thankfulness.
Acts 24:4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto
thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few
words.
Acts 24:5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a
mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a
ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Acts 24:6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we
took, and would have judged according to our law.
Acts 24:7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with
great violence took him away out of our hands,
Acts 24:8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining
of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof
we accuse him.
Acts 24:9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things
were so.
Acts 24:10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto
him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of
many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully
answer for myself:
Acts 24:11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet
but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
Acts 24:12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with
any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues,
nor in the city:
Acts 24:13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now
accuse me.
Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which
they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing
all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also
allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the
just and unjust.
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a
conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Acts 24:17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation,
and offerings.
Acts 24:18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in
the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Acts 24:19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if
they had ought against me.
Acts 24:20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any
evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Acts 24:21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing
among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in
question by you this day.
Acts 24:22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect
knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the
chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your
matter.
Acts 24:23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let
him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his
acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
Acts 24:24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife
Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him
concerning the faith in Christ.
Acts 24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and
judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for
this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
Acts 24:26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of
Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the
oftener, and communed with him.
Acts 24:27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’
room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul
bound.
Acts 25:1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three
days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.
Acts 25:2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed
him against Paul, and besought him,
Acts 25:3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for
him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
Acts 25:4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at
Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
Acts 25:5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able,
go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness
in him.
Acts 25:6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days,
he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the
judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
Acts 25:7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from
Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints
against Paul, which they could not prove.
Acts 25:8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law
of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar,
have I offended any thing at all.
Acts 25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered
Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged
of these things before me?
Acts 25:10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where
I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou
very well knowest.
Acts 25:11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing
worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of
these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto
them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
Acts 25:12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council,
answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
Acts 25:13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came
unto Cæsarea to salute Festus.
Acts 25:14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared
Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in
bonds by Felix:
Acts 25:15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests
and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment
against him.
Acts 25:16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans
to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have
the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself
concerning the crime laid against him.
Acts 25:17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any
delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the
man to be brought forth.
Acts 25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought
none accusation of such things as I supposed:
Acts 25:19 But had certain questions against him of their own
superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed
to be alive.
Acts 25:20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I
asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of
these matters.
Acts 25:21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the
hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send
him to Cæsar.
Acts 25:22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the
man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Acts 25:23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice,
with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with
the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’
commandment Paul was brought forth.
Acts 25:24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are
here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the
multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and
also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Acts 25:25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy
of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have
determined to send him.
Acts 25:26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord.
Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially
before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might
have somewhat to write.
Acts 25:27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner,
and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak
for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for
himself:
Acts 26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall
answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things
whereof I am accused of the Jews:
Acts 26:3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all
customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I
beseech thee to hear me patiently.
Acts 26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first
among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Acts 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify,
that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a
Pharisee.
Acts 26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the
promise made of God unto our fathers:
Acts 26:7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving
God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king
Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Acts 26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you,
that God should raise the dead?
Acts 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many
things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Acts 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the
saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the
chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice
against them.
Acts 26:11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and
compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against
them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
Acts 26:12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and
commission from the chief priests,
Acts 26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from
heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me
and them which journeyed with me.
Acts 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a
voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against
the pricks.
Acts 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus
whom thou persecutest.
Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared
unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness
both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in
the which I will appear unto thee;
Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles,
unto whom now I send thee,
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they
may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which
are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision:
Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at
Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the
Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works
meet for repentance.
Acts 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and
went about to kill me.
Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto
this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other
things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should
come:
Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the
first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto
the people, and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a
loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make
thee mad.
Acts 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak
forth the words of truth and soberness.
Acts 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also
I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are
hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
Acts 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that
thou believest.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me
to be a Christian.
Acts 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but
also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether
such as I am, except these bonds.
Acts 26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the
governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
Acts 26:31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between
themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of
bonds.
Acts 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been
set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
Acts 27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into
Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one
named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
Acts 27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched,
meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a
Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Acts 27:3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius
courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his
friends to refresh himself.
Acts 27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under
Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Acts 27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and
Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Acts 27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria
sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
Acts 27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were
come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed
under Crete, over against Salmone;
Acts 27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is
called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
Acts 27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now
dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished
them,
Acts 27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage
will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and
ship, but also of our lives.
Acts 27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the
owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by
Paul.
Acts 27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in,
the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they
might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of
Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
Acts 27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that
they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close
by Crete.
Acts 27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous
wind, called Euroclydon.
Acts 27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up
into the wind, we let her drive.
Acts 27:16 And running under a certain island which is called
Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Acts 27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps,
undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the
quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
Acts 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the
next day they lightened the ship;
Acts 27:19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the
tackling of the ship.
Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared,
and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved
was then taken away.
Acts 27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst
of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not
have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Acts 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there
shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
Acts 27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God,
whose I am, and whom I serve,
Acts 27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before
Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Acts 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God,
that it shall be even as it was told me.
Acts 27:26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
Acts 27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were
driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed
that they drew near to some country;
Acts 27:28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they
had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it
fifteen fathoms.
Acts 27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks,
they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Acts 27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship,
when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as
though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
Acts 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except
these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Acts 27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and
let her fall off.
Acts 27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all
to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have
tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Acts 27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for
your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any
of you.
Acts 27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave
thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it,
he began to eat.
Acts 27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took
some meat.
Acts 27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore
and sixteen souls.
Acts 27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the
ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Acts 27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they
discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were
minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Acts 27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed
themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised
up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Acts 27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran
the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained
unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of
the waves.
Acts 27:42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners,
lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Acts 27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from
their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should
cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
Acts 27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces
of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to
land.
Acts 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the
island was called Melita.
Acts 28:2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness:
for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the
present rain, and because of the cold.
Acts 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid
them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened
on his hand.
Acts 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on
his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a
murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance
suffereth not to live.
Acts 28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no
harm.
Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or
fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great
while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and
said that he was a god.
Acts 28:7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man
of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged
us three days courteously.
Acts 28:8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick
of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and
prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
Acts 28:9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases
in the island, came, and were healed:
Acts 28:10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we
departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
Acts 28:11 And after three months we departed in a ship of
Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor
and Pollux.
Acts 28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
Acts 28:13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to
Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the
next day to Puteoli:
Acts 28:14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with
them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
Acts 28:15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they
came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom
when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
Acts 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the
prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to
dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
Acts 28:17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called
the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together,
he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed
nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I
delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Acts 28:18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go,
because there was no cause of death in me.
Acts 28:19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained
to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
Acts 28:20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see
you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I
am bound with this chain.
Acts 28:21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out
of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came
shewed or spake any harm of thee.
Acts 28:22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for
as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken
against.
Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many
to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the
kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the
law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
Acts 28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and
some believed not.
Acts 28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they
departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy
Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
Acts 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall
hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
perceive:
Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest
they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should
heal them.
Acts 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of
God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Acts 28:29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed,
and had great reasoning among themselves.
Acts 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house,
and received all that came in unto him,
Acts 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things
which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man
forbidding him.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE ROMANS
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an
apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Romans 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the
holy scriptures,)
Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was
made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according
to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Romans 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for
obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Romans 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Romans 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be
saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all,
that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Romans 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in
the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you
always in my prayers;
Romans 1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might
have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
Romans 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some
spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Romans 1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by
the mutual faith both of you and me.
Romans 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that
oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)
that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other
Gentiles.
Romans 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians;
both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Romans 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the
gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it
is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from
faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in
them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of
the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him
not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an
image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through
the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is
blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which
commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but
have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou
art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou
condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according
to truth against them which commit such things.
Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which
do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the
judgment of God?
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of
God leadeth thee to repentance?
Romans 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest
up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of
the righteous judgment of God;
Romans 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Romans 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek
for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
Romans 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the
truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Romans 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that
doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that
worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also
perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be
judged by the law;
Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God,
but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by
nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law,
are a law unto themselves:
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their
hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts
the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by
Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Romans 2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law,
and makest thy boast of God,
Romans 2:18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that
are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
Romans 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the
blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
Romans 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes,
which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Romans 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou
not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou
steal?
Romans 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery,
dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou
commit sacrilege?
Romans 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through
breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
Romans 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles
through you, as it is written.
Romans 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the
law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
uncircumcision.
Romans 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness
of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for
circumcision?
Romans 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it
fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision
dost transgress the law?
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither
is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the
letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is
there of circumcision?
Romans 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were
committed the oracles of God.
Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief
make the faith of God without effect?
Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;
as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings,
and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Romans 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of
God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
(I speak as a man)
Romans 3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my
lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as
some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come?
whose damnation is just.
Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for
we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all
under sin;
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one:
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that
seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together
become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues
they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Romans 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Romans 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Romans 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Romans 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Romans 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it
saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be
stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh
be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of
Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is
no difference:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission
of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in
Jesus.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the
Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God
forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as
pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof
to glory; but not before God.
Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and
it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of
grace, but of debt.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the
man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Romans 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered.
Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute
sin.
Romans 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision
only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was
reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Romans 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision,
or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of
the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that
believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might
be imputed unto them also:
Romans 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of
the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that
faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the
world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but
through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is
made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,
there is no transgression.
Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that
only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith
of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many
nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth
the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they
were.
Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might
become the father of many nations; according to that which was
spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Romans 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own
body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet
the deadness of Sara’s womb:
Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised,
he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was
imputed to him;
Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we
believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto
us.
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we
shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to
God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall
be saved by his life.
Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
have sinned:
Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is
not imputed when there is no law.
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For
if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of
God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ,
hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift:
for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is
of many offences unto justification.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much
more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon
all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the
free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might
abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might
grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that
grace may abound?
Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live
any longer therein?
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of
the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin.
Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him:
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no
more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in
that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed
unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that
ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those
that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are
not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the
law, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants
to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto
death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was
delivered you.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants
of righteousness.
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the
infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members
servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now
yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free
from righteousness.
Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are
now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants
to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting
life.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know
the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he
liveth?
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law
to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead,
she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to
another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband
be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress,
though she be married to another man.
Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the
law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another,
even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring
forth fruit unto God.
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins,
which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth
fruit unto death.
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead
wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit,
and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid.
Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known
lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in
me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Romans 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the
commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Romans 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I
found to be unto death.
Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived
me, and by it slew me.
Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy,
and just, and good.
Romans 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God
forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by
that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become
exceeding sinful.
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am
carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would,
that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto
the law that it is good.
Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth
no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform
that which is good I find not.
Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which
I would not, that I do.
Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do
it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is
present with me.
Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against
the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of
sin which is in my members.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then
with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh
the law of sin.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak
through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of
the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
Spirit.
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it
is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so
be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of
sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall
also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
you.
Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh,
to live after the flesh.
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if
ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again
to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we
cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God:
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we
may be also glorified together.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in us.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth
for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not
willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in
hope,
Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered
from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
children of God.
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and
travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the
firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our
body.
Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not
hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with
patience wait for it.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for
we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit
itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.
Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the
mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to
be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also
called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he
justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for
us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up
for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all
things?
Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect?
It is God that justifieth.
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,
who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the
day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come,
Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience
also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Romans 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my
heart.
Romans 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption,
and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and
the service of God, and the promises;
Romans 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the
flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Romans 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they
all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh,
these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise
are counted for the seed.
Romans 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I
come, and Sara shall have a son.
Romans 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived
by one, even by our father Isaac;
Romans 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having
done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to
election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the
younger.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I
hated.
Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with
God? God forbid.
Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I
will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion.
Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that
runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this
same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy,
and whom he will he hardeneth.
Romans 9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find
fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against
God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast
thou made me thus?
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same
lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make
his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of
wrath fitted to destruction:
Romans 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory
on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Romans 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only,
but also of the Gentiles?
Romans 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people,
which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Romans 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it
was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be
called the children of the living God.
Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the
number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a
remnant shall be saved:
Romans 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in
righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the
earth.
Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth
had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
Gomorrha.
Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which
followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith.
Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of
righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Romans 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as
it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that
stumblingstone;
Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a
stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved.
Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge.
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and
going about to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believeth.
Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the
law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on
this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
(that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Romans 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to
bring up Christ again from the dead.)
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy
mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we
preach;
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon
him.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it
is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God.
Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their
sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of
the world.
Romans 10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I
will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a
foolish nation I will anger you.
Romans 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of
them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked
not after me.
Romans 10:21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched
forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.
For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe
of Benjamin.
Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh
intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Romans 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down
thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have
reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee
to the image of Baal.
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a
remnant according to the election of grace.
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works:
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is
it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he
seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were
blinded
Romans 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the
spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that
they should not hear;) unto this day.
Romans 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and
a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Romans 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
and bow down their back alway.
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?
God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto
the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world,
and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much
more their fulness?
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the
apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which
are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of
the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the
dead?
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy:
and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou,
being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast,
thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off,
that I might be graffed in.
Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and
thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed
lest he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on
them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou
continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief,
shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Romans 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is
wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good
olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural
branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant
of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in.
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take
away their sins.
Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your
sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the
fathers’ sakes.
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without
repentance.
Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet
have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that
through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he
might have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and
knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways
past finding out!
Romans 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath
been his counsellor?
Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be
recompensed unto him again?
Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all
things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every
man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he
ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt
to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all
members have not the same office:
Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every
one members one of another.
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace
that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion of faith;
Romans 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he
that teacheth, on teaching;
Romans 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth,
let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he
that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly
love; in honour preferring one another;
Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving
the Lord;
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing
instant in prayer;
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them
that weep.
Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high
things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your
own conceits.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather
give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I
will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of
fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For
there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of
God.
Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves
damnation.
Romans 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if
thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the
sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Romans 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for
wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Romans 13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are
God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom
tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour
to whom honour.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he
that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt
not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is
briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love
is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time
to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when
we believed.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light.
Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting
and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
and envying.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to
doubtful disputations.
Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another,
who is weak, eateth herbs.
Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not;
and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God
hath received him.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to
his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up:
for God is able to make him stand.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another
esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his
own mind.
Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord;
and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard
it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks;
and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God
thanks.
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to
himself.
Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and
whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore,
or die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and
revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou
set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every
knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself
to God.
Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but
judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion
to fall in his brother’s way.
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that
there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any
thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now
walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for
whom Christ died.
Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is
acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make
for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things
indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with
offence.
Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine,
nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is
made weak.
Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy
is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he
eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities
of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good
to edification.
Romans 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is
written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to
be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also
received us to the glory of God.
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the
circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made
unto the fathers:
Romans 15:9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy;
as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the
Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
Romans 15:10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his
people.
Romans 15:11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud
him, all ye people.
Romans 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of
Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him
shall the Gentiles trust.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the
Holy Ghost.
Romans 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren,
that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
also to admonish one another.
Romans 15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more
boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of
the grace that is given to me of God,
Romans 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the
Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of
the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy
Ghost.
Romans 15:17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus
Christ in those things which pertain to God.
Romans 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things
which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles
obedient, by word and deed,
Romans 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the
Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto
Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Romans 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not
where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s
foundation:
Romans 15:21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of,
they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
Romans 15:22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from
coming to you.
Romans 15:23 But now having no more place in these parts, and
having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
Romans 15:24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come
to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on
my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your
company.
Romans 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the
saints.
Romans 15:26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to
make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at
Jerusalem.
Romans 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they
are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their
spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in
carnal things.
Romans 15:28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed
to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Romans 15:29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall
come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
Romans 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus
Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive
together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Romans 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe
in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be
accepted of the saints;
Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God,
and may with you be refreshed.
Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Romans 16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a
servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
Romans 16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints,
and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of
you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
Romans 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Romans 16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto
whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the
Gentiles.
Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house.
Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia
unto Christ.
Romans 16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
Romans 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were
in Christ before me.
Romans 16:8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
Romans 16:9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my
beloved.
Romans 16:10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which
are of Aristobulus’ household.
Romans 16:11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the
household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
Romans 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.
Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
Romans 16:13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and
mine.
Romans 16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes,
and the brethren which are with them.
Romans 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister,
and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
Romans 16:16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of
Christ salute you.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them.
Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus
Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am
glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto
that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your
feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Amen.
Romans 16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and
Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
Romans 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the
Lord.
Romans 16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth
you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus
a brother.
Romans 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according
to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world
began,
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of
the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for
ever. Amen.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
1Corinthians 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ
through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to
them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ
our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the
grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
1Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in
all utterance, and in all knowledge;
1Corinthians 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in
you:
1Corinthians 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye
may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Corinthians 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my
brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are
contentions among you.
1Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I
am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you?
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1Corinthians 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but
Crispus and Gaius;
1Corinthians 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine
own name.
1Corinthians 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas:
besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach
the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ
should be made of none effect.
1Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of
God.
1Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of
the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the
prudent.
1Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is
the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom
of this world?
1Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe.
1Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek
after wisdom:
1Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and
Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than
men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not
many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
are called:
1Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Corinthians 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which
are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to
bring to nought things that are:
1Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is
made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption:
1Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not
with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the
testimony of God.
1Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you,
save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1Corinthians 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and
in much trembling.
1Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit
and of power:
1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of
men, but in the power of God.
1Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are
perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of
this world, that come to nought:
1Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even
the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our
glory:
1Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for
had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of
glory.
1Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God.
1Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save
the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God.
1Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words
which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of
the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can
he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet
he himself is judged of no man.
1Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he
may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for
hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among
you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and
walk as men?
1Corinthians 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I
am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but
ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
1Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the
increase.
1Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing,
neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1Corinthians 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are
one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his
own labour.
1Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are
God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
1Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and
another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he
buildeth thereupon.
1Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is
laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Corinthians 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the
day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and
the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
1Corinthians 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Corinthians 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall
suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall
God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Corinthians 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he
may be wise.
1Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with
God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness.
1Corinthians 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the
wise, that they are vain.
1Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all
things are yours;
1Corinthians 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the
world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come;
all are yours;
1Corinthians 3:23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
1Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers
of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man
be found faithful.
1Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I
should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not
mine own self.
1Corinthians 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby
justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
1Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until
the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of
darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and
then shall every man have praise of God.
1Corinthians 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure
transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might
learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that
no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
1Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and
what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst
receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
1Corinthians 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned
as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also
might reign with you.
1Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the
apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a
spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
1Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise
in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but
we are despised.
1Corinthians 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and
thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain
dwellingplace;
1Corinthians 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being
reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
1Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the
filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto
this day.
1Corinthians 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my
beloved sons I warn you.
1Corinthians 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in
Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have
begotten you through the gospel.
1Corinthians 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1Corinthians 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus,
who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring
you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach
every where in every church.
1Corinthians 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not
come to you.
1Corinthians 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord
will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up,
but the power.
1Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in
power.
1Corinthians 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod,
or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
1Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication
among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among
the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
1Corinthians 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from
among you.
1Corinthians 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in
spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning
him that hath so done this deed,
1Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are
gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
1Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the
destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day
of the Lord Jesus.
1Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a
little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may
be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us:
1Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company
with fornicators:
1Corinthians 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this
world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep
company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or
covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that
are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore
put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1Corinthians 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another,
go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to
judge the smallest matters?
1Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much
more things that pertain to this life?
1Corinthians 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to
this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1Corinthians 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is
not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge
between his brethren?
1Corinthians 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that
before the unbelievers.
1Corinthians 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you,
because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take
wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1Corinthians 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your
brethren.
1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind,
1Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things
are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be
brought under the power of any.
1Corinthians 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats:
but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for
fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1Corinthians 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will
also raise up us by his own power.
1Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of
Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the
members of an harlot? God forbid.
1Corinthians 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an
harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one
spirit.
1Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is
without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth
against his own body.
1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye
are not your own?
1Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto
me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man
have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1Corinthians 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due
benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1Corinthians 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the
husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own
body, but the wife.
1Corinthians 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with
consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and
prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your
incontinency.
1Corinthians 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of
commandment.
1Corinthians 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself.
But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner,
and another after that.
1Corinthians 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It
is good for them if they abide even as I.
1Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for
it is better to marry than to burn.
1Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but
the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
1Corinthians 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried,
or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away
his wife.
1Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any
brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to
dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1Corinthians 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that
believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not
leave him.
1Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the
wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else
were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A
brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God
hath called us to peace.
1Corinthians 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou
shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou
shalt save thy wife?
1Corinthians 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the
Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in
all churches.
1Corinthians 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not
become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not
be circumcised.
1Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is
nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
1Corinthians 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein
he was called.
1Corinthians 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for
it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
1Corinthians 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a
servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called,
being free, is Christ’s servant.
1Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the
servants of men.
1Corinthians 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called,
therein abide with God.
1Corinthians 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of
the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy
of the Lord to be faithful.
1Corinthians 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the
present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
1Corinthians 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be
loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
1Corinthians 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and
if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall
have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
1Corinthians 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it
remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had
none;
1Corinthians 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and
they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy,
as though they possessed not;
1Corinthians 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it:
for the fashion of this world passeth away.
1Corinthians 7:32 But I would have you without carefulness. He
that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord,
how he may please the Lord:
1Corinthians 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things
that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
1Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a
virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord,
that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is
married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her
husband.
1Corinthians 7:35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I
may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that
ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
1Corinthians 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and
need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them
marry.
1Corinthians 7:37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his
heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and
hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth
well.
1Corinthians 7:38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth
well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
1Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her
husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to
be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1Corinthians 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my
judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
1Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we
know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity
edifieth.
1Corinthians 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing,
he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Corinthians 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of
him.
1Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those
things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an
idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but
one.
1Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether
in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of
whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom are all things, and we by him.
1Corinthians 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge:
for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a
thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is
defiled.
1Corinthians 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither,
if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the
worse.
1Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of
yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1Corinthians 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit
at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him
which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered
to idols;
1Corinthians 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother
perish, for whom Christ died?
1Corinthians 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and
wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
1Corinthians 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I
will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother
to offend.
1Corinthians 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not
seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
1Corinthians 9:2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless
I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
1Corinthians 9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
1Corinthians 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
1Corinthians 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife,
as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and
Cephas?
1Corinthians 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to
forbear working?
1Corinthians 9:7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges?
who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or
who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
1Corinthians 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law
the same also?
1Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt
not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth
God take care for oxen?
1Corinthians 9:10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our
sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow
in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of
his hope.
1Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it
a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
1Corinthians 9:12 If others be partakers of this power over you,
are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but
suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
1Corinthians 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about
holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait
at the altar are partakers with the altar?
1Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which
preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1Corinthians 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither
have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me:
for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my
glorying void.
1Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing
to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me,
if I preach not the gospel!
1Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a
reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is
committed unto me.
1Corinthians 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I
preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge,
that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
1Corinthians 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I
made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1Corinthians 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I
might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the
law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law,
(being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that
I might gain them that are without law.
1Corinthians 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain
the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all
means save some.
1Corinthians 9:23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I
might be partaker thereof with you.
1Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run
all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible
crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight
I, not as one that beateth the air:
1Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into
subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to
others, I myself should be a castaway.
1Corinthians 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should
be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and
all passed through the sea;
1Corinthians 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud
and in the sea;
1Corinthians 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for
they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that
Rock was Christ.
1Corinthians 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased:
for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the
intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1Corinthians 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them;
as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose
up to play.
1Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of
them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them
also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
1Corinthians 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for
ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the
ends of the world are come.
1Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall.
1Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as
is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to
be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1Corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from
idolatry.
1Corinthians 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
1Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not
the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is
it not the communion of the body of Christ?
1Corinthians 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body:
for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1Corinthians 10:18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they
which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
1Corinthians 10:19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or
that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
1Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would
not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
1Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the
cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of
the table of devils.
1Corinthians 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we
stronger than he?
1Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things
are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things
edify not.
1Corinthians 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man
another’s wealth.
1Corinthians 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat,
asking no question for conscience sake:
1Corinthians 10:26 For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness
thereof.
1Corinthians 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a
feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you,
eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
1Corinthians 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in
sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for
conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness
thereof:
1Corinthians 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the
other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
1Corinthians 10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil
spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or
whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
1Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to
the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
1Corinthians 10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not
seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be
saved.
1Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of
Christ.
1Corinthians 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me
in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to
you.
1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of
every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the
head of Christ is God.
1Corinthians 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his
head covered, dishonoureth his head.
1Corinthians 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with
her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one
as if she were shaven.
1Corinthians 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be
shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let
her be covered.
1Corinthians 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is
the glory of the man.
1Corinthians 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman
of the man.
1Corinthians 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but
the woman for the man.
1Corinthians 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on
her head because of the angels.
1Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
1Corinthians 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the
man also by the woman; but all things of God.
1Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman
pray unto God uncovered?
1Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if
a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to
her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have
no such custom, neither the churches of God.
1Corinthians 11:17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise
you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the
worse.
1Corinthians 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the
church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly
believe it.
1Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that
they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
1Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place,
this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
1Corinthians 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his
own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1Corinthians 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink
in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not?
What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you
not.
1Corinthians 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also
I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which
he was betrayed took bread:
1Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and
said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me.
1Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup,
when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my
blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink
this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
1Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and
drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the
body and blood of the Lord.
1Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him
eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1Corinthians 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the
Lord’s body.
1Corinthians 11:30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep.
1Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not
be judged.
1Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the
Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1Corinthians 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together
to eat, tarry one for another.
1Corinthians 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home;
that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I
set in order when I come.
1Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I
would not have you ignorant.
1Corinthians 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto
these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man
speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no
man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
1Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same
Spirit.
1Corinthians 12:5 And there are differences of administrations,
but the same Lord.
1Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it
is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to
every man to profit withal.
1Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of
wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Corinthians 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame
Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so
also is Christ.
1Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one
body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Corinthians 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
1Corinthians 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the
hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Corinthians 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the
eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Corinthians 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the
hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
1Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of
them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1Corinthians 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the
body?
1Corinthians 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one
body.
1Corinthians 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no
need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of
you.
1Corinthians 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which
seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
1Corinthians 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think
to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
1Corinthians 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath
tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to
that part which lacked:
1Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but
that the members should have the same care one for another.
1Corinthians 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members
suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice
with it.
1Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
particular.
1Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first
apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities
of tongues.
1Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all
teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak
with tongues? do all interpret?
1Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet
shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a
tinkling cymbal.
1Corinthians 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I
am nothing.
1Corinthians 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity
envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Corinthians 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth;
1Corinthians 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth
all things, endureth all things.
1Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be
prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall
cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away.
1Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a
man, I put away childish things.
1Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known.
1Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity.
1Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual
gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue
speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1Corinthians 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to
edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth
himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but
rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than
he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the
church may receive edifying.
1Corinthians 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with
tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you
either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by
doctrine?
1Corinthians 14:7 And even things without life giving sound,
whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the
sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who
shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue
words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken?
for ye shall speak into the air.
1Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices
in the world, and none of them is without signification.
1Corinthians 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the
voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that
speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
1Corinthians 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of
spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the
church.
1Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown
tongue pray that he may interpret.
1Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit,
and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the
spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1Corinthians 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how
shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy
giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
1Corinthians 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the
other is not edified.
1Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than
ye all:
1Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words
with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also,
than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
1Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding:
howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
1Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other
tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for
all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
1Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them
that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying
serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
1Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together
into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in
those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that
ye are mad?
1Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is
judged of all:
1Corinthians 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made
manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and
report that God is in you of a truth.
1Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come
together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a
tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things
be done unto edifying.
1Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it
be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let
one interpret.
1Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep
silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let
the other judge.
1Corinthians 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that
sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
1Corinthians 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all
may learn, and all may be comforted.
1Corinthians 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to
the prophets.
1Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of
peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded
to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask
their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in
the church.
1Corinthians 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or
came it unto you only?
1Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto
you are the commandments of the Lord.
1Corinthians 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be
ignorant.
1Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and
forbid not to speak with tongues.
1Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
1Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the
gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand;
1Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory
what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which
I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to
the scriptures;
1Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again
the third day according to the scriptures:
1Corinthians 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the
twelve:
1Corinthians 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred
brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this
present, but some are fallen asleep.
1Corinthians 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all
the apostles.
1Corinthians 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of
one born out of due time.
1Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not
meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of
God.
1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his
grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured
more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God
which was with me.
1Corinthians 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we
preach, and so ye believed.
1Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the
dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the
dead?
1Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead,
then is Christ not risen:
1Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our
preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
1Corinthians 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God;
because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he
raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ
raised:
1Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is
vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Corinthians 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in
Christ are perished.
1Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we
are of all men most miserable.
1Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead.
1Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
all be made alive.
1Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the
firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
1Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have
delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall
have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies
under his feet.
1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is
death.
1Corinthians 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But
when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he
is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all
things under him, that God may be all in all.
1Corinthians 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for
the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized
for the dead?
1Corinthians 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
1Corinthians 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in
Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
1Corinthians 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with
beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not?
let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
1Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt
good manners.
1Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some
have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
1Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised
up? and with what body do they come?
1Corinthians 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die:
1Corinthians 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not
that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat,
or of some other grain:
1Corinthians 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased
him, and to every seed his own body.
1Corinthians 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is
one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of
fishes, and another of birds.
1Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies
terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory
of the terrestrial is another.
1Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another
glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star
differeth from another star in glory.
1Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is
sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body.
1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was
made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Corinthians 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the
second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Corinthians 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are
earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly.
1Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
1Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
1Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is
thy victory?
1Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of
sin is the law.
1Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as
ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1Corinthians 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as
I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
1Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of
you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be
no gatherings when I come.
1Corinthians 16:3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by
your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto
Jerusalem.
1Corinthians 16:4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go
with me.
1Corinthians 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass
through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
1Corinthians 16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter
with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
1Corinthians 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I
trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
1Corinthians 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
1Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto
me, and there are many adversaries.
1Corinthians 16:10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with
you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also
do.
1Corinthians 16:11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct
him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him
with the brethren.
1Corinthians 16:12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly
desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was
not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall
have convenient time.
1Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you
like men, be strong.
1Corinthians 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.
1Corinthians 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of
Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they
have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
1Corinthians 16:16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to
every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
1Corinthians 16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and
Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part
they have supplied.
1Corinthians 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours:
therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
1Corinthians 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in
their house.
1Corinthians 16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one
another with an holy kiss.
1Corinthians 16:21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
1Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let
him be Anathema Maranatha.
1Corinthians 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1Corinthians 16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
2Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of
God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at
Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2Corinthians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we
may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the
comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so
our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be
comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
2Corinthians 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as
ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
consolation.
2Corinthians 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of
our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of
measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
2Corinthians 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves,
that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth
the dead:
2Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth
deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
2Corinthians 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that
for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks
may be given by many on our behalf.
2Corinthians 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our
conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with
fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our
conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
2Corinthians 1:13 For we write none other things unto you, than
what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even
to the end;
2Corinthians 1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we
are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the
Lord Jesus.
2Corinthians 1:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto
you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
2Corinthians 1:16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come
again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my
way toward Judaea.
2Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use
lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to
the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
2Corinthians 1:18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not
yea and nay.
2Corinthians 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was
preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus,
was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
2Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and
in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
2Corinthians 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ,
and hath anointed us, is God;
2Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest
of the Spirit in our hearts.
2Corinthians 1:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul,
that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
2Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith,
but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
2Corinthians 2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would
not come again to you in heaviness.
2Corinthians 2:2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that
maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
2Corinthians 2:3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I
came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice;
having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2Corinthians 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I
wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but
that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
2Corinthians 2:5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved
me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
2Corinthians 2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment,
which was inflicted of many.
2Corinthians 2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive
him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed
up with overmuch sorrow.
2Corinthians 2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm
your love toward him.
2Corinthians 2:9 For to this end also did I write, that I might
know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
2Corinthians 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also:
for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes
forgave I it in the person of Christ;
2Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we
are not ignorant of his devices.
2Corinthians 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach
Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
2Corinthians 2:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not
Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence
into Macedonia.
2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us
to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his
knowledge by us in every place.
2Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in
them that are saved, and in them that perish:
2Corinthians 2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto
death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is
sufficient for these things?
2Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word
of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God
speak we in Christ.
2Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need
we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of
commendation from you?
2Corinthians 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known
and read of all men:
2Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the
epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in
fleshy tables of the heart.
2Corinthians 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to
God-ward:
2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think
any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
2Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new
testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter
killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and
engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel
could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his
countenance; which glory was to be done away:
2Corinthians 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be
rather glorious?
2Corinthians 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory,
much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2Corinthians 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no
glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2Corinthians 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious,
much more that which remaineth is glorious.
2Corinthians 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
plainness of speech:
2Corinthians 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his
face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the
end of that which is abolished:
2Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old
testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Corinthians 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the
vail is upon their heart.
2Corinthians 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the
vail shall be taken away.
2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a
glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we
have received mercy, we faint not;
2Corinthians 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of
God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending
ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that
are lost:
2Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2Corinthians 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the
Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
2Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2Corinthians 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed;
2Corinthians 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of
the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest
in our body.
2Corinthians 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death
for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our mortal flesh.
2Corinthians 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
2Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as
it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
believe, and therefore speak;
2Corinthians 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus
shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
2Corinthians 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the
abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to
the glory of God.
2Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
2Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory;
2Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Corinthians 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be
clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2Corinthians 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found
naked.
2Corinthians 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan,
being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed
upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
2Corinthians 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame
thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the
Spirit.
2Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be
absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2Corinthians 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or
absent, we may be accepted of him.
2Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat
of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we
persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also
are made manifest in your consciences.
2Corinthians 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but
give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have
somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in
heart.
2Corinthians 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to
God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
2Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because
we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which
died for them, and rose again.
2Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the
flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now
henceforth know we him no more.
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new.
2Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled
us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry
of reconciliation;
2Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and
hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead,
be ye reconciled to God.
2Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech
you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time
accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee:
behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.)
2Corinthians 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry
be not blamed:
2Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the
ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in
necessities, in distresses,
2Corinthians 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in
labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2Corinthians 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by
kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
2Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the
armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2Corinthians 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good
report: as deceivers, and yet true;
2Corinthians 6:9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and,
behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
2Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet
making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all
things.
2Corinthians 6:11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you,
our heart is enlarged.
2Corinthians 6:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are
straitened in your own bowels.
2Corinthians 6:13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as
unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
2Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or
what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with
idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
2Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I
will receive you,
2Corinthians 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2Corinthians 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have
corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
2Corinthians 7:3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said
before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
2Corinthians 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great
is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding
joyful in all our tribulation.
2Corinthians 7:5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh
had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were
fightings, within were fears.
2Corinthians 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are
cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
2Corinthians 7:7 And not by his coming only, but by the
consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us
your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me;
so that I rejoiced the more.
2Corinthians 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do
not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same
epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
2Corinthians 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but
that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a
godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
2Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation
not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2Corinthians 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed
after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what
clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear,
yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In
all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
2Corinthians 7:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not
for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that
suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God
might appear unto you.
2Corinthians 7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort:
yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus,
because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
2Corinthians 7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I
am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even
so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
2Corinthians 7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward
you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear
and trembling ye received him.
2Corinthians 7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in
you in all things.
2Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace
of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2Corinthians 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the
abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the
riches of their liberality.
2Corinthians 8:3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and
beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
2Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would
receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the
ministering to the saints.
2Corinthians 8:5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first
gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
2Corinthians 8:6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had
begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
2Corinthians 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith,
and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your
love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
2Corinthians 8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of
the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your
love.
2Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that
ye through his poverty might be rich.
2Corinthians 8:10 And herein I give my advice: for this is
expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also
to be forward a year ago.
2Corinthians 8:11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as
there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also
out of that which ye have.
2Corinthians 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is
accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that
he hath not.
2Corinthians 8:13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye
burdened:
2Corinthians 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this time your
abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance
also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
2Corinthians 8:15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had
nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
2Corinthians 8:16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest
care into the heart of Titus for you.
2Corinthians 8:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but
being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
2Corinthians 8:18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose
praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
2Corinthians 8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of
the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is
administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration
of your ready mind:
2Corinthians 8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in
this abundance which is administered by us:
2Corinthians 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the
sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
2Corinthians 8:22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we
have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more
diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
2Corinthians 8:23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my
partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be
enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the
glory of Christ.
2Corinthians 8:24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the
churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your
behalf.
2Corinthians 9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it
is superfluous for me to write to you:
2Corinthians 9:2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for
which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a
year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
2Corinthians 9:3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting
of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may
be ready:
2Corinthians 9:4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and
find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in
this same confident boasting.
2Corinthians 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the
brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up
beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the
same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of
covetousness.
2Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall
reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap
also bountifully.
2Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,
so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
cheerful giver.
2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward
you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work:
2Corinthians 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he
hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
2Corinthians 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both
minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and
increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
2Corinthians 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all
bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
2Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of this service not only
supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many
thanksgivings unto God;
2Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration
they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of
Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all
men;
2Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after
you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2Corinthians 10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness
and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but
being absent am bold toward you:
2Corinthians 10:2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I
am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold
against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the
flesh.
2Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
after the flesh:
2Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Corinthians 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all
disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
2Corinthians 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward
appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let
him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so
are we Christ’s.
2Corinthians 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our
authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not
for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
2Corinthians 10:9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
letters.
2Corinthians 10:10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and
powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech
contemptible.
2Corinthians 10:11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we
are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in
deed when we are present.
2Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number,
or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among
themselves, are not wise.
2Corinthians 10:13 But we will not boast of things without our
measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath
distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
2Corinthians 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our
measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far
as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
2Corinthians 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure,
that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith
is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our
rule abundantly,
2Corinthians 10:16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you,
and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our
hand.
2Corinthians 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the
Lord.
2Corinthians 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved,
but whom the Lord commendeth.
2Corinthians 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in
my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy:
for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as
a chaste virgin to Christ.
2Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus,
whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which
ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not
accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2Corinthians 11:5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very
chiefest apostles.
2Corinthians 11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in
knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in
all things.
2Corinthians 11:7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself
that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the
gospel of God freely?
2Corinthians 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them,
to do you service.
2Corinthians 11:9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I
was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the
brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I
have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I
keep myself.
2Corinthians 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall
stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
2Corinthians 11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
2Corinthians 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut
off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they
glory, they may be found even as we.
2Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.
2Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end
shall be according to their works.
2Corinthians 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if
otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a
little.
2Corinthians 11:17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the
Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
2Corinthians 11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will
glory also.
2Corinthians 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye
yourselves are wise.
2Corinthians 11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage,
if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself,
if a man smite you on the face.
2Corinthians 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we
had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak
foolishly,) I am bold also.
2Corinthians 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites?
so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
2Corinthians 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a
fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above
measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
2Corinthians 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes
save one.
2Corinthians 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I
stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been
in the deep;
2Corinthians 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in
perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by
the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness,
in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
2Corinthians 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings
often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and
nakedness.
2Corinthians 11:28 Beside those things that are without, that
which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
2Corinthians 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is
offended, and I burn not?
2Corinthians 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the
things which concern mine infirmities.
2Corinthians 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
2Corinthians 11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king
kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to
apprehend me:
2Corinthians 11:33 And through a window in a basket was I let down
by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2Corinthians 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I
will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I
cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third
heaven.
2Corinthians 12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or
out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2Corinthians 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and
heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to
utter.
2Corinthians 12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I
will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
2Corinthians 12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not
be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any
man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that
he heareth of me.
2Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure
through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a
thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I
should be exalted above measure.
2Corinthians 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that
it might depart from me.
2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for
thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me.
2Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for
Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2Corinthians 12:11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have
compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in
nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be
nothing.
2Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought
among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty
deeds.
2Corinthians 12:13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to
other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to
you? forgive me this wrong.
2Corinthians 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to
you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours,
but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but
the parents for the children.
2Corinthians 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for
you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
2Corinthians 12:16 But be it so, I did not burden you:
nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
2Corinthians 12:17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I
sent unto you?
2Corinthians 12:18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother.
Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit?
walked we not in the same steps?
2Corinthians 12:19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto
you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly
beloved, for your edifying.
2Corinthians 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find
you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye
would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes,
backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
2Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble
me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned
already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication
and lasciviousness which they have committed.
2Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In
the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be
established.
2Corinthians 13:2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I
were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to
them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I
come again, I will not spare:
2Corinthians 13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me,
which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2Corinthians 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness,
yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him,
but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
2Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Corinthians 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not
reprobates.
2Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that
we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is
honest, though we be as reprobates.
2Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for
the truth.
2Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are
strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
2Corinthians 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent,
lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power
which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to
destruction.
2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of
good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love
and peace shall be with you.
2Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
2Corinthians 13:13 All the saints salute you.
2Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but
by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the
dead;)
Galatians 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the
churches of Galatia:
Galatians 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and
from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver
us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and
our Father:
Galatians 1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Galatians 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble
you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any
other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to
please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant
of Christ.
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which
was preached of me is not after man.
Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I
taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past
in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the
church of God, and wasted it:
Galatians 1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my
equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the
traditions of my fathers.
Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my
mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him
among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and
blood:
Galatians 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were
apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again
unto Damascus.
Galatians 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to
see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Galatians 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James
the Lord’s brother.
Galatians 1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold,
before God, I lie not.
Galatians 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and
Cilicia;
Galatians 1:22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea
which were in Christ:
Galatians 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted
us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Galatians 1:24 And they glorified God in me.
Galatians 2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to
Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
Galatians 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto
them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately
to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run,
or had run, in vain.
Galatians 2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek,
was compelled to be circumcised:
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought
in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Galatians 2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an
hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Galatians 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever
they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s
person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added
nothing to me:
Galatians 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of
the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the
circumcision was unto Peter;
Galatians 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the
apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward
the Gentiles:)
Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be
pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to
me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go
unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor;
the same which I also was forward to do.
Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him
to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Galatians 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat
with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and
separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Galatians 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him;
insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their
dissimulation.
Galatians 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly
according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before
them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of
Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles
to live as do the Jews?
Galatians 2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
Gentiles,
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of
the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed
in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the
law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we
ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister
of sin? God forbid.
Galatians 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed,
I make myself a transgressor.
Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I
might live unto God.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if
righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye
should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath
been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the
Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are
ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Galatians 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be
yet in vain.
Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and
worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law,
or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted
to him for righteousness.
Galatians 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the
same are the children of Abraham.
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify
the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto
Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Galatians 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with
faithful Abraham.
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are
under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that
continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the
law to do them.
Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the
sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that
doeth them shall live in them.
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one
that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the
Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise
of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though
it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man
disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy
seed, which is Christ.
Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred
and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the
promise of none effect.
Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more
of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added
because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the
promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a
mediator.
Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is
one.
Galatians 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God
forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given
life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them
that believe.
Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer
under a schoolmaster.
Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither
bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all
one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child,
differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Galatians 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time
appointed of the father.
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage
under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we
might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and
if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Galatians 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service
unto them which by nature are no gods.
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are
known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements,
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Galatians 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Galatians 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you
labour in vain.
Galatians 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye
are: ye have not injured me at all.
Galatians 4:13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I
preached the gospel unto you at the first.
Galatians 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised
not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as
Christ Jesus.
Galatians 4:15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I
bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have
plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell
you the truth?
Galatians 4:17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they
would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
Galatians 4:18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a
good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth
again until Christ be formed in you,
Galatians 4:20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change
my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
Galatians 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye
not hear the law?
Galatians 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the
one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Galatians 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the
flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Galatians 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two
covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to
bondage, which is Agar.
Galatians 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and
answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her
children.
Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the
mother of us all.
Galatians 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that
bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for
the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an
husband.
Galatians 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of
promise.
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh
persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Galatians 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the
bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be
heir with the son of the freewoman.
Galatians 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the
bondwoman, but of the free.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage.
Galatians 5:2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be
circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Galatians 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is
circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of
you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith.
Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should
not obey the truth?
Galatians 5:8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Galatians 5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye
will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall
bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Galatians 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why
do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross
ceased.
Galatians 5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love
serve one another.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in
this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Galatians 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed
that ye be not consumed one of another.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under
the law.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and
such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you
in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit.
Galatians 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
another, envying one another.
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which
are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law
of Christ.
Galatians 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he
is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Galatians 6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall
he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Galatians 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
Galatians 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto
him that teacheth in all good things.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh
reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due
season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good
unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of
faith.
Galatians 6:11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you
with mine own hand.
Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh,
they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer
persecution for the cross of Christ.
Galatians 6:13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised
keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may
glory in your flesh.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified
unto me, and I unto the world.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Galatians 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace
be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear
in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Galatians 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE EPHESIANS
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ
Jesus:
Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he
hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and
prudence;
Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who
first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the
word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after
that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his
glory.
Ephesians 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in
the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Ephesians 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of
you in my prayers;
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the
riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to
us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from
the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly
places,
Ephesians 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might,
and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this
world, but also in that which is to come:
Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be the head over all things to the church,
Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth
all in all.
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins;
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times
past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the
flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding
riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ
Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them.
Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past
Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which
is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being
aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the
covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the
world:
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far
off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the
law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in
himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one
body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Ephesians 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar
off, and to them that were nigh.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit
unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God;
Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Ephesians 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles,
Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of
God which is given me to you-ward:
Ephesians 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Ephesians 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my
knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons
of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets
by the Spirit;
Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the
same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift
of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his
power.
Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints,
is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ;
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of
the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid
in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the
manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence
by the faith of him.
Ephesians 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named,
Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of
his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
inner man;
Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that
ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is
the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us,
Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to
the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he
led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Ephesians 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also
descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up
far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to
and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait
to deceive;
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into
him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of
the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that
ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind,
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated
from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them,
because of the blindness of their heart:
Ephesians 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over
unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Ephesians 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been
taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth
with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down
upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let
him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that
he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may
minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven
you.
Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.
Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh
saints;
Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because
of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
Ephesians 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light
in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;)
Ephesians 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove them.
Ephesians 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things
which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest
by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools,
but as wise,
Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what
the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but
be filled with the Spirit;
Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the
Lord;
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and
the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of
God.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as
unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as
Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the
body.
Ephesians 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that
it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and
of his bones.
Ephesians 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be
one flesh.
Ephesians 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so
love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
her husband.
Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right.
Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first
commandment with promise;)
Ephesians 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live
long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath:
but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters
according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of
your heart, as unto Christ;
Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the
servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Ephesians 6:7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and
not to men:
Ephesians 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth,
the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them,
forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in
heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.
Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the
gospel,
Ephesians 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein
I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ephesians 6:21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do,
Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord,
shall make known to you all things:
Ephesians 6:22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose,
that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your
hearts.
Ephesians 6:23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from
God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus
Christ in sincerity. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS
Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ,
to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the
bishops and deacons:
Philippians 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Philippians 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making
request with joy,
Philippians 1:5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first
day until now;
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of
Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you
all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds,
and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are
partakers of my grace.
Philippians 1:8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you
all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Philippians 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent;
that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that
the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the
furtherance of the gospel;
Philippians 1:13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all
the palace, and in all other places;
Philippians 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing
confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word
without fear.
Philippians 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and
strife; and some also of good will:
Philippians 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not
sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Philippians 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for
the defence of the gospel.
Philippians 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in
pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do
rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Philippians 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation
through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Philippians 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope,
that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as
always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether
it be by life, or by death.
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of
my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire
to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Philippians 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more
needful for you.
Philippians 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall
abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of
faith;
Philippians 1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus
Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the
gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be
absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one
spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the
gospel;
Philippians 1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries:
which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of
salvation, and that of God.
Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ,
not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Philippians 1:30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and
now hear to be in me.
Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ,
if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
bowels and mercies,
Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having
the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves.
Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every
man also on the things of others.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus:
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God:
Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon
him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name:
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth;
Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work
out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will
and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons
of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse
nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may
rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither
laboured in vain.
Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and
service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Philippians 2:18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice
with me.
Philippians 2:19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus
shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know
your state.
Philippians 2:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally
care for your state.
Philippians 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are
Jesus Christ’s.
Philippians 2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with
the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
Philippians 2:23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon
as I shall see how it will go with me.
Philippians 2:24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall
come shortly.
Philippians 2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and
fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my
wants.
Philippians 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of
heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
Philippians 2:27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God
had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I
should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Philippians 2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that,
when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less
sorrowful.
Philippians 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all
gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Philippians 2:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto
death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service
toward me.
Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To
write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but
for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of
the concision.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in
the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh.
Philippians 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.
If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in
the flesh, I more:
Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of
Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as
touching the law, a Pharisee;
Philippians 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching
the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Philippians 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted
loss for Christ.
Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for
the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom
I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
dung, that I may win Christ,
Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the
faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his
resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death;
Philippians 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead.
Philippians 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that
for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall
reveal even this unto you.
Philippians 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained,
let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark
them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often,
and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the
cross of Christ:
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly
things.)
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence
also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working
whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed
for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly
beloved.
Philippians 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they
be of the same mind in the Lord.
Philippians 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help
those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement
also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the
book of life.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,
Rejoice.
Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord is at hand.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and
if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and
received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace
shall be with you.
Philippians 4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at
the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were
also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have
learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Philippians 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to
abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be
full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did
communicate with my affliction.
Philippians 4:15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the
beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church
communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye
only.
Philippians 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again
unto my necessity.
Philippians 4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit
that may abound to your account.
Philippians 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having
received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an
odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to
God.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and
ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren
which are with me greet you.
Philippians 4:22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are
of Caesar’s household.
Philippians 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS
Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of
God, and Timotheus our brother,
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which
are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Colossians 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and
of the love which ye have to all the saints,
Colossians 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Colossians 1:6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world;
and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye
heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Colossians 1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear
fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Colossians 1:8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it,
do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding;
Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his
glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with
joyfulness;
Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us
meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins:
Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature:
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they
be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by him, and for him:
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things
consist.
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is
the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he
might have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all
fulness dwell;
Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his
cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies
in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled,
and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have
heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under
heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill
up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh
for his body’s sake, which is the church:
Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the
dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the
word of God;
Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and
from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching
every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus:
Colossians 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his
working, which worketh in me mightily.
Colossians 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have
for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not
seen my face in the flesh;
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit
together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and
of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge.
Colossians 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you
with enticing words.
Colossians 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with
you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the
Lord, so walk ye in him:
Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments
of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
all principality and power:
Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the
circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the
sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are
risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses;
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that
was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the
way, nailing it to his cross;
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he
made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath days:
Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
is of Christ.
Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a
voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those
things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly
mind,
Colossians 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body
by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances,
Colossians 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Colossians 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
commandments and doctrines of men?
Colossians 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will
worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any
honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things
on the earth.
Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ
in God.
Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Colossians 3:6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on
the children of disobedience:
Colossians 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye
lived in them.
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off
the old man with his deeds;
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision
nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ
is all, and in all.
Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you,
so also do ye.
Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which
is the bond of perfectness.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to
the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
Lord.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by
him.
Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as it is fit in the Lord.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter
against them.
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for
this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest
they be discouraged.
Colossians 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters
according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but
in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men;
Colossians 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the
reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the
wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just
and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with
thanksgiving;
Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open
unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for
which I am also in bonds:
Colossians 4:4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without,
redeeming the time.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with
salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Colossians 4:7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who
is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in
the Lord:
Colossians 4:8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose,
that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
Colossians 4:9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who
is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are
done here.
Colossians 4:10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and
Marcus, sister’s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received
commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
Colossians 4:11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the
circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of
God, which have been a comfort unto me.
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ,
saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that
ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Colossians 4:13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal
for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Colossians 4:15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and
Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
Colossians 4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause
that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye
likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
Colossians 4:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry
which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Colossians 4:18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my
bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS
1Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the
church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the
Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all,
making mention of you in our prayers;
1Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith,
and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight of God and our Father;
1Thessalonians 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of
God.
1Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only,
but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance;
as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
1Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord,
having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy
Ghost:
1Thessalonians 1:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe
in Macedonia and Achaia.
1Thessalonians 1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord
not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your
faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak
any thing.
1Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of
entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God;
1Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he
raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the
wrath to come.
1Thessalonians 2:1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in
unto you, that it was not in vain:
1Thessalonians 2:2 But even after that we had suffered before, and
were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold
in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much
contention.
1Thessalonians 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of
uncleanness, nor in guile:
1Thessalonians 2:4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in
trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but
God, which trieth our hearts.
1Thessalonians 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering
words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
1Thessalonians 2:6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor
yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles
of Christ.
1Thessalonians 2:7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse
cherisheth her children:
1Thessalonians 2:8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we
were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God
only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
1Thessalonians 2:9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and
travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be
chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of
God.
1Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and
justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that
believe:
1Thessalonians 2:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and
charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
1Thessalonians 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath
called you unto his kingdom and glory.
1Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard
of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in
truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that
believe.
1Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the
churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also
have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they
have of the Jews:
1Thessalonians 2:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own
prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are
contrary to all men:
1Thessalonians 2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that
they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is
come upon them to the uttermost.
1Thessalonians 2:17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a
short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more
abundantly to see your face with great desire.
1Thessalonians 2:18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I
Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
1Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of
rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus
Christ at his coming?
1Thessalonians 2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.
1Thessalonians 3:1 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we
thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
1Thessalonians 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister
of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to
establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
1Thessalonians 3:3 That no man should be moved by these
afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
1Thessalonians 3:4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you
before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass,
and ye know.
1Thessalonians 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear,
I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have
tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
1Thessalonians 3:6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us,
and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye
have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as
we also to see you:
1Thessalonians 3:7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you
in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
1Thessalonians 3:8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
1Thessalonians 3:9 For what thanks can we render to God again for
you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our
God;
1Thessalonians 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we
might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in
your faith?
1Thessalonians 3:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord
Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
1Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound
in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do
toward you:
1Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts
unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
1Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and
exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how
ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more
and more.
1Thessalonians 4:2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by
the Lord Jesus.
1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to
possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1Thessalonians 4:5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the
Gentiles which know not God:
1Thessalonians 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother
in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such,
as we also have forewarned you and testified.
1Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,
but unto holiness.
1Thessalonians 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man,
but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
1Thessalonians 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that
I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one
another.
1Thessalonians 4:10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren
which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye
increase more and more;
1Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your
own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded
you;
1Thessalonians 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are
without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
1Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him.
1Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the
Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the
Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.
1Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye
have no need that I write unto you.
1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of
the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape.
1Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but
let us watch and be sober.
1Thessalonians 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and
they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet,
the hope of salvation.
1Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Thessalonians 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or
sleep, we should live together with him.
1Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and
edify one another, even as also ye do.
1Thessalonians 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them
which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish
you;
1Thessalonians 5:13 And to esteem them very highly in love for
their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
1Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that
are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient
toward all men.
1Thessalonians 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any
man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves,
and to all men.
1Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
1Thessalonians 5:20 Despise not prophesyings.
1Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.
1Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will
do it.
1Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
1Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
1Thessalonians 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be
read unto all the holy brethren.
1Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you. Amen.
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS
2Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the
church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ:
2Thessalonians 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Thessalonians 1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you,
brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth
exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each
other aboundeth;
2Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your
persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2Thessalonians 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which ye also suffer:
2Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
2Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels,
2Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
2Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
his power;
2Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his
saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that
our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the
good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be
glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from
us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you,
I told you these things?
2Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might
be revealed in his time.
2Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the
way.
2Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved.
2Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God
for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the
beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the
Spirit and belief of the truth:
2Thessalonians 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the
obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the
traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our
epistle.
2Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God,
even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us
everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
2Thessalonians 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every
good word and work.
2Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word
of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is
with you:
2Thessalonians 3:2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable
and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
2Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish
you, and keep you from evil.
2Thessalonians 3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching
you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
2Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love
of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
2Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every
brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which
he received of us.
2Thessalonians 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us:
for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
2Thessalonians 3:8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought;
but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might
not be chargeable to any of you:
2Thessalonians 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make
ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
2Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we
commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
2Thessalonians 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk
among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
2Thessalonians 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort
by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat
their own bread.
2Thessalonians 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
2Thessalonians 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this
epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may
be ashamed.
2Thessalonians 3:15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish
him as a brother.
2Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace
always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
2Thessalonians 3:17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand,
which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
2Thessalonians 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all. Amen.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY
1Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment
of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1Timothy 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy,
and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Timothy 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I
went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they
teach no other doctrine,
1Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
faith: so do.
1Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a
pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1Timothy 1:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto
vain jangling;
1Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding
neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it
lawfully;
1Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the
ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of
fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Timothy 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves
with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons,
and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound
doctrine;
1Timothy 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,
which was committed to my trust.
1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled
me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and
injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in
unbelief.
1Timothy 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant
with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me
first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a
pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life
everlasting.
1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the
only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy,
according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou
by them mightest war a good warfare;
1Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some
having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1Timothy 1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have
delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be
made for all men;
1Timothy 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we
may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Saviour;
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto
the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in
due time.
1Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,
(I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and verity.
1Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting
up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
1Timothy 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with
good works.
1Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being
deceived was in the transgression.
1Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing,
if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of
a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one
wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality,
apt to teach;
1Timothy 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Timothy 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his
children in subjection with all gravity;
1Timothy 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how
shall he take care of the church of God?)
1Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall
into the condemnation of the devil.
1Timothy 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are
without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1Timothy 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not
doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1Timothy 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure
conscience.
1Timothy 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them
use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
1Timothy 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things.
1Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling
their children and their own houses well.
1Timothy 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well
purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the
faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1Timothy 3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto
thee shortly:
1Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou
oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the
church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory.
1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
1Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from
meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of
them which believe and know the truth.
1Timothy 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be
refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Timothy 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1Timothy 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these
things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished
up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast
attained.
1Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and
exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
1Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness
is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come.
1Timothy 4:9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation.
1Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.
1Timothy 4:11 These things command and teach.
1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example
of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit,
in faith, in purity.
1Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to
exhortation, to doctrine.
1Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the
presbytery.
1Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to
them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
1Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;
continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself,
and them that hear thee.
1Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and
the younger men as brethren;
1Timothy 5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters,
with all purity.
1Timothy 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
1Timothy 5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them
learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents:
for that is good and acceptable before God.
1Timothy 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,
trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night
and day.
1Timothy 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she
liveth.
1Timothy 5:7 And these things give in charge, that they may be
blameless.
1Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for
those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infidel.
1Timothy 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under
threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
1Timothy 5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought
up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the
saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have
diligently followed every good work.
1Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have
begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
1Timothy 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their
first faith.
1Timothy 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about
from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and
busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear
children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to
speak reproachfully.
1Timothy 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
1Timothy 5:16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let
them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
1Timothy 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of
double honour, especially they who labour in the word and
doctrine.
1Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the
ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his
reward.
1Timothy 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but
before two or three witnesses.
1Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear.
1Timothy 5:21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
1Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of
other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
1Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy
stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
1Timothy 5:24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to
judgment; and some men they follow after.
1Timothy 5:25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest
beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1Timothy 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count
their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and
his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1Timothy 6:2 And they that have believing masters, let them not
despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them
service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the
benefit. These things teach and exhort.
1Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to
wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1Timothy 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings,
1Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and
destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from
such withdraw thyself.
1Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out.
1Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith
content.
1Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in
destruction and perdition.
1Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which
while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and
follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness.
1Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal
life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good
profession before many witnesses.
1Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who
quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius
Pilate witnessed a good confession;
1Timothy 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot,
unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed
and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light
which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can
see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
1Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they
be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the
living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
1Timothy 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works,
ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
1Timothy 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation
against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy
trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called:
1Timothy 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the
faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY
2Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Timothy 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with
pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee
in my prayers night and day;
2Timothy 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy
tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2Timothy 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that
is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy
mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
2Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up
the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the
afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
2Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy
calling, not according to our works, but according to his own
purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the
world began,
2Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our
Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought
life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2Timothy 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle,
and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things:
nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have
committed unto him against that day.
2Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast
heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2Timothy 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep
by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
2Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia
be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2Timothy 1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus;
for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
2Timothy 1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
diligently, and found me.
2Timothy 1:18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of
the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me
at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
2Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that
is in Christ Jesus.
2Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many
witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able
to teach others also.
2Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
2Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the
affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him
to be a soldier.
2Timothy 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not
crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2Timothy 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker
of the fruits.
2Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things.
2Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was
raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2Timothy 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto
bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes,
that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with eternal glory.
2Timothy 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him:
2Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we
deny him, he also will deny us:
2Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself.
2Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging
them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no
profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.
2Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness.
2Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,
having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of
gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to
honour, and some to dishonour.
2Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the
master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,
faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.
2Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing
that they do gender strifes.
2Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose
themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth;
2Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come.
2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God;
2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.
2Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts,
2Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
2Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do
these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith.
2Timothy 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly
shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
2Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of
life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2Timothy 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at
Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but
out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.
2Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and being deceived.
2Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast
learned them;
2Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
2Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.
2Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his
appearing and his kingdom;
2Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables.
2Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do
the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2Timothy 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
departure is at hand.
2Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith:
2Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me
at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love
his appearing.
2Timothy 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
2Timothy 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this
present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
2Timothy 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with
thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
2Timothy 4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
2Timothy 4:13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when
thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the
parchments.
2Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord
reward him according to his works:
2Timothy 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly
withstood our words.
2Timothy 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men
forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
2Timothy 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and
strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,
and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of
the mouth of the lion.
2Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,
and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory
for ever and ever. Amen.
2Timothy 4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of
Onesiphorus.
2Timothy 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left
at Miletum sick.
2Timothy 4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus
greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the
brethren.
2Timothy 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be
with you. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TITUS
Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of
the truth which is after godliness;
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;
Titus 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through
preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment
of God our Saviour;
Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace,
mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
our Saviour.
Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest
set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in
every city, as I had appointed thee:
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having
faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;
not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not
given to filthy lucre;
Titus 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober,
just, holy, temperate;
Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught,
that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to
convince the gainsayers.
Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and
deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Titus 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Titus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said,
The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of
men, that turn from the truth.
Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that
are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind
and conscience is defiled.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
reprobate.
Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
Titus 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in
faith, in charity, in patience.
Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love
their husbands, to love their children,
Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient
to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
Titus 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Titus 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is
of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say
of you.
Titus 2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Titus 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that
they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world;
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from
all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works.
Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.
Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and
powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle,
shewing all meekness unto all men.
Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living
in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared,
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
Saviour;
Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made
heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that
thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might
be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and
profitable unto men.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and
contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second
admonition reject;
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,
being condemned of himself.
Titus 3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be
diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there
to winter.
Titus 3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Titus 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for
necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
Titus 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love
us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO PHILEMON
Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our
brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Philemon 1:2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our
fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
Philemon 1:3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon 1:4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my
prayers,
Philemon 1:5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward
the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become
effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you
in Christ Jesus.
Philemon 1:7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love,
because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Philemon 1:8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to
enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Philemon 1:9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such
an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Philemon 1:10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have
begotten in my bonds:
Philemon 1:11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now
profitable to thee and to me:
Philemon 1:12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him,
that is, mine own bowels:
Philemon 1:13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy
stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Philemon 1:14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy
benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Philemon 1:15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that
thou shouldest receive him for ever;
Philemon 1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother
beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the
flesh, and in the Lord?
Philemon 1:17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as
myself.
Philemon 1:18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put
that on mine account;
Philemon 1:19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will
repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even
thine own self besides.
Philemon 1:20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord:
refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Philemon 1:21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto
thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Philemon 1:22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust
that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Philemon 1:23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in
Christ Jesus;
Philemon 1:24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my
fellowlabourers.
Philemon 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake
in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made
the worlds;
Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the
right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath
by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou
art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to
him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels
spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy
kingdom.
Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows.
Hebrews 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine
hands:
Hebrews 1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all
shall wax old as doth a garment;
Hebrews 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they
shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not
fail.
Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit
on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to
the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let
them slip.
Hebrews 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and
every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of
reward;
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was
confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and
wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to his own will?
Hebrews 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the
world to come, whereof we speak.
Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is
man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him?
Hebrews 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou
crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the
works of thy hands:
Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.
For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing
that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put
under him.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the
angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour;
that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by
whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the
captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to
call them brethren,
Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in
the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Hebrews 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again,
Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh
and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that
through death he might destroy him that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all
their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels;
but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made
like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation
for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,
he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession,
Christ Jesus;
Hebrews 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also
Moses was faithful in all his house.
Hebrews 3:3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than
Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour
than the house.
Hebrews 3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that
built all things is God.
Hebrews 3:5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a
servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken
after;
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house
are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the
hope firm unto the end.
Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will
hear his voice,
Hebrews 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the
day of temptation in the wilderness:
Hebrews 3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
works forty years.
Hebrews 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and
said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my
ways.
Hebrews 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my
rest.)
Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To
day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit
not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Hebrews 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not
with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into
his rest, but to them that believed not?
Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of
unbelief.
Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us
of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of
it.
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto
them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed
with faith in them that heard it.
Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he
said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my
rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the
world.
Hebrews 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on
this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Hebrews 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my
rest.
Hebrews 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter
therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in
because of unbelief:
Hebrews 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To
day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear
his voice, harden not your hearts.
Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day.
Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath
ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest
any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in
his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of
him with whom we have to do.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is
passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our profession.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need.
Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained
for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts
and sacrifices for sins:
Hebrews 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them
that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed
with infirmity.
Hebrews 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so
also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hebrews 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he
that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an
high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day
have I begotten thee.
Hebrews 5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him
that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he
feared;
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the
things which he suffered;
Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of
Melchisedec.
Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye
have need that one teach you again which be the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk,
and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the
word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised
to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of
Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers
of the world to come,
Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto
repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 6:7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh
oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is
dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
Hebrews 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected,
and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Hebrews 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you,
and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye
have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same
diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who
through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he
could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Hebrews 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee.
Hebrews 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained
the promise.
Hebrews 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Hebrews 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the
heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by
an oath:
Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who
have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both
sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus,
made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the
most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the
kings, and blessed him;
Hebrews 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first
being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also
King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent,
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like
unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even
the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
Hebrews 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who
receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take
tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their
brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
Hebrews 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received
tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Hebrews 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of
the better.
Hebrews 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he
receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
Hebrews 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes,
payed tithes in Abraham.
Hebrews 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when
Melchisedec met him.
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical
priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what
further need was there that another priest should rise after the
order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of
necessity a change also of the law.
Hebrews 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to
another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
Hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda;
of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Hebrews 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the
similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal
commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Hebrews 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after
the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment
going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in
of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Hebrews 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made
priest:
Hebrews 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but
this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and
will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec:)
Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better
testament.
Hebrews 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were
not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Hebrews 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy,
harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than
the heavens;
Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to
offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the
people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have
infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law,
maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
Hebrews 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of
the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Hebrews 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Hebrews 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have
somewhat also to offer.
Hebrews 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest,
seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the
law:
Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly
things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make
the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things
according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by
how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then
should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with
the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out
of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant,
and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my
laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will
be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and
every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know
me, from the least to the greatest.
Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the
first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to
vanish away.
Hebrews 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of
divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein
was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is
called the sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is
called the Holiest of all;
Hebrews 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the
covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden
pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of
the covenant;
Hebrews 9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the
mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests
went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service
of God.
Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once
every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and
for the errors of the people:
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the
holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first
tabernacle was yet standing:
Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which
were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him
that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers
washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
reformation.
Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things
to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes
of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying
of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Hebrews 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated
without blood.
Hebrews 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the
people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of
goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled
both the book, and all the people,
Hebrews 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God
hath enjoined unto you.
Hebrews 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle,
and all the vessels of the ministry.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of
things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the
high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of
others;
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the
foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath
he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time
without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with those
sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the
comers thereunto perfect.
Hebrews 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more
conscience of sins.
Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again
made of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of
goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou
prepared me:
Hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast
had no pleasure.
Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it
is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Hebrews 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt
offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst
pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and
offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins:
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for
sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made
his footstool.
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them
that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for
after that he had said before,
Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their
hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no
more.
Hebrews 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more
offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Hebrews 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance
of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without
wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love
and to good works:
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much
the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sins,
Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and
fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under
two or three witnesses:
Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he
be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and
hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was
sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit
of grace?
Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth
unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord
shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God.
Hebrews 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which,
after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of
afflictions;
Hebrews 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by
reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became
companions of them that were so used.
Hebrews 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took
joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye
have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath
great recompence of reward.
Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have
done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will
come, and will not tarry.
Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;
but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was
righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead
yet speaketh.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see
death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for
before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for
he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen
as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his
house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the
righteousness which is by faith.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a
place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Hebrews 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a
strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the
heirs with him of the same promise:
Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to
conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,
because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Hebrews 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good
as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the
sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the
promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of
them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers
and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that
they seek a country.
Hebrews 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country
from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have
returned.
Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for
he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up
Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only
begotten son,
Hebrews 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be
called:
Hebrews 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even
from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Hebrews 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning
things to come.
Hebrews 11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both
the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his
staff.
Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the
departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment
concerning his bones.
Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three
months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and
they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused
to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Hebrews 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people
of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Hebrews 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of
the reward.
Hebrews 11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of
the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the
sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should
touch them.
Hebrews 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry
land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they
were compassed about seven days.
Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Hebrews 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail
me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of
Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Hebrews 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Hebrews 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in
fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and
others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
obtain a better resurrection:
Hebrews 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Hebrews 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in
sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Hebrews 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in
deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through
faith, received not the promise:
Hebrews 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that
they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our
faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.
Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against
sin.
Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh
unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening
of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth
every son whom he receiveth.
Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with
sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather
be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Hebrews 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after
their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be
partakers of his holiness.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be
joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised
thereby.
Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the
feeble knees;
Hebrews 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that
which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be
healed.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of
God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and
thereby many be defiled;
Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as
Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have
inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be
touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and
darkness, and tempest,
Hebrews 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words;
which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be
spoken to them any more:
Hebrews 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded,
And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned,
or thrust through with a dart:
Hebrews 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I
exceedingly fear and quake:)
Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels,
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to
the spirits of just men made perfect,
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and
to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that
of Abel.
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if
they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more
shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from
heaven:
Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath
promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but
also heaven.
Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are
made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear:
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby
some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;
and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the
body.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled:
but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be
content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will
never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and
I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have
spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering
the end of their conversation.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever.
Hebrews 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange
doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established
with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have
been occupied therein.
Hebrews 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat
which serve the tabernacle.
Hebrews 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is
brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned
without the camp.
Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the
people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Hebrews 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach.
Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one
to come.
Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of
praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving
thanks to his name.
Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for
with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit
yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for
that is unprofitable for you.
Hebrews 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience,
in all things willing to live honestly.
Hebrews 13:19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may
be restored to you the sooner.
Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hebrews 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,
working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of
exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty;
with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
Hebrews 13:24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all
the saints. They of Italy salute you.
Hebrews 13:25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JAMES
James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to
the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.
James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him.
James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed.
James 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any
thing of the Lord.
James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is
exalted:
James 1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the
flower of the grass he shall pass away.
James 1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but
it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the
grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man
fade away in his ways.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when
he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord
hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and enticed.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
James 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of
God.
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he
is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and
straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth
not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion
is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father
is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
James 2:2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold
ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile
raiment;
James 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay
clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say
to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
James 2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become
judges of evil thoughts?
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the
poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which
he hath promised to them that love him?
James 2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress
you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
James 2:7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye
are called?
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and
are convinced of the law as transgressors.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one point, he is guilty of all.
James 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do
not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou
art become a transgressor of the law.
James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by
the law of liberty.
James 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath
shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he
hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
food,
James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone.
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:
shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith
by my works.
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead?
James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he
had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by
works was faith made perfect?
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and
he was called the Friend of God.
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and
not by faith only.
James 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by
works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out
another way?
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
without works is dead also.
James 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
receive the greater condemnation.
James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not
in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the
whole body.
James 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may
obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
James 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great,
and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a
very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the
tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and
setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of
hell.
James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents,
and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
mankind:
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil,
full of deadly poison.
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith
curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
James 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet
water and bitter?
James 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
fresh.
James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of
wisdom.
James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your
hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,
sensual, devilish.
James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and
every evil work.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and
good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them
that make peace.
James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they
not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and
cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask
not.
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye
may consume it upon your lusts.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit
that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse
your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be
turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he
shall lift you up.
James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that
speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh
evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law,
thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go
into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and
get gain:
James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For
what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a
little time, and then vanisheth away.
James 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall
live, and do this, or that.
James 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such
rejoicing is evil.
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it
not, to him it is sin.
James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you.
James 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are
motheaten.
James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them
shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it
were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down
your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the
cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the
Lord of sabaoth.
James 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton;
ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
James 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not
resist you.
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the
Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the
earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early
and latter rain.
James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming
of the Lord draweth nigh.
James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
James 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the
name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of
patience.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard
of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that
the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither
by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but
let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation.
James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry?
let him sing psalms.
James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of
the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord:
James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall
be forgiven him.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and
he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three years and six months.
James 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the
earth brought forth her fruit.
James 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one
convert him;
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from
the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide
a multitude of sins.
THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER
1Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers
scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia,
1Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
peace, be multiplied.
1Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto
a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and
that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1Peter 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if
need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious
than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might
be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:
1Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye
see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory:
1Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of
your souls.
1Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and
searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come
unto you:
1Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of
Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand
the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
1Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves,
but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported
unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the
Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire
to look into.
1Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy
in all manner of conversation;
1Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1Peter 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of
persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of
your sojourning here in fear:
1Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:
1Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Peter 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from
the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in
God.
1Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.
1Peter 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as
the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away:
1Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this
is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby:
1Peter 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1Peter 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed
indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and
he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1Peter 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but
unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even
to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto
also they were appointed.
1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:
1Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the
people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
mercy.
1Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:
that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by
your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day
of visitation.
1Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Peter 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him
for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that
do well.
1Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may
put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Peter 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour
the king.
1Peter 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1Peter 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience
toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1Peter 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your
faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and
suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
1Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps:
1Peter 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Peter 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that
judgeth righteously:
1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed.
1Peter 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now
returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without
the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
1Peter 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with
fear.
1Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel;
1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1Peter 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection
unto their own husbands:
1Peter 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with
any amazement.
1Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to
knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel,
and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your
prayers be not hindered.
1Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one
of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
1Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:
but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.
1Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no
guile:
1Peter 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,
and ensue it.
1Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and
his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil.
1Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers
of that which is good?
1Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy
are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
1Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready
always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of
the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak
evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely
accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1Peter 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye
suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
1Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death
in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in
prison;
1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was
a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
water.
1Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now
save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ:
1Peter 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of
God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto
him.
1Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that
hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Peter 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1Peter 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have
wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in
lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,
and abominable idolatries:
1Peter 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them
to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
1Peter 4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge
the quick and the dead.
1Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them
that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the
flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.
1Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among
yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1Peter 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister
the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of
God.
1Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;
if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God
giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus
Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened
unto you:
1Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad
also with exceeding joy.
1Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are
ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their
part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a
thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
1Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the
house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be
of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall
the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will
of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
unto a faithful Creator.
1Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an
elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a
partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
1Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for
filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
1Peter 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being
ensamples to the flock.
1Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall
receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.
Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with
humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the
humble.
1Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:
1Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the
same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a
while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1Peter 5:11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1Peter 5:12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I
suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that
this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
1Peter 5:13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with
you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
1Peter 5:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be
with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
THE SECOND EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER
2Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust.
2Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your
faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Peter 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness;
2Peter 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity.
2Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make
you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Peter 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot
see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old
sins.
2Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make
your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall:
2Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
2Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be
established in the present truth.
2Peter 1:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
2Peter 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my
tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
2Peter 1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my
decease to have these things always in remembrance.
2Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,
when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory,
when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Peter 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when
we were with him in the holy mount.
2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a
dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts:
2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation.
2Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost.
2Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason
of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast
them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to
be reserved unto judgment;
2Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon
the world of the ungodly;
2Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto
those that after should live ungodly;
2Peter 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy
conversation of the wicked:
2Peter 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing
and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
unlawful deeds;)
2Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to
be punished:
2Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust
of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2Peter 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might,
bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken
and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as
they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they
are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings
while they feast with you;
2Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease
from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised
with covetous practices; cursed children:
2Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone
astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved
the wages of unrighteousness;
2Peter 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass
speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried
with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
2Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity,
they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much
wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in
error.
2Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are
the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the
same is he brought in bondage.
2Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the
world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is
worse with them than the beginning.
2Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the
way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from
the holy commandment delivered unto them.
2Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true
proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow
that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2Peter 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in
both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Peter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken
before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last
days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Peter 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for
since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation.
2Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of
the water and in the water:
2Peter 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished:
2Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the
same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that
one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day.
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
godliness,
2Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of
God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without
spot, and blameless.
2Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is
salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the
wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these
things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things
before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
Amen.
THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF JOHN
1John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1John 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and
bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with
the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
1John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,
that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1John 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be
full.
1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at
all.
1John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us.
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that
ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for
ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of
God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to
walk, even as he walked.
1John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an
old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old
commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
1John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing
is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the
true light now shineth.
1John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his
brother, is in darkness even until now.
1John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and
walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because
that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins
are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
1John 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because
ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little
children, because ye have known the Father.
1John 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known
him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young
men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you,
and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him.
1John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
1John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have
heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if
they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:
but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were
not all of us.
1John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know
all things.
1John 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the
truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the
Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the
Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard
from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning
shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the
Father.
1John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even
eternal life.
1John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them
that seduce you.
1John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he
shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before
him at his coming.
1John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one
that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed
upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the
world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself, even as he is pure.
1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law.
1John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our
sins; and in him is no sin.
1John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth
hath not seen him, neither known him.
1John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his
seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of
God.
1John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the
children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of
God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the
beginning, that we should love one another.
1John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his
brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were
evil, and his brother’s righteous.
1John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
1John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life,
because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother
abideth in death.
1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know
that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he
laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren.
1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother
have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how
dwelleth the love of God in him?
1John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1John 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our hearts before him.
1John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our
heart, and knoweth all things.
1John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we
confidence toward God.
1John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we
keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in
his sight.
1John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on
the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave
us commandment.
1John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him,
and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the
Spirit which he hath given us.
1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out
into the world.
1John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even
now already is it in the world.
1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world.
1John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth them.
1John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that
is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.
1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that
we might live through him.
1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he
loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another.
1John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent
the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath
to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him.
1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have
boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in
this world.
1John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out
fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love.
1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is
a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how
can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love his brother also.
1John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of
God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that
is begotten of him.
1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when
we love God, and keep his commandments.
1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1John 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus
Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the
Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the
Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in
one.
1John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of
his Son.
1John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because
he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God hath not life.
1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on
the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal
life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that,
if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
1John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
1John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto
death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin
not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he
shall pray for it.
1John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto
death.
1John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but
he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
toucheth him not.
1John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world
lieth in wickedness.
1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given
us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are
in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the
true God, and eternal life.
1John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF JOHN
2John 1:1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I
love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have
known the truth;
2John 1:2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be
with us for ever.
2John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in
truth and love.
2John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking
in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
2John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a
new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one another.
2John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.
This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the
beginning, ye should walk in it.
2John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a
deceiver and an antichrist.
2John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which
we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
2John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine
of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God
speed:
2John 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his
evil deeds.
2John 1:12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write
with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face
to face, that our joy may be full.
2John 1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
THE THIRD EPISTLE OF JOHN
3John 1:1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
truth.
3John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and
testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in
the truth.
3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk
in truth.
3John 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to
the brethren, and to strangers;
3John 1:6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the
church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly
sort, thou shalt do well:
3John 1:7 Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking
nothing of the Gentiles.
3John 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
fellowhelpers to the truth.
3John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to
have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
3John 1:10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which
he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content
therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and
forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
3John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which
is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath
not seen God.
3John 1:12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth
itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record
is true.
3John 1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and
pen write unto thee:
3John 1:14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall
speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee.
Greet the friends by name.
THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JUDE
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,
to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in
Jesus Christ, and called:
Jude 1:2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of
the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and
exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which
was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning
the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only
Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but
left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in
like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil
he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a
railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know
not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those
things they corrupt themselves.
Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain,
and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and
perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they
feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jude 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever.
Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints,
Jude 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that
are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have
ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly
sinners have spoken against him.
Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their
own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having
men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken
before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jude 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the
last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having
not the Spirit.
Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most
holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and
to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with
exceeding joy,
Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
THE REVELATION OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto
him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant
John:
Revelation 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the
testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the
words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and
which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his
throne;
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of
the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
his own blood,
Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall
see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the
earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,
saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was
in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for
the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard
behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the
last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the
seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as
white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out
of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was
as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am
the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of
death.
Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the
things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest
in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven
stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,
and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast
tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:
Revelation 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my
name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because
thou hast left thy first love.
Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and
repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent.
Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of
the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat
of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;
These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is
alive;
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
(but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say
they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:
behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may
be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of
the second death.
Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even
where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not
denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my
faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou
hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac
to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat
things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of
the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and
will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat
of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that
receiveth it.
Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira
write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like
unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and
faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more
than the first.
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication;
and she repented not.
Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that
commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they
repent of their deeds.
Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all
the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and
hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.
Revelation 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira,
as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the
depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other
burden.
Revelation 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I
come.
Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto
the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the
vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I
received of my Father.
Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the
seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou
livest, and art dead.
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works
perfect before God.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and
heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not
watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know
what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for
they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in
white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his
angels.
Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia
write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he
that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an
open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little
strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will
make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I
have loved thee.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I
also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come
upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write
upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor
hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not
appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me
in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne.
Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a
trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will
shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a
throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Revelation 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and
a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald.
Revelation 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty
seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,
clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of
gold.
Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning
before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Revelation 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like
unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Revelation 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second
beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and
the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Revelation 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings
about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not
day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which
was, and is, and is to come.
Revelation 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and
thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and
ever,
Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him
that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with
seven seals.
Revelation 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud
voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof?
Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under
the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to
open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not:
behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne
and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a
Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Revelation 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand
of him that sat upon the throne.
Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and
four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one
of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the
prayers of saints.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy
to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast
slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands
of thousands;
Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,
and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the
earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all
that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory,
and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever
and ever.
Revelation 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see.
Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that
sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went
forth conquering, and to conquer.
Revelation 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see.
Revelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and
power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the
earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given
unto him a great sword.
Revelation 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the
third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse;
and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name
that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power
was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts
of the earth.
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How
long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our
blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that
should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even
as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a
mighty wind.
Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places.
Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and
the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and
every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and
in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing
on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea,
nor on any tree.
Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice
to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea,
Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor
the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads.
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of
all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to
our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne,
and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the
throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God
for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came
they?
Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he
said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them.
Revelation 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God;
and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar,
having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense,
that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the
golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the
prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s
hand.
Revelation 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with
fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were
voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail
and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth:
and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was
burnt up.
Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a
great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the
third part of the sea became blood;
Revelation 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in
the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed.
Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a
great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell
upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of
waters;
Revelation 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and
the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of
the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part
of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the
night likewise.
Revelation 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through
the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to
the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall
from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit.
Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a
smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun
and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the
earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the
earth have power.
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt
the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.
Revelation 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their
torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall
not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from
them.
Revelation 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses
prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns
like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Revelation 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their
teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Revelation 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates
of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots
of many horses running to battle.
Revelation 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there
were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men
five months.
Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel
of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Revelation 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes
more hereafter.
Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice
from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to
slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were
two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them
that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed,
by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued
out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their
tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and
with them they do hurt.
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by
these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that
they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and
brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear,
nor walk:
Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of
their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and
his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
Revelation 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he
set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Revelation 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion
roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their
voices.
Revelation 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders
uttered, and write them not.
Revelation 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and
upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Revelation 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the
things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto
me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in
the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth.
Revelation 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give
me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up;
and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth
sweet as honey.
Revelation 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as
soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again
before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and
the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and
the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave
out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and
the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out
of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will
hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not
in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn
them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often
as they will.
Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of
the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where
also our Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues
and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half,
and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Revelation 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice
over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;
because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Revelation 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of
life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet;
and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying
unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a
cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Revelation 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake,
and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were
slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and
gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third
woe cometh quickly.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are
become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall
reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before
God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to
thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is
come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and
that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets,
and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and
there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there
were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake,
and great hail.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a
woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon
her head a crown of twelve stars:
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in
birth, and pained to be delivered.
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads.
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood
before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour
her child as soon as it was born.
Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule
all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto
God, and to his throne.
Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found
any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast
out with him.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is
come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell
in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for
the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the
earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great
eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a
flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away
of the flood.
Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast
out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went
to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the
mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat,
and great authority.
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered
after the beast.
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like
unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to
continue forty and two months.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of
the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword,
and did live.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed.
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or
in their foreheads:
Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that
had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount
Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his
Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Revelation 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the
voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the
throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man
could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand,
which were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women;
for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being
the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they
are without fault before the throne of God.
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that
dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue,
and people,
Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory
to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that
made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon
is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and
receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship
the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his
name.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they
that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and
their works do follow them.
Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon
the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a
golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying
with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy
sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe.
Revelation 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle
on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is
in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which
had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the
sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the
clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Revelation 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the
earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the
great winepress of the wrath of God.
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,
and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in
them is filled up the wrath of God.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with
fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and
over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his
name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of
God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou
King of saints.
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy
name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Revelation 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple
of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Revelation 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple,
having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and
having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for
ever and ever.
Revelation 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the
glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter
into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were
fulfilled.
Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying
to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the
wrath of God upon the earth.
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon
the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped
his image.
Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the
sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living
soul died in the sea.
Revelation 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the
rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Revelation 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art
righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou
hast judged thus.
Revelation 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are
worthy.
Revelation 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so,
Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the
sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Revelation 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues:
and they repented not to give him glory.
Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain,
Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their
pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the
great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that
the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the
whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.
Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they
see his shame.
Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called
in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into
the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, It is done.
Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not
since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so
great.
Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in
remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of his wrath.
Revelation 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains
were not found.
Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague
thereof was exceeding great.
Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither;
I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth
upon many waters:
Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk
with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet
colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw
her, I wondered with great admiration.
Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou
marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the
beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and
shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when
they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and
one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.
Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten
kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as
kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou
sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and
nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and
naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his
will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until
the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come
down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened
with his glory.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a
cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are
waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities.
Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double
unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
filled fill to her double.
Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived
deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in
her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no
sorrow.
Revelation 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned
with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed
fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,
saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for
in one hour is thy judgment come.
Revelation 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Revelation 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious
stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and
scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and
all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron,
and marble,
Revelation 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and
frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and
beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls
of men.
Revelation 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are
departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly
are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Revelation 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made
rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment,
weeping and wailing,
Revelation 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was
clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Revelation 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to
nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and
sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Revelation 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning,
saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried,
weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein
were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy
apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Revelation 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great
millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence
shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found
no more at all.
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of
pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and
no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more
in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at
all in thee;
Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at
all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride
shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the
great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations
deceived.
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and
of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of
much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and
honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he
hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her
fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her
hand.
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose
up for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts
fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia.
Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise
our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and
great.
Revelation 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of
mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth.
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to
him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made
herself ready.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed
in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he
saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he
said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for
the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and
in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head
were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
he himself.
Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in
blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him
upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that
with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a
rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a
name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the
midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the
supper of the great God;
Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh
of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses,
and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free
and bond, both small and great.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth,
and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that
sat on the horse, and against his army.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived
them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of
fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him
that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth:
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him
up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that
he must be loosed a little season.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,
and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and
they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they
shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a
thousand years.
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are
in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them
together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat
on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before
God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which
is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and
they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book
of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea.
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with
them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away.
Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I
make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words
are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride,
the Lamb’s wife.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great
and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like
unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as
crystal;
Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve
gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of
Israel:
Revelation 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three
gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Revelation 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is
as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal.
Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and
forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is,
of the angel.
Revelation 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were
garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation
was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the
fourth, an emerald;
Revelation 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the
tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
amethyst.
Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure
gold, as it were transparent glass.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of
the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and
the Lamb is the light thereof.
Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall
walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their
glory and honour into it.
Revelation 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by
day: for there shall be no night there.
Revelation 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any
thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of
life.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either
side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne
of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall
serve him:
Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be
in their foreheads.
Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need
no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them
light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful
and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to
shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth
the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And
when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet
of the angel which shewed me these things.
Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I
am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of
them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the
prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and
he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let
him be holy still.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end,
the first and the last.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that
they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through
the gates into the city.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth
and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of
David, and the bright and morning star.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let
him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written
in this book:
Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of
the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which
are written in this book.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I
come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all. Amen.
