Luke:12:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
For there is nothing covered ,
that shall not be revealed ;
neither hid ,
that shall not be known .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings ,
and not one of them is forgotten before God ?
*
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered .
Fear not therefore :
ye are of more value than many sparrows .
*
Also I say unto you ,
Whosoever shall confess me before men ,
him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God :
*
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say .
*
And one of the company said unto him ,
Master ,
speak to my brother ,
that he divide the inheritance with me .
*
And he said unto him ,
Man ,
who made me a judge or a divider over you ?
*
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 .
