Matthew:7-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Judge not ,
that ye be not judged .
*
For with what judgment ye judge ,
ye shall be judged :
and with what measure ye mete ,
it shall be measured to you again .
*
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother '
s eye ,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Ask ,
and it shall be given you ;
seek ,
and ye shall find ;
knock ,
and it shall be opened unto you :
*
For every one that asketh receiveth ;
and he that seeketh findeth ;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .
*
Or what man is there of you ,
whom if his son ask bread ,
will he give him a stone ?
*
Or if he ask a fish ,
will he give him a serpent ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
Because strait is the gate ,
and narrow is the way ,
which leadeth unto life ,
and few there be that find it .
*
Beware of false prophets ,
which come to you in sheep '
s clothing ,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves .
*
Ye shall know them by their fruits .
Do men gather grapes of thorns ,
or figs of thistles ?
*
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit ;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit .
*
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit ,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .
*
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down ,
and cast into the fire .
*
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And then will I profess unto them ,
I never knew you :
depart from me ,
ye that work iniquity .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jesus had ended these sayings ,
the people were astonished at his doctrine :
*
For he taught them as one having authority ,
and not as the scribes .
*
When he was come down from the mountain ,
great multitudes followed him .
*
And ,
behold ,
there came a leper and worshipped him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
if thou wilt ,
thou canst make me clean .
*
And Jesus put forth his hand ,
and touched him ,
saying ,
I will ;
be thou clean .
And immediately his leprosy was cleansed .
*
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 .
*
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum ,
there came unto him a centurion ,
beseeching him ,
*
And saying ,
Lord ,
my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy ,
grievously tormented .
*
And Jesus saith unto him ,
I will come and heal him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness :
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
*
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 .
*
And when Jesus was come into Peter '
s house ,
he saw his wife '
s mother laid ,
and sick of a fever .
*
And he touched her hand ,
and the fever left her :
and she arose ,
and ministered unto them .
*
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 :
*
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet ,
saying ,
Himself took our infirmities ,
and bare our sicknesses .
*
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him ,
he gave commandment to depart unto the other side .
*
And a certain scribe came ,
and said unto him ,
Master ,
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest .
*
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 .
*
And another of his disciples said unto him ,
Lord ,
suffer me first to go and bury my father .
*
But Jesus said unto him ,
Follow me ;
and let the dead bury their dead .
*
And when he was entered into a ship ,
his disciples followed him .
*
And ,
behold ,
there arose a great tempest in the sea ,
insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves :
but he was asleep .
*
And his disciples came to him ,
and awoke him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
save us :
we perish .
*
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 .
*
But the men marvelled ,
saying ,
What manner of man is this ,
that even the winds and the sea obey him !
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding .
*
So the devils besought him ,
saying ,
If thou cast us out ,
suffer us to go away into the herd of swine .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he entered into a ship ,
and passed over ,
and came into his own city .
*
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
certain of the scribes said within themselves ,
This man blasphemeth .
*
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said ,
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts ?
*
For whether is easier ,
to say ,
Thy sins be forgiven thee ;
or to say ,
Arise ,
and walk ?
*
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 .
*
And he arose ,
and departed to his house .
*
But when the multitudes saw it ,
they marvelled ,
and glorified God ,
which had given such power unto men .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And when the Pharisees saw it ,
they said unto his disciples ,
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners ?
*
But when Jesus heard that ,
he said unto them ,
They that be whole need not a physician ,
but they that are sick .
*
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 .
*
Then came to him the disciples of John ,
saying ,
Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft ,
but thy disciples fast not ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Jesus arose ,
and followed him ,
and so did his disciples .
*
And ,
behold ,
a woman ,
which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years ,
came behind him ,
and touched the hem of his garment :
*
For she said within herself ,
If I may but touch his garment ,
I shall be whole .
*
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 .
*
And when Jesus came into the ruler '
s house ,
and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise ,
*
He said unto them ,
Give place :
for the maid is not dead ,
but sleepeth .
And they laughed him to scorn .
*
But when the people were put forth ,
he went in ,
and took her by the hand ,
and the maid arose .
*
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land .
*
And when Jesus departed thence ,
two blind men followed him ,
crying ,
and saying ,
Thou Son of David ,
have mercy on us .
*
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 .
*
Then touched he their eyes ,
saying ,
According to your faith be it unto you .
*
And their eyes were opened ;
and Jesus straitly charged them ,
saying ,
See that no man know it .
*
But they ,
when they were departed ,
spread abroad his fame in all that country .
*
As they went out ,
behold ,
they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil .
*
And when the devil was cast out ,
the dumb spake :
and the multitudes marvelled ,
saying ,
It was never so seen in Israel .
*
But the Pharisees said ,
He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then saith he unto his disciples ,
The harvest truly is plenteous ,
but the labourers are few ;
*
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest ,
that he will send forth labourers into his harvest .
*
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 .
