Luke:9-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then he called his twelve disciples together ,
and gave them power and authority over all devils ,
and to cure diseases .
*
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God ,
and to heal the sick .
*
And he said unto them ,
Take nothing for your journey ,
neither staves ,
nor scrip ,
neither bread ,
neither money ;
neither have two coats apiece .
*
And whatsoever house ye enter into ,
there abide ,
and thence depart .
*
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 .
*
And they departed ,
and went through the towns ,
preaching the gospel ,
and healing every where .
*
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 ;
*
And of some ,
that Elias had appeared ;
and of others ,
that one of the old prophets was risen again .
*
And Herod said ,
John have I beheaded :
but who is this ,
of whom I hear such things ?
And he desired to see him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For they were about five thousand men .
And he said to his disciples ,
Make them sit down by fifties in a company .
*
And they did so ,
and made them all sit down .
*
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 .
*
And they did eat ,
and were all filled :
and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets .
*
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 ?
*
They answering said ,
John the Baptist ;
but some say ,
Elias ;
and others say ,
that one of the old prophets is risen again .
*
He said unto them ,
But whom say ye that I am ?
Peter answering said ,
The Christ of God .
*
And he straitly charged them ,
and commanded them to tell no man that thing ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it :
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake ,
the same shall save it .
*
For what is a man advantaged ,
if he gain the whole world ,
and lose himself ,
or be cast away ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And as he prayed ,
the fashion of his countenance was altered ,
and his raiment was white and glistering .
*
And ,
behold ,
there talked with him two men ,
which were Moses and Elias :
*
Who appeared in glory ,
and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
While he thus spake ,
there came a cloud ,
and overshadowed them :
and they feared as they entered into the cloud .
*
And there came a voice out of the cloud ,
saying ,
This is my beloved Son :
hear him .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
that on the next day ,
when they were come down from the hill ,
much people met him .
*
And ,
behold ,
a man of the company cried out ,
saying ,
Master ,
I beseech thee ,
look upon my son :
for he is mine only child .
*
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 .
*
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out ;
and they could not .
*
And Jesus answering said ,
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long shall I be with you ,
and suffer you ?
Bring thy son hither .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
Let these sayings sink down into your ears :
for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men .
*
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 .
*
Then there arose a reasoning among them ,
which of them should be greatest .
*
And Jesus ,
perceiving the thought of their heart ,
took a child ,
and set him by him ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Forbid him not :
for he that is not against us is for us .
*
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 ,
*
And sent messengers before his face :
and they went ,
and entered into a village of the Samaritans ,
to make ready for him .
*
And they did not receive him ,
because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem .
*
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 ?
*
But he turned ,
and rebuked them ,
and said ,
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of .
*
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men '
s lives ,
but to save them .
And they went to another village .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he said unto another ,
Follow me .
But he said ,
Lord ,
suffer me first to go and bury my father .
*
Jesus said unto him ,
Let the dead bury their dead :
but go thou and preach the kingdom of God .
*
And another also said ,
Lord ,
I will follow thee ;
but let me first go bid them farewell ,
which are at home at my house .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
No man ,
having put his hand to the plough ,
and looking back ,
is fit for the kingdom of God .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Go your ways :
behold ,
I send you forth as lambs among wolves .
*
Carry neither purse ,
nor scrip ,
nor shoes :
and salute no man by the way .
*
And into whatsoever house ye enter ,
first say ,
Peace be to this house .
*
And if the son of peace be there ,
your peace shall rest upon it :
if not ,
it shall turn to you again .
*
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 .
*
And into whatsoever city ye enter ,
and they receive you ,
eat such things as are set before you :
*
And heal the sick that are therein ,
and say unto them ,
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .
*
But into whatsoever city ye enter ,
and they receive you not ,
go your ways out into the streets of the same ,
and say ,
*
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 .
*
But I say unto you ,
that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom ,
than for that city .
*
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 .
*
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment ,
than for you .
*
And thou ,
Capernaum ,
which art exalted to heaven ,
shalt be thrust down to hell .
*
He that heareth you heareth me ;
and he that despiseth you despiseth me ;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me .
*
And the seventy returned again with joy ,
saying ,
Lord ,
even the devils are subject unto us through thy name .
*
And he said unto them ,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven .
*
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 .
*
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not ,
that the spirits are subject unto you ;
but rather rejoice ,
because your names are written in heaven .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he turned him unto his disciples ,
and said privately ,
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see :
*
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
a certain lawyer stood up ,
and tempted him ,
saying ,
Master ,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?
*
He said unto him ,
What is written in the law ?
how readest thou ?
*
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 .
*
And he said unto him ,
Thou hast answered right :
this do ,
and thou shalt live .
*
But he ,
willing to justify himself ,
said unto Jesus ,
And who is my neighbour ?
*
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 .
*
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way :
and when he saw him ,
he passed by on the other side .
*
And likewise a Levite ,
when he was at the place ,
came and looked on him ,
and passed by on the other side .
*
But a certain Samaritan ,
as he journeyed ,
came where he was :
and when he saw him ,
he had compassion on him ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Which now of these three ,
thinkest thou ,
was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ?
*
And he said ,
He that shewed mercy on him .
Then said Jesus unto him ,
Go ,
and do thou likewise .
*
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 .
*
And she had a sister called Mary ,
which also sat at Jesus '
feet ,
and heard his word .
*
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 .
*
And Jesus answered and said unto her ,
Martha ,
Martha ,
thou art careful and troubled about many things :
*
But one thing is needful :
and Mary hath chosen that good part ,
which shall not be taken away from her .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Give us day by day our daily bread .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me ,
and I have nothing to set before him ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For every one that asketh receiveth ;
and he that seeketh findeth ;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .
*
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 ?
*
Or if he shall ask an egg ,
will he offer him a scorpion ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
But some of them said ,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils .
*
And others ,
tempting him ,
sought of him a sign from heaven .
*
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 .
*
If Satan also be divided against himself ,
how shall his kingdom stand ?
because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub .
*
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils ,
by whom do your sons cast them out ?
therefore shall they be your judges .
*
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils ,
no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you .
*
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace ,
his goods are in peace :
*
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 .
*
He that is not with me is against me :
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth .
*
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 .
*
And when he cometh ,
he findeth it swept and garnished .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But he said ,
Yea rather ,
blessed are they that hear the word of God ,
and keep it .
*
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 .
*
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites ,
so shall also the Son of man be to this generation .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness .
*
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 .
*
And as he spake ,
a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him :
and he went in ,
and sat down to meat .
*
And when the Pharisee saw it ,
he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner .
*
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 .
*
Ye fools ,
did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also ?
*
But rather give alms of such things as ye have ;
and ,
behold ,
all things are clean unto you .
*
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 .
*
Woe unto you ,
Pharisees !
for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues ,
and greetings in the markets .
*
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 .
*
Then answered one of the lawyers ,
and said unto him ,
Master ,
thus saying thou reproachest us also .
*
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 .
*
Woe unto you !
for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets ,
and your fathers killed them .
*
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers :
for they indeed killed them ,
and ye build their sepulchres .
*
Therefore also said the wisdom of God ,
I will send them prophets and apostles ,
and some of them they shall slay and persecute :
*
That the blood of all the prophets ,
which was shed from the foundation of the world ,
may be required of this generation ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
Laying wait for him ,
and seeking to catch something out of his mouth ,
that they might accuse him .
*
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 .
*
And he spake a parable unto them ,
saying ,
The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully :
*
And he thought within himself ,
saying ,
What shall I do ,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself ,
and is not rich toward God .
*
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 .
*
The life is more than meat ,
and the body is more than raiment .
*
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 ?
*
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit ?
*
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least ,
why take ye thought for the rest ?
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And seek not ye what ye shall eat ,
or what ye shall drink ,
neither be ye of doubtful mind .
*
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after :
and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things .
*
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ;
and all these things shall be added unto you .
*
Fear not ,
little flock ;
for it is your Father '
s good pleasure to give you the kingdom .
*
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 .
*
For where your treasure is ,
there will your heart be also .
*
Let your loins be girded about ,
and your lights burning ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And if he shall come in the second watch ,
or come in the third watch ,
and find them so ,
blessed are those servants .
*
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 .
*
Be ye therefore ready also :
for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not .
*
Then Peter said unto him ,
Lord ,
speakest thou this parable unto us ,
or even to all ?
*
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 ?
*
Blessed is that servant ,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing .
*
Of a truth I say unto you ,
that he will make him ruler over all that he hath .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
I am come to send fire on the earth ;
and what will I ,
if it be already kindled ?
*
But I have a baptism to be baptized with ;
and how am I straitened till it be accomplished !
*
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth ?
I tell you ,
Nay ;
but rather division :
*
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided ,
three against two ,
and two against three .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And when ye see the south wind blow ,
ye say ,
There will be heat ;
and it cometh to pass .
*
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 ?
*
Yea ,
and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right ?
*
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 .
*
I tell thee ,
thou shalt not depart thence ,
till thou hast paid the very last mite .
*
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans ,
whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices .
*
And Jesus answering said unto them ,
Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans ,
because they suffered such things ?
*
I tell you ,
Nay :
but ,
except ye repent ,
ye shall all likewise perish .
*
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 ?
*
I tell you ,
Nay :
but ,
except ye repent ,
ye shall all likewise perish .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
And he answering said unto him ,
Lord ,
let it alone this year also ,
till I shall dig about it ,
and dung it :
*
And if it bear fruit ,
well :
and if not ,
then after that thou shalt cut it down .
*
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath .
*
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 .
*
And when Jesus saw her ,
he called her to him ,
and said unto her ,
Woman ,
thou art loosed from thine infirmity .
*
And he laid his hands on her :
and immediately she was made straight ,
and glorified God .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
Then said he ,
Unto what is the kingdom of God like ?
and whereunto shall I resemble it ?
*
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 .
*
And again he said ,
Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ?
*
It is like leaven ,
which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal ,
till the whole was leavened .
*
And he went through the cities and villages ,
teaching ,
and journeying toward Jerusalem .
*
Then said one unto him ,
Lord ,
are there few that be saved ?
And he said unto them ,
*
Strive to enter in at the strait gate :
for many ,
I say unto you ,
will seek to enter in ,
and shall not be able .
*
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 :
*
Then shall ye begin to say ,
We have eaten and drunk in thy presence ,
and thou hast taught in our streets .
*
But he shall say ,
I tell you ,
I know you not whence ye are ;
depart from me ,
all ye workers of iniquity .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
there are last which shall be first ,
and there are first which shall be last .
*
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees ,
saying unto him ,
Get thee out ,
and depart hence :
for Herod will kill thee .
*
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 .
*
Nevertheless I must walk to day ,
and to morrow ,
and the day following :
for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem .
*
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 !
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy .
*
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees ,
saying ,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day ?
*
And they held their peace .
And he took him ,
and healed him ,
and let him go ;
*
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 ?
*
And they could not answer him again to these things .
*
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden ,
when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms ;
saying unto them ,
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased ;
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted .
*
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 .
*
But when thou makest a feast ,
call the poor ,
the maimed ,
the lame ,
the blind :
*
And thou shalt be blessed ;
for they cannot recompense thee :
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just .
*
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 .
*
Then said he unto him ,
A certain man made a great supper ,
and bade many :
*
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden ,
Come ;
for all things are now ready .
*
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 .
*
And another said ,
I have bought five yoke of oxen ,
and I go to prove them :
I pray thee have me excused .
*
And another said ,
I have married a wife ,
and therefore I cannot come .
*
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 .
*
And the servant said ,
Lord ,
it is done as thou hast commanded ,
and yet there is room .
*
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 .
*
For I say unto you ,
That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper .
*
And there went great multitudes with him :
and he turned ,
and said unto them ,
*
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 .
*
And whosoever doth not bear his cross ,
and come after me ,
cannot be my disciple .
*
For which of you ,
intending to build a tower ,
sitteth not down first ,
and counteth the cost ,
whether he have sufficient to finish it ?
*
Lest haply ,
after he hath laid the foundation ,
and is not able to finish it ,
all that behold it begin to mock him ,
*
Saying ,
This man began to build ,
and was not able to finish .
*
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 ?
*
Or else ,
while the other is yet a great way off ,
he sendeth an ambassage ,
and desireth conditions of peace .
*
So likewise ,
whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath ,
he cannot be my disciple .
*
Salt is good :
but if the salt have lost his savour ,
wherewith shall it be seasoned ?
*
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 .
*
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him .
*
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured ,
saying ,
This man receiveth sinners ,
and eateth with them .
*
And he spake this parable unto them ,
saying ,
*
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 ?
*
And when he hath found it ,
he layeth it on his shoulders ,
rejoicing .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
Likewise ,
I say unto you ,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth .
*
And he said ,
A certain man had two sons :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And when he had spent all ,
there arose a mighty famine in that land ;
and he began to be in want .
*
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country ;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine .
*
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat :
and no man gave unto him .
*
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 !
*
I will arise and go to my father ,
and will say unto him ,
Father ,
I have sinned against heaven ,
and before thee ,
*
And am no more worthy to be called thy son :
make me as one of thy hired servants .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
And bring hither the fatted calf ,
and kill it ;
and let us eat ,
and be merry :
*
For this my son was dead ,
and is alive again ;
he was lost ,
and is found .
And they began to be merry .
*
Now his elder son was in the field :
and as he came and drew nigh to the house ,
he heard musick and dancing .
*
And he called one of the servants ,
and asked what these things meant .
*
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 .
*
And he was angry ,
and would not go in :
therefore came his father out ,
and intreated him .
*
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 :
*
But as soon as this thy son was come ,
which hath devoured thy living with harlots ,
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf .
*
And he said unto him ,
Son ,
thou art ever with me ,
and all that I have is thine .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
I am resolved what to do ,
that ,
when I am put out of the stewardship ,
they may receive me into their houses .
*
So he called every one of his lord '
s debtors unto him ,
and said unto the first ,
How much owest thou unto my lord ?
*
And he said ,
An hundred measures of oil .
And he said unto him ,
Take thy bill ,
and sit down quickly ,
and write fifty .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon ,
who will commit to your trust the true riches ?
*
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man '
s ,
who shall give you that which is your own ?
*
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 .
*
And the Pharisees also ,
who were covetous ,
heard all these things :
and they derided him .
*
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 .
*
The law and the prophets were until John :
since that time the kingdom of God is preached ,
and every man presseth into it .
*
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass ,
than one tittle of the law to fail .
*
Whosoever putteth away his wife ,
and marrieth another ,
committeth adultery :
and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery .
*
There was a certain rich man ,
which was clothed in purple and fine linen ,
and fared sumptuously every day :
*
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus ,
which was laid at his gate ,
full of sores ,
*
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man '
s table :
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores .
*
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 ;
*
And in hell he lift up his eyes ,
being in torments ,
and seeth Abraham afar off ,
and Lazarus in his bosom .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then he said ,
I pray thee therefore ,
father ,
that thou wouldest send him to my father '
s house :
*
For I have five brethren ;
that he may testify unto them ,
lest they also come into this place of torment .
*
Abraham saith unto him ,
They have Moses and the prophets ;
let them hear them .
*
And he said ,
Nay ,
father Abraham :
but if one went unto them from the dead ,
they will repent .
*
And he said unto him ,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets ,
neither will they be persuaded ,
though one rose from the dead .
*
Then said he unto the disciples ,
It is impossible but that offences will come :
but woe unto him ,
through whom they come !
*
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 .
*
Take heed to yourselves :
If thy brother trespass against thee ,
rebuke him ;
and if he repent ,
forgive him .
*
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 .
*
And the apostles said unto the Lord ,
Increase our faith .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ?
*
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him ?
I trow not .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he went to Jerusalem ,
that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee .
*
And as he entered into a certain village ,
there met him ten men that were lepers ,
which stood afar off :
*
And they lifted up their voices ,
and said ,
Jesus ,
Master ,
have mercy on us .
*
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 .
*
And one of them ,
when he saw that he was healed ,
turned back ,
and with a loud voice glorified God ,
*
And fell down on his face at his feet ,
giving him thanks :
and he was a Samaritan .
*
And Jesus answering said ,
Were there not ten cleansed ?
but where are the nine ?
*
There are not found that returned to give glory to God ,
save this stranger .
*
And he said unto him ,
Arise ,
go thy way :
thy faith hath made thee whole .
*
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 :
*
Neither shall they say ,
Lo here !
or ,
lo there !
for ,
behold ,
the kingdom of God is within you .
*
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 .
*
And they shall say to you ,
See here ;
or ,
see there :
go not after them ,
nor follow them .
*
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 .
*
But first must he suffer many things ,
and be rejected of this generation .
*
And as it was in the days of Noe ,
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man .
*
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 .
*
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ;
they did eat ,
they drank ,
they bought ,
they sold ,
they planted ,
they builded ;
*
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven ,
and destroyed them all .
*
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed .
*
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 .
*
Remember Lot '
s wife .
*
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it ;
and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it .
*
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 .
*
Two women shall be grinding together ;
the one shall be taken ,
and the other left .
*
Two men shall be in the field ;
the one shall be taken ,
and the other left .
*
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 .
*
And he spake a parable unto them to this end ,
that men ought always to pray ,
and not to faint ;
*
Saying ,
There was in a city a judge ,
which feared not God ,
neither regarded man :
*
And there was a widow in that city ;
and she came unto him ,
saying ,
Avenge me of mine adversary .
*
And he would not for a while :
but afterward he said within himself ,
Though I fear not God ,
nor regard man ;
*
Yet because this widow troubleth me ,
I will avenge her ,
lest by her continual coming she weary me .
*
And the Lord said ,
Hear what the unjust judge saith .
*
And shall not God avenge his own elect ,
which cry day and night unto him ,
though he bear long with them ?
*
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily .
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh ,
shall he find faith on the earth ?
*
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous ,
and despised others :
*
Two men went up into the temple to pray ;
the one a Pharisee ,
and the other a publican .
*
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 .
*
I fast twice in the week ,
I give tithes of all that I possess .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And they brought unto him also infants ,
that he would touch them :
but when his disciples saw it ,
they rebuked them .
*
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 .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein .
*
And a certain ruler asked him ,
saying ,
Good Master ,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Why callest thou me good ?
none is good ,
save one ,
that is ,
God .
*
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 .
*
And he said ,
All these have I kept from my youth up .
*
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 .
*
And when he heard this ,
he was very sorrowful :
for he was very rich .
*
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful ,
he said ,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God !
*
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 .
*
And they that heard it said ,
Who then can be saved ?
*
And he said ,
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God .
*
Then Peter said ,
Lo ,
we have left all ,
and followed thee .
*
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 ,
*
Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time ,
and in the world to come life everlasting .
*
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 .
*
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles ,
and shall be mocked ,
and spitefully entreated ,
and spitted on :
*
And they shall scourge him ,
and put him to death :
and the third day he shall rise again .
*
And they understood none of these things :
and this saying was hid from them ,
neither knew they the things which were spoken .
*
And it came to pass ,
that as he was come nigh unto Jericho ,
a certain blind man sat by the way side begging :
*
And hearing the multitude pass by ,
he asked what it meant .
*
And they told him ,
that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by .
*
And he cried ,
saying ,
Jesus ,
thou Son of David ,
have mercy on me .
*
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 .
*
And Jesus stood ,
and commanded him to be brought unto him :
and when he was come near ,
he asked him ,
*
Saying ,
What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee ?
And he said ,
Lord ,
that I may receive my sight .
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Receive thy sight :
thy faith hath saved thee .
*
And immediately he received his sight ,
and followed him ,
glorifying God :
and all the people ,
when they saw it ,
gave praise unto God .
*
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho .
