1:1The book of the generationof Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 1:2Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaacbegat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 1:3And Judas begat Phares and Zara ofThamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 1:4And Aram begat Aminadab; andAminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 1:5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab;and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 1:6And Jesse begat David the king;and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife ofUrias; 1:7And Solomon begatRoboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 1:8And Asa begat Josaphat; andJosaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 1:9And Ozias begat Joatham; andJoatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 1:10And Ezekias begat Manasses; andManasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 1:11And Josias begat Jechonias andhis brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 1:12And after they were brought toBabylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 1:13And Zorobabel begat Abiud; andAbiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 1:14And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadocbegat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 1:15And Eliud begat Eleazar; andEleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 1:16And Jacob begat Joseph thehusband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 1:17So all the generations fromAbraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until thecarrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from thecarrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
1:18Now the birth of JesusChrist 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. 1:19Then Joseph her husband,being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example,was minded to put her away privily. 1:20But while he thought on thesethings, 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 thywife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 1:21And she shall bring forth a son,and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people fromtheir sins. 1:22Now all thiswas done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by theprophet, saying, 1:23Behold,a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shallcall his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 1:24Then Joseph being raised fromsleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him hiswife: 1:25And knew her nottill she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
2:1Now when Jesus was bornin Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there camewise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2:2Saying, Where is he that is bornKing of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come toworship him. 2:3When Herodthe king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalemwith him. 2:4And when he hadgathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, hedemanded of them where Christ should be born. 2:5And they said unto him, InBethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 2:6And thou Bethlehem, in the land ofJuda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shallcome a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 2:7Then Herod, when he had privilycalled the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the starappeared. 2:8And he sent themto Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; andwhen ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come andworship him also. 2:9Whenthey had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they sawin the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the youngchild was. 2:10When they sawthe star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
2:11And when they werecome into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, andfell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures,they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 2:12And being warned of God in adream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their owncountry another way. 2:13Andwhen they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Josephin a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, andflee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod willseek the young child to destroy him. 2:14When he arose, he took the youngchild and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 2:15And was there until the death ofHerod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by theprophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
2:16Then Herod, when hesaw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sentforth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all thecoasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time whichhe had diligently enquired of the wise men. 2:17Then was fulfilled that which wasspoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 2:18In Rama was there a voice heard,lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping forher children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
2:19But when Herod wasdead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph inEgypt, 2:20Saying, Arise, andtake the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: forthey are dead which sought the young child’s life. 2:21And he arose, and took the youngchild and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 2:22But when he heard that Archelausdid reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to gothither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned asideinto the parts of Galilee: 2:23And he came and dwelt in a citycalled Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by theprophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
3:1In those days came Johnthe Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 3:2And saying, Repent ye: for thekingdom of heaven is at hand. 3:3For this is he that was spoken ofby the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3:4And the same John had his raimentof camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat waslocusts and wild honey. 3:5Then went out to him Jerusalem,and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 3:6And were baptized of him inJordan, confessing their sins.
3:7But when he saw many ofthe Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, Ogeneration of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8Bring forth thereforefruits meet for repentance: 3:9And think not to say withinyourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, thatGod is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 3:10And now also the axe is laid untothe root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth goodfruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 3:11I indeed baptize you with waterunto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whoseshoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,and with fire: 3:12Whose fan is in his hand,and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into thegarner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
3:13Then cometh Jesus fromGalilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 3:14But John forbad him, saying, Ihave need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 3:15And Jesus answering said untohim, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomethus to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 3:16And Jesus, when he was baptized,went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were openedunto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, andlighting upon him: 3:17And loa voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am wellpleased.
4:1Then was Jesus led upof the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
4:2And when he had fasted forty daysand forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
4:3And when the tempter came to him,he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be madebread.
4:4But he answered andsaid, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
4:5Then the devil taketh him up intothe holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
4:6And saith unto him, If thou be theSon of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angelscharge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
4:7Jesus said unto him,
4:12Now when Jesus hadheard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
4:13And leaving Nazareth, he came anddwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulonand Nephthalim:
4:14That itmight be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
4:15The land of Zabulon, and the landof Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of theGentiles;
4:16The peoplewhich sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the regionand shadow of death light is sprung up.
4:17From that time Jesus began topreach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven isat hand.
4:18And Jesus, walking by the sea ofGalilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
4:19And he saith unto them,
4:23And Jesus went aboutall Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of thekingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of diseaseamong the people.
4:24And hisfame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick peoplethat were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which werepossessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that hadthe palsy; and he healed them.
4:25And there followed him greatmultitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, andfrom Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyondJordan.
5:1And seeing themultitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciplescame unto him:
5:2And heopened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
5:3Blessed arethe poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:4Blessed arethey that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5Blessed arethe meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6Blessed arethey which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall befilled.
5:7
5:13Ye are the saltof the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it besalted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to betrodden under foot of men.
5:14Ye are the lightof the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
5:15Neither do menlight a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and itgiveth light unto all that are in the house.
5:16Let your light soshine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify yourFather which is in heaven.
5:17Think not that Iam come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, butto fulfil.
5:18
5:21Ye have heardthat it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoevershall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
5:22But I say untoyou, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be indanger 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.
5:23Therefore if thoubring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hathought against thee;
5:24Leave there thygift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother,and then come and offer thy gift.
5:25Agree with thineadversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any timethe adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to theofficer, and thou be cast into prison.
5:26Verily I say untothee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid theuttermost farthing.
5:27Ye have heardthat it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
5:28
5:33Again, ye haveheard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswearthyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
5:34But I say untoyou, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
5:35
5:38Ye have heardthat it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
5:39
5:43Ye have heardthat it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thineenemy.
5:44
6:1Take heed that yedo not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have noreward of your Father which is in heaven.
6:2Therefore whenthou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as thehypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may haveglory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:3Butwhen thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right handdoeth:
6:4
6:5And when thouprayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love topray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, thatthey may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6Butthou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shutthy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father whichseeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
6:7But when ye pray,use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think thatthey shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8Be not yetherefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have needof, before ye ask him.
6:9After this mannertherefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
6:10
6:16Moreover when yefast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfiguretheir faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you,They have their reward.
6:17But thou, whenthou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
6:18That thou appearnot unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thyFather, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
6:19Lay not up foryourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, andwhere thieves break through and steal:
6:20But lay up foryourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
6:21For where yourtreasure is, there will your heart be also.
6:22The light of thebody is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall befull of light.
6:23But if thine eyebe evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the lightthat is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
6:24No man can servetwo masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or elsehe will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God andmammon.
6:25
7:1Judge not, that yebe not judged.
7:2For with whatjudgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, itshall be measured to you again.
7:3And why beholdestthou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beamthat is in thine own eye?
7:4Or how wilt thousay to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and,behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
7:5Thou hypocrite,first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou seeclearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
7:6Give not thatwhich 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.
7:7Ask, and it shallbe given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened untoyou:
7:8
7:13Enter ye in atthe strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14
7:15Beware of falseprophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they areravening wolves.
7:16Ye shall knowthem by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
7:17
7:21Not every onethat 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.
7:22Many will say tome in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thyname have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23
7:24Thereforewhosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken himunto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25And the raindescended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon thathouse; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26And every onethat heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likenedunto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27And the raindescended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon thathouse; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28And it came to pass, when Jesushad ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
7:29For he taught them asone having authority, and not as the scribes.
8:1When he was come downfrom the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
8:2And, behold, there came a leperand worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
8:3And Jesus put forthhis hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thouclean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
8:4And Jesus saith unto him,
8:5And when Jesus was entered intoCapernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
8:6And saying, Lord, my servant liethat home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
8:7And Jesus saith unto him,
8:14And when Jesus was come intoPeter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
8:15And he touched her hand,and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
8:16When the even wascome, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and hecast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
8:17That it might befulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took ourinfirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
8:18Now when Jesus sawgreat multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the otherside.
8:19And a certainscribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoeverthou goest.
8:20And Jesussaith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of theair have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay hishead.
8:21And anotherof his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury myfather.
8:22But Jesus saidunto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
8:23And when he was entered into aship, his disciples followed him.
8:24And, behold, there arose a greattempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: buthe was asleep.
8:25And hisdisciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: weperish.
8:26And he saith untothem, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then hearose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
8:27But the menmarvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and thesea obey him!
8:28And when he was cometo the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him twopossessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so thatno man might pass by that way.
8:29And, behold, they cried out,saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thoucome hither to torment us before the time?
8:30And there was a good way off fromthem an herd of many swine feeding.
8:31So the devils besought him,saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
8:32And he said unto them,Go. And when they were come out, they went into theherd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down asteep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
8:33And they that kept them fled, andwent their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallento the possessed of the devils.
8:34And, behold, the whole city cameout to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that hewould depart out of their coasts.
9:1And he entered into aship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
9:2And, behold, they brought to him aman sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith saidunto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thysins be forgiven thee.
9:3And, behold, certain of thescribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
9:4And Jesus knowing their thoughtssaid, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
9:5Forwhether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say,Arise, and walk?
9:6But that ye mayknow that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (thensaith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thybed, and go unto thine house.
9:7And he arose, and departed to hishouse.
9:8But when themultitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which hadgiven such power unto men.
9:9And as Jesus passedforth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt ofcustom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And hearose, and followed him.
9:10And it came to pass,as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners cameand sat down with him and his disciples.
9:11And when the Pharisees sawit, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master withpublicans and sinners?
9:12But when Jesus heard that,he said unto them, They that be whole need not aphysician, but they that are sick.
9:13But go ye andlearn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: forI am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
9:14Then came to him the disciples ofJohn, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fastnot?
9:15And Jesus said untothem, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as longas the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when thebridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
9:16Noman putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which isput in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
9:17
9:18While he spake these things untothem, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, Mydaughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and sheshall live.
9:19And Jesusarose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
9:20And, behold, a woman,which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behindhim, and touched the hem of his garment:
9:21For she said within herself, If Imay but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
9:22But Jesus turned him about, andwhen he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort;thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole fromthat hour.
9:23And when Jesuscame into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people makinga noise,
9:24He said untothem, Give place: for the maid is not dead, butsleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
9:25But when the people were putforth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
9:26And the fame hereof went abroadinto all that land.
9:27And when Jesusdeparted thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying,Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
9:28And when he was come into thehouse, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,
9:32As they went out,behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
9:33And when the devil was cast out,the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seenin Israel.
9:34But thePharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
9:35And Jesus went about allthe cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching thegospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease amongthe people.
9:36But when he saw themultitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted,and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
9:37Then saith he unto his disciples,The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourersare few;
9:38Pray ye thereforethe Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into hisharvest.
10:1And when he had called untohim his twelve disciples, he gave them power against uncleanspirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and allmanner of disease.
10:2Nowthe names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who iscalled Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, andJohn his brother;
10:3Philip,and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son ofAlphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
10:4Simon the Canaanite, and JudasIscariot, who also betrayed him.
10:5These twelve Jesus sent forth,and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of theGentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
10:6
10:16Behold, I sendyou forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise asserpents, and harmless as doves.
10:17But beware ofmen: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourgeyou in their synagogues;
10:18And ye shall bebrought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony againstthem and the Gentiles.
10:19But when theydeliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shallbe given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
10:20For it is not yethat speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
10:21
10:40He thatreceiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him thatsent me.
10:41
11:1And it came to pass, when Jesushad made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence toteach and to preach in their cities.
11:2Now when John had heard in theprison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
11:3And said unto him, Art thou hethat should come, or do we look for another?
11:4Jesus answered and said untothem, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hearand see:
11:5
11:7And as they departed, Jesus beganto say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went yeout into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
11:8
11:16But whereuntoshall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in themarkets, and calling unto their fellows,
11:17And saying, Wehave piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, andye have not lamented.
11:18For John cameneither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
11:19The Son of mancame eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and awinebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified ofher children.
11:20Then began he to upbraid thecities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repentednot:
11:21Woeunto 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 haverepented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
11:22But I say untoyou, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment,than for you.
11:23And 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 inSodom, it would have remained until this day.
11:24But I say untoyou, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day ofjudgment, than for thee.
11:25At that time Jesus answered andsaid, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hastrevealed them unto babes.
11:26Even so, Father:for so it seemed good in thy sight.
11:27All things aredelivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but theFather; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he towhomsoever the Son will reveal him.
11:28Come unto me,all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
11:29
12:1At that time Jesus went on thesabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and beganto pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
12:2But when the Pharisees sawit, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is notlawful to do upon the sabbath day.
12:3But he said unto them,
12:10And, behold, therewas 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.
12:11And he said unto them,What man shall there be among you, that shall have onesheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay holdon it, and lift it out?
12:12How much then isa man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on thesabbath days.
12:13Then saith he to the man,
12:14Then the Phariseeswent out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
12:15But when Jesus knewit, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followedhim, and he healed them all;
12:16And charged them that theyshould not make him known:
12:17That it might be fulfilled whichwas spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
12:18Behold my servant, whom I havechosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spiritupon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
12:19He shall not strive, nor cry;neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
12:20A bruised reed shall he notbreak, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgmentunto victory.
12:21And in hisname shall the Gentiles trust.
12:22Then was brought untohim one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him,insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
12:23And all the people were amazed,and said, Is not this the son of David?
12:24But when the Pharisees heardit, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but byBeelzebub the prince of the devils.
12:25And Jesus knew their thoughts,and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itselfis brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itselfshall not stand:
12:26And if Satancast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdomstand?
12:27
12:31Wherefore I sayunto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: butthe blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgivenunto men.
12:32
12:38Then certain of the scribes andof the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
12:39But he answered and saidunto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh aftera sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of theprophet Jonas:
12:40For as Jonas wasthree days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son ofman be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
12:41
12:46While he yet talked to thepeople, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiringto speak with him.
12:47Thenone said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without,desiring to speak with thee.
12:48But he answered and said untohim that told him, Who is my mother? and who are mybrethren?
12:49And hestretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,
13:1The same day went Jesus out ofthe house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2And great multitudes weregathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and thewhole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3And he spake many things untothem in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth tosow;
13:4
13:18Hear yetherefore the parable of the sower.
13:19When any oneheareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, thencometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in hisheart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
13:20But he thatreceived the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word,and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21Yet hath he notroot in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation orpersecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
13:22
13:24Another parable put he forthunto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto aman which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25But while menslept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
13:26
13:31Another parable put he forthunto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to agrain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
13:32
13:33Another parable spake he untothem; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which awoman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole wasleavened.
13:34Allthese things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without aparable spake he not unto them:
13:35That it might be fulfilled whichwas spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; Iwill utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of theworld.
13:36Then Jesus sentthe multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came untohim, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
13:37He answered and saidunto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38
13:44Again, thekingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when aman hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all thathe hath, and buyeth that field.
13:45Again, thekingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46
13:47Again, thekingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, andgathered of every kind:
13:48Which, when itwas full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good intovessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49So shall it beat the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wickedfrom among the just,
13:50And shall castthem into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing ofteeth.
13:51Jesussaith unto them, Have ye understood all thesethings? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
13:52Then said he unto them,
13:53And it came to pass, thatwhen Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
13:54And when he was come into hisown country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they wereastonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, andthese mighty works?
13:55Is not this the carpenter’sson? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses,and Simon, and Judas?
13:56And his sisters, are they notall with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
13:57And 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.
13:58And he did not many mighty worksthere because of their unbelief.
14:1At that time Herod thetetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
14:2And said unto his servants, Thisis John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty worksdo shew forth themselves in him.
14:3For Herod had laidhold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
14:4For John said unto him, It is notlawful for thee to have her.
14:5And when he would have put him todeath, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
14:6But when Herod’sbirthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, andpleased Herod.
14:7Whereuponhe promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
14:8And she, being before instructedof her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
14:9And 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.
14:10And he sent, and beheaded Johnin the prison.
14:11And hishead was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she broughtit to her mother.
14:12And his disciples came, and tookup the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
14:13When Jesus heardof it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: andwhen the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out ofthe cities.
14:14And Jesuswent forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassiontoward them, and he healed their sick.
14:15And when it wasevening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, andthe time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into thevillages, and buy themselves victuals.
14:16But Jesus said unto them,
14:22And straightway Jesusconstrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him untothe other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
14:23And when he had sent themultitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when theevening was come, he was there alone.
14:24But the ship was now in themidst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
14:25And in the fourth watch of thenight Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
14:26And when the disciples saw himwalking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and theycried out for fear.
14:27Butstraightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of goodcheer; it is I; be not afraid.
14:28And Peter answered him and said,Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
14:29And he said,
14:34And when they weregone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
14:35And when the men of that placehad knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, andbrought unto him all that were diseased;
14:36And besought him that they mightonly touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were madeperfectly whole.
15:1Then came to Jesusscribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
15:2Why do thy disciples transgressthe tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eatbread.
15:3But he answeredand said unto them, Why do ye also transgress thecommandment of God by your tradition?
15:4For Godcommanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that cursethfather or mother, let him die the death.
15:5But ye say,Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, Itis a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
15:6
15:10And he called the multitude, andsaid unto them, Hear, and understand:
15:11Not that whichgoeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of themouth, this defileth a man.
15:12Then came his disciples, andsaid unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after theyheard this saying?
15:13Buthe answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenlyFather hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
15:14Let them alone:they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, bothshall fall into the ditch.
15:15Then answered Peter and saidunto him, Declare unto us this parable.
15:16And Jesus said,
15:21Then Jesus went thence, anddeparted into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
15:22And, behold, a woman of Canaancame 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 adevil.
15:23But he answeredher not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send heraway; for she crieth after us.
15:24But he answered and said,
15:32Then Jesus called hisdisciples unto him, and said, I have compassion onthe multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and havenothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint inthe way.
15:33And hisdisciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in thewilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
15:34And Jesus saith unto them,
16:1The Pharisees alsowith the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew thema sign from heaven.
16:2Heanswered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say,It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
16:3And in themorning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red andlowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; butcan ye not discern the signs of the times?
16:4A wicked andadulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign begiven unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them,and departed.
16:5And whenhis disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to takebread.
16:6Then Jesus said untothem, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Phariseesand of the Sadducees.
16:7And they reasoned amongthemselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
16:8Which when Jesusperceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, whyreason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
16:9Doye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the fivethousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
16:10Neither theseven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
16:11
16:13When Jesus came intothe coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,
16:21From that time forthbegan Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go untoJerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests andscribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
16:22Then Peter took him, and beganto rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be untothee.
16:23But he turned, andsaid unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art anoffence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, butthose that be of men.
16:24Then said Jesus unto hisdisciples, If any man will come after me, let himdeny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
16:25For whosoeverwill save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for mysake shall find it.
16:26For what is aman profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? orwhat shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
16:27For the Son ofman shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then heshall reward every man according to his works.
16:28Verily I sayunto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death,till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
17:1And after six days Jesus takethPeter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an highmountain apart,
17:2And wastransfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and hisraiment was white as the light.
17:3And, behold, there appeared untothem Moses and Elias talking with him.
17:4Then answered Peter, and saidunto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us makehere three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one forElias.
17:5While he yetspake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out ofthe cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;hear ye him.
17:6And when thedisciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
17:7And Jesus came andtouched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
17:8And when they hadlifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
17:9And as they came down from themountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision tono man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
17:10And his disciples asked him,saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
17:11And Jesus answered and said untothem, Elias truly shall first come, and restore allthings.
17:12
17:14And when they werecome to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneelingdown to him, and saying,
17:15Lord, have mercy on my son: forhe is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, andoft into the water.
17:16AndI brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17Then Jesus answered and said,O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I bewith you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
17:18And Jesus rebukedthe devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from thatvery hour.
17:19Then came thedisciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
17:20And Jesus said unto them,
17:22And while they abode in Galilee,Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayedinto the hands of men:
17:23And they shall kill him, and thethird day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
17:24And when they werecome to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter,and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
17:25He saith, Yes. And when he wascome into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, Whatthinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom ortribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
17:26Peter saith unto him, Ofstrangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the childrenfree.
17:27
18:1At the same time came thedisciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom ofheaven?
18:2And Jesus calleda little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
18:3And said, VerilyI say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, yeshall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4Whosoevertherefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatestin the kingdom of heaven.
18:5And whoso shallreceive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
18:6But whoso shalloffend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better forhim that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he weredrowned in the depth of the sea.
18:7Woe unto theworld because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; butwoe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
18:8Wherefore if thyhand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them fromthee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather thanhaving two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
18:9
18:15Moreover if thybrother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault betweenthee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
18:16
18:21Then came Peter to him, andsaid, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?till seven times?
18:22Jesussaith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:but, Until seventy times seven.
18:23Therefore is thekingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account ofhis servants.
18:24And when he hadbegun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousandtalents.
18:25
19:1And it came to pass, thatwhen Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and cameinto the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
19:2And great multitudes followedhim; and he healed them there.
19:3The Pharisees alsocame unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a manto put away his wife for every cause?
19:4And he answered and said untothem, Have ye not read, that he which made them atthe beginning made them male and female,
19:5And said, Forthis cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to hiswife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
19:6Wherefore theyare no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together,let not man put asunder.
19:7They say unto him, Why did Mosesthen command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
19:8He saith unto them,
19:10His disciples say unto him, Ifthe case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
19:11But he said unto them,All men cannot receive this saying, savethey to whom it is given.
19:12For there aresome eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: andthere are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there beeunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’ssake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
19:13Then were there brought unto himlittle children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray:and the disciples rebuked them.
19:14But Jesus said,
19:16And, behold, one cameand said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I mayhave eternal life?
19:17Andhe said unto him, Why callest thou me good? thereis none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter intolife, keep the commandments.
19:18He saith unto him, Which? Jesussaid, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commitadultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19:19
19:23Then said Jesus untohis disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich manshall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24And again I sayunto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, thanfor a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
19:25When his disciples heardit, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
19:26But Jesus beheldthem, and said unto them, With men this isimpossible; but with God all things are possible.
19:27Then answered Peter and saidunto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall wehave therefore?
19:28AndJesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye whichhave followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in thethrone of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging thetwelve tribes of Israel.
19:29And every onethat hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive anhundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
19:30But many thatare first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
20:1For the kingdomof heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went outearly in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2And when he hadagreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into hisvineyard.
20:3
20:17And Jesus going up to Jerusalemtook the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
20:18Behold, we go upto Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priestsand unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
20:19And shalldeliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucifyhim: and the third day he shall rise again.
20:20Then came to him the mother ofZebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring acertain thing of him.
20:21And he said unto her,
20:30And, behold, twoblind 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.
20:31And the multituderebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried themore, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
20:32And Jesus stood still, andcalled them, and said, What will ye that I shall do untoyou?
20:33They sayunto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34So Jesus had compassion onthem, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes receivedsight, and they followed him.
21:1And when they drewnigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives,then sent Jesus two disciples,
21:2Saying unto them,
21:12And Jesus went intothe temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in thetemple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats ofthem that sold doves,
21:13And said unto them,
21:17And he left them, and went outof the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
21:18Now in the morning as hereturned into the city, he hungered.
21:19And when he saw a fig tree inthe way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, andsaid unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
21:20And when the disciples sawit, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21:21Jesus answered and saidunto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, anddoubt 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 thoucast into the sea; it shall be done.
21:22And all things,whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
21:23And when he was come into thetemple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as hewas teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and whogave thee this authority?
21:24And Jesus answered and said untothem, 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.
21:25
21:28But what thinkye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said,Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29He answered andsaid, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
21:30And he came tothe second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir:and went not.
21:31Whether of themtwain did the will of his father? They say unto him, Thefirst. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, Thatthe publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
21:32
21:33Hear anotherparable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, andhedged 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:
21:34And when thetime of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, thatthey might receive the fruits of it.
21:35And thehusbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stonedanother.
21:36
22:1And Jesus answered andspake unto them again by parables, and said,
22:2The kingdom ofheaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
22:3
22:11And when theking came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on awedding garment:
22:12And he saithunto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?And he was speechless.
22:13Then said theking to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and casthim into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing ofteeth.
22:14
22:15Then went the Pharisees, andtook counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
22:16And they sent out unto him theirdisciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true,and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for anyman: for thou regardest not the person of men.
22:17Tell us therefore, What thinkestthou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
22:18But Jesus perceived theirwickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, yehypocrites?
22:19
22:23The same day came tohim the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
22:24Saying, Master, Mosessaid, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife,and raise up seed unto his brother.
22:25Now there were with us sevenbrethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, havingno issue, left his wife unto his brother:
22:26Likewise the second also, andthe third, unto the seventh.
22:27And last of all the woman diedalso.
22:28Therefore in theresurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
22:29Jesus answered and saidunto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor thepower of God.
22:30For in theresurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as theangels of God in heaven.
22:31But as touchingthe resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken untoyou by God, saying,
22:32I am the God ofAbraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God ofthe dead, but of the living.
22:33And when the multitude heardthis, they were astonished at his doctrine.
22:34But when thePharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they weregathered together.
22:35Thenone of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,tempting him, and saying,
