#chc ,,introduction ,the happy thought of this volume was suggested by the incidental reading of this fact1 in the life of ,,john ,,quincy ,,adams3 ,he was one day engaged in his usual study of the ,new ,testament1 7a practice he kept up daily throughout life1 even amid the most urgent ,state duties17 when being particularly impressed by some words of ,jesus1 he conceived the idea of abstracting all his words from the body of the sacred text1 that he might see them in their unity and wholeness4 ,he immediately procured a suitable blank book1 and beginning with the first ,gospel1 wrote down every word of ,christ1 as given by each of the ,evangelists4 ,this most precious excerpta he continued to read and devoutly study with great profit and comfort4 ,if the publisher had done nothing else but carry out this idea1 he would have performed a good service1 for many devout students of the ,word of ,god2 but he has done much more and ,i doubt not1 by a very simple method1 will become the instrument of good to thousands4 ,the several things aimed at and accomplished1 in the plan of the book1 are these ,,first4 ,a complete harmony of the several ,evangelistic narratives1 in a consecutive chronological order1 thus presenting in one view a complete and perfect picture of our ,saviour's life and ministry4 ,every word of each ,gospel is given1 7except that which is embraced in the two opening chapters17 but in continued and unbroken flow1 and not in the fragmentary and disjointed order of chapter and verse1 as found in the ordinary form4 ,,second4 ,the words spoken by ,jesus himself are raised out of the page1 in relief1 by means of larger type2 so that if the reader is desirous1 he can peruse at a single sitting all the words of the ,master left on record1 in the order of their utterance1 and apart from the words of others1 without the labor of selecting4 ,,third4 ,while the main intent is to present the ,gospels in a harmonious arrangement1 and especially to give prominence to the divine speaker himself1 the author has furnished two preliminary and a concluding chapter of real interest and value1 in the first of which1 by a judicious collocation of passages from the ,old and ,new ,testaments1 he traces ,christ as he appeared in ,creation and ,providence1 as set forth by the ,prophets and ,apostles4 ,in the second he sketches a brief account of his childhood with appropriate reflections1 and in the concluding chapter ending the volume1 he gives his words uttered after the ascension1 as found in the ,epistles and the book of ,revelation4 ,,fourth4 ,accompanying the volume1 is a geographical and historical chart1 ingeniously contrived to illustrate the general idea of the book4 ,this chart is entitled ,the ,walks of ,jesus2 a ,pictorial ,chart of the ,antediluvian and ,patriarchal ,periods1 and of the ,holy ,land2 for ,sunday ,schools and ,families4 ,it is published in neat and attractive form1 and of various sizes1 and cannot fail to be a useful accompaniment of ,bible study4 ,i am so pleased with the general plan of this work1 and with the manner in which the publisher is executing his idea1 that ,i take great pleasure in commending it as a helpful and convenient companion to all ,bible lovers and students4 ,among the many books which are appearing1 concerning the ,christ1 this1 after all1 is the truest and best4 ,it may be ,,well to read them--it is ,,indispensable to read this4 ,whatever gives interest to the sacred page1 and especially1 whatsoever shall give prominence to the simple word and truth of ,jesus1 cannot fail to be fraught with blessings to the world4 ,the holy ,evangelists were inspired men4 ,all their words are the words of ,god1 and not one of them to be lightly esteemed1 or to be held as of questionable authority2 and yet the precise sentences that fell from the lips of the ,only ,begotten rise in importance and dignity1 and come to us with more direct authority and divinity4 ,let us remember the voice that dropped from the open heaven3 ,this is my beloved ,son3 hear ye him4 ,r4 ,s4 ,,foster4 ,walks and ,words of ,jesus ,,chapter ,i4 ,,jesus ,,in ,,creation ,,and ,,prophecy4 ,when we open the ,,holy ,,bible1 the very first sentence unfolds to us the creation of worlds by the ,word and power of ,jehovah3 ,in the beginning ,god created the heaven and the earth4 ,in the ,,new ,,testament ,jesus is presented as the ,creator of all things4 ,the inspired writer opens the subject in these words3 ,in the beginning was the ,word1 and the ,word was with ,god1 and the ,word was ,god4 ,the same was in the beginning with ,god4 ,all things were made by him2 and without him was not anything made that was made4 ,paul1 in one of his epistles1 speaks of this same ,jesus as the image of the invisible ,god1 the first born of every creature3 for by him were all things created1 that are in heaven1 and that are in earth1 visible and invisible1 whether they be thrones1 or dominions1 or principalities1 or powers3 all things were created by him1 and for him2 and he is before all things1 and by him all things consist4 ,again1 ,john1 in his vision of the future glory of the ,church1 saw the ,eternal ,throne1 and ,jesus the ,mighty ,conqueror seated upon it2 and heard voices chanting in angelic strains1 ,holy1 holy1 holy1 ,lord ,god ,almighty1 which was1 and is1 and is to come4 ,and four-and-twenty elders1 clothed in white robes1 with crowns of gold1 fell prostrate before him1 and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever1 saying1 ,thou art worthy1 ,o ,lord1 to receive glory1 and honor1 and power3 for thou hast created all things1 and for thy pleasure they are and were created4 ,when ,adam had ruined himself and his posterity by eating the forbidden fruit1 ,jehovah1 in his infinite love1 gave him the promise of a ,,messiah1 in the words addressed to the serpent3 ,i will put enmity between thee and the woman1 and between thy seed and her seed2 it shall bruise thy head1 and thou shalt bruise his heel4 ,as we trace along the stream of time1 we see this faint promise oft renewed1 brightening with every repetition4 ,when ,jehovah had destroyed the world by a flood1 on account of its wickedness1 preserving only the family of ,noah to repeople it1 and had scattered the builders of ,babel1 confounding their language1 he said to faithful ,abram3 ,get thee out of thy country1 and from thy kindred1 and from thy father's house1 unto a land that ,i will show thee3 and ,i will make of thee a great nation1 and ,i will bless thee1 and make thy name great2 and thou shalt be a blessing3 and ,i will bless them that bless thee1 and curse him that curseth thee2 and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed4 ,jacob1 on his way to ,padan-,aram1 slept1 and saw in the night-visions1 a ladder1 with its foot upon the earth1 and its top reaching to heaven1 and lo6 angels were ascending and descending upon it4 ,and he heard the voice of the ,lord from the top of the ladder1 saying unto him3 ,i am the ,lord ,god of ,abraham thy father1 and the ,god of ,isaac3 the land whereon thou liest1 to thee will ,i give it1 and to thy seed2 and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth2 and thou shalt spread abroad to the west1 and to the east1 and to the north1 and to the south3 and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed4 ,illustration3 ,bethlehem--,birthplace of ,jesus4 ,thus from time to time was the promise of a coming ,saviour renewed1 until1 on the plains of ,bethlehem1 a glorious light burst upon the watching shepherds1 and an angel appeared1 saying2 ,fear not3 for1 behold1 ,i bring you good tidings of great joy1 which shall be to all people4 ,for unto you is born this day1 in the city of ,david1 a ,saviour1 which is ,christ the ,lord4 ,and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising ,god1 and saying1 ,glory to ,god in the highest1 and on earth peace1 good will toward men4 ,and when the angels had departed1 the shepherds said one to another1 ,let us now go even unto ,bethlehem1 and see this thing which is come to pass1 which the ,lord hath made known unto us4 ,and they came with haste1 and found ,mary and ,joseph1 and the babe lying in a manger4 ,and the shepherds returned1 glorifying and praising ,god for all the things that they had heard and seen4 ,eight days after1 at the circumcision of the child1 he was called ,jesus1 which signifies ,saviour1 a name given before he was born3 for said the angel1 ,he shall save his people from their sins4 ,,chapter ,,ii4 ,,the ,,childhood ,,of ,,jesus4 ,the ,incarnation of the ,son of ,god1 presents us with an example of condescension and humiliation1 only equalled by the exaltation of its subjects4 ,he came to earth1 that he might exalt us to heaven4 ,his sufferings and death1 clothe us1 who are dead in sin1 with immortality1 and secure to us the bliss of an eternal ,paradise4 ,to trace the footsteps of ,jesus1 ,god ,incarnate1 and to present the words that dropped fresh from his wise and holy lips1 while on his mission of mercy to this sin-stricken world1 will be the object of these pages4 ,the child grew and waxed strong in spirit1 filled with wisdom3 and the grace of ,god was upon him4 ,but his first word1 on record1 was uttered at the age of twelve years4 ,a multitude had assembled at ,jerusalem4 ,the eight days' worship being ended1 the crowds disperse and scatter to their homes in the distant countries round about4 ,the parents1 supposing the child ,jesus to be among their relatives and acquaintances in the great throng1 pass on a day's journey1 when they seek him but find him not4 ,they return1 anxious and sorrow stricken1 to ,jerusalem1 where they find him still in the ,temple1 sitting with the ,doctors of the law1 and astonishing the multitude with his understanding and answers4 ,his mother1 though amazed at his wisdom1 gently chides her son for his lack of filial fidelity1 saying1 ,son1 why hast thou thus dealt with us8 behold1 thy father and ,i have sought thee sorrowing4 ,and he said unto them1 ,how is it that ye sought me8 ,wist ye not that ,i must be about my ,father's business8 ,and they understood not the saying which he spake unto them4 ,and he went down with them1 and came to ,nazareth1 and was subject unto them2 but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart4 ,eighteen years now pass away without the record of another word4 ,while he honored his earthly parents1 and was diligent in his daily toil1 he was doubtless ever busy in the work assigned him by his ,father in heaven4 ,multitudes may have been charmed by his youthful eloquence1 confounded by his wisdom1 and melted under his sweet spirit of love4 ,but to us it is one great blank4 ,this brief sentence among the doctors in the temple1 in answer to the question of the anxious mother1 is like some blazing comet1 which for a brief space lights the starry vault with its radiance1 and then shoots off1 in its eccentric course1 to be seen no more for years to come4 ,during these silent years1 multitudes had passed to their reward4 ,seed time and harvest1 summer and winter1 day and night1 had succeeded each other1 in regular order2 while the bow in the cloud had constantly reminded the world of the gracious promise of ,god to ,noah4 ,but not a word is preserved from the lips of this wonderful child4 ,not a footprint marks his journeyings4 ,at the age of thirty he suddenly appears again on the page of history4 ,let us now follow his footsteps1 and listen to his words4 ,,chapter ,,iii4 ,,the ,,baptism ,,and ,,temptation ,,of ,,jesus4 ,and it came to pass in those days1 that ,jesus came from ,nazareth of ,galilee1 to ,jordan1 unto ,john1 to be baptized of him4 ,but ,john forbade him1 saying1 ,i have need to be baptized of thee1 and comest thou to me8 ,and ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,suffer it to be so now3 for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness4 ,then he suffered him4 ,now when all the people were baptized1 it came to pass1 that ,jesus also being baptized1 went up straightway out of the water2 and praying1 lo1 the heavens were opened unto him1 and the ,holy ,ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him1 and there came a voice from heaven1 saying1 ,thou art my beloved son1 in whom ,i am well pleased4 ,and ,jesus being full of the ,holy ,ghost1 returned from ,jordan1 and was led by the ,spirit into the wilderness1 to be tempted of the devil4 ,and he was there in the wilderness forty days1 tempted of ,satan2 and was with the wild beasts4 ,and in those days he did eat nothing4 ,and when he had fasted forty days and forty nights1 he was afterward an hungered4 ,and when the tempter came to him1 he said1 ,if thou be the ,son of ,god1 command that these stones be made bread4 ,but ,jesus answered and said1 ,it is written1 ,man shall not live by bread alone1 but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of ,god4 ,then the devil taketh him up into the holy city1 and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple4 ,and saith unto him1 ,if thou be the ,son of ,god1 cast thyself down from hence3 for it is written1 ,he shall give his angels charge concerning thee1 to keep thee3 ,and in their hands they shall bear thee up1 lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone4 ,and ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,it is written again1 ,thou shalt not tempt the ,lord thy ,god4 ,again1 the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain1 and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world1 and the glory of them1 in a moment of time4 ,and the devil said unto him1 ,all this power will ,i give thee1 and the glory of them3 for that is delivered unto me3 and to whomsoever ,i will ,i give it4 ,if thou therefore wilt fall down and worship me1 all shall be thine4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,get thee behind me1 ,satan3 for it is written1 ,thou shalt worship the ,lord thy ,god1 and him only shalt thou serve4 ,and when the devil had ended all the temptation1 he departed from him for a season4 ,and1 behold1 angels came and ministered unto him4 ,,chapter ,,iv4 ,,testimony ,,of ,,john--,,call ,,of ,,the ,,first ,,disciples4 ,this is the record of ,john1 when the ,jews sent priests and ,levites from ,jerusalem to ask him1 ,who art thou8 ,he confessed1 and denied not2 but confessed1 ,i am not the ,christ4 ,and they asked him1 ,what then8 ,art thou ,elias8 ,and he saith1 ,i am not4 ,art thou that prophet8 ,and he answered1 ,no4 ,then said they unto him1 ,who art thou8 that we may give an answer to them that sent us4 ,what sayest thou of thyself8 ,he said1 ,i am the voice of one crying in the wilderness1 ,make straight the way of the ,lord1 as said the prophet ,esaias4 ,and they which were sent were of the ,pharisees4 ,and they asked him1 and said unto him1 ,why baptizest thou then1 if thou be not that ,christ1 nor ,elias1 neither that prophet8 ,john answered them1 saying1 ,i baptize with water3 but there standeth one among you1 whom ye know not2 ,he it is1 who coming after me is preferred before me1 whose shoe's latchet ,i am not worthy to unloose4 ,these things were done in ,bethabara beyond ,jordan1 where ,john was baptizing4 ,the next day ,john seeth ,jesus coming unto him1 and saith1 ,behold the ,lamb of ,god1 which taketh away the sin of the world4 ,this is he of whom ,i said1 ,after me cometh a man which is preferred before me3 for he was before me4 ,and ,i knew him not3 but that he should be made manifest to ,israel1 therefore am ,i come baptizing with water4 ,and ,john bare record1 saying1 ,i saw the ,spirit descending from heaven like a dove1 and it abode upon him4 ,and ,i knew him not3 but he that sent me to baptize with water1 the same said unto me1 ,upon whom thou shalt see the ,spirit descending1 and remaining on him1 the same is he which baptizeth with the ,holy ,ghost4 ,and ,i saw1 and bare record that this is the ,son of ,god4 ,again the next day after1 ,john stood1 and two of his disciples2 ,and looking upon ,jesus as he walked1 he saith1 ,behold the ,lamb of ,god6 ,and the two disciples heard him speak1 and they followed ,jesus4 ,then ,jesus turned1 and saw them following1 and saith unto them1 ,what seek ye8 ,they said unto him1 ,rabbi1 7which is to say1 being interpreted1 ,master17 where dwellest thou8 ,he saith unto them1 ,come and see4 ,they came and saw where he dwelt1 and abode with him that day3 for it was about the tenth hour4 ,one of the two which heard ,john speak and followed him1 was ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's brother4 ,he first findeth his own brother ,simon1 and saith unto him1 ,we have found the ,messias1 which is1 being interpreted1 the ,christ4 ,and he brought him to ,jesus4 ,and when ,jesus beheld him1 he said1 ,thou art ,simon the son of ,jona3 thou shalt be called ,cephas1 which is1 by interpretation1 ,a stone4 ,the day following ,jesus would go forth into ,galilee1 and findeth ,philip1 and saith unto him1 ,follow me4 ,now ,philip was of ,bethsaida1 the city of ,andrew and ,peter4 ,philip findeth ,nathanael1 and saith unto him1 ,we have found him1 of whom ,moses in the law and the prophets did write1 ,jesus of ,nazareth1 the son of ,joseph4 ,and ,nathanael said unto him1 ,can there any good thing come out of ,nazareth8 ,philip saith unto him1 ,come and see4 ,jesus saw ,nathanael coming to him1 and saith unto him1 ,behold an ,israelite indeed1 in whom there is no guile6 ,nathanael saith unto him1 ,whence knowest thou me8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,before that ,philip called thee1 when thou wast under the fig tree1 ,i saw thee4 ,nathanael answered and saith unto him1 ,rabbi1 thou art the ,son of ,god2 thou art the ,king of ,israel4 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,because ,i said unto thee1 ,i saw thee under the fig tree1 believest thou8 thou shalt see greater things than these4 ,and he saith unto him1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,hereafter ye shall see heaven open1 and the angels of ,god ascending and descending upon the ,son of man4 ,,chapter ,v4 ,,first ,,miracle--,,temple ,,cleansed--,,visit ,,of ,,nicodemus4 ,and the third day there was a marriage in ,cana of ,galilee2 and the mother of ,jesus was there4 ,and both ,jesus was called1 and his disciples1 to the marriage4 ,and when they wanted wine1 the mother of ,jesus saith unto him1 ,they have no wine4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 what have ,i to do with thee8 mine hour is not yet come4 ,his mother saith unto the servants1 ,whatsoever he saith unto you1 do it4 ,and there were set there six waterpots of stone1 after the manner of the purifying of the ,jews1 containing two or three firkins apiece4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,fill the waterpots with water4 ,and they filled them up to the brim4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,draw out now and bear unto the governor of the feast4 ,and they bare it4 ,when the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine1 and knew not whence it was3 7but the servants which drew the water knew27 the governor of the feast called the bridegroom1 and saith unto him1 ,every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine2 and when men have well drunk1 then that which is worse2 but thou hast kept the good wine until now4 ,this beginning of miracles did ,jesus in ,cana of ,galilee1 and manifested forth his glory2 and his disciples believed on him4 ,after this he went down to ,capernaum1 he1 and his mother1 and his brethren1 and his disciples3 and they continued there not many days4 ,and the ,jews' passover was at hand4 ,and ,jesus went up to ,jerusalem1 and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep1 and doves1 and the changers of money sitting4 ,and when he had made a scourge of small cords1 he drove them all out of the temple1 and the sheep1 and the oxen2 and poured out the changers' money1 and overthrew the tables2 and said unto them that sold doves1 ,take these things hence2 make not my ,father's house an house of merchandise4 ,and his disciples remembered that it was written1 ,the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up4 ,then answered the ,jews and said unto him3 ,what sign shewest thou unto us1 seeing that thou doest these things8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,destroy this temple1 and in three days ,i will raise it up4 ,then said the ,jews1 ,forty and six years was this temple in building1 and wilt thou rear it up in three days8 ,but he spake of the temple of his body4 ,when therefore he was risen from the dead1 his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them2 and they believed the ,scripture1 and the word which ,jesus had said4 ,now when he was in ,jerusalem at the passover1 in the feast day1 many believed in his name1 when they saw the miracles which he did4 ,but ,jesus did not commit himself unto them1 because he knew all men1 and needed not that any should testify of man1 for he knew what was in man4 ,there was a man of the ,pharisees1 named ,nicodemus1 a ruler of the ,jews4 ,the same came to ,jesus by night1 and said unto him1 ,rabbi1 we know that thou art a teacher come from ,god3 for no man can do these miracles that thou doest1 except ,god be with him4 ,jesus answered and said1 unto him1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except a man be born again1 he cannot see the kingdom of ,god4 ,nicodemus saith unto him1 ,how can a man be born when he is old8 can he enter the second time into his mother's womb1 and be born8 ,jesus answered1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except a man be born of water and ofthe ,spirit1 he cannot enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,that which is born of the flesh is flesh2 and that which is born of the ,spirit is spirit4 ,marvel not that ,i said unto thee1 ,ye must be born again4 ,the wind bloweth where it listeth1 and thou hearest the sound thereof1 but canst not tell whence it cometh1 and whither it goeth3 so is every one that is born of the ,spirit4 ,nicodemus answered and said unto him1 ,how can these things be8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,art thou a master of ,israel1 and knowest not these things8 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,we speak that we do know1 and testify that we have seen2 and ye receive not our witness4 ,if ,i have told you earthly things1 and ye believe not1 how shall ye believe1 if ,i tell you of heavenly things4 ,and no man hath ascended up to heaven1 but he that came down from heaven1 even the ,son of man which is in heaven4 ,and as ,moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness1 even so must the ,son of man be lifted up3 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish1 but have eternal life4 ,for ,god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten ,son1 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish1 but have everlasting life4 ,for ,god sent not his ,son into the world to condemn the world2 but that the world through him might be saved4 ,he that believeth on him is not condemned3 but he that believeth not is condemned already1 because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten ,son of ,god4 ,and this is the condemnation1 that light is come into the world1 and men loved darkness rather than light1 because their deeds were evil4 ,for every one that doeth evil hateth the light1 neither cometh to the light1 lest his deeds should be reproved4 ,but he that doeth truth cometh to the light1 that his deeds may be made manifest1 that they are wrought in ,god4 ,,chapter ,,vi4 ,,john ,,exalts ,,jesus--,,woman ,,at ,,the ,,well--,,visit ,,to ,,samaria4 ,after these things came ,jesus and his disciples into the land of ,judea2 and there he tarried with them1 and baptized4 ,and ,john also was baptizing in ,a,enon near to ,salim1 because there was much water there3 and they came1 and were baptized4 ,for ,john was not yet cast into prison4 ,then there arose a question between some of ,john's disciples and the ,jews about purifying4 ,and they came unto ,john1 and said unto him1 ,rabbi1 he that was with thee beyond ,jordan1 to whom thou barest witness1 behold1 the same baptizeth1 and all men come to him1 ,john answered and said1 a man can receive nothing1 except it be given him from heaven4 ,ye yourselves bear me witness1 that ,i said1 ,i am not the ,christ1 but that ,i am sent before him4 ,he that hath the bride is the bridegroom3 but the friend of the bridegroom1 which standeth and heareth him1 rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice3 this my joy therefore is fulfilled4 ,he must increase1 but ,i must decrease4 ,he that cometh from above is above all3 he that is of the earth is earthly1 and speaketh of the earth3 he that cometh from heaven is above all4 ,and what he hath seen and heard1 that he testifieth2 and no man receiveth his testimony4 ,he that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that ,god is true4 ,for he whom ,god hath sent speaketh the words of ,god3 for ,god giveth not the ,spirit by measure unto him4 ,the ,father loveth the ,son1 and hath given all things into his hand4 ,he that believeth on the ,son hath everlasting life3 and he that believeth not the ,son shall not see life2 but the wrath of ,god abideth on him4 ,when therefore the ,lord knew how the ,pharisees had heard that ,jesus made and baptized more disciples than ,john1 7though ,jesus himself baptized not1 but his disciples17 ,he left ,judea1 and departed again into ,galilee4 ,and he must needs go through ,samaria4 ,then cometh he to a city of ,samaria1 which is called ,sychar1 near to the parcel of ground that ,jacob gave to his son ,joseph4 ,now ,jacob's well was there4 ,jesus therefore1 being wearied with his journey1 sat thus on the well3 and it was about the sixth hour4 ,there cometh a woman of ,samaria to draw water3 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,give me to drink4 7,for his disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat47 ,then saith the woman of ,samaria unto him1 ,how is it that thou1 being a ,jew1 asketh drink of me1 which am a woman of ,samaria8 for the ,jews have no dealings with the ,samaritans4 ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,if thou knewest the gift of ,god1 and who it is that saith to thee1 ,give me to drink2 thou wouldest have asked of him1 and he would have given thee living water4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,sir1 thou hast nothing to draw with1 and the well is deep3 from whence then hast thou that living water8 ,art thou greater than our father ,jacob1 which gave us the well1 and drank thereof himself1 and his children1 and his cattle8 ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again3 ,but whosoever drinketh of the water that ,i shall give him shall never thirst2 but the water that ,i shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,sir1 give me this water1 that ,i thirst not1 neither come hither to draw4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,go1 call thy husband1 and come hither4 ,the woman answered and said1 ,i have no husband4 ,jesus said unto her1 ,thou hast well said1 ,i have no husband3 for thou hast had five husbands2 and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband3 in that saidst thou truly4 ,the woman said unto him1 ,sir1 ,i perceive that thou art a prophet4 ,our fathers worshipped in this mountain2 and ye say1 that in ,jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 believe me1 the hour cometh1 when ye shall neither in this mountain1 nor yet at ,jerusalem1 worship the ,father4 ,ye worship ye know not what3 we know what we worship3 for salvation is of the ,jews4 ,but the hour cometh1 and now is1 when the true worshippers shall worship the ,father in spirit and in truth3 for the ,father seeketh such to worship him4 ,god is a ,spirit3 and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth4 ,the woman saith unto him1 ,i know that ,messias cometh1 which is called ,christ3 when he is come1 he will tell us all things4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,i that speak unto thee am he4 ,and upon this came his disciples1 and marvelled that he talked with the woman3 yet no man said1 ,what seekest thou8 or1 ,why talkest thou with her8 ,the woman then left her waterpot1 and went her way into the city1 and said to the men1 ,come1 see a man1 which told me all things that ever ,i did3 is not this the ,christ8 ,then they went out of the city1 and came unto him4 ,in the meanwhile his disciples prayed him saying1 ,master1 eat4 ,but he said unto them1 ,i have meat to eat that ye know not of4 ,therefore said the disciples one to another1 ,hath any man brought him ought to eat8 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,my meat is to do the will of him that sent me1 and to finish his work4 ,say not ye1 ,there are yet four months1 and then cometh harvest8 behold1 ,i say unto you1 ,lift up your eyes1 and look on the fields2 for they are white already to harvest4 ,and he that reapeth receiveth wages1 and gathereth fruit unto life eternal3 that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together4 ,and herein is that saying true1 ,one soweth1 and another reapeth4 ,i sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor3 other men labored1 and ye are entered into their labors4 ,and many of the ,samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman1 which testified1 ,he told me all that ever ,i did4 ,so when the ,samaritans were come unto him1 they besought him that he would tarry with them3 and he abode there two days4 ,and many more believed because of his own word2 and said unto the woman1 ,now we believe1 not because of thy saying3 for we have heard him ourselves1 and know that this is indeed the ,christ1 the ,saviour of the world4 ,,chapter ,,vii4 ,,nobleman ,,of ,,capernaum--,,preaches ,,at ,,nazareth4 ,now after two days he departed thence1 and went into ,galilee4 ,for ,jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honor in his own country4 ,then when he was come into ,galilee1 the ,galilaeans received him1 having seen all the things that he did at ,jerusalem at the feast3 for they also went unto the feast4 ,so ,jesus came again into ,cana of ,galilee1 where he made the water wine4 ,and there was a certain nobleman1 whose son was sick at ,capernaum4 ,when he heard that ,jesus was come out of ,judea into ,galilee1 he went unto him1 and besought him that he would come down and heal his son3 for he was at the point of death4 ,then said ,jesus unto him1 ,except ye see signs and wonders1 ye will not believe4 ,the nobleman saith unto him1 ,sir1 come down ere my child die4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,go thy way3 thy son liveth4 ,and the man believed the word that ,jesus had spoken unto him1 and he went his way4 ,and as he was now going down1 his servants met him1 and told him1 saying1 ,thy son liveth4 ,then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend4 ,and they said unto him1 ,yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him4 ,so the father knew that it was at the same hour1 in the which ,jesus said unto him1 ,thy son liveth3 and himself believed1 and his whole house4 ,this is again the second miracle that ,jesus did1 when he was come out of ,judea into ,galilee4 ,and ,jesus returned in the power of the ,spirit into ,galilee3 and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about4 ,and he taught in their synagogues1 being glorified of all4 ,and he came to ,nazareth1 where he had been brought up3 and1 as his custom was1 he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day1 and stood up for to read4 ,and there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet ,esaias4 ,and when he had opened the book1 he found the place where it was written1 ,the ,spirit of the ,lord is upon me1 because he hath anointed me to preach the ,gospel to the poor2 he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted1 to preach deliverance to the captives1 and recovering of sight to the blind1 to set at liberty them that are bruised1 to preach the acceptable year of the ,lord4 ,and he closed the book1 and he gave it again to the minister1 and sat down4 ,and the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him4 ,and he began to say unto them1 ,this day is this ,scripture fulfilled in your ears4 ,and all bear him witness1 and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth4 ,and they said1 ,is not this ,joseph's son8 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye will surely say unto me this proverb1 ,physician1 heal thyself3 whatsoever we have heard done in ,capernaum1 do also here in thy country4 ,and he said1 ,verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,no prophet is accepted in his own country4 ,but ,i tell you of a truth1 many widows were in ,israel in the days of ,elias1 when the heaven was shut up three years and six months1 when great famine was throughout all the land2 but unto none of them was ,elias sent1 save unto ,sarepta1 a city of ,sidon1 unto a woman that was a widow4 ,and many lepers were in ,israel in the time of ,eliseus the prophet2 and none of them was cleansed1 saving ,naaman1 the ,syrian4 ,and all they in the synagogue1 when they heard these things1 were filled with wrath1 and rose up1 and thrust him out of the city1 and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built1 that they might cast him down headlong4 ,but he passing through the midst of them went his way4 ,,chapter ,,viii4 ,,moves ,,to ,,capernaum--,,andrew ,,and ,,peter ,,called4 ,now when ,jesus had heard that ,john was cast into prison1 he departed into ,galilee2 and leaving ,nazareth1 he came and dwelt in ,capernaum1 a city of ,galilee1 which is upon the sea coast1 in the borders of ,zabulon and ,nephthalim3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by ,esaias the prophet1 saying1 ,the land of ,zebulon1 and the land of ,nephthalim1 by the way of the sea1 beyond ,jordan1 ,galilee of the ,gentiles2 the people which sat in darkness saw great light2 and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up4 ,from that time ,jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom of ,god1 and to say1 ,repent3 the time is fulfilled1 and the kingdom of ,god is at hand3 repent ye1 and believe the gospel4 ,and ,jesus1 walking by the sea of ,galilee1 saw two brethren1 ,simon called ,peter1 and ,andrew his brother1 casting a net into the sea3 for they were fishers4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,follow me1 and ,i will make you to become fishers of men4 ,and they straightway left their nets1 and followed him4 ,and going on a little farther thence1 he saw other two brethren1 ,james the son of ,zebedee1 and ,john his brother1 in a ship with ,zebedee their father1 mending their nets2 and straightway he called them3 and they immediately left the ship and their father ,zebedee in the ship with the hired servants1 and went after him4 ,and they went into ,capernaum3 and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue1 and taught4 ,and they were astonished at his doctrine3 for his word was with power3 for he taught them as one that had authority1 and not as the scribes4 ,and in the synagogue there was a man1 which had a spirit of an unclean devil1 and cried out with a loud voice1 saying1 ,let us alone2 what have we to do with thee1 thou ,jesus of ,nazareth8 art thou come to destroy us8 ,i know thee who thou art2 the ,holy ,one of ,god4 ,and ,jesus rebuked him1 saying1 ,hold thy peace1 and come out of him4 ,and when the devil had torn him1 had thrown him in the midst1 and cried with a loud voice1 he came out of him1 and hurt him not4 ,and they were all amazed1 insomuch that they questioned among themselves1 saying1 ,what thing is this8 ,what new doctrine is this8 ,what a word is this6 for with authority and power he commandeth even the unclean spirits1 and they do obey him1 and they come out4 ,and immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region1 into every place of the country round about ,galilee4 ,and forthwith1 when they were come out of the synagogue1 they entered into the house of ,simon and ,andrew1 with ,james and ,john4 ,and ,simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever2 and anon they tell him of her2 and they besought him for her4 ,and he stood over her1 and rebuked the fever2 and he came and took her by the hand1 and lifted her up2 and immediately the fever left her1 and she arose1 and ministered unto them4 ,and at even1 when the sun was setting1 all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him2 and them that were possessed with devils3 and he laid his hands on every one of them1 and healed them4 ,and all the city was gathered together at the door4 ,and devils also came out of many1 crying out1 and saying1 ,thou art ,christ the ,son of ,god4 ,and he rebuking them suffered them not to speak3 for they knew that he was ,christ4 ,that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by ,esaias the prophet1 saying1 ,himself took our infirmities1 and bare our sicknesses4 ,and in the morning1 rising up a great while before day1 and when it was day1 he went out1 and departed into a solitary place1 and there prayed4 ,and ,simon and they that were with him followed after him4 ,and when they had found him1 they said unto him1 ,all men seek for thee4 ,and he said unto them1 ,let us go into the next towns1 that ,i may preach there also3 for therefore came ,i forth4 ,and the people sought him1 and came unto him1 and stayed him1 that he should not depart from them4 ,and he said unto them1 ,i must preach the kingdom of ,god to other cities also3 for therefore am ,i sent4 ,and ,jesus went about all ,galilee1 teaching in their synagogues1 and preaching the gospel of the kingdom1 and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people1 and cast out devils4 ,and his fame went throughout all ,syria3 and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments1 and those which were possessed with devils1 and those which were lunatic1 and those that had the palsy2 and he healed them4 ,and there followed him great multitudes of people from ,galilee1 and from ,decapolis1 and from ,jerusalem1 and from ,judea1 and from beyond ,jordan4 ,,chapter ,,ix4 ,,sermon ,,on ,,the ,,mount1 ,,near ,,capernaum4 ,and seeing the multitudes1 he went up into a mountain3 and when he was set1 his disciples came unto him3 ,and he opened his mouth1 and taught them1 saying1 ,blessed are the poor in spirit3 for their's is the kingdom of heaven4 ,blessed are they that mourn3 for they shall be comforted4 ,blessed are the meek3 for they shall inherit the earth4 ,blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness3 for they shall be filled4 ,blessed are the merciful3 for they shall obtain mercy4 ,blessed are the pure in heart3 for they shall see ,god4 ,blessed are the peacemakers3 for they shall be called the children of ,god4 ,blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake3 for their's is the kingdom of heaven4 ,blessed are ye1 when men shall revile you1 and persecute you1 and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely1 for my sake4 ,rejoice and be exceeding glad3 for great is your reward in heaven3 for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you4 ,ye are the salt of the earth3 but if the salt have lost his savor1 wherewith shall it be salted8 it is thenceforth good for nothing1 but to be cast out1 and to be trodden under foot of men4 ,ye are the light of the world4 ,a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid4 ,neither do men light a candle1 and put it under a bushel1 but on a candlestick2 and it giveth light unto all that are in the house4 ,let your light so shine before men1 that they may see your good works1 and glorify your ,father which is in heaven4 ,think not that ,i am come to destroy the ,law or the ,prophets3 ,i am not come to destroy1 but to fulfil4 ,for verily ,i say unto you1 ,till heaven and earth pass1 one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law1 till all be fulfilled4 ,whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments1 and shall teach men so1 he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven2 but whosoever shall do and teach them1 the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and ,pharisees1 ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven4 ,ye have heard that it was said by them of old time1 ,thou shalt not kill2 and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment3 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment3 and whosoever shall say to his brother1 ,raca1 shall be in danger of the council3 but whosoever shall say1 ,thou fool1 shall be in danger of hell fire4 ,therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar1 and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee2 leave there thy gift before the altar1 and go thy way2 first be reconciled to thy brother1 and then come and offer thy gift4 ,agree with thine adversary quickly1 whilst thou art in the way with him2 lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge1 and the judge deliver thee to the officer1 and thou be cast into prison4 ,verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,thou shalt by no means come out thence1 till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing4 ,ye have heard that it was said by them of old time1 ,thou shalt not commit adultery3 but ,i say unto you1 ,that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart4 ,and if thy right eye offend thee1 pluck it out1 and cast it from thee3 for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish1 and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell4 ,and if thy right hand offend thee1 cut it off1 and cast it from thee1 for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish1 and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell4 ,it hath been said1 ,whosoever shall put away his wife1 let him give her a writing of divorcement3 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,that whosoever shall put away his wife1 saving for the cause of fornication1 causeth her to commit adultery3 and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery4 ,again1 ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time1 ,thou shalt not forswear thyself1 but shalt perform unto the ,lord thine oaths3 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,swear not at all2 neither by heaven2 for it is ,god's throne3 nor by the earth2 for it is his footstool3 neither by ,jerusalem2 for it is the city of the great ,king4 ,neither shalt thou swear by thy head1 because thou canst not make one hair white or black4 ,but let your communication be1 ,yea1 yea2 ,nay1 nay3 for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil4 ,ye have heard that it hath been said1 ,an eye for an eye1 and a tooth for a tooth3 but ,i say unto you1 ,that ye resist not evil3 but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek1 turn to him the other also4 ,and if any man will sue thee at the law1 and take away thy coat1 let him have thy cloak also4 ,and whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile1 go with him twain4 ,give to him that asketh thee1 and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away4 ,ye have heard that it hath been said1 ,thou shalt love thy neighbor1 and hate thine enemy4 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,love your enemies1 bless them that curse you1 do good to them that hate you1 and pray for them which despitefully use you1 and persecute you2 that ye may be the children of your ,father which is in heaven3 for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good1 and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust4 ,for if ye love them which love you1 what reward have ye8 do not even the publicans the same8 ,and if ye salute your brethren only1 what do ye more than others8 do not even the publicans so8 ,be ye therefore perfect1 even as your ,father which is in heaven is perfect4 ,,chapter ,x4 ,,sermon ,,on ,,the ,,mount1 ,,continued4 ,take heed that ye do not your alms before men1 to be seen of them2 otherwise ye have no reward of your ,father which is in heaven4 ,therefore when thou doest thine alms1 do not sound a trumpet before thee1 as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets1 that they may have glory of men4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have their reward4 ,but when thou doest alms1 let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth3 that thine alms may be in secret3 and thy ,father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly4 ,and when thou prayest1 thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are3 for they love to pray standing in the synagogues1 and in the corners of the streets1 that they may be seen of men4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have their reward4 ,but thou1 when thou prayest1 enter into thy closet1 and when thou hast shut thy door1 pray to thy ,father which is in secret2 and thy ,father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly4 ,but when ye pray1 use not vain repetitions1 as the heathen do3 for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking4 ,be not ye therefore like unto them3 for your ,father knoweth what things ye have need of1 before ye ask him4 ,after this manner therefore pray ye3 ,our ,father which art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy name4 ,thy kingdom come4 ,thy will be done in earth1 as it is in heaven4 ,give us this day our daily bread4 ,and forgive us our debts1 as we forgive our debtors4 ,and lead us not into temptation1 but deliver us from evil3 ,for thine is the kingdom1 and the power1 and the glory1 for ever4 ,amen4 ,for if ye forgive men their trespasses1 your heavenly ,father will also forgive you3 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses1 neither will your ,father forgive your trespasses4 ,moreover when ye fast1 be not1 as the hypocrites1 of a sad countenance3 for they disfigure their faces1 that they may appear unto men to fast4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,they have their reward4 ,but thou1 when thou fastest1 anoint thine head1 and wash thy face2 that thou appear not unto men to fast1 but unto thy ,father which is in secret3 and thy ,father1 which seeth in secret1 shall reward thee openly4 ,lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth1 where moth and rust doth corrupt1 and where thieves break through and steal3 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven1 where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt1 and where thieves do not break through nor steal4 ,for where your treasure is1 there will your heart be also4 ,the light of the body is the eye3 if therefore thine eye be single1 thy whole body shall be full of light4 ,but if thine eye be evil1 thy whole body shall be full of darkness4 ,if therefore the light that is in thee be darkness1 how great is that darkness6 ,no man can serve two masters3 for either he will hate the one1 and love the other2 or else he will hold to the one1 and despise the other1 ,ye cannot serve ,god and mammon4 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,take no thought for your life1 what ye shall eat1 or what ye shall drink2 nor yet for your body1 what ye shall put on4 ,is not the life more than meat1 and the body than raiment4 ,behold the fowls of the air3 for they sow not1 neither do they reap1 nor gather into barns2 yet your heavenly ,father feedeth them4 ,are ye not much better than they8 ,which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature8 ,and why take ye thought for raiment8 ,consider the lilies of the field1 how they grow2 they toil not1 neither do they spin2 and yet ,i say unto you1 ,that even ,solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these4 ,wherefore1 if ,god so clothe the grass of the field1 which to day is1 and to morrow is cast into the oven1 shall he not much more clothe you1 ,o ye of little faith4 ,therefore take no thought1 saying1 ,what shall we eat8 or1 ,what shall we drink8 or1 ,wherewithal shall we be clothed8 7,for after all these things do the ,gentiles seek37 for your heavenly ,father knoweth that ye have need of all these things4 ,but seek ye first the kingdom of ,god1 and his righteousness2 and all these things shall be added unto you4 ,take therefore no thought for the morrow3 for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself4 ,sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof4 ,,chapter ,,xi4 ,,sermon ,,on ,,the ,,mount1

that is in thy brother's eye1 but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye8 ,or how wilt thou say to thy brother1 ,let me pull out the mote out of thine eye2 and1 behold1 a beam is in thine own eye4 ,thou hypocrite1 first cast out the beam out of thine own eye2 and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye4 ,give not that which is holy unto the dogs1 neither cast ye your pearls before swine1 lest they trample them under their feet1 and turn again and rend you4 ,ask1 and it shall be given you2 seek1 and ye shall find2 knock1 and it shall be opened unto you3 for every one that asketh receiveth2 and he that seeketh findeth2 and to him that knocketh it shall be opened4 ,or what man is there of you1 whom if his son ask bread1 will he give him a stone8 ,or if he ask a fish1 will he give him a serpent8 ,if ye then1 being evil1 know how to give good gifts unto your children1 how much more shall your ,father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him8 ,therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you1 do ye even so to them3 for this is the law and the prophets4 ,enter ye in at the strait gate3 for wide is the gate1 and broad is the way1 that leadeth to destruction1 and many there be which go in thereat3 because strait is the gate1 and narrow is the way1 which leadeth unto life1 and few there be that find it4 ,beware of false prophets1 which come to you in sheep's clothing1 but inwardly they are ravening wolves4 ,ye shall know them by their fruits4 ,do men gather grapes of thorns1 or figs of thistles8 ,even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit2 but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit4 ,a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit1 neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit4 ,every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down1 and cast into the fire4 ,wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them4 ,not every one that saith unto me1 ,lord1 ,lord1 shall enter into the kingdom of heaven2 but he that doeth the will of my ,father which is in heaven4 ,many will say to me in that day1 ,lord1 ,lord1 have we not prophesied in thy name8 and in thy name have cast out devils8 and in thy name done many wonderful works8 ,and then will ,i profess unto them1 ,i never knew you3 depart from me1 ye that work iniquity4 ,therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine1 and doeth them1 ,i will liken him unto a wise man1 which built his house upon a rock3 and the rain descended1 and the floods came1 and the winds blew1 and beat upon that house3 and it fell not3 for it was founded upon a rock4 ,and every one that heareth these sayings of mine1 and doeth them not1 shall be likened unto a foolish man1 which built his house upon the sand3 and the rain descended1 and the floods came1 and the winds blew1 and beat upon that house2 and it fell3 and great was the fall of it4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,jesus had ended these sayings1 the people were astonished at his doctrine3 ,for he taught them as one having authority1 and not as the ,scribes4 ,when he was come down from the mountain1 great multitudes followed him4 ,,chapter ,,xii4 ,,great ,,draught ,,of ,,fishes--,,heals ,a ,,leper--,,matthew ,,called4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of ,god1 he stood by the lake of ,gennesaret1 and saw two ships standing by the lake3 but the fishermen were gone out of them1 and were washing their nets4 ,and he entered into one of the ships1 which was ,simon's1 and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land4 ,and he sat down1 and taught the people out of the ship4 ,now when he had left speaking1 he said unto ,simon1 ,launch out into the deep1 and let down your nets for a draught4 ,and ,simon answering said unto him1 ,master1 we have toiled all the night1 and have taken nothing3 nevertheless at thy word ,i will let down the net4 ,and when they had this done1 they inclosed a great multitude of fishes3 and their net brake4 ,and they beckoned unto their partners1 which were in the other ship1 that they should come and help them4 ,and they came1 and filled both the ships1 so that they began to sink4 ,when ,simon ,peter saw it he fell down at ,jesus' knees1 saying1 ,depart from me2 for ,i am a sinful man1 ,o ,lord4 ,for he was astonished1 and all that were with him1 at the draught of the fishes which they had taken3 and so was also ,james and ,john1 the sons of ,zebedee1 which were partners with ,simon4 ,and ,jesus said unto ,simon1 ,fear not2 from henceforth thou shalt catch men4 ,and when they had brought their ships to land1 they forsook all1 and followed him4 ,and it came to pass1 when he was in a certain city1 behold1 there came a man full of leprosy to him1 beseeching him1 and kneeling down to him1 worshipped him1 and fell on his face1 and besought him1 saying1 ,lord1 if thou wilt1 thou canst make me clean4 ,and ,jesus1 moved with compassion1 put forth his hand1 and touched him1 and saith unto him1 ,i will2 be thou clean4 ,and as soon as he had spoken1 immediately the leprosy departed from him1 and he was cleansed4 ,and he straightly charged him1 and forthwith sent him away2 and saith unto him1 ,see thou say nothing to any man3 but go thy way1 shew thyself to the priest1 and offer for thy cleansing those things which ,moses commanded1 for a testimony unto them4 ,but he went out1 and began to publish it much1 and to blaze abroad the matter4 ,and great multitudes came together to hear1 and to be healed by him of their infirmities1 insomuch that ,jesus could no more openly enter into the city1 but was without in desert places3 and he withdrew himself into the wilderness1 and prayed4 ,and they came to him from every quarter4 ,and again he entered into ,capernaum after some days2 and it was noised that he was in the house4 ,and straightway many were gathered together1 insomuch that there was no room to receive them1 no not so much as about the door3 and he preached the word unto them4 ,and it came to pass on a certain day1 as he was teaching1 that there were ,pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by1 which were come out of every town of ,galilee1 and ,judea1 and ,jerusalem3 and the power of the ,lord was present to heal them4 ,and1 behold1 men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy2 which was borne of four4 ,and they sought means to bring him in1 and to lay him before him4 ,and when they could not find by what way they might bring him in1 nigh unto him1 because of the multitude1 they went upon the housetop1 and uncovered the roof where he was3 and when they had broken it up1 they let him down through the tiling with his couch wherein the sick of the palsy lay1 into the midst before ,jesus4 ,when ,jesus saw their faith1 he said unto the sick of the palsy1 ,son1 be of good cheer2 thy sins be forgiven thee4 ,and the scribes and ,pharisees began to reason1 in their hearts1 ,why doth this man thus speak blasphemies8 who can forgive sins but ,god only8 ,and immediately when ,jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves1 he1 knowing their thoughts1 said unto them1 ,why reason ye these things8 ,wherefore think ye evil in your hearts8 ,whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy1 ,thy sins be forgiven thee2 or to say1 ,arise1 and take up thy bed and walk8 ,but that ye may know that the ,son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins1 7he saith to the sick of the palsy17 ,i say unto thee1 ,arise1 and take up thy bed1 and go thy way into thine house4 ,and immediately he rose up before them1 and took up that whereon he lay1 and departed to his own house1 glorifying ,god4 ,but when the multitudes saw it1 they marvelled1 and glorified ,god1 which had given such power unto men2 and were filled with fear1 saying1 ,we never saw it on this fashion4 ,we have seen strange things to day4 ,and after these things he went forth again by the sea side2 and all the multitude resorted unto him1 and he taught them4 ,and as ,jesus passed forth from thence1 he saw a man1 named ,matthew1 7a publican named ,levi7 the son of ,alpheus1 sitting at the receipt of custom1 and he said unto him1 ,follow me4 ,and he left all1 rose up1 and followed him4 ,and ,levi made him a great feast in his own house3 ,and it came to pass1 that1 as ,jesus sat at meat in his house1 many publicans and sinners sat also together with ,jesus and his disciples3 for there were many1 and they followed him4 ,and when the scribes and ,pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners1 they murmured against his disciples1 saying1 ,how is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners8 ,when ,jesus heard it1 he saith unto them1 ,they that are whole have no need of the physician1 but they that are sick3 ,i came not to call the righteous1 but sinners to repentance4 ,and the disciples of ,john and of the ,pharisees used to fast3 and they come and say unto him1 ,why do the disciples of ,john and of the ,pharisees fast1 often1 and make prayers1 but thy disciples fast not8 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast1 while the bridegroom is with them8 as long as they have the bridegroom with them1 they cannot fast4 ,but the days will come1 when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them1 and then shall they fast in those days4 ,and he spake also a parable unto them2 ,no man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment3 else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old1 and the rent is made worse1 and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old4 ,and no man putteth new wine into old bottles3 else the new wine will burst the bottles1 and be spilled1 and the bottles shall perish4 ,but new wine must be put into new bottles2 and both are preserved4 ,no man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new3 for he saith1 ,the old is better4 ,,chapter ,,xiii4 ,,healing ,,at ,,the ,,pool--,,resurrection ,,foretold4 ,after this there was a feast of the ,jews2 and ,jesus went up to ,jerusalem4 ,now there is at ,jerusalem by the sheep market a pool1 which is called in the ,hebrew tongue ,bethesda1 having five porches4 ,in these lay a great multitude of impotent folk1 of blind1 halt1 withered1 waiting for the moving of the water4 ,for an angel went down at a certain season into the pool1 and troubled the water3 whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had4 ,and a certain man was there1 which had an infirmity thirty and eight years4 ,when ,jesus saw him lie1 and knew that he had been now a long time in that case1 he saith unto him1 ,wilt thou be made whole8 ,the impotent man answered him1 ,sir1 ,i have no man1 when the water is troubled1 to put me into the pool3 but while ,i am coming1 another steppeth down before me4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,rise1 take up thy bed1 and walk4 ,and immediately the man was made whole1 and took up his bed1 and walked3 and on the same day was the sabbath4 ,the ,jews therefore said unto him that was cured1 ,it it the ,sabbath day3 it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed4 ,he answered them1 ,he that made me whole1 the same said unto me1 ,take up thy bed and walk4 ,then asked they him1 ,what man is that which said unto thee1 ,take up thy bed1 and walk8 ,and he that was healed wist not who it was3 for ,jesus had conveyed himself away1 a multitude being in that place4 ,afterwards ,jesus findeth him in the temple1 and said unto him1 ,behold1 thou art made whole3 sin no more1 lest a worse thing come unto thee4 ,the man departed1 and told the ,jews that it was ,jesus1 which had made him whole4 ,and therefore did the ,jews persecute ,jesus1 and sought to slay him1 because he had done these things on the sabbath day4 ,but ,jesus answered them1 ,my ,father worketh hitherto1 and ,i work4 ,therefore the ,jews sought the more to kill him1 because he not only had broken the sabbath1 but said also that ,god was his ,father1 making himself equal with ,god4 ,then answered ,jesus and said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the ,son can do nothing of himself1 but what he seeth the ,father do3 for what things soever he doeth1 these also doeth the ,son likewise4 ,for the ,father loveth the ,son and sheweth him all things that himself doeth3 and he will shew him greater works than these1 that ye may marvel4 ,for as the ,father raises up the dead1 and quickeneth them2 even so the ,son quickeneth whom he will4 ,for the ,father judgeth no man1 but hath committed all judgment unto the ,son2 that all men should honor the ,son1 even as they honor the ,father4 ,he that honoreth not the ,son honoreth not the ,father which hath sent him4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that heareth my word1 and believeth on him that sent me1 hath everlasting life1 and shall not come into condemnation2 but is passed from death unto life4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the hour is coming1 and now is1 when the dead shall hear the voice of the ,son of ,god3 and they that hear shall live4 ,for as the ,father hath life in himself2 so hath he given to the ,son to have life in himself2 and hath given him authority to execute judgment also1 because he is the ,son of man4 ,marvel not at this3 for the hour is coming1 in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice1 and shall come forth2 they that have done good1 unto the resurrection of life2 and they that have done evil1 unto the resurrection of damnation4 ,i can of mine own self do nothing3 as ,i hear1 ,i judge3 and my judgment is just2 because ,i seek not mine own will1 but the will of the ,father which hath sent me4 ,if ,i bear witness of myself1 my witness is not true4 ,there is another that beareth witness of me2 and ,i know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true4 ,ye sent unto ,john1 and he bare witness unto the truth4 ,but ,i receive not testimony from man3 but these things ,i say1 that ye might be saved4 ,he was a burning and a shining light3 and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light4 ,but ,i have greater witness than that of ,john3 for the works which the ,father hath given me to finish1 the same works that ,i do1 bear witness of me1 that the ,father hath sent me4 ,and the ,father himself1 which hath sent me1 hath borne witness of me4 ,ye have neither heard his voice at any time1 nor seen his shape4 ,and ye have not his word abiding in you3 for whom he hath sent1 him ye believe not4 ,search the ,scriptures2 for in them ye think ye have eternal life3 and they are they which testify of me4 ,and ye will not come to me1 that ye might have life4 ,i receive not honor from men4 ,but ,i know you1 that ye have not the love of ,god in you4 ,i am come in my ,father's name1 and ye receive me not3 if another shall come in his own name1 him ye will receive4 ,how can ye believe1 which receive honor one of another1 and seek not the honor that cometh from ,god only8 ,do not think that ,i will accuse you to the ,father3 there is one that accuseth you1 even ,moses1 in whom ye trust4 ,for had ye believed ,moses1 ye would have believed me3 for he wrote of me4 ,but if ye believe not his writings1 how shall ye believe my words8 ,,chapter ,,xiv4 ,,disciples ,,in ,,the ,,corn ,,field--,,withered ,,hand4 ,and it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first1 that ,jesus went through the corn fields2 and his disciples were an hungered1 and began to pluck the ears of corn1 and did eat1 rubbing them in their hands4 ,but when the ,pharisees saw it1 they said unto him1 ,behold1 thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day4 ,but he said unto them1 ,have ye never read what ,david did1 when he had need1 and was an hungered1 he1 and they that were with him8 ,how he went into the house of ,god in the days of ,abiathar the high priest1 and did eat the shew bread1 and gave also to them that were with him1 which was not lawful for him to eat1 neither for them which were with him1 but only for the priests4 ,or have ye not read in the law1 how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath1 and are blameless8 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,that in this place is one greater than the temple4 ,but if ye had known what this meaneth1 ,i will have mercy1 and not sacrifice1 ye would not have condemned the guiltless4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the sabbath was made for man1 and not man for the sabbath3 therefore the ,son of man is ,lord also of the sabbath4 ,and it came to pass also on another sabbath1 when he was departed thence1 that he entered into the synagogue and taught3 and there was a man there whose right hand was withered4 ,and the scribes and ,pharisees watched him1 whether he would heal him on the sabbath day4 ,and they asked him1 saying1 ,is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days8 that they might find an accusation against him4 ,but he knew their thoughts1 and said to the man which had the withered hand1 ,rise up and stand forth in the midst4 ,and he arose and stood forth4 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,i will ask you one thing3 ,is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good1 or to do evil8 to save life1 or to destroy it8 ,but they held their peace4 ,and he said unto them1 ,what man shall there be among you1 that shall have one sheep1 and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day1 will he not lay hold on it1 and lift it out8 ,how much then is a man better than a sheep8 ,wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days4 ,and when he had looked round about on them with anger1 being grieved for the hardness of their hearts1 he saith unto the man1 ,stretch forth thine hand4 ,and he stretched it forth2 and his hand was restored whole as the other4 ,and they were filled with madness4 ,and the ,pharisees went forth1 and straightway took counsel with the ,herodians against him1 how they might destroy him4 ,but when ,jesus knew it1 he withdrew himself from thence with his disciples to the sea3 and a great multitude from ,galilee followed him1 and from ,judea1 and from ,jerusalem1 and from ,idumea1 and from beyond ,jordan2 and they about ,tyre and ,sidon1 a great multitude1 when they had heard what great things he did1 came unto him4 ,and he spake to his disciples1 that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude1 lest they should throng him4 ,for he had healed many2 insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him1 as many as had plagues4 ,and unclean spirits1 when they saw him1 fell down before him1 and cried1 saying1 ,thou art the ,son of ,god4 ,and he straitly charged them that they should not make him known3 ,that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by ,esaias the prophet1 saying1 ,behold my servant1 whom ,i have chosen2 my beloved1 in whom my soul is well pleased3 ,i will put my ,spirit upon him1 and he shall shew judgment to the ,gentiles4 ,he shall not strive1 nor cry2 neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets4 ,a bruised reed shall he not break1 and smoking flax shall he not quench1 till he send forth judgment unto victory4 ,and in his name shall the ,gentiles trust4 ,,chapter ,,xv4 ,,apostles ,,named--,,woes ,,and ,,blessings--,,practical ,,lessons4 ,and it came to pass in those days1 that he went out into a mountain to pray1 and continued all night in prayer to ,god4 ,and when it was day1 he called unto him his disciples2 whom he would3 and they came unto him4 ,and of them he chose twelve1 whom also he named apostles2 that they should be with him1 and that he might send them forth to preach1 and to have power to heal sicknesses1 and to cast out devils4 ,now the names of the twelve apostles are these3 ,the first1 ,simon1 7whom he also named ,peter7 and ,andrew his brother2 and ,james the son of ,zebedee1 and ,john the brother of ,james2 and he surnamed them ,boanerges1 which is1 ,the sons of thunder3 ,philip1 and ,bartholomew1 and ,matthew the publican2 and ,thomas1 and ,james the son of ,alpheus1 and ,lebbeus1 whose surname was ,thaddeus3 7,the same with ,judas the brother of ,james17 and ,simon called ,zelotes1 7the ,canaanite17 and ,judas ,iscariot1 who also betrayed him4 ,and he came down with them1 and stood in the plain1 and the company of his disciples1 and a great multitude of people out of all ,judea and ,jerusalem1 and from the sea coast of ,tyre and ,sidon1 which came to hear him1 and to be healed of their diseases2 and they that were vexed with unclean spirits3 and they were healed4 ,and the whole multitude sought to touch him3 for there went virtue out of him1 and he healed them all4 ,and he lifted up his eyes on his disciples1 and said1 ,blessed be ye poor3 for your's is the kingdom of ,god4 ,blessed are ye that hunger now3 for ye shall be filled4 ,blessed are ye that weep now3 for ye shall laugh4 ,blessed are ye when men shall hate you1 and when they shall separate you from their company1 and shall reproach you1 and cast out your name as evil1 for the ,son of man's sake4 ,rejoice ye in that day1 and leap for joy3 for1 behold1 your reward is great in heaven3 for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets4 ,but woe unto you that are rich6 for ye have received your consolation4 ,woe unto you that are full6 for ye shall hunger4 ,woe unto you that laugh now6 for ye shall mourn and weep4 ,woe unto you1 when all men shall speak well of you6 for so did their fathers to the false prophets4 ,but ,i say unto you which hear1 ,love your enemies1 do good to them which hate you1 ,bless them that curse you1 and pray for them which despitefully use you4 ,and unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek1 offer also the other2 and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also4 ,give to every man that asketh of thee2 and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again4 ,and as ye would that men should do to you1 do ye also to them likewise4 ,for if ye love them which love you1 what thank have ye8 for sinners also love those that love them4 ,and if ye do good to them which do good to you1 what thank have ye8 for sinners also do even the same4 ,and if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive1 what thank have ye8 for sinners also lend to sinners1 to receive as much again4 ,but love ye your enemies1 and do good1 and lend1 hoping for nothing again2 and your reward shall be great1 and ye shall be the children of the ,highest3 for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil4 ,be ye therefore merciful1 as your ,father

every one that is perfect shall be as his master4 ,and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye1 but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye8 ,either how canst thou say to thy

then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye4 ,for a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit2 neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit4 ,for every tree is known by his own fruit4 ,for of thorns men do not gather figs1 nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes4 ,a good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good2 and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil3 for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh4 ,and why call ye me1 ,lord1 ,lord1 and do not the things which ,i say8 ,whosoever cometh to me1 and heareth my sayings1 and doeth them1 ,i will shew you to whom he is like3 he is like a man which built an house1 and digged deep1 and laid the foundation on a rock3 and when the flood arose1 the stream beat vehemently upon that house1 and could not shake it3 for it was founded upon a rock4 ,but he that heareth1 and doeth not1 is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth2 against which the stream did beat vehemently1 and immediately it fell2 and the ruin of that house was great4 ,now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people1 he entered into ,capernaum4 ,and a certain centurion's servant1 who was dear unto him1 was sick and ready to die4 ,and when he heard of ,jesus1 he sent unto him the elders of the ,jews1 beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant4 ,and when they came to ,jesus1 they besought him instantly1 saying1 ,that he was worthy for whom he should do this3 ,for he loveth our nation1 and he hath built us a synagogue4 ,and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,i will come and heal him4 ,then ,jesus went with them4 ,and when he was now not far from the house1 the centurion sent friends to him1 saying unto him1 ,lord1 trouble not thyself3 for ,i am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof3 wherefore neither thought ,i myself worthy to come unto thee3 but speak the word only1 and my servant shall be healed4 ,for ,i also am a man set under authority1 having under me soldiers1 and ,i say unto one1 ,go1 and he goeth2 and to another1 ,come1 and he cometh2 and to my servant1 ,do this1 and he doeth it4 ,when ,jesus heard these things1 he marveled at him1 and turned him about1 and said unto the people that followed him1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,i have not found so great faith1 no1 not in ,israel4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,that many shall come from the east and west1 and shall sit down with ,abraham1 and ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 in the kingdom of heaven4 ,but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness3 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth4 ,and ,jesus said unto the centurion1 ,go thy way2 and as thou hast believed1 so be it done

,,nain--,,messengers ,,of ,,john--,,woes ,,on ,,capernaum4 ,and it came to pass the day after1 that he went into a city called ,nain3 and many of his disciples went with him1 and much people4 ,now when he came nigh to the gate of the city1 behold1 there was a dead man carried out1 the only son of his mother1 and she was a widow3 and much people of the city was with her4 ,and when the ,lord saw her1 he had compassion on her1 and said unto her1 ,weep not4 ,and he came and touched the bier1 and they that bare him stood still4 ,and he said1 ,young man1 ,i say unto thee1 ,arise4 ,and he that was dead sat up1 and began to speak4 ,and he delivered him to his mother4 ,and there came a fear on all3 and they glorified ,god1 saying1 ,that a great prophet is risen up among us2 and1 ,that ,god hath visited his people4 ,and this rumor of him went forth throughout all ,judea1 and throughout all the region round about4 ,and the disciples of ,john shewed him of all these things4 ,now when ,john had heard in the prison the works of ,christ1 he sent two of his disciples to ,jesus1 saying1 ,art thou he that should come8 or look we for another8 ,when the men were come unto him1 they said1 ,john ,baptist hath sent us unto thee1 saying1 ,art thou he that should come8 or look we for another8 ,and in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues1 and of evil spirits2 and unto many that were blind he gave sight4 ,then ,jesus answering said unto them1 ,go your way1 and tell ,john what things ye have seen and heard3 how that the blind receive their sight1 and the lame walk1 the lepers are cleansed1 and the deaf hear1 the dead are raised up1 and the poor have the gospel preached to them4 ,and blessed is he1 whosoever shall not be offended in me4 ,and when the messengers of ,john were departed1 ,jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning ,john1 ,what went ye out into the wilderness to see8 ,a reed shaken with the wind8 ,but what went ye out for to see8 ,a man clothed in soft raiment8 behold1 they that wear soft clothing--they which are gorgeously apparelled1 and live delicately1 are in king's courts4 ,but what went ye out for to see8 ,a prophet8 yea1 ,i say unto you1 and more than a prophet4 ,for this is he of whom it is written1 ,behold ,i send my messenger before thy face1 which shall prepare thy way before thee4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,among them that are born of women1 there hath not risen a greater prophet than ,john the ,baptist3 notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he4 ,and from the days of ,john the ,baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence1 and the violent take it by force4 ,for all the prophets and the law prophesied until ,john4 ,and if ye will receive it1 this is ,elias1 which was for to come4 ,he that hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,and all the people that heard him1 and the publicans1 justified ,god1 being baptized with the baptism of ,john4 ,but the ,pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of ,god against themselves1 being not baptized of him4 ,and the ,lord said1 ,whereunto then shall ,i liken the men of this generation8 and to what are they like8 ,they are like unto children sitting in the market place1 and calling one to another1 and saying1 ,we have piped unto you1 and ye have not danced2 we have mourned to you1 and ye have not wept4 ,for ,john the ,baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine2 and ye say1 ,he hath a devil4 ,the ,son of man is come eating and drinking2 and ye say1 ,behold a gluttonous man1 and a wine bibber1 a friend of publicans and sinners6 ,but wisdom is justified of all her children4 ,then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done1 because they repented not3 ,woe unto thee ,chorasin6 woe unto thee1 ,bethsaida6 for if the mighty works1 which were done in you1 had been done in ,tyre and ,sidon1 they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes4 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,it shall be more tolerable for ,tyre and ,sidon at the day of judgment1 than for you4 ,and thou1 ,capernaum1 which art exalted unto heaven1 shall be brought down to hell3 for if the mighty works1 which have been done in thee1 had been done in ,sodom1 it would have remained until this day4 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,that it shall be more tolerable for the land of ,sodom in the day of judgment1 than for thee4 ,at that time ,jesus answered and said1 ,i thank thee1 ,o ,father1 ,lord of heaven and earth1 because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent1 and hast revealed them unto babes4 ,even so ,father3 for so it seemed good in thy sight4 ,all things are delivered unto me of my ,father1 and no man knoweth the ,son1 but the ,father2 neither knoweth any man the ,father1 save the ,son1 and he to whomsoever the ,son will reveal him4 ,come unto me1 all ye that labor and are heavy laden1 and ,i will give you rest4 ,take my yoke upon you1 and learn of me2 for ,i

woman in the city1 which was a sinner1 when she knew that ,jesus sat at meat in the ,pharisee's house1 brought an alabaster box of ointment1 and stood at his feet behind him weeping1 and began to wash his feet with tears1 and did wipe them with the hairs of her head1 and kissed his feet1 and annointed them with the ointment4 ,now when the ,pharisee which had bidden him saw it1 he spake within himself1 saying1 ,this man1 if he were a prophet1 would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him3 for she is a sinner4 ,and ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,simon1 ,i have somewhat to say unto thee4 ,and he saith1 ,master1 say on4 ,there was a certain creditor which had two debtors3 the one owed five hundred pence1 and the other fifty4 ,and when they had nothing to pay1 he frankly forgave them both4 ,tell me therefore1 which of them will love him most8 ,simon answered and said1 ,i suppose that he1 to whom he forgave most4 ,and he said unto him1 ,thou hast rightly judged4 ,and he turned to the woman1 and said unto ,simon1 ,seest thou this woman8 ,i entered into thine house1 thou gavest me no water for my feet3 but she hath washed my feet with tears1 and wiped them with the hairs of her head4 ,thou gavest me no kiss2 but this woman since the time ,i came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet4 ,my head with oil thou didst not anoint3 but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment4 ,wherefore ,i say unto thee1 ,her sins1 which are many1 are forgiven2 for she loved much3 but to whom little is forgiven1 the same loveth little4 ,and he said unto her1 ,thy sins are forgiven4 ,and they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves1 ,who is this that forgiveth sins also8 ,and he said to the woman1 ,thy faith hath saved thee2 go in peace4 ,and it came to pass afterward1 that he went throughout every city and village1 preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of ,god3 and the twelve were with him4 ,and certain women1 which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities1 ,mary called ,magdalene1 out of whom went seven devils4 ,and ,joanna the wife of ,chuza1 ,herod's steward1 and ,susanna1 and many others1 which ministered unto him of their substance4 ,and they went into an house4 ,and the multitude cometh together again1 so that they could not so much as eat bread4 ,and when his friends heard of it1 they went out to lay hold on him3 for they said1 ,he is beside himself4 ,then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil1 blind1 and dumb2 and he healed him1 insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw4 ,and all the people were amazed1 and said1 ,is not this the son of ,david8 ,but when the ,pharisees and the scribes which came down from ,jerusalem heard it1 they said1 ,he hath ,beelzebub4 ,this fellow doth not cast out devils1 but by ,beelzebub the prince of the devils4 ,and ,jesus knew their thoughts4 ,and he called them unto him1 and said unto them in parables1 ,how can ,satan cast out ,satan8 ,and if a kingdom be divided against itself1 that kingdom cannot stand1 and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand3 and if ,satan cast out ,satan1 he is divided against himself2 how shall then his kingdom stand8 ,he cannot stand1 but hath an end4 ,and if ,i by ,beelzebub cast out devils1 by whom do your children cast them out8 therefore they shall be your judges4 ,but if ,i cast out devils by the ,spirit of ,god1 then the kingdom of ,god is come unto you4 ,or else how can one enter into a strong man's house1 and spoil his goods1 except he first bind the strong man8 and then he will spoil his house4 ,he that is not with me is against me2 and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad4 ,wherefore ,i say unto you1 ,all manner of sin shall be forgiven unto the sons of men1 and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme3 but the blasphemy against the ,holy ,ghost shall not be forgiven unto men4 ,and whosoever speaketh a word against the ,son of man it shall be forgiven him3 but whosoever speaketh against the ,holy ,ghost1 it shall not be forgiven him1 neither in this world1 neither in the world to come1 but is in danger of eternal damnation4 ,because they said1 ,he hath an unclean spirit4 ,either make the tree good1 and his fruit good2 or else make the tree corrupt1 and his fruit corrupt3 for the tree is known by his

sign be given to it1 but the sign of the prophet ,jonas3 for as ,jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly2 so shall the ,son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth4 ,the men of ,nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation1 and shall condemn it3 because they repented at the preaching of ,jonas2 and1 behold1 a greater than ,jonas is here4 ,the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation1 and shall condemn it3 for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of ,solomon2 and1 behold1 a greater than ,solomon is here4 ,when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man1 he walketh through dry places1 seeking rest1 and findeth none4 ,then he saith1 ,i will return into my house from whence ,i came out2 and when he is come1 he findeth it empty1 swept1 and garnished4 ,then goeth he1 and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself1 and they enter in and dwell there3 and the last state of that man is worse than the first4 ,even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation4 ,while he yet talked to the people1 behold his mother and his brethren stood without1 desiring to speak with him4 ,and the multitude sat about him4 ,then one said unto him1 ,behold1 thy mother and thy brethren stand without1 desiring to speak with thee4 ,but he answered and said unto him that told him1 ,who is my mother8 and who are my brethren8 ,and he looked round about on them which sat about him4 ,and he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples1 and said1 ,behold my mother and my brethren6 ,for whosoever shall do the will of my ,father which is in heaven1 the same is my brother1 and sister1 and mother4 ,the same day went ,jesus out of the house4 ,and he began again to teach by the seaside3 and great multitudes were gathered together1 and were come to him out of every city2 so that he entered into a ship1 and sat in the sea2 and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land4 ,and he taught them many things by parables1 and said unto them in his doctrine1 ,hearken2 ,behold1 there went out a sower to sow his seed3 and it came to pass1 as he sowed1 some seeds fell by the way-side1 and it was trodden down1 and the fowls of the air came and devoured them up4 ,some fell upon stony places1 where they had not much earth3 and forthwith they sprung up1 because they had no deepness of earth3 and when the sun was up1 they were scorched2 and because they had no root1 they withered away2 because it lacked moisture4 ,and some fell among thorns1 and the thorns grew up1 and choked it1 and it yielded no fruit4 ,and other fell on good ground1 and did yield fruit that sprang up1 and increased2 and brought forth1 some thirty1 some sixty1 and some an hundred4 ,and when he had said these things1 he cried1 ,he that hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,and the disciples came1 and said unto him1 ,why speakest thou unto them in parables8 ,he answered and said unto them1 ,because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven1 but to them it is not given4 ,for whosoever hath1 to him shall be given1 and he shall have more abundance3 but whosoever hath not1 from him shall be taken away even that he hath4 ,therefore speak ,i to them in parables3 because they seeing see not2 and hearing they hear not1 neither do they understand4 ,and in them is fulfilled the prophecy of ,esaias1 which saith1 ,by hearing ye shall hear1 and shall not understand2 and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive3 for this people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing1 and their eyes they have closed2 lest at any time they should see with their eyes1 and hear with their ears1 and should understand with their heart1 and should be converted1 and ,i should heal them4 ,but blessed are your eyes1 for they see3 and your ears1 for they hear4 ,for verily ,i say unto you1 ,that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see1 and have not seen them2 and to hear those things which ye hear1 and have not heard them4 ,another parable put he forth unto them1 saying1 ,the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field3 but while men slept1 his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat1 and went his way4 ,but when the blade was sprung up1 and brought forth fruit1 then appeared the tares also4 ,so the servants of the householder came and said unto him1 ,sir1 didst not thou sow good seed in thy field8 from whence then hath it tares8 ,he said unto them1 ,an enemy hath done this4 ,the servants said unto him1 ,wilt thou then that we go and gather them up8 ,but he said1 ,nay2 lest while ye gather up the tares1 ye root up also the wheat with them4 ,let both grow together until the harvest3 and in the time of harvest ,i will say to the reapers1 ,gather ye together first the tares1 and bind them in bundles to burn them3 but gather the wheat into my barn4 ,and he said1 ,so is the kingdom of ,god1 as if a man should cast seed into the ground2 and should sleep1 and rise night and day1 and the seed should spring and grow up1 he knoweth not how4 ,for the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself2 first the blade1 then the ear1 after that the full corn in the ear4 ,but when the fruit is brought forth1 immediately he putteth in the sickle1 because the harvest is come4 ,another parable put he forth unto them1 saying1 ,whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of ,god8 or with what comparison shall we compare it8 ,the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed1 which a man took1 and sowed in his field3 which1 when it is sown in the earth1 is less than all the seeds that be in the earth3 but when it is sown1 it groweth up1 and becometh greater than all herbs1 and shooteth out great branches1 and becometh a tree1 so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof4 ,another parable spake he unto them1 ,the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven1 which a woman took1 and hid in three measures of meal1 till the whole was leavened4 ,and with many such parables spake he the word unto them1 as they were able to hear it4 ,but without a parable spake he not unto them3 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet1 saying1 ,i will open my mouth in parables2 ,i will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world4 ,and when they were alone1 he expounded all things to his disciples4 ,,chapter ,,xx4 ,,parables ,,and ,,interpretations4 ,then ,jesus sent the multitude away1 and went into the house3 and when he was alone1 they that were about him with the twelve disciples asked him1 saying1 ,what might this parable be8 ,and he said unto them1 ,unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of ,god3 but unto them that are without1 all these things are done in parables2 that seeing they may see1 and not perceive2 and hearing they may hear1 and not understand2 lest at any time they should be converted1 and their sins should be forgiven them4 ,and he said unto them1 ,know ye not this parable8 and how then will ye know all parables4 ,hear ye therefore the parable of the sower4 ,now the parable is this3 ,the seed is the word of ,god4 ,the sower soweth the word4 ,those by the way-side where the word is sown1 are they that hear the word of the kingdom2 but when they have heard1 and understandeth it not1 then ,satan cometh immediately1 and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts3 lest they should believe and be saved4 ,this is he which received seed by the way-side4 ,and these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground2 who1 when they have heard the word1 immediately receive it with gladness2 and have no root in themselves1 and so endure but for a time3 afterward1 in time of temptation1 when affliction or persecution ariseth1 for the word's sake1 immediately they are offended1 and fall away4 ,and that which fell among thorns are they1 which1 when they have heard the word1 go forth1 and the cares of this world1 and the deceitfulness of riches1 and pleasures of this life1 and the lusts of other things entering in1 choke the word1 and it becometh unfruitful4 ,and these are they which are sown on good ground2 such as in an honest and good heart1 having heard the word1 keep it1 and bring forth fruit with patience2 some thirty-fold1 some sixty1 and some an hundred4 ,and he said unto them1 ,no man1 when he hath lighted a candle1 covereth it with a vessel1 or putteth it under a bushel1 or under a bed3 but setteth it on a candlestick1 that they which enter in may see the light4 ,for there is nothing hid1 which shall not be manifested2 neither was anything kept secret1 that shall not be known and come abroad4 ,if any man have ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,and he said unto them1 ,take heed what ye hear3 with what measure ye mete1 it shall be measured to you3 and unto you that hear shall more be given4 ,for he that hath1 to him shall be given3 and he that hath not1 from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have4 ,and his disciples came unto him1 saying1 ,declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field4 ,he answered and said unto them1 ,he that soweth the good seed is the ,son of man2 the field is the world2 the good seed are the children of the kingdom2 but the tares are the children of the wicked one2 the enemy that sowed them is the devil2 the harvest is the end of the world2 and the reapers are the angels4 ,as therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire3 so shall it be in the end of this world4 ,the ,son of man shall send forth his angels1 and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend1 and them which do iniquity2 and shall cast them into a furnace of fire3 there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth4 ,then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their ,father4 ,who hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,again1 the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field2 the which when a man hath found1 he hideth1 and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath1 and buyeth that field4 ,again1 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman1 seeking goodly pearls3 who1 when he had found one pearl of great price1 went and sold all that he had1 and bought it4 ,again1 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net1 that was cast into the sea1 and gathered of every kind3 which1 when it was full1 they drew to shore1 and sat down1 and gathered the good into vessels1 but cast the bad away4 ,so shall it be at the end of the world3 the angels shall come forth1 and sever the wicked from among the just1 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire3 there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,have ye understood all these things8 ,they say unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord4 ,then said he unto them1 ,therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder1 which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old4 ,then came to him his mother and his brethren1 and could not come at him for the press4 ,and it was told him by certain which said1 ,thy mother and thy brethren stand without1 desiring to see thee4 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,my mother and my brethren are those which hear the word of ,god and do it4 ,,chapter ,,xxi4 ,,the ,,homeless ,,saviour--,,the ,,storm--,,demoniac4 ,and it came to pass1 that when ,jesus had finished these parables1 he departed thence4 ,and the same day1 when the even was come1 when ,jesus saw great multitudes about him1 he gave commandment to depart unto the other side4 ,and a certain scribe came1 and said unto him1 ,master1 ,i will follow thee whithersoever thou goest4 ,and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,the foxes have holes1 and the birds of the air have nests2 but the ,son of man hath not where to lay his head4 ,and another of his disciples said unto him1 ,lord1 suffer me first to go and bury my father4 ,but ,jesus said unto him1 ,follow me2 and let the dead bury their dead4 ,and when they had sent away the multitude1 and when he was entered into a ship1 his disciples followed him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,let us go over unto the other side of the lake4 ,and there were also with him other little ships4 ,and they launched forth4 ,but as they sailed he fell asleep3 and1 behold1 there came down a great storm of wind1 on the lake3 and the waves beat into the ship1 insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves2 and they were filled with water1 and were in jeopardy4 ,and he was in the hinder part of the ship1 asleep on a pillow3 and his disciples came to him1 and awoke him1 saying1 ,lord1 save us3 ,master1 master1 carest thou not that we perish8 ,and he saith unto them1 ,why are ye fearful1 ,o ye of little faith8 ,then he arose and rebuked the winds1 and the raging of the water3 and said unto the sea1 ,peace1 be still4 ,and the wind ceased1 and there was a great calm4 ,and he said unto them1 ,why are ye so fearful8 how is it that ye have no faith8 ,but the men marvelled1 and they feared exceedingly1 and said one to another1 ,what manner of man is this8 for he commandeth even the winds and water1 and they obey him4 ,and they came over unto the other side of the sea1 into the country of the ,gadarenes1 which is over against ,galilee4 ,and when he went forth to land1 there met him out of the city a certain man1 which had devils long time1 and ware no clothes1 neither abode in any house1 but in the tombs2 exceeding fierce1 so that no man might pass by that way3 and no man could bind him1 no1 not with chains3 because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains1 and the chains had been plucked asunder by him1 and the fetters broken in pieces3 neither could any man tame him4 ,and always1 night and day1 he was in the mountains1 and in the tombs1 crying1 and cutting himself with stones4 ,but when he saw ,jesus afar off1 he ran and fell down before him1 and worshipped him1 and cried with a loud voice1 and said1 ,what have ,i to do with thee1 ,jesus1 thou ,son of the most high ,god8 ,art thou come hither to torment us before the time8 ,i adjure thee by ,god1 that thou torment me not4 ,for he said unto him1 ,come out of the man thou unclean spirit4 7,for oftentimes it had caught him3 and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters2 and he brake the bands1 and was driven of the devil into the wilderness47 ,and ,jesus asked him1 saying1 ,what is thy name8 ,and he said ,legion3 because many devils were entered into him4 ,and they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep4 ,and there was a good way off from them1 nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding4 ,and all the devils besought him1 saying1 ,if thou cast us out1 suffer us to go away into the herd of swine1 that we may enter into them4 ,and forthwith ,jesus gave them leave4 ,and the unclean spirits went out1 and entered into the swine3 and1 behold1 the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea1 7they were about two thousand27 and were choked in the sea4 ,when they that fed them saw what was done1 they fled1 and went and told it in the city and in the country3 and told everything1 and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils4 ,and1 behold1 the whole city came out to see what it was that was done4 ,and they come to ,jesus1 and found the man1 out of whom the devils were departed1 sitting at the feet of ,jesus1 clothed1 and in his right mind3 and they were afraid4 ,they also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed2 and also concerning the swine4 ,then the whole multitude of the country of the ,gadarenes round about1 besought him that he would depart out of their coast3 for they were taken with great fear3 and he went up into the ship1 and returned back again4 ,and when he was come into the ship1 the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him3 howbeit ,jesus suffered him not1 but saith unto him1 ,go home to thy friends1 and tell them how great things the ,lord hath done for thee1 and hath had compassion on thee4 ,and he departed and began to publish throughout the whole city 7in ,decapolis7 how great things ,jesus had done for him3 and all men did marvel4 ,and he entered into a ship1 and passed over1 and came into his own city4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 when ,jesus was returned again by ship unto the other side1 much people gladly received him3 for they were all waiting for him4 ,and he was nigh unto the sea4 ,,chapter ,,xxii4 ,,child ,,healed--,,touch ,,of ,,faith--,,two ,,blind ,,men--,,eats ,,with ,,publicans1 ,,etc4 ,and it came to pass1 as ,jesus sat at meat in the house1 behold1 many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples4 ,and when the ,pharisees saw it1 they said unto his disciples1 ,why eateth your ,master with publicans and sinners8 ,but when ,jesus heard that1 he said unto them1 ,they that be whole need not a physician1 but they that are sick4 ,but go ye and learn what that meaneth1 ,i will have mercy1 and not sacrifice3 for ,i am not come to call the righteous1 but sinners to repentance4 ,then came to him the disciples of ,john1 saying1 ,why do we and the ,pharisees fast oft1 but thy disciples fast not8 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,can the children of the bridechamber mourn1 as long as the bridegroom is with them8 but the days will come1 when the bridegroom shall be taken from them1 and then shall they fast4 ,no man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment1 for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment1 and the rent is made worse4 ,neither do men put new wine into old bottles3 else the bottles break1 and the wine runneth out1 and the bottles perish3 but they put new wine into new bottles1 and both are preserved4 ,while he spake these things unto them1 behold1 there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue1 ,jairus by name2 and when he saw him1 he fell down at ,jesus' feet1 and besought him greatly1 that he would come into his house2 saying1 ,my little daughter lieth at the point of death3 ,i pray thee come and lay thy hands on her1 that she may be healed2 and she shall live4 ,for he had one only daughter1 about twelve years of age1 and she lay a dying4 ,and ,jesus arose1 and followed him1 and so did his disciples2 and much people followed him1 and thronged him4 ,and1 behold1 a woman1 which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years1 and had suffered many things of many physicians1 and had spent all that she had1 and was nothing bettered1 neither could be healed of any1 but rather grew worse1 when she had heard of ,jesus1 came in the press behind1 and touched the hem of his garment3 for she said within herself1 ,if ,i may but touch his garment1 ,i shall be whole4 ,and straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up2 and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague4 ,and ,jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him1 turned him about in the press1 and said4 ,who touched my clothes8 ,when all denied1 ,peter1 and they that were with him1 said1 ,master1 ,thou seest the multitude throng thee and press thee1 and sayest thou1 ,who touched me8 ,and ,jesus said1 ,somebody hath touched me3 for ,i perceive that virtue hath gone out of me4 ,and he looked round about to see her that had done this thing4 ,and when the woman saw that she was not hid1 she came fearing and trembling1 knowing what was done in her1 and falling down before him1 she declared unto him all the truth1 before all the people1 for what cause she had touched him1 and how she was healed immediately4 ,and when he saw her1 he said unto her1 ,daughter1 be of good comfort2 thy faith hath made thee whole2 go in peace1 and be whole of thy plague4 ,and the woman was made whole from that hour4 ,while he yet spake1 there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said1 ,thy daughter is dead3 why troublest thou the ,master any further8 ,as soon as ,jesus heard the word that was spoken1 he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue1 ,be not afraid1 only believe1 and she shall be made whole4 ,and he suffered no man to follow him1 save ,peter1 and ,james1 and ,john the brother of ,james4 ,and when ,jesus came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue1 and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise1 and them that wept and wailed greatly1 he suffered no man to go in1 save ,peter1 and ,james1 and ,john1 and the father and the mother of the maiden4 ,and all wept1 and bewailed her4 ,and when he was come in1 he saith unto them1 ,why make ye this ado1 and weep8 ,give place3 for the maid is not dead1 but sleepeth4 ,and they laughed him to scorn1 knowing that she was dead4 ,but when he had put them all out1 he taketh the ,father and the mother of the damsel1 and them that were with him1 and entered in where the damsel was lying4 ,and he took the damsel by the hand1 and said unto her1 ,talitha cumi2 which is1 being interpreted1 ,damsel1 ,i say unto thee1 ,arise4 ,and her spirit came again1 and she arose straightway1 and walked3 for she was of the age of twelve years4 ,and her parents were astonished with a great astonishment4 ,and he charged them straitly that no man should know it3 and commanded that something should be given her to eat4 ,and the fame hereof went abroad into all that land4 ,and when ,jesus departed thence1 two blind men followed him1 crying and saying1 ,thou ,son of ,david1 have mercy on us4 ,and when he was come into the house1 the blind men came to him3 and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,believe ye that ,i am able to do this8 ,they said unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord4 ,then touched he their eyes1 saying1 ,according to your faith be it unto you4 ,and their eyes were opened3 and ,jesus straitly charged them1 saying1 ,see that no man know it4 ,but they1 when they were departed1 spread abroad his fame in all that country4 ,as they went out1 behold1 they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil4 ,and when the devil was cast out1 the dumb spake3 and the multitudes marvelled1 saying1 ,it was never so seen in ,israel4 ,but the ,pharisees said1 ,he casteth out devils through the prince of the devils4 ,,chapter ,,xxiii4 ,,revisits ,,nazareth--,,sends ,,out ,,the ,,twelve ,,with ,,instructions4 ,and he went out from thence1 and came into his own country2 and his disciples follow him4 ,and when he was come into his own country1 and when the sabbath day was come1 he began to teach in the synagogue3 and many hearing him were astonished1 saying1 ,from whence hath this man these things8 ,and what wisdom is this which is given unto him1 that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands8 ,is not this the carpenter8 7the carpenter's son87 ,is not his mother called ,mary8 and his brethren1 ,james1 and ,joses1 and ,simon1 and ,judas8 ,and his sisters1 are they not all with us8 ,whence then hath this man all these things8 ,and they were offended in him4 ,but ,jesus said unto them1 ,a prophet is not without honor1 save in his own country1 and among his own kin1 and in his own house4 ,illustration3 ,nazareth--,residence of ,jesus in ,youth4 ,and he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief1 save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk1 and healed them4 ,and he marvelled because of their unbelief4 ,and ,jesus went about all the cities and villages1 teaching in their synagogues1 and preaching the gospel of the kingdom1 and healing every sickness and every disease among the people4 ,but when he saw the multitudes1 he was moved with compassion on them1 because they fainted1 and were scattered abroad1 as sheep having no shepherd4 ,then saith he unto his disciples1 ,the harvest truly is plenteous1 but the laborers are few2 pray ye therefore the ,lord of the harvest1 that he will send forth laborers into his harvest4 ,and when he had called unto him his twelve disciples1 he gave them power and authority over all devils1 to cast them out1 and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease4 ,and he sent them forth by two and two3 to preach the kingdom of ,god1 and to heal the sick4 ,these twelve1 ,jesus sent forth1 and commanded them saying1 ,go not into the way of the ,gentiles1 and into any city of the ,samaritans enter ye not3 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of ,israel4 ,and as ye go1 preach1 saying1 ,the kingdom of heaven is at hand4 ,heal the sick1 cleanse the lepers1 raise the dead1 cast out devils3 freely ye have received1 freely give4 ,and he said unto them1 ,take nothing for your journey1 save a staff only2 provide neither gold1 nor silver1 nor brass in your purses1 nor scrip for your journey1 neither two coats1 neither shoes1 but be shod with sandals2 for the workman is worthy of his meat4 ,and into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter1 enquire who in it is worthy2 and there abide till ye go thence4 ,and when ye come into an house1 salute it4 ,and if the house be worthy1 let your peace come upon it3 but if it be not worthy1 let your peace return to you4 ,and whosoever shall not receive you1 nor hear your words1 when ye depart out of that house or city1 shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,it shall be more tolerable for the land of ,sodom and ,gomorrah in the day of judgment1 than for that city4 ,behold1 ,i send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves3 be ye therefore wise as serpents1 and harmless as doves4 ,but beware of men3 for they will deliver you up to the councils1 and they will scourge you in their synagogues2 and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake1 for a testimony against them and the ,gentiles4 ,but when they deliver you up1 take no thought how or what ye shall speak3 for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak4 ,for it is not ye that speak1 but the ,spirit of your ,father which speaketh in you4 ,and the brother shall deliver up the brother to death1 and the father the child3 and the children shall rise up against their parents1 and cause them to be put to death4 ,and ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake3 but he that endureth to the end shall be saved4 ,but when they persecute you in this city1 flee ye into another3 for verily ,i say unto you1 ,ye shall not have gone over the cities of ,israel1 till the ,son of man be come4 ,the disciple is not above his master1 nor the servant above his lord4 ,it is enough for the disciple that he be as his master1 and the servant as his lord4 ,if they have called the master of the house ,beelzebub1 how much more shall they call them of his household8 ,fear them not therefore3 for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed2 and hid that shall not be known4 ,what ,i tell you in darkness that speak ye in light3 and what ye hear in the ear1 that preach ye upon the house-tops4 ,and fear not them which kill the body1 but are not able to kill the soul3 but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell4 ,are not two sparrows sold for a farthing8 and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your ,father4 ,but the very hairs of your head are all numbered4 ,fear ye not therefore1 ye are of more value than many sparrows4 ,whosoever therefore shall confess me before men1 him will ,i confess also before my ,father which is in heaven4 ,but whosoever shall deny me before men1 him will ,i also deny before my ,father which is in heaven4 ,think not that ,i am come to send peace on earth3 ,i came not to send peace1 but a sword4 ,for ,i am come to set a man at variance against his father1 and the daughter against her mother1 and the daughter in law against her mother in law4 ,and a man's foes shall be they of his own household4 ,he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me3

,and they cast out many devils1 and anointed with oil many that were sick1 and healed them4 ,,chapter ,,xxiv4 ,,john ,,the ,,baptist ,,beheaded ,,by ,,order ,,of ,,herod4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples1 he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities4 ,at that time ,herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of ,jesus1 of all that was done by him3 7for his name was spread abroad37 and he was perplexed1 because that it was said of some1 that ,john was risen from the dead3 and of some that ,elias had appeared2 and of others1 that one of the old prophets was risen again4 ,and ,herod said1 ,john have ,i beheaded3 but who is this1 of whom ,i hear such things8 ,and 7he7 said unto his servants1 ,this is ,john the ,baptist2 he is risen from the dead2 and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him3 and he desired to see him4 ,others said1 ,that it is ,elias4 ,and others said1 ,that it is a prophet1 or as one of the prophets4 ,but when ,herod heard thereof1 he said1 it is ,john1 whom ,i beheaded3 he is risen from the dead4 ,for ,herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon ,john1 and bound him in prison for ,herodias' sake1 his brother ,philip's wife3 for he had married her4 ,for ,john had said unto ,herod1 ,it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife4 ,therefore ,herodias had a quarrel against him1 and would have killed him2 but she could not3 for ,herod feared ,john1 knowing that he was a just man and an holy1 and observed him2 and when he heard him1 he did many things1 and heard him gladly4 ,and when a convenient day was come1 that ,herod on his birth day made a supper to his lords1 high captains1 and chief estates of ,galilee2 and when the daughter of the said ,herodias came in1 and danced1 and pleased ,herod and them that sat with him1 the king said unto the damsel1 ,ask of me whatsoever thou wilt1 and ,i will give it thee4 ,whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask4 ,and he sware unto her1 ,whatsoever thou shalt ask of me1 ,i will give it thee1 unto the half of my kingdom4 ,and she went forth1 and said unto her mother1 ,what shall ,i ask8 ,and she said1 ,the head of ,john the ,baptist4 ,and she1 being before instructed of her mother1 came in straightway with haste unto the king1 and asked saying1 ,i will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of ,john the ,baptist4 ,and the king was exceedingly sorry3 yet for his oath's sake1 and for their sakes which sat with him1 he would not reject her4 ,and immediately the king sent an executioner1 and commanded his head to be brought2 and he went and beheaded him in the prison4 ,and brought his head in a charger1 and gave it to the damsel3 and the damsel gave it to her mother4 ,and when his disciples heard of it1 they came and took up his corpse1 and laid it in a tomb1 and went and told ,jesus4 ,,chapter ,,xxv4 ,,jesus ,,feeds ,,five ,,thousand ,,with ,,five ,,loaves ,,and ,,two ,,fishes4 ,and the apostles1 when they were returned1 gathered themselves together unto ,jesus1 and told him all things1 both what they had done1 and what they had taught4 ,and he said unto them1 ,come ye yourselves apart into a desert place1 and rest awhile4 ,for there were many coming and going1 and they had no leisure so much as to eat4 ,after these things ,jesus went over the sea of ,galilee1 which is the sea of ,tiberias1 by ship privately1 into a desert place belonging to the city called ,bethsaida4 ,and the people saw them departing1 and many knew him1 and ran afoot thither out of all cities1 and outwent them1 and came together unto him1 because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased4 ,and ,jesus1 when he came out1 saw much people1 and was moved with compassion toward them1 because they were as sheep not having a shepherd3 and he began to teach them many things2 and spake unto them of the kingdom of ,god1 and healed them that had need of healing4 ,and ,jesus went up into a mountain1 and there he sat with his disciples4 ,and the passover1 a feast of the ,jews1 was nigh4 ,when ,jesus then lifted up his eyes1 and saw a great company come unto him1 he saith unto ,philip1 ,whence shall we buy bread1 that these may eat8 ,and this he said to prove him3 for he himself knew what he would do4 ,philip answered him1 ,two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them1 that every one of them may take a little4 ,and when it was evening1 his disciples1 the twelve1 came unto him1 and said1 ,this is a desert place1 and now the time is far passed3 send them away1 that they may go into the towns and country round about1 and lodge1 and buy themselves bread3 for they have nothing to eat3 for we are here in a desert place4 ,but ,jesus said unto them1 ,they need not depart2 give ye them to eat4 ,and they say unto him1 ,shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread1 and give them to eat8 ,he saith unto them1 ,how many loaves have ye8 go and see4 ,and when they knew1 one of his disciples1 ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's brother1 saith unto him1 ,there is a lad here1 which hath five barley loaves1 and two small fishes3 but what are they among so many8 ,we have no more but five loaves and two fishes3 except we should go and buy meat for all this people4 ,for they were about five thousand men4 ,he said1 ,bring them hither to me4 ,and he said to his disciples1 ,make them sit down by fifties in a company upon the green grass4 ,now there was much grass in the place4 ,so the men sat down1 in ranks1 by hundreds1 and by fifties1 in number about five thousand4 ,and when ,jesus had taken the five loaves and the two fishes1 and when he had given thanks1 looking up to heaven1 he blessed them and brake the loaves1 and gave the loaves to his disciples1 and the disciples to the multitude that were set down3 and likewise the two fishes divided he among them all2 as much as they would4 ,and they did all eat1 and were filled4 ,when they were filled1 he said unto his disciples1 ,gather up the fragments that remain1 that nothing be lost4 ,therefore they gathered them together1 and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves1 and of the fishes1 which remained over and above unto them that had eaten4 ,and they that had eaten were about five thousand men1 beside women and children4 ,,chapter ,,xxvi4 ,,walks ,,on ,,the ,,sea--,,mountain ,,closet--,,peter ,,sinking4 ,then those men when they had seen the miracle that ,jesus did1 said1 ,this is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world4 ,and straightway ,jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship1 and to go before him unto the other side1 unto ,bethsaida1 while he sent away the people4 ,when ,jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force1 to make him a king1 and when he had sent the multitudes away1 he departed again into a mountain himself alone1 to pray4 ,and when even was now come1 his disciples went down unto the sea1 and entered into a ship1 and went over the sea toward ,capernaum4 ,and it was now dark1 and ,jesus was not come to them4 ,but the ship was now in the midst of the sea1 tossed with waves3 for the wind was contrary3 and he alone on the land4 ,and the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew4 ,and he saw them toiling in rowing3 for the wind was contrary unto them4 ,so when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs1 and about the fourth watch of the night1 they see ,jesus walking on the sea1 and drawing nigh unto the ship3 and would have passed by them4 ,and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea1 they were troubled1 saying1 ,it is a spirit2 and they cried out for fear3 for they all saw him1 and were troubled4 ,but straightway ,jesus spake unto them1 saying1 ,be of good cheer2 it is ,i2 be not afraid4 ,and ,peter answered him and said1 ,lord1 if it be thou1 bid me come unto thee on the water4 ,and he said1 ,come4 ,and when ,peter was come down out of the ship1 he walked on the water to go to ,jesus4 ,but when he saw the wind boisterous1 he was afraid2 and beginning to sink1 he cried1 saying1 ,lord1 save me4 ,and immediately ,jesus stretched forth his hand1 and caught him1 and said unto him1 ,o thou of little faith1 wherefore didst thou doubt8 ,then they willingly received him into the ship4 ,and when they were come into the ship the wind ceased3 and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went4 ,then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him1 saying1 ,of a truth thou art the ,son of ,god4 ,and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure1 and wondered4 ,for they considered not the miracle of the loaves3 for their heart was hardened4 ,and when they had passed over1 they came into the land of ,gennesaret1 and drew to the shore4 ,and when they were come out of the ship1 and when the men of that place had knowledge of him1 they sent out into all that country2 and ran through that whole region round about1 and began to carry about in beds those that were sick1 where they heard he was4 ,and whithersoever he entered1 into villages1 or cities1 or country1 they laid the sick in the streets1 and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment3 and as many as touched him were made whole4 ,the day following when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there1 save that one whereinto his disciples were entered1 and that ,jesus went not with his disciples into the boat1 but that his disciples were gone away alone3 7howbeit there came other boats from ,tiberias1 nigh unto the place where they did eat bread1 after that the ,lord had given thanks27 when the people therefore saw that ,jesus was not there1 neither his disciples1 they also took shipping1 and came to ,capernaum1 seeking for ,jesus4 ,,chapter ,,xxvii4 ,,jesus ,,the ,,bread ,,of ,,life ,,for ,,the ,,world4 ,and when they had found him on the other side of the sea1 they said unto him1 ,rabbi1 when camest thou hither8 ,jesus answered them and said1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,ye seek me1 not because ye saw the miracles1 but because ye did eat of the loaves1 and were filled4 ,labor not for the meat which perisheth1 but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life1 which the ,son of man shall give unto you3 for him hath ,god the ,father sealed4 ,then said they unto him1 ,what shall we do1 that we might work the works of ,god8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,this is the work of ,god1 that ye believe on him whom he hath sent4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,what sign showest thou then1 that we may see1 and believe thee8 what dost thou work8 ,our fathers did eat manna in the desert2 as it is written1 ,he gave them bread from heaven to eat4 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,moses gave you not that bread from heaven2 but my ,father giveth you the true bread from heaven4 ,for the bread of ,god is he that cometh down from heaven1 and giveth life unto the world4 ,then said they unto him1 ,lord1 evermore give us this bread4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,i am the bread of life3 he that cometh to me shall never hunger2 and he that believeth on me shall never thirst4 ,but ,i said unto you1 ,that ye also have seen me1 and believe not4 ,all that the ,father giveth me shall come to me2 and him that cometh to me ,i will in no wise cast out4 ,for ,i came down from heaven1 not to do mine own will1 but the will of him that sent me4 ,and this is the ,father's will which hath sent me1 that of all which he hath given me1 ,i should lose nothing1 but should raise it up again at the last day4 ,and this is the will of him that sent me1 that every one which seeth the ,son1 and believeth on him1 may have everlasting life3 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,the ,jews then murmured at him1 because he said1 ,i am the bread which came down from heaven4 ,and they said1 ,is not this ,jesus the son of ,joseph1 whose father and mother we know8 how is it then that he saith1 ,i came down from heaven8 ,jesus therefore answered and said unto them1 ,murmur not among yourselves4 ,no man can come to me1 except the ,father which hath sent me draw him3 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,it is written in the prophets1 ,and they shall be all taught of ,god4 ,every man therefore that hath heard1 and hath learned of the ,father1 cometh unto me4 ,not that any man hath seen the ,father1 save he which is of ,god1 he hath seen the ,father4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that believeth on me hath everlasting life4 ,i am that bread of life4 ,your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness1 and are dead4 ,this is the bread which cometh down from heaven1 that a man may eat thereof1 and not die4 ,i am the living bread which came down from heaven3 if any man eat of this bread1 he shall live forever3 and the bread that ,i will give is my flesh1 which ,i will give for the life of the world4 ,the ,jews therefore strove among themselves saying1 ,how can this man give us his flesh to eat8 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,except ye eat the flesh of the ,son of man1 and drink his blood1 ye have no life in you4 ,whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood1 hath eternal life2 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,for my flesh is meat indeed1 and my blood is drink indeed4 ,he that eateth my flesh1 and drinketh my blood1 dwelleth in me1 and ,i in him4 ,as the living ,father hath sent me1 and ,i live by the ,father1 so he that eateth me1 even he shall live by me4 ,this is that bread which came down from heaven2 not as your fathers did eat manna1 and are dead3 he that eateth of this bread shall live forever4 ,these things said he in the synagogue1 as he taught in ,capernaum4 ,many therefore of his disciples1 when they had heard this1 said1 ,this is an hard saying2 who can hear it8 ,when ,jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it1 he said unto them1 ,doth this offend you8 ,what and if ye shall see the ,son of man ascend up where he was before8 ,it is the ,spirit that quickeneth2 the flesh profiteth nothing3 the words that ,i speak unto you1 they are spirit1 and they are life4 ,but there are some of you that believe not4 ,for ,jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not1 and who should betray him4 ,and he said1 ,therefore ,i said unto you1 that no man can come unto me1 except it were given unto him of my ,father4 ,from that time many of his disciples went back1 and walked no more with him4 ,then said ,jesus unto the twelve1 ,will ye also go away8 ,then ,simon ,peter answered him1 ,lord1 to whom shall we go8 thou hast the words of eternal life4 ,and we believe and are sure that thou art that ,christ1 the ,son of the living ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,have not ,i chosen you twelve1 and one of you is a devil4 ,he spake of ,judas ,iscariot1 the son of ,simon2 for he it was that should betray him1 being one of the twelve4 ,,chapter ,,xxviii4 ,,pharisees ,,murmur--,,washings ,,and ,,other ,,traditions4 ,then came together unto him the ,pharisees1 and certain of the scribes1 which came from ,jerusalem4 ,and when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled1 that is to say1 with unwashen hands1 they found fault4 ,for the ,pharisees1 and all the ,jews1 except they wash their hands oft1 eat not1 holding the tradition of the elders4 ,and when they come from the market1 except they wash1 they eat not4 ,and many other things there be1 which they have received to hold1 as the washing of cups1 and pots1 brazen vessels1 and of tables4 ,then the ,pharisees and scribes asked him1 ,why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders8 for they wash not their hands when they eat bread4 ,but he answered and said unto them1 ,why do ye also transgress the commandment of ,god by your tradition8 ,full well ye reject the commandment of ,god1 that ye may keep your own tradition4 ,for ,god commanded1 saying1 ,honor thy father and mother3 and1 ,he that curseth father or mother1 let him die the death4 ,but ye say1 ,whosoever shall say to his father or his mother1 ,it is ,corban1 that is to say1 a gift1 by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me2 and honor not his father or his mother1 he shall be free4 ,thus have ye made the commandment of ,god of none effect by your tradition4 ,and ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother2 making the word of ,god of none effect through your tradition1 which ye have delivered3 and many such like things do ye4 ,ye hypocrites1 well did ,esaias prophesy of you1 saying1 ,this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth1 and honoreth me with their lips2 but their heart is far from me4 ,but in vain do they worship me1 teaching for doctrines the commandments of men4 ,for laying aside the commandment of ,god1 ye hold the tradition of men1 as the washing of pots and cups3 and many other such things ye do4 ,and when he had called all the people unto him1 he said unto them1 ,hearken unto me every one of you1 and understand3 there is nothing from without a man1 that entering into him can defile him3 but the things which come out of him1 those are they that defile the man4 ,if any man have ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,and when he was entered into the house from the people1 then came his disciples1 and said unto him1 ,knowest thou that the ,pharisees were offended1 after they heard this saying8 ,but he answered and said1 ,every plant1 which my heavenly ,father hath not planted1 shall be rooted up4 ,let them alone3 they be blind leaders of the blind4 ,and if the blind lead the blind1 both shall fall into the ditch4 ,then answered ,peter1 and said unto him1 ,declare unto us this parable4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,are ye also yet without understanding8 ,do not ye yet understand1 that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man1 it cannot defile him2 because it entereth not into his heart1 but into the belly1 and goeth out into the draught1 purging all meats8 ,but those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart2 and they defile the man4 ,for from within1 out of the heart of men1 proceed evil thoughts1 adulteries1 fornications1 murders1 thefts1 covetousness1 wickedness1 false witness1 deceit1 lasciviousness1 an evil eye1 blasphemy1 pride1 foolishness3 all these evil things come from within1 and defile the man3 but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man4 ,,chapter ,,xxix4 ,,syrophenician ,,woman--,,blind ,,men--,,feeds ,,four ,,thousand4 ,then ,jesus went thence1 and departed into the coasts of ,tyre and ,sidon4 ,and1 behold1 a woman of ,canaan came out of the same coasts1 and cried unto him1 saying1 ,have mercy on me1 ,o ,lord thou ,son of ,david3 my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil4 ,but he answered her not a word4 ,and his disciples came and besought him1 saying1 ,send her away1 for she crieth after us4 ,but he answered and said1 ,i am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of ,israel4 ,and 7he7 entered into an house1 and would have no man know it3 but he could not be hid4 ,for a certain woman1 whose young daughter had an unclean spirit1 heard of him1 and came and fell at his feet1 and worshipped him1 saying1 ,lord1 help me4 ,the woman was a ,greek1 a ,syrophenician by nation3 and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter4 ,but ,jesus said unto her1 ,let the children first be filled2 for it is not meet to take the children's bread1 and to cast it unto the dogs4 ,and she answered and said unto him1 ,truth1 ,lord3 yet the dogs under the table1 eat of the children's crumbs which fall from their masters' table4 ,then ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,o woman1 great is thy faith3 be it unto thee even as thou wilt4 ,and he said unto her1 ,for this saying go thy way2 the devil is gone out of thy daughter4 ,and her daughter was made whole from that very hour4 ,and when she was come to her house1 she found the devil gone out1 and her daughter laid upon the bed4 ,and again ,jesus departed from the coasts of ,tyre and ,sidon1 and came nigh unto the sea of ,galilee3 through the midst of the coasts of ,decapolis4 ,and they bring unto him one that was deaf1 and had an impediment in his speech2 and they beseech him to put his hand upon him4 ,and he took him aside from the multitude1 and put his fingers into his ears1 and he spit1 and touched his tongue2 and looking up to heaven1 he sighed1 and saith unto him1 ,ephphatha1 that is1 ,be opened4 ,and straightway his ears were opened1 and the string of his tongue was loosed1 and he spake plain4 ,and he charged them that they should tell no man3 but the more he charged them1 so much the more a great deal they published it2 and were beyond measure astonished1 saying1 ,he hath done all things well3 he maketh both the deaf to hear1 and the dumb to speak4 ,and 7,jesus7 went up into a mountain1 and sat down there4 ,and great multitudes came unto him1 having with them those that were lame1 blind1 dumb1 maimed1 and many others1 and cast them down at ,jesus' feet2 and he healed them2 insomuch that the multitude wondered1 when they saw the dumb to speak1 the maimed to be whole1 the lame to walk1 and the blind to see3 and they glorified the ,god of ,israel4 ,in those days the multitude being very great1 and having nothing to eat1 ,jesus called his disciples unto him1 and saith unto them1 ,i have compassion on the multitude1 because they have now been with me three days1 and have nothing to eat3 and if ,i send them away fasting to their own houses1 they will faint by the way4 ,for divers of them came from far4 ,and his disciples say unto him1 ,whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness1 as to fill so great a multitude8 ,and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,how many loaves have ye8 ,and they said1 ,seven1 and a few little fishes4 ,and he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground4 ,and he took the seven loaves and the fishes1 and gave thanks1 and brake them1 and gave to his disciples1 to set before them2 and they did set them before the people4 ,and they had a few small fishes2 and he blessed1 and commanded to set them also before them4 ,and they did all eat1 and were filled3 and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full4 ,and they that did eat were four thousand men1 beside women and children4 ,,chapter ,,xxx4 ,,pharisees ,,ask ,a ,,sign--,,reasons ,,for ,,faith--,,blind ,,men4 ,and he sent away the multitude4 ,and straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples1 and came into the parts of ,dalmanutha4 ,the ,pharisees also with the ,sadducees came forth1 and began to question with him1 and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven4 ,he answered and said unto them1 ,when it is evening1 ye say1 ,it will be fair weather3 for the sky is red4 ,and in the morning1 ,it will be foul weather to day3 for the sky is red and lowering4 ,o ye hypocrites1 ye can discern the face of the sky2 but can ye not discern the signs of the times8 ,a wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign2 and there shall no sign be given unto it1 but the sign of the prophet ,jonas4 ,and he sighed deeply in his spirit1 and saith1 ,why doth this generation seek after a sign8 verily ,i say unto you1 ,there shall no sign be given unto this generation4 ,and he left them1 and entering into the ship again departed to the other side4 ,and when his disciples were come to the other side1 they had forgotten to take bread1 neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf4 ,then ,jesus charged them1 saying1 ,take heed and beware of the leaven of the ,pharisees and of the ,sadducees1 and of the leaven of ,herod4 ,and they reasoned among themselves1 saying1 ,it is because we have taken no bread4 ,which when ,jesus perceived1 he said unto them1 ,o ye of little faith1 ,why reason ye among yourselves1 because ye have brought no bread8 ,do ye not yet understand8 ,perceive ye not yet1 neither understand8 ,have ye your heart yet hardened8 ,having eyes1 see ye not8 and having ears1 hear ye not8 and do ye not remember the five loaves of the five thousand1 and how many baskets ye took up8 ,neither the seven loaves of the four thousand1 and how many baskets ye took up8 ,when ,i brake the five loaves among five thousand1 how many baskets full of fragments took ye up8 ,they say unto him1 ,twelve4 ,and when the seven among four thousand1 how many baskets full of fragments took ye up8 ,and they said1 ,seven4 ,and he said unto them1 ,how is it that ye do not understand that ,i spake it not to you concerning bread1 that ye should beware of the leaven of the ,pharisees and of the ,sadducees4 ,then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread1 but of the doctrine of the ,pharisees and of the ,sadducees4 ,and he cometh to ,bethsaida2 and they bring a blind man unto him1 and besought him to touch him4 ,and he took the blind man by the hand1 and led him out of the town2 and when he had spit on his eyes1 and put his hands upon him1 he asked him if he saw aught4 ,and he looked up1 and said1 ,i see men as trees1 walking4 ,after that he put his hands again upon his eyes1 and made him look up3 and he was restored1 and saw every man clearly4 ,and he sent him away to his house1 saying1 ,neither go into the town1 nor tell it to any in the town4 ,,chapter ,,xxxi4 ,,jesus ,,foretells ,,his ,,death ,,and ,,resurrection4 ,and ,jesus went out1 and his disciples1 into the towns of ,cesarea ,philippi3 and it came to pass1 as he was alone praying1 his disciples were with him3 and by the way he asked his disciples1 saying unto them1 ,whom do men say that ,i the ,son of man am8 ,and they said1 ,some say that thou art ,john the ,baptist3 some1 ,elias2 and others1 ,jeremias1 or1 that one of the old prophets is risen again4 ,he said unto them1 ,but whom say ye that ,i am8 ,and ,simon ,peter answered and said unto him1 ,thou art the ,christ1 the ,son of the living ,god4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,blessed art thou1 ,simon ,bar-jona3 for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee1 but my ,father which is in heaven4 ,and ,i say also unto thee1 ,that thou art ,peter1 and upon this rock1 ,i will build my church2 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it4 ,and ,i will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven3 and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven3 and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven4 ,then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was ,jesus the ,christ4 ,from that time forth began ,jesus to shew unto his disciples1 how that he1 the ,son of man1 must go unto ,jerusalem1 and suffer many things and be rejected of the elders1 and of the chief priests1 and scribes and be killed1 and after three days rise again4 ,and he spake that saying openly4 ,then ,peter took him1 and began to rebuke him1 saying1 ,be it far from thee1 ,lord3 this shall not be unto thee4 ,but when he had turned about and looked on his disciples1 he rebuked ,peter saying1 ,get thee behind me1 ,satan3 thou art an offence unto me3 for thou savorest not the things that be of ,god1 but those that be of men4 ,and when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also1 he said to them all1 ,whosoever will come after me1 let him deny himself1 and take up his cross1 daily1 and follow me4 ,for whosoever will save his life shall lose it2 but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's1 the same shall save it4 ,for what shall it profit a man1 what is a man advantaged1 if he shall gain the whole world1 and lose his own soul8 or be cast away8 or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul8 ,for the ,son of man shall come in the glory of his ,father with his angels2 and then he shall reward every man according to his works4 ,whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation2 of him also shall the ,son of man be ashamed1 when he shall come in his own glory1 and in his ,father's1 and of the holy angels4 ,and he said unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that there be some of them that stand here1 which shall not taste of death1 till they have seen the kingdom of ,god come with power4 ,illustration3 ,mount ,tabor4 ,,chapter ,,xxxii4 ,,transfiguration--,,cures ,a ,,demoniac4 ,and after six days ,jesus taketh with him ,peter1 and ,james1 and ,john his brother1 and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves1 to pray4 ,and as he prayed1 the fashion of his countenance was altered1 and he was transfigured before them3 and his face did shine as the sun1 and his raiment was white as the light1 and glistering1 exceeding white as snow2 so as no fuller on earth can white them4 ,and1 behold1 there appeared unto them two men1 which were ,moses and ,elias3 who appeared in glory1 and they were talking with ,jesus1 and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at ,jerusalem4 ,but ,peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep3 and when they were awake1 they saw his glory1 and the two men that stood with him4 ,and it came to pass1 as they departed from him1 ,peter said unto ,jesus1 ,master1 it is good for us to be here4 ,if thou wilt1 let us make here three tabernacles2 one for thee1 and one for ,moses1 and one for ,elias4 ,for he wist not what to say2 for they were sore afraid4 ,while he yet spake1 behold1 a bright cloud overshadowed them3 and they feared as they entered into the cloud4 ,and there came a voice out of the cloud1 which said1 ,this is my beloved son1 in whom ,i am well pleased3 hear ye him4 ,and when the disciples heard it1 they fell on their face1 and were sore afraid4 ,and when the voice was past1 ,jesus came and touched them and said1 ,arise1 and be not afraid4 ,and suddenly1 when they had looked round about1 they saw no man any more1 save ,jesus only with themselves4 ,and they kept it close1 and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen4 ,and it came to pass1 that on the next day1 as they came down from the mountain1 ,jesus charged them1 that they should tell no man what things they had seen1 till the son of man were risen from the dead4 ,and they kept that saying with themselves1 questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean4 ,and his disciples asked him1 saying1 why then say the scribes that ,elias must first come8 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,elias truly shall first come1 and restore all things2 and how it is written of the ,son of man1 that he must suffer many things1 and be set at nought4 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,that ,elias is come already1 and they knew him not1 but have done unto him whatsoever they listed1 as it is written of him4 ,likewise shall also the ,son of man suffer of them4 ,then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of ,john the ,baptist4 ,when they were come down from the hill1 much people met him4 ,and when he came to his disciples1 he saw a great multitude about them1 and the scribes questioning with them4 ,and straightway all the people1 when they beheld him1 were greatly amazed1 and running to him saluted him4 ,and he asked the scribes1 ,what question ye with them8 ,and when they were come to the multitude1 there came to him a certain man1 kneeling down to him1 and saying1 ,master1 ,i have brought unto thee my son3 which hath a dumb spirit2 ,i beseech thee1 look upon my son3 for he is mine only child4 ,lord1 have mercy on my son2 for he is lunatic1 and sore vexed3 for ofttimes he falleth into the fire1 and oft into the water4 ,and1 lo1 a spirit taketh him1 and he suddenly crieth out2 and wheresoever he taketh him1 he teareth him3 and he foameth1 and gnasheth with his teeth1 and pineth away3 and bruising him hardly departeth from him4 ,and ,i brought him to thy disciples1 that they should cast him out2 and they could not cure him4 ,then ,jesus answered and said1 ,o faithless and perverse generation1 how long shall ,i be with you8 how long shall ,i suffer you8 ,bring thy son hither4 ,and they brought him unto him3 and when he saw him1 straightway the spirit tare him2 and he fell on the ground1 and wallowed foaming4 ,and he asked his father1 ,how long is it ago since this came unto him8 ,and he said1 ,of a child4 ,and ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire1 and into the waters1 to destroy him3 but if thou canst do anything1 have compassion on us1 and help us4 ,jesus said unto him1 ,if thou canst believe1 all things are possible to him that believeth4 ,and straightway the father of the child cried out1 and said with tears1 ,lord1 ,i believe2 help thou mine unbelief4 ,when ,jesus saw that the people came running together1 he rebuked the foul spirit1 saying unto him1 ,thou dumb and deaf spirit1 ,i charge thee1 come out of him1 and enter no more into him4 ,and the spirit cried1 and rent him sore1 and came out of him3 and he was as one dead2 insomuch that many said1 ,he is dead4 ,but ,jesus took him by the hand1 and lifted him up2 and he arose4 ,and the child was cured from that very hour4 ,and 7,jesus7 delivered him again to his father4 ,and when he was come into the house1 then came the disciples to ,jesus apart1 and asked him privately1 ,why could not we cast him out8 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,because of your unbelief3 for verily ,i say unto you1 ,if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed1 ye shall say unto this mountain1 ,remove hence to yonder place2 and it shall remove2 and nothing shall be impossible unto you4 ,howbeit this kind can come forth by nothing1 but by prayer and fasting4 ,,chapter ,,xxxiii4 ,,death ,,foretold ,,again--,,pays ,,tribute--,,caution ,,against ,,giving ,,offence4 ,after these things ,jesus departed thence1 and passed through ,galilee2 for he would not walk in ,jewry1 because the ,jews sought to kill him4 ,and he would not that any man should know it4 ,and they were all amazed at the mighty power of ,god4 ,but while they wondered every one at all things which ,jesus did1 he said unto his disciples1 ,let these sayings sink down into your ears3 for the ,son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men3 and they shall kill him2 and after that he is killed1 he shall rise the third day4 ,but they understood not that saying1 and it was hid from them1 that they perceived it not3 and they feared to ask him of that saying4 ,and they were exceeding sorry4 ,then there arose a reasoning among them1 which of them should be greatest4 ,and when they were come to ,capernaum1 they that received tribute money came to ,peter1 and said1 ,doth not your master pay tribute8 ,he saith1 ,yes4 ,and when he was come into the house1 ,jesus prevented him1 saying1 ,what thinkest thou1 ,simon8 of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute8 of their own children1 or of strangers8 ,peter saith unto him1 ,of strangers4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,then are the children free4 ,notwithstanding1 lest we should offend them1 go thou to the sea1 and cast an hook1 and take up the fish that first cometh up2 and when thou hast opened his mouth1 thou shalt find a piece of money2 that take1 and give unto them for me and thee4 ,and being in the house he asked them1 ,what was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way8 ,but they held their peace3 for by the way they had disputed among themselves1 who should be the greatest4 ,and ,jesus perceiving the thought of their heart1 sat down1 and called the twelve1 and saith unto them1 ,if any man desire to be first1 the same shall be last of all1 and servant of all4 ,and he took a child1 and set him in the midst of them3 and when he had taken him in his arms1 he said unto them1 ,whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name1 receiveth me3 and whosoever shall receive me1 receiveth not me1 but him that sent me1 for he that is least among you all1 the same shall be great4 ,and ,john answered and said1 ,master1 we saw one casting out devils in thy name1 and he followeth not us3 and we forbad him1 because he followeth not with us4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,forbid him not3 for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name1 that can lightly speak evil of me4 ,for he that is not against us is on our part4 ,for whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name1 because ye belong to ,christ1 verily ,i say unto you1 he shall not lose his reward4 ,and whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me1 it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck1 and he were cast into the sea4 ,and if thy hand offend thee1 cut it off2 it is better for thee to enter into life maimed1 than having two hands to go into hell1 into the fire that never shall be quenched3 where their worm dieth not1 and the fire is not quenched4 ,and if thy foot offend thee1 cut it off3 it is better for thee to enter halt into life1 than having two feet to be cast into hell1 into the fire that never shall be quenched3 where their worm dieth not1 and the fire is not quenched4 ,and if thine eye offend thee1 pluck it out3 it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of ,god with one eye1 than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire3 where their worm dieth not1 and the fire is not quenched4 ,for every one shall be salted with fire1 and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt4 ,salt is good3 but if the salt have lost his saltness1 wherewith will ye season it8 ,have salt in yourselves1 and have peace one with another4 ,,chapter ,,xxxiv4 ,,lessons ,,of ,,humility ,,and ,,forgiveness ,at the same time came the disciples unto ,jesus1 saying1 ,who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven8 ,and ,jesus called a little child unto him1 and set him in the midst of them1 and said1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,except ye be converted1 and become as little children1 ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven4 ,whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child1 the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven4 ,and whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me4 ,but whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me1 it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck1 and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea4 ,woe unto the world because of offences6 for it must needs be that offences come2 but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh6 ,wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee1 cut them off1 and cast them from thee3 it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed1 rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire4 ,and if thine eye offend thee1 pluck it out1 and cast it from thee3 it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye1 rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire4 ,take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones2 for ,i say unto you1 ,that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my ,father which is in heaven4 ,for the ,son of man is come to save that which was lost4 ,how think ye8 if a man have an hundred sheep1 and one of them be gone astray1 doth he not leave the ninety and nine1 and goeth into the mountains1 and seeketh that which is gone astray4 ,and if so be that he find it1 verily ,i say unto you1 he rejoiceth more of that sheep1 than of the ninety and nine which went not astray4 ,even so it is not the will of your ,father which is in heaven1 that one of these little ones should perish4 ,moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee1 go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone3 if he shall hear thee1 thou hast gained thy brother4 ,but if he will not hear thee1 then take with thee one or two more1 that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established4 ,and if he shall neglect to hear them1 tell it unto the church3 but if he neglect to hear the church1 let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven3 and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven4 ,again ,i say unto you1 ,that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask1 it shall be done for them of my ,father which is in heaven4 ,for where two or three are gathered together in my name1 there am ,i in the midst of them4 ,then came ,peter to him1 and said1 ,lord1 how oft shall my brother sin1 against me1 and ,i forgive him8 till seven times8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,i say not unto thee1 ,until seven times3 but1 ,until seventy times seven4 ,therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king1 which would take account of his servants4 ,and when he had begun to reckon1 one was brought unto him1 which owed him ten thousand talents4 ,but for as much as he had not to pay1 his lord commanded him to be sold1 and his wife and children1 and all that he had1 and payment to be made4 ,the servant therefore fell down1 and worshipped him1 saying1 ,lord1 have patience with me1 and ,i will pay thee all4 ,then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion1 and loosed him1 and forgave him the debt4 ,but the same servant went out1 and found one of his fellow servants1 which owed him an hundred pence3 and he laid hands on him1 and took him by the throat1 saying1 ,pay me that thou owest4 ,and his fellow servant fell down at his feet1 and besought him1 saying1 ,have patience with me1 and ,i will pay thee all4 ,and he would not3 but went and cast him into prison1 till he should pay the debt4 ,so when his fellow servants saw what was done1 they were very sorry1 and came and told unto their lord all that was done4 ,then his lord1 after that he had called him1 said unto him1 ,o thou wicked servant1 ,i forgave thee all that debt1 because thou desiredst me2 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant1 even as ,i had pity on thee8 ,and his lord was wroth1 and delivered him to the tormentors1 till he should pay all that was due unto him4 ,so likewise shall my heavenly ,father do also unto you1 if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses4 ,,chapter ,,xxxv4 ,,jesus ,,at ,,the ,,feast--,,return ,,of ,,the ,,officers ,,of ,,the ,,chief ,,priests ,now the ,jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand4 ,his brethren therefore said unto him1 ,depart hence1 and go into ,judea1 that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest4 ,for there is no man that doeth anything in secret1 and he himself seeketh to be known openly4 ,if thou do these things1 shew thyself to the world4 ,for neither did his brethren believe in him4 ,then ,jesus said unto them1 ,my time is not yet come3 but your time is always ready4 ,the world cannot hate you2 but me it hateth1 because ,i testify of it1 that the works thereof are evil4 ,go ye up unto this feast3 ,i go not up yet unto this feast2 for my time is not yet full come4 ,when he had said these words unto them1 he abode still in ,galilee4 ,but when his brethren were gone up1 then went he also up unto the feast1 not openly1 but as it were in secret4 ,then the ,jews sought him at the feast1 and said1 where is he8 ,and there was much murmuring among the people concerning him3 for some said1 ,he is a good man3 others said1 ,nay2 but he deceiveth the people4 ,howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the ,jews4 ,now about the midst of the feast ,jesus went up into the temple and taught4 ,and the ,jews marvelled1 saying1 ,how knoweth this man letters1 having never learned8 ,jesus answered them1 and said1 ,my doctrine is not mine1 but his that sent me4 ,if any man will do his will1 he shall know of the doctrine1 whether it be of ,god1 or whether ,i speak of myself4 ,he that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory3 but he that seeketh his glory that sent him1 the same is true1 and no unrighteousness is in him4 ,did not ,moses give you the law1 and yet none of you keepeth the law8 ,why go ye about to kill me8 ,the people answered and said1 ,thou hast a devil3 who goeth about to kill thee8 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,i have done one work1 and ye all marvel4 ,moses therefore gave unto you circumcision2 7not because it is of ,moses1 but of the fathers27 and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man4 ,if a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision1 that the law of ,moses should not be broken2 are ye angry at me1 because ,i have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day8 ,judge not according to the appearance1 but judge righteous judgment4 ,then said some of them of ,jerusalem1 ,is not this he1 whom they seek to kill8 ,but1 lo1 he speaketh boldly1 and they say nothing unto him4 ,do the rulers know indeed that this is the very ,christ8 ,howbeit we know this man whence he is1 but when ,christ cometh1 no man knoweth whence he is4 ,then cried ,jesus in the temple as he taught1 saying1 ,ye both know me1 and ye know whence ,i am3 and ,i am not come of myself1 but he that sent me is true1 whom ye know not4 ,but ,i know him3 for ,i am from him1 and he hath sent me4 ,then they sought to take him3 but no man laid hands on him1 because his hour was not yet come4 ,and many of the people believed on him1 and said1 ,when ,christ cometh1 will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done8 ,the ,pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him2 and the ,pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him4 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,yet a little while am ,i with you1 and then ,i go unto him that sent me4 ,ye shall seek me1 and shall not find me3 and where ,i am1 thither ye cannot come4 ,then said the ,jews among themselves1 ,whither will he go1 that we shall not find him8 will he go unto the dispersed among the ,gentiles1 and teach the ,gentiles8 ,what manner of saying is this that he said1 ,ye shall seek me1 and shall not find me3 and where ,i am1 thither ye cannot come8 ,in the last day that great day of the feast1 ,jesus stood and cried1 saying1 ,if any man thirst1 let him come unto me1 and drink4 ,he that believeth on me1 as the ,scripture hath said1 out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water4 7,but this spake he of the spirit1 which they that believe on him should receive3 for the ,holy ,ghost was not yet given2 because that ,jesus was not yet glorified47 ,many of the people therefore1 when they heard this saying1 said1 ,of a truth this is the ,prophet4 ,others said1 ,this is the ,christ4 ,but some said1 ,shall ,christ come out of ,galilee8 ,hath not the ,scripture said1 ,that ,christ cometh of the seed of ,david1 and out of the town of ,bethlehem1 where ,david was8 ,so there was a division among the people because of him4 ,and some of them would have taken him2 but no man laid hands on him4 ,then came the officers to the chief priests and ,pharisees2 and they said unto them1 ,why have ye not brought him8 ,the officers answered1 ,never man spake like this man4 ,then answered them the ,pharisees1 ,are ye also deceived8 ,have any of the rulers or of the ,pharisees believed on him8 ,but this people who knoweth not the law are cursed4 ,nicodemus saith unto them1 7he that came to ,jesus by night1 being one of them17 ,doth our law judge any man1 before it hear him1 and know what he doeth8 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,art thou also of ,galilee8 ,search1 and look3 for out of ,galilee ariseth no prophet4 ,and every man went unto his own house4 ,jesus went unto the mount of ,olives4 ,,chapter ,,xxxvi4 ,,the ,,convicted ,,accusers--,,jesus ,,the ,,light ,,of ,,the ,,world4 ,and early in the morning he came again into the temple1 and all the people came unto him2 and he sat down1 and taught them4 ,and the scribes and ,pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery2 and when they had set her in the midst1 they say unto him1 ,master1 this woman was taken in adultery1 in the very act4 ,now ,moses in the law commanded us1 that such should be stoned3 but what sayest thou8 ,this they said1 tempting him1 that they might have to accuse him4 ,but ,jesus stooped down1 and with his finger wrote on the ground1 as though he heard them not4 ,so when they continued asking him1 he lifted up himself1 and said unto them1 ,he that is without sin among you1 let him first cast a stone at her4 ,and again he stooped down and wrote on the ground4 ,and they which heard it1 being convicted by their own conscience1 went out one by one1 beginning at the eldest1 even unto the last3 and ,jesus was left alone1 and the woman standing in the midst4 ,when ,jesus had lifted up himself1 and saw none but the woman1 he said unto her1 ,woman1 where are those thine accusers8 hath no man condemned thee8 ,she said1 ,no man1 ,lord4 ,and ,jesus said unto her1 ,neither do ,i condemn thee3 go and sin no more4 ,then spake ,jesus again unto them1 saying1 ,i am the light of the world3 he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness1 but shall have the light of life4 ,the ,pharisees therefore said unto him1 ,thou bearest record of thyself2 thy record is not true4 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,though ,i bear record of myself1 yet my record is true3 for ,i know whence ,i came1 and whither ,i go2 but ye cannot tell whence ,i come1 and whither ,i go4 ,ye judge after the flesh2 ,i judge no man4 ,and yet if ,i judge1 my judgment is true3 for ,i am not alone1 but ,i and the ,father that sent me4 ,it is also written in your law1 that the testimony of two men is true4 ,i am one that bear witness of myself1 and the ,father that sent me1 beareth witness of me4 ,then said they unto him1 ,where is thy father8 ,jesus answered1 ,ye neither know me1 nor my ,father3 if ye had known me1 ye should have known my ,father also4 ,these words spake ,jesus in the treasury1 as he taught in the temple2 and no man laid hands on him2 for his hour was not yet come4 ,then said ,jesus again unto them1 ,i go my way1 and ye shall seek me1 and shall die in your sins3 whither ,i go1 ye cannot come4 ,then said the ,jews1 ,will he kill himself8 because he saith1 ,whither ,i go1 ye cannot come4 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye are from beneath3 ,i am from above3 ye are of this world2 ,i am not of this world4 ,i said therefore unto you1 that ye shall die in your sins3 for if ye believe not that ,i am he1 ye shall die in your sins4 ,then they said unto him1 ,who art thou8 ,and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,even the same that ,i said unto you from the beginning4 ,i have many things to say and to judge of you3 but he that sent me is true2 and ,i speak to the world those things which ,i have heard of him4 ,they understood not that he spake to them of the ,father4 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,when ye have lifted up the ,son of man1 then shall ye know that ,i am he1 and that ,i do nothing of myself2 but as my ,father hath taught me1 ,i speak these things4 ,and he that sent me is with me3 the ,father hath not left me alone2 for ,i do always those things that please him4 ,as he spake these words1 many believed on him4 ,then said ,jesus to those ,jews which believed on him1 ,if ye continue in my word1 then are ye my disciples indeed2 and ye shall know the truth1 and the truth shall make you free4 ,they answered him1 ,we be ,abraham's seed1 and were never in bondage to any man3 how sayest thou1 ,ye shall be made free8 ,jesus answered them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin4 ,and the servant abideth not in the house for ever3 but the ,son abideth ever4 ,if the ,son therefore shall make you free1 ye shall be free indeed4 ,i know that ye are ,abraham's seed2 but ye seek to kill me1 because my word hath no place in you4 ,i speak that which ,i have seen with my ,father3 and ye do that which ye have seen with your father4 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,abraham is our father4 ,jesus said unto them1 ,if ye were ,abraham's children1 ye would do the works of ,abraham4 ,but now ye seek to kill me1 a man that hath told you the truth1 which ,i have heard of ,god3 this did not ,abraham4 ,ye do the deeds of your ,father4 ,then said they to him1 ,we be not born of fornication2 we have one ,father1 even ,god4 ,jesus said unto them1 ,if ,god were your ,father1 ye would love me3 for ,i proceeded forth and came from ,god2 neither came ,i of myself1 but he sent me4 ,why do ye not understand my speech8 even because ye cannot hear my word4 ,ye are of your father the devil1 and the lusts of your father ye will do4 ,he was a murderer from the beginning1 and abode not in the truth1 because there is no truth in him4 ,when he speaketh a lie1 he speaketh of his own3 for he is a liar1 and the father of it4 ,and because ,i tell you the truth1 ye believe me not4 ,which of you convinceth me of sin8 ,and if ,i say the truth1 why do ye not believe me8 ,he that is of ,god heareth ,god's words3 ye therefore hear them not1 because ye are not of ,god4 ,then answered the ,jews1 and said unto him1 ,say we not well that thou art a ,samaritan1 and hast a devil8 ,jesus answered1 ,i have not a devil2 but ,i honor my ,father1 and ye do dishonor me4 ,and ,i seek not mine own glory3 there is one that seeketh and judgeth4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,if a man keep my saying1 he shall never see death4 ,then said the ,jews unto him1 ,now we know that thou hast a devil4 ,abraham is dead1 and the prophets1 and thou sayest1 ,if a man keep my saying1 he shall never taste of death4 ,art thou greater than our father ,abraham1 which is dead8 and the prophets are dead3 whom makest thou thyself8 ,jesus answered1 ,if ,i honor myself1 my honor is nothing3 it is my ,father that honoreth me2 of whom ye say1 that he is your ,god3 ,yet ye have not known him3 but ,i know him3 and if ,i should say1 ,i know him not1 ,i shall be a liar like unto you2 but ,i know him1 and keep his saying4 ,your father ,abraham rejoiced to see my day2 and he saw it1 and was glad4 ,then said the ,jews unto him1 ,thou art not yet fifty years old1 and hast thou seen ,abraham8 ,jesus said unto them1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,before ,abraham was1 ,i am4 ,then took they up stones to cast at him3 but ,jesus hid himself1 and went out of the temple1 going through the midst of them1 and so passed by4 ,,chapter ,,xxxvii4 ,a ,,man ,,born ,,blind1 ,,healed1 ,,examined ,,and ,,excommunicated4 ,and as ,jesus passed by1 he saw a man which was blind from his birth4 ,and his disciples asked him1 saying1 ,master1 who did sin1 this man1 or his parents1 that he was born blind8 ,jesus answered1 ,neither hath this man sinned1 nor his parents3 but that the works of ,god should be made manifest in him4 ,i must work the works of him that sent me1 while it is day3 the night cometh1 when no man can work4 ,as long as ,i am in the world1 ,i am the light of the world4 ,when he had thus spoken1 he spat on the ground1 and made clay of the spittle1 and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay1 and said to him1 ,go1 wash in the pool of ,siloam1 7which is by interpretation1 ,sent47 ,he went his way therefore1 and washed1 and came seeing4 ,the neighbors therefore1 and they which before had seen him that he was blind1 said1 ,is not this he that sat and begged8 ,some said1 ,this is he3 others said1 ,he is like him3 but he said ,i am he4 ,therefore said they unto him1 ,how were thine eyes opened8 ,he answered and said1 ,a man that is called ,jesus made clay1 and anointed mine eyes1 and said unto me1 go to the pool of ,siloam1 and wash3 and ,i went and washed1 and ,i received sight4 ,then said they unto him1 ,where is he8 ,he said1 ,i know not4 ,they brought to the ,pharisees him that aforetime was blind4 ,and it was the sabbath day when ,jesus made the clay1 and opened his eyes4 ,then again the ,pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight4 ,he said unto them1 ,he put clay upon mine eyes1 and ,i washed1 and do see4 ,therefore said some of the ,pharisees1 ,this man is not of ,god1 because he keepeth not the sabbath day4 ,others said1 ,how can a man that is a sinner do such miracles8 ,and there was a division among them4 ,they say unto the blind man again1 ,what sayest thou of him1 that he hath opened thine eyes8 ,he said1 ,he is a prophet4 ,but the ,jews did not believe concerning him1 that he had been blind1 and received his sight1 until they called the parents of him that had received his sight4 ,and they asked them1 saying1 ,is this your son1 who ye say was born blind8 how then doth he now see8 ,his parents answered them and said1 ,we know that this is our son1 and that he was born blind3 but by what means he now seeth1 we know not2 or who hath opened his eyes1 we know not3 he is of age2 ask him3 he shall speak for himself4 ,these words spake his parents1 because they feared the ,jews3 for the ,jews had agreed already1 that if any man did confess1 that he was ,christ1 he should be put out of the synagogue4 ,therefore said his parents1 ,he is of age3 ask him4 ,then again called they the man that was blind1 and said unto him1 ,give ,god the praise3 we know that this man is a sinner4 ,he answered and said1 ,whether he be a sinner or no1 ,i know not3 one thing ,i know1 that1 whereas ,i was blind1 now ,i see4 ,then said they to him again1 ,what did he to thee8 how opened he thine eyes8 ,he answered them1 ,i have told you already1 and ye did not hear3 wherefore would ye hear it again8 will ye also be his disciples8 ,then they reviled him1 and said1 ,thou art his disciple2 but we are ,moses' disciples4 ,we know that ,god spake unto ,moses3 as for this fellow1 we know not from whence he is4 ,the man answered and said unto them1 ,why herein is a marvellous thing1 that ye know not from whence he is1 and yet he hath opened mine eyes4 ,now we know that ,god heareth not sinners3 but if any man be a worshipper of ,god1 and doeth his will1 him he heareth4 ,since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind4 ,if this man were not of ,god1 he could do nothing4 ,they answered and said unto him1 ,thou wast altogether born in sins1 and dost thou teach us8 ,and they cast him out4 ,jesus heard that they had cast him out2 and when he had found him1 he said unto him1 ,dost thou believe on the ,son of ,god8 ,he answered and said1 ,who is he1 ,lord1 that ,i might believe on him8 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,thou hast both seen him1 and it is he that talketh with thee4 ,and he said1 ,lord1 ,i believe1 ,and he worshipped him4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,for judgment ,i am come into this world1 that they which see not1 might see2 and that they which see1 might be made blind4 ,and some of the ,pharisees which were with him heard these words1 and said unto him1 ,are we blind also8 ,jesus said unto them1 ,if ye were blind1 ye should have no sin3 but now ye say1 ,we see2 therefore your sin remaineth4 ,,chapter ,,xxxviii4 ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,good ,,shepherd4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold1 but climbeth up some other way1 the same is a thief and a robber4 ,but he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep4 ,to him the porter openeth2 and the sheep hear his voice3 and he calleth his own sheep by name1 and leadeth them out4 ,and when he putteth forth his own sheep1 he goeth before them1 and the sheep follow him3 for they know his voice4 ,and a stranger will they not follow1 but will flee from him3 for they know not the voice of strangers4 ,this parable spake ,jesus unto them3 but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them4 ,then said ,jesus unto them again1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,i am the door of the sheep4 ,all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers3 but the sheep did not hear them4 ,i am the door3 by me if any man enter in1 he shall be saved1 and shall go in and out1 and find pasture4 ,the thief cometh not1 but for to steal1 and to kill1 and to destroy3 ,i am come that they might have life1 and that they might have it more abundantly4 ,i am the good shepherd3 the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep4 ,but he that is an hireling1 and not the shepherd1 whose own the sheep are not1 seeth the wolf coming1 and leaveth the sheep1 and fleeth3 and the wolf catches them1 and scattereth the sheep4 ,the hireling fleeth1 because he is an hireling1 and careth not for the sheep4 ,i am the good shepherd1 and know my sheep1 and am known of mine4 ,as the ,father knoweth me1 even so know ,i the ,father3 and ,i lay down my life for the sheep4 ,and other sheep ,i have1 which are not of this fold3 them also ,i must bring1 and they shall hear my voice2 and there shall be one fold1 and one shepherd4 ,therefore doth my ,father love me1 because ,i lay down my life1 that ,i may take it again4 ,no man taketh it from me1 but ,i lay it down of myself1 ,i have power to lay it down1 and ,i have power to take it again4 ,this commandment have ,i received of my ,father4 ,there was a division therefore again among the ,jews for these sayings4 ,and many of them said1 ,he hath a devil1 and is mad2 why hear ye him8 ,others said1 these are not the words of him that hath a devil4 ,can a devil open the eyes of the blind8 ,and it was at ,jerusalem the feast of the dedication1 and it was winter4 ,and ,jesus walked in the temple in ,solomon's porch4 ,then came the ,jews round about him1 and said unto him1 ,how long dost thou make us to doubt8 ,if thou be the ,christ1 tell us plainly4 ,jesus answered them1 ,i told you1 and ye believed not3 the works that ,i do in my ,father's name1 they bear witness of me4 ,but ye believe not1 because ye are not of my sheep1 as ,i said unto you4 ,my sheep hear my voice1 and ,i know them1 and they follow me3 ,and ,i give unto them eternal life2 and they shall never perish1 neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand4 ,my ,father1 which gave them me1 is greater than all2 and no man is able to pluck them out of my ,father's hand4 ,i and my ,father are one4 ,then the ,jews took up stones again to stone him4 ,jesus answered them1 ,many good works have ,i shewed you from my ,father2 for which of those works do ye stone me8 ,the ,jews answered him1 saying1 ,for a good work we stone thee not2 but for blasphemy2 and because that thou1 being a man1 makest thyself ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,is it not written in your law1 ,i said1 ,ye are gods8 ,if he called them gods1 unto whom the word of ,god came1 and the ,scripture cannot be broken2 ,say ye of him1 whom the ,father hath sanctified1 and sent into the world1 ,thou blasphemest2 because ,i said ,i am the ,son of ,god8 ,if ,i do not the works of my ,father1 believe me not4 ,but if ,i do1 though ye believe not me1 believe the works3 that ye may know1 and believe1 that the ,father is in me1 and ,i in him4 ,therefore they sought again to take him3 but he escaped out of their hand1 and went away again beyond ,jordan into the place were ,john at first baptized2 and there he abode4 ,and many resorted unto him1 and said1 ,john did no miracle3 but all things that ,john spake of this man were true4 ,and many believed on him there4 ,,chapter ,,xxxix4 ,,jesus ,,raises ,,lazarus--,,jews ,,seek ,,his ,,life4 ,now a certain man was sick1 named ,lazarus1 of ,bethany1 the town of ,mary and her sister ,martha4 7,it was that ,mary which anointed the ,lord with ointment1 and wiped his feet with her hair1 whose brother ,lazarus was sick47 ,therefore his sisters sent unto him1 saying1 ,lord1 behold1 he whom thou lovest is sick4 ,when ,jesus heard that1 he said1 ,this sickness is not unto death1 but for the glory of ,god1 that the ,son of ,god might be glorified thereby4 ,now ,jesus loved ,martha1 and her sister1 and ,lazarus4 ,when he had heard therefore that he was sick1 he abode two days still in the same place where he was4 ,then after that saith he to his disciples1 ,let us go into ,judea again4 ,his disciples say unto him1 ,master1 the ,jews of late sought to stone thee2 and goest thou thither again8 ,jesus answered1 ,are there not twelve hours in the day8 ,if any man walk in the day1 he stumbleth not1 because he seeth the light of this world4 ,but if a man walk in the night1 he stumbleth1 because there is no light in him4 ,these things said he3 and after that he saith unto them1 ,our friend ,lazarus sleepeth2 but ,i go1 that ,i may awake him out of sleep4 ,then said his disciples1 ,lord1 if he sleep1 he shall do well4 ,howbeit ,jesus spake of his death2 but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep4 ,then said ,jesus unto them plainly1 ,lazarus is dead4 ,and ,i am glad for your sakes that ,i was not there1 to the intent ye may believe2 nevertheless let us go unto him4 ,then said ,thomas1 which is called ,didymus1 unto his fellow disciples1 ,let us also go1 that we may die with him4 ,then when ,jesus came1 he found that he had lain in the grave four days already4 ,now ,bethany was nigh unto ,jerusalem1 about fifteen furlongs off3 and many of the ,jews came to ,martha and ,mary1 to comfort them concerning their brother4 ,then ,martha1 as soon as she heard that ,jesus was coming1 went and met him2 but ,mary sat still in the house4 ,then said ,martha unto ,jesus1 ,lord if thou hadst been here1 my brother had not died4 ,but ,i know1 that even now1 whatsoever thou wilt ask of ,god1 ,god will give it thee4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,thy brother shall rise again4 ,martha saith unto him1 ,i know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,i am the resurrection1 and the life2 he that believeth in me1 though he were dead1 yet shall he live3 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die4 ,believest thou this8 ,she saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord3 ,i believe that thou art the ,christ1 the son of ,god1 which should come into the world4 ,and when she had so said1 she went her way1 and called ,mary her sister1 secretly1 saying1 ,the ,master is come1 and calleth for thee4 ,as soon as she heard that1 she arose quickly1 and came unto him4 ,now ,jesus was not yet come into the town1 but was in that place where ,martha met him4 ,the ,jews then which were with her in the house1 and comforted her1 when they saw ,mary1 that she rose up hastily and went out1 followed her1 saying1 ,she goeth unto the grave to weep there4 ,then when ,mary was come where ,jesus was1 and saw him1 she fell down at his feet1 saying unto him1 ,lord1 if thou hadst been here1 my brother had not died4 ,when ,jesus therefore saw her weeping1 and the ,jews also weeping which came with her1 he groaned in the spirit1 and was troubled1 and said1 ,where have ye laid him8 ,they said unto him1 ,lord1 come and see4 ,jesus wept4 ,then said the ,jews1 ,behold1 how he loved him6 ,and some of them said1 ,could not this man1 which opened the eyes of the blind1 have caused that even this man should not have died8 ,jesus therefore again groaning in himself1 cometh to the grave4 ,it was a cave1 and a stone lay upon it4 ,jesus said1 ,take ye away the stone4 ,martha1 the sister of him that was dead1 saith unto him1 ,lord1 by this time he stinketh3 for he hath been dead four days4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,said ,i not unto thee1 that if thou wouldest believe1 thou shouldest see the glory of ,god8 ,then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid3 ,and ,jesus lifted up his eyes1 and said1 ,father1 ,i thank thee that thou hast heard me4 ,and ,i knew that thou hearest me always3 but because of the people which stand by ,i said it1 that they may believe that thou hast sent me4 ,and when he thus had spoken1 he cried with a loud voice1 ,lazarus1 come forth4 ,and he that was dead came forth1 bound hand and foot with grave-clothes3 and his face was bound about with a napkin4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,loose him1 and let him go4 ,then many of the ,jews which came to ,mary1 and had seen the things which ,jesus did1 believed on him4 ,but some of them went their ways to the ,pharisees1 and told them what things ,jesus had done4 ,then gathered the chief priests and the ,pharisees a council1 and said1 ,what do we8 for this man doeth many miracles4 ,if we let him thus alone1 all men will believe on him3 and the ,romans shall come and take away both our place and nation4 ,and one of them1 named ,caiaphas1 being the high priest that same year1 said unto them1 ,ye know nothing at all1 nor consider that it is expedient for us1 that one man should die for the people1 and that the whole nation perish not4 ,and this spake he not of himself3 but being high priest that year1 he prophesied that ,jesus should die for that nation2 and not for that nation only1 but that also he should gather together in one the children of ,god that were scattered abroad4 ,then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death4 ,jesus therefore walked no more openly among the ,jews2 but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness1 into a city called ,ephraim1 and there continued with his disciples4 ,and it came to pass1 when the time was come that he should be received up1 he steadfastly set his face to go to ,jerusalem1 and sent messengers before his face3 and they went1 and entered into a village of the ,samaritans1 to make ready for him4 ,and they did not receive him1 because his face was as though he would go to ,jerusalem4 ,and when his disciples ,james and ,john saw this1 they said1 ,lord1 wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven1 and consume them1 even as ,elias did8 ,but he turned1 and rebuked them1 and said1 ,ye know not what manner of spirits ye are of4 ,for the ,son of man is not come to destroy men's lives1 but to save them4 ,and they went to another village4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 as they went in the way1 a certain man said unto him1 ,lord ,i will follow thee withersoever thou goest4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,foxes have holes1 and birds of the air have nests2 but the ,son of man hath not where to lay his head4 ,and he said unto another1 ,follow me4 ,but he said1 ,lord1 suffer me first to go and bury my father4 ,jesus said unto him1 ,let the dead bury their dead3 but go thou and preach the kingdom of ,god4 ,and another also said1 ,lord1 ,i will follow thee2 but let me first go bid them farewell1 which are at home at my house4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,no man1 having put his hand to the plough1 and looking back1 is fit for the kingdom of ,god4 ,,chapter ,,xl4 ,,seventy ,,disciples ,,sent ,,out4 ,after these things the ,lord appointed other seventy also1 and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place1 whither he himself would come4 ,therefore said he unto them1 ,the harvest truly is great1 but the laborers are few3 pray ye therefore the ,lord of the harvest1 that he would send forth laborers into his harvest4 ,go your ways3 behold1 ,i send you forth as lambs among wolves4 ,carry neither purse nor scrip1 nor shoes3 and salute no man by the way4 ,and into whatsoever house ye enter1 first say1 ,peace be to this house4 ,and if the son of peace be there1 your peace shall rest upon it3 if not1 it shall turn to you again4 ,and in the same house remain1 eating and drinking such things as they give3 for the laborer is worthy of his hire4 ,go not from house to house4 ,and into whatsoever city ye enter1 and they receive you1 eat such things as are set before you3 and heal the sick that are therein1 and say unto them1 ,the kingdom of ,god is come nigh unto you4 ,but into whatsoever city ye enter1 and they receive you not1 go your ways out into the streets of the same1 and say1 ,even the very dust of your city1 which cleaveth on us1 we do wipe off against you3 notwithstanding be ye sure of this1 that the kingdom of ,god is come nigh unto you4 ,but ,i say unto you1 that it shall be more tolerable in that day for ,sodom1 than for that city4 ,woe unto thee1 ,chorazin6 woe unto thee1 ,bethsaida6 for if the mighty works had been done in ,tyre and ,sidon1 which have been done in you1 they had a great while ago repented1 sitting in sackcloth and ashes4 ,but it shall be more tolerable for ,tyre and ,sidon at the judgment1 than for you4 ,and thou1 ,capernaum1 which art exalted to heaven1 shalt be thrust down to hell4 ,he that heareth you heareth me2 and he that despiseth you despiseth me2 and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me4 ,and the seventy returned again with joy1 saying1 ,lord1 even the devils are subject unto us through thy name4 ,and he said unto them1 ,i beheld ,satan as lightning fall from heaven4 ,behold1 ,i give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions1 and over all the power of the enemy3 and nothing shall by any means hurt you4 ,notwithstanding in this rejoice not1 that the spirits are subject unto you2 but rather rejoice1 because your names are written in heaven4 ,in that hour ,jesus rejoiced in spirit1 and said1 ,i thank thee1 ,o ,father1 ,lord of heaven and earth1 that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent1 and hast revealed them unto babes3 even so1 ,father3 for so it seemed good in thy sight4 ,all things are delivered to me of my ,father3 and no man knoweth who the ,son is1 but the ,father2 and who the ,father is1 but the ,son1 and he to whom the ,son will reveal him4 ,and he turned him unto his disciples1 and said privately1 ,blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see3 for ,i tell you1 that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see1 and have not seen them2 and to hear those things which ye hear1 and have not heard them4 ,and behold1 a certain lawyer stood up1 and tempted him1 saying1 ,master1 what shall ,i do to inherit eternal life8 ,he said unto him1 ,what is written in the law8 how readest thou8 ,and he answering1 said1 ,thou shalt love the ,lord thy ,god with all thy heart1 and with all thy soul1 and with all thy strength1 and with all thy mind2 and thy neighbor as thyself4 ,and he said unto him1 ,thou hast answered right3 this do1 and thou shalt live4 ,but he1 willing to justify himself1 said unto ,jesus1 ,and who is my neighbor8 ,and ,jesus answering1 said1 ,a certain man went down from ,jerusalem to ,jericho1 and fell among thieves1 which stripped him of his raiment1 and wounded him1 and departed1 leaving him half dead4 ,and by chance there came down a certain priest that way3 and when he saw him1 he passed by on the other side4 ,and likewise a ,levite1 when he was at the place1 came and looked on him1 and passed by on the other side4 ,but a certain ,samaritan1 as he journeyed1 came where he was3 and when he saw him1 he had compassion on him1 and went to him1 and bound up his wounds1 pouring in oil and wine1 and set him on his own beast1 and brought him to an inn1 and took care of him4 ,and on the morrow when he departed1 he took out two pence1 and gave them to the host1 and said unto him1 ,take care of him2 and whatsoever thou spendest more1 when ,i come again1 ,i will repay thee4 ,which now of these three1 thinkest thou1 was neighbor unto him that fell among thieves8 ,and he said1 ,he that shewed mercy on him4 ,then said ,jesus unto him1 ,go1 and do thou likewise4 ,,chapter ,,xli4 ,,martha',s ,,entertainment--,,form ,,of ,,prayer--,,dumb ,,devil4 ,now it came to pass1 as they went1 that he entered into a certain village3 and a certain woman named ,martha received him into her house4 ,and she had a sister called ,mary1 which also sat at ,jesus' feet1 and heard his word4 ,but ,martha was cumbered about much serving1 and came to him1 and said1 ,lord1 dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone8 bid her therefore that she help me4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto her1 ,martha1 ,martha1 thou art careful and troubled about many things3 but one thing is needful3 and ,mary hath chosen that good part1 which shall not be taken away from her4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 as he was praying in a certain place1 when he ceased1 one of his disciples said unto him1 ,lord1 teach us to pray1 as ,john also taught his disciples4 ,and he said unto them1 ,when ye pray1 say1 ,our ,father which art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy name4 ,thy kingdom come4 ,thy will be done1 as in heaven1 so in earth4 ,give us day by day our daily bread4 ,and forgive us our sins2 for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us4 ,and lead us not into temptation2 but deliver us from evil4 ,and he said unto them1 ,which of you shall have a friend1 and shall go unto him at midnight1 and say unto him1 ,friend1 lend me three loaves2 for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me1 and ,i have nothing to set before him8 ,and he from within shall answer and say1 ,trouble me not3 the door is now shut1 and my children are with me in bed2 ,i cannot rise and give thee4 ,i say unto you1 ,though he will not rise and give him1 because he is his friend1 yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,ask1 and it shall be given you2 seek1 and ye shall find1 knock1 and it shall be opened unto you4 ,for every one that asketh receiveth2 and he that seeketh findeth2 and to him that knocketh it shall be opened4 ,if a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father1 will he give him a stone8 or if he ask a fish1 will he for a fish give him a serpent8 ,or if he shall ask an egg1 will he offer him a scorpion8 ,if ye then1 being evil1 know how to give good gifts unto your children2 how much more shall your heavenly ,father give the ,holy ,spirit to them that ask him8 ,and he was casting out a devil1 and it was dumb4 ,and it came to pass1 when the devil was gone out1 the dumb spake2 and the people wondered4 ,but some of them said1 ,he casteth out devils through ,beelzebub the chief of the devils4 ,and others1 tempting him1 sought of him a sign from heaven4 ,but he1 knowing their thoughts1 said unto them1 ,every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation2 and a house divided against a house falleth4 ,if ,satan also be divided against himself1 how shall his kingdom stand8 because ye say that ,i cast out devils through ,beelzebub4 ,and if ,i by ,beelzebub cast out devils1 by whom do your sons cast them out8 ,therefore shall they be your judges4 ,but if ,i with the finger of ,god cast out devils1 no doubt the kingdom of ,god is come upon you4 ,when a strong man armed keepeth his palace1 his goods are in peace4 ,but when a stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him1 he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted1 and divideth his spoils4 ,he that is not with me is against me3 and he that gathereth not with me scattereth4 ,when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man1 he walketh through dry places1 seeking rest2 and finding none1 he saith1 ,i will return unto my house whence ,i came out4 ,and when he cometh1 he findeth it swept and garnished4 ,then goeth he1 and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself2 and they enter in1 and dwell there3 and the last state of that man is worse than the first4 ,and it came to pass1 as he spake these things1 a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice1 and said unto him1 ,blessed is the womb that bare thee1 and the paps which thou hast sucked4 ,but he said1 ,yea rather1 blessed are they that hear the word of ,god1 and keep it4 ,,chapter ,,xlii4 ,,evil ,,generation ,,seek ,a ,,sign--,,practical ,,lessons4 ,and when the people were gathered thick together1 he began to say1 ,this is an evil generation3 they seek a sign2 and there shall no sign be given it1 but the sign of ,jonas the prophet4 ,for as ,jonas was a sign unto the ,ninevites1 so shall also the ,son of man be to this generation4 ,the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation1 and condemn them2 for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of ,solomon2 and1 behold1 a greater than ,solomon is here4 ,the men of ,nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation1 and shall condemn it3 for they repented at the preaching of ,jonas2 and1 behold1 a greater than ,jonas is here4 ,no man1 when he hath lighted a candle1 putteth it in a secret place1 neither under a bushel1 but on a candlestick1 that they which come in may see the light4 ,the light of the body is the eye3 therefore when thine eye is single1 thy whole body also is full of light2 but when thine eye is evil1 thy body also is full of darkness4 ,take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness4 ,if thy whole body therefore be full of light1 having no part dark1 the whole shall be full of light1 as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light4 ,and as he spake1 a certain ,pharisee besought him to dine with him3 and he went in1 and sat down to meat4 ,and when the ,pharisee saw it1 he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner4 ,and the ,lord said unto him1 ,now do ye ,pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter2 but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness4 ,ye fools1 did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also8 ,but rather give alms of such things as ye have2 and1 behold1 all things are clean unto you4 ,but woe unto you1 ,pharisees6 for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs1 and pass over judgment and the love of ,god3 these ought ye to have done1 and not to leave the other undone4 ,woe unto you1 ,pharisees6 for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues1 and greetings in the markets4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye are as graves which appear not1 and the men that walk over them are not aware of them4 ,then answered one of the lawyers1 and said unto him1 ,master1 thus saying thou reproachest us also4 ,and he said1 ,woe unto you also ye lawyers6 for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne1 and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers4 ,woe unto you6 for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets1 and your fathers killed them4 ,truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers3 for they indeed killed them1 and ye build their sepulchres4 ,therefore also said the ,wisdom of ,god ,i will send them prophets and apostles1 and some of them they shall slay and persecute3 that the blood of all the prophets1 which was shed from the foundation of the world1 may be required of this generation2 from the blood of ,abel unto the blood of ,zacharias1 which perished between the altar and the temple3 verily ,i say unto you1 ,it shall be required of this generation4 ,woe unto you1 lawyers6 for ye have taken away the key of knowledge3 ye entered not in yourselves1 and them that were entering in ye hindered4 ,and as he said these things unto them1 the scribes and the ,pharisees began to urge him vehemently1 and to provoke him to speak of many things3 ,laying wait for him1 and seeking to catch something out of his mouth1 that they might accuse him4 ,,chapter ,,xliii4 ,,discourses ,,on ,,various ,,topics--,,ministerial ,,diligence4 ,in the mean time1 when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people1 insomuch that they trode one upon another1 he began to say unto his disciples first of all1 ,beware ye of the leaven of the ,pharisees1 which is hypocrisy4 ,for there is nothing covered1 that shall not be revealed3 neither hid1 that shall not be known4 ,therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light2 and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops4 ,and ,i say unto you my friends1 ,be not afraid of them that kill the body1 and after that have no more that they can do4 ,but ,i will forewarn you whom ye shall fear3 ,fear him1 which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell2 yea1 ,i say unto you1 ,fear him4 ,are not five sparrows sold for two farthings1 and not one of them is forgotten before ,god8 ,but even the very hairs of your head are all numbered4 ,fear not therefore2 ye are of more value than many sparrows4 ,also ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall confess me before men1 him shall the ,son of man also confess before the angels of ,god3 but he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of ,god4 ,and whosoever shall speak a word against the ,son of man1 it shall be forgiven him3 but unto him that blasphemeth against the ,holy ,ghost it shall not be forgiven4 ,and when they bring you unto the synagogues1 and unto magistrates1 and powers1 take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer1 or what ye shall say3 for the ,holy ,ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say4 ,and one of the company said unto him1 ,master1 speak to my brother1 that he divide the inheritance with me4 ,and he said unto him1 ,man1 who made me a judge or a divider over you8 ,and he said unto them1 ,take heed1 and beware of covetousness3 for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth4 ,and he spake a parable unto them1 saying1 ,the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully3 and he thought within himself1 saying1 ,what shall ,i do1 because ,i have no room where to bestow my fruits4 ,and he said1 ,this will ,i do2 ,i will pull down my barns1 and build greater2 and there will ,i bestow all my fruits and my goods4 ,and ,i will say to my soul1 ,soul1 thou hast much goods laid up for many years2 take thine ease1 eat1 drink1 and be merry4 ,but ,god said unto him1 ,thou fool1 this night thy soul shall be required of thee3 then whose shall those things be1 which thou hast provided8 ,so is he that layeth up treasure for himself1 and is not rich towards ,god4 ,and he said unto his disciples1 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,take no thought for your life1 what ye shall eat1 neither for the body1 what ye shall put on4 ,the life is more than meat1 and the body is more than raiment4 ,consider the ravens3 for they neither sow nor reap2 which neither have storehouse nor barn2 and ,god feedeth them3 how much more are ye better than the fowls8 ,and which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit8 ,if ye then be not able to do that thing which is least1 why take ye thought for the rest8 ,consider the lilies how they grow3 they toil not1 they spin not2 and yet ,i say unto you1 that ,solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these4 ,if then ,god so clothe the grass1 which is to day in the field1 and to morrow is cast into the oven2 how much more will he clothe you1 ,o ye of little faith8 ,and seek not ye what ye shall eat1 or what ye shall drink1 neither be ye of doubtful mind4 ,for all these things do the nations of the world seek after2 and your ,father knoweth that ye have need of these things4 ,but rather seek ye the kingdom of ,god2 and all these things shall be added unto you4 ,fear not1 little flock2 for it is your ,father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom4 ,sell that ye have1 and give alms2 provide yourselves bags which wax not old1 a treasure in the heavens that faileth not1 where no thief approacheth1 neither moth corrupteth4 ,for where your treasure is1 there will your heart be also4 ,let your loins be girded about1 and your lights burning2 and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord1 when he will return from the wedding2 that when he cometh and knocketh1 they may open unto him immediately4 ,blessed are those servants1 whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching3 verily ,i say unto you1 that he shall gird himself1 and make them to sit down to meat1 and will come forth and serve them4 ,and if he shall come in the second watch1 or come in the third watch1 and find them so1 blessed are those servants4 ,and this know1 that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come1 he would have watched1 and not have suffered his house to be broken through4 ,be ye therefore ready also2 for the ,son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not4 ,then ,peter said unto him1 ,lord1 speakest thou this parable unto us1 or even to all8 and the ,lord said1 ,who then is that faithful and wise steward1 whom his lord shall make ruler over his household1 to give them their portion of meat in due season8 ,blessed is that servant1 whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing4 ,of a truth ,i say unto you1 that he will make him ruler over all that he hath4 ,but and if that servant say in his heart1 ,my lord delayeth his coming2 and shall begin to beat the men servants and maidens1 and to eat and drink1 and to be drunken2 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him1 and at an hour when he is not aware1 and will cut him in sunder1 and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers4 ,and that servant which knew his lord's will1 and prepared not himself1 neither did according to his will1 shall be beaten with many stripes4 ,but he that knew not1 and did commit things worthy of stripes1 shall be beaten with few stripes4 ,for unto whomsoever much is given1 of him shall be much required3 and to whom men have committed much1 of him they will ask the more4 ,i am come to send fire on the earth2 and what will ,i1 if it be already kindled8 ,but ,i have a baptism to be baptized with3 and how am ,i straitened till it be accomplished6 ,suppose ye that ,i am come to give peace on earth8 ,i tell you1 ,nay2 but rather division3 for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided1 three against two1 and two against three4 ,the father shall be divided against the son1 and the son against the father2 the mother against the daughter1 and the daughter against the mother2 the mother in law against the daughter in law1 and the daughter in law against her mother in law4 ,and he said also to the people1 ,when ye see a cloud rise out of the west1 straightway ye say1 ,there cometh a shower2 and so it is4 ,and when ye see the south wind blow1 ye say1 ,there will be heat2 and it cometh to pass4 ,ye hypocrites1 ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth3 but how is it that ye do not discern this time8 ,yea1 and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right8 ,when thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate1 as thou art in the way1 give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him2 lest he hale thee to the judge1 and the judge deliver thee to the officer1 and the officer cast thee into prison4 ,i tell thee1 thou shalt not depart thence1 till thou hast paid the very last mite4 ,,chapter ,,xliv4 ,,tokens ,,of ,,coming ,,judgment--,,eighteen ,,years ,,infirmity4 ,there were present at that season some that told him of the ,galileans1 whose blood ,pilate had mingled with their sacrifices4 ,and ,jesus answering said unto them1 ,suppose ye that these ,galileans were sinners above all the ,galileans1 because they suffered such things8 ,i tell you1 ,nay3 but1 except ye repent1 ye shall all likewise perish4 ,or those eighteen1 upon whom the tower in ,siloam fell1 and slew them1 think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in ,jerusalem8 ,i tell you1 ,nay3 but1 except ye repent1 ye shall all likewise perish4 ,he spake also this parable3 ,a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard2 and he came and sought fruit thereon1 and found none4 ,then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard1 ,behold1 these three years ,i come seeking fruit on this fig tree1 and find none3 cut it down2 why cumbereth it the ground8 ,and he answering said unto him1 ,lord1 let it alone this year also1 till ,i shall dig about it1 and dung it3 and if it bear fruit1 well3 and if not1 then after that thou shalt cut it down4 ,and he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath4 ,and1 behold1 there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years1 and was bowed together1 and could in no wise lift up herself4 ,and when ,jesus saw her1 he called her to him1 and said unto her4 ,woman1 thou art loosed from thine infirmity4 ,and he laid his hands on her3 and immediately she was made straight1 and glorified ,god4 ,and the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation1 because that ,jesus had healed on the sabbath day1 and said unto the people1 ,there are six days in which men ought to work3 in them therefore come and be healed1 and not on the sabbath day4 ,the ,lord then answered him1 and said1 ,thou hypocrite1 doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall1 and lead him away to watering8 ,and ought not this woman1 being a daughter of ,abraham1 whom ,satan hath bound1 lo1 these eighteen years1 be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day8 ,and when he had said these things1 all his adversaries were ashamed3 and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him4 ,then said he1 ,unto what is the kingdom of ,god like8 and whereunto shall ,i resemble it8 ,it is like a grain of mustard seed1 which a man took1 and cast into his garden2 and it grew1 and waxed a great tree3 and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it4 ,and again he said1 ,whereunto shall ,i liken the kingdom of ,god8 ,it is like leaven1 which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal1 till the whole was leavened4 ,and he went through the cities and villages1 teaching1 and journeying toward ,jerusalem4 ,then said one unto him1 ,lord1 are there few that be saved8 ,and he said unto them1 ,strive to enter in at the strait gate3 for many1 ,i say unto you1 will seek to enter in1 and shall not be able4 ,when once the master of the house is risen up1 and hath shut to the door1 and ye begin to stand without1 and to knock at the door1 saying1 ,lord1 ,lord1 open unto us3 and he shall answer and say unto you1 ,i know you not whence ye are3 ,then shall ye begin to say1 ,we have eaten and drunk in thy presence1 and thou hast taught in our streets4 ,but he shall say1 ,i tell you1 ,i know you not whence ye are2 depart from me1 all ye workers of iniquity4 ,there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth1 when ye shall see ,abraham1 and ,isaac1 and ,jacob1 and all the prophets1 in the kingdom of ,god1 and you yourselves thrust out4 ,and they shall come from the east1 and from the west1 and from the north1 and from the south1 and shall sit down in the kingdom of ,god4 ,and1 behold1 there are last which shall be first1 and there are first which shall be last4 ,the same day there came certain of the ,pharisees1 saying unto him1 ,get thee out and depart hence1 for ,herod will kill thee4 ,and he said unto them1 ,go ye1 and tell that fox1 ,behold1 ,i cast out devils1 and ,i do cures to day and to morrow1 and the third day ,i shall be perfected4 ,nevertheless ,i must walk to day1 and to morrow1 and the day following3 for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of ,jerusalem4 ,o ,jerusalem1 ,jerusalem1 which killest the prophets1 and stonest them that are sent unto thee2 how often would ,i have gathered thy children together1 as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings1 and ye would not6 ,behold your house is left unto you desolate3 and verily ,i say unto you1 ,ye shall not see me1 until the time come when ye shall say1 ,blessed is he that cometh in the name of the ,lord4 ,,chapter ,,xlv4 ,,dropsy ,,cured--,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,great ,,supper4 ,and it came to pass1 as he went into the house of one of the chief ,pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day1 that they watched him4 ,and1 behold1 there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy4 ,and ,jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and ,pharisees1 saying1 ,is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day8 ,and they held their peace4 ,and he took him1 and healed him1 and let him go2 and answered them1 saying1 ,which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit1 and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day8 ,and they could not answer him again to these things4 ,and he put forth a parable to those which were bidden1 when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms2 saying unto them1 ,when thou art bidden of any man to a wedding1 sit not down in the highest room2 lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him2 and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee1 ,give this man place2 and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room4 ,but when thou art bidden1 go and sit down in the lowest room2 that when he that bade thee cometh1 he may say unto thee1 ,friend1 go up higher3 then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee4 ,for whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased2 and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted4 ,then said he also to him that bade him1 ,when thou makest a dinner or a supper1 call not thy friends1 nor thy brethren1 neither thy kinsmen1 nor thy rich neighbors2 lest they also bid thee again1 and a recompense be made thee4 ,but when thou makest a feast1 call the poor1 the maimed1 the lame1 the blind3 and thou shalt be blessed2 for they cannot recompense thee3 for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just4 ,and when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things1 he said unto him1 ,blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of ,god4 ,then said he unto him1 ,a certain man made a great supper1 and bade many3 and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden1 ,come2 for all things are now ready4 ,and they all with one consent began to make excuse4 ,the first said unto him1 ,i have bought a piece of ground1 and ,i must needs go and see it3 ,i pray thee have me excused4 ,and another said1 ,i have bought five yoke of oxen1 and ,i go to prove them3 ,i pray thee have me excused4 ,and another said1 ,i have married a wife1 and therefore ,i cannot come4 ,so that servant came and shewed his lord these things4 ,then the master of the house being angry said to his servant1 ,go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city1 and bring in hither the poor1 and the maimed1 and the halt1 and the blind4 ,and the servant said1 ,lord1 it is done as thou hast commanded1 and yet there is room4 ,and the ,lord said unto the servant1 ,go out into the highways and hedges1 and compel them to come in1 that my house may be filled4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper4 ,and there went great multitudes with him3 and he turned1 and said unto them1 ,if any man come to me1 and hate not his father1 and mother1 and wife1 and children1 and brethren1 and sisters1 yea1 and his own life also1 he cannot be my disciple4 ,and whosoever doth not bear his cross1 and come after me1 cannot be my disciple4 ,for which of you1 intending to build a tower1 sitteth not down first1 and counteth the cost1 whether he have sufficient to finish it8 ,lest haply1 after he hath laid the foundation1 and is not able to finish it1 all that behold it begin to mock him1 saying1 ,this man began to build1 and was not able to finish4 ,or what king1 going to make war against another king1 sitteth not down first1 and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand8 ,or else1 while the other is yet a great way off1 he sendeth an ambassage1 and desireth conditions of peace4 ,so likewise1 whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath1 he cannot be my disciple4 ,salt is good3 but if the salt have lost his savor1 wherewith shall it be seasoned8 ,it is neither fit for the land1 nor yet for the dunghill2 but men cast it out4 ,he that hath ears to hear1 let him hear4 ,,chapter ,,xlvi4 ,,parables ,,of ,,lost ,,sheep1 ,,lost ,,piece ,,of ,,silver ,,and ,,prodigal ,,son4 ,then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him4 ,and the ,pharisees and scribes murmured1 saying1 ,this man receiveth sinners1 and eateth with them4 ,and he spake this parable unto them1 saying1 ,what man of you1 having an hundred sheep1 if he lose one of them1 doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness1 and go after that which is lost1 until he find it8 ,and when he hath found it1 he layeth it on his shoulders1 rejoicing4 ,and when he cometh home1 he calleth together his friends and neighbors1 saying1 ,rejoice with me1 for ,i have found my sheep which was lost4 ,i say unto you1 that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth1 more than over ninety and nine just persons1 which need no repentance4 ,either what woman having ten pieces of silver1 if she lose one piece1 doth not light a candle1 and sweep the house1 and seek diligently1 till she find it8 ,and when she hath found it1 she calleth her friends and her neighbors together1 saying1 ,rejoice with me2 for ,i have found the piece which ,i had lost4 ,likewise1 ,i say unto you1 there is joy in the presence of the angels of ,god over one sinner that repenteth4 ,and he said1 ,a certain man had two sons3 and the younger of them said to his father1 ,father1 give me the portion of goods that falleth to me4 ,and he divided unto them his living4 ,and not many days after the younger son gathered all together1 and took his journey into a far country1 and there wasted his substance with riotous living4 ,and when he had spent all1 there arose a mighty famine in that land2 and he began to be in want4 ,and he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country2 and he sent him into his fields to feed swine4 ,and he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat2 and no man gave unto him4 ,and when he came to himself1 he said1 ,how many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare1 and ,i perish with hunger6 ,i will arise and go to my father1 and will say unto him1 ,father1 ,i have sinned against heaven1 and before thee1 and am no more worthy to be called thy son3 make me as one of thy hired servants4 ,and he arose1 and came to his father4 ,but when he was yet a great way off1 his father saw him1 and had compassion1 and ran1 and fell on his neck1 and kissed him4 ,and the son said unto him1 ,father1 ,i have sinned against heaven1 and in thy sight1 and am no more worthy to be called thy son4 ,but the father said to his servants1 ,bring forth the best robe1 and put it on him2 and put a ring on his hand1 and shoes on his feet3 and bring hither the fatted calf1 and kill it3 and let us eat and be merry3 for this my son was dead1 and is alive again2 he was lost1 and is found4 ,and they began to be merry4 ,now his elder son was in the field3 and as he came and drew nigh to the house1 he heard music and dancing4 ,and he called one of the servants1 and asked what these things meant4 ,and he said unto him1 ,thy brother is come2 and thy father hath killed the fatted calf1 because he hath received him safe and sound4 ,and he was angry1 and would not go in3 therefore came his father out and entreated him4 ,and he answering said to his father1 ,lo1 these many years do ,i serve thee1 neither transgressed ,i at any time thy commandment2 and yet thou never gavest me a kid that ,i might make merry with my friends3 but as soon as this thy son was come1 which hath devoured thy living with harlots1 thou hast killed for him the fatted calf4 ,and he said unto him1 ,son1 thou art ever with me1 and all that ,i have is thine4 ,it was meet that we should make merry1 and be glad3 for this thy brother was dead1 and is alive again2 and was lost1 and is found4 ,,chapter ,,xlvii4 ,,the ,,unjust ,,steward--,,the ,,rich ,,man ,,and ,,lazarus4 ,and he said also unto his disciples1 ,there was a certain rich man1 which had a steward2 and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods4 ,and he called him1 and said unto him1 ,how is it that ,i hear this of thee8 give an account of thy stewardship2 for thou mayest be no longer steward4 ,then the steward said within himself1 ,what shall ,i do8 for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship3 ,i cannot dig2 to beg ,i am ashamed4 ,i am resolved what to do1 that1 when ,i am put out of the stewardship1 they may receive me into their houses4 ,so he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him1 and said unto the first1 ,how much owest thou unto my lord8 ,and he said1 ,an hundred measures of oil4 ,and he said unto him1 ,take thy bill1 and sit down quickly1 and write fifty4 ,then said he to another1 ,and how much owest thou8 ,and he said1 ,an hundred measures of wheat4 ,and he said unto him1 ,take thy bill1 and write fourscore4 ,and the lord commended the unjust steward1 because he had done wisely3 for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness2 that1 when ye fail1 they may receive you into everlasting habitations4 ,he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much3 and he that is unjust in the least1 is unjust also in much4 ,if therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon1 who will commit to your trust the true riches8 ,and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's1 who shall give you that which is your own8 ,no man can serve two masters3 for either he will hate the one1 and love the other1 or else he will hold to the one1 and despise the other4 ,ye cannot serve ,god and mammon4 ,and the ,pharisees also1 who were covetous1 heard all these things3 and they derided him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye are they which justify yourselves before men2 but ,god knoweth your hearts3 for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of ,god4 ,the law and the prophets were until ,john3 since that time the kingdom of ,god is preached1 and every man presseth into it4 ,and it is easier for heaven and earth to pass1 than one tittle of the law to fail4 ,whosoever putteth away his wife1 and marrieth another1 committeth adultery3 and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery4 ,there was a certain rich man1 which was clothed in purple and fine linen1 and fared sumptuously every day3 and there was a certain beggar named ,lazarus1 which was laid at his gate full of sores1 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table3 moreover the dogs came and licked his sores4 ,and it came to pass1 that the beggar died1 and was carried by the angels into ,abraham's bosom3 the rich man also died and was buried2 and in hell he lift up his eyes1 being in torments1 and seeth ,abraham afar off1 and ,lazarus in his bosom4 ,and he cried and said1 ,father ,abraham have mercy on me1 and send ,lazarus1 that he may dip the tip of his finger in water1 and cool my tongue3 for ,i am tormented in this flame4 ,but ,abraham said1 ,son1 remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things1 and likewise ,lazarus evil things3 but now he is comforted1 and thou art tormented4 ,and besides all this1 between us and you there is a great gulf fixed3 so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot2 neither can they pass to us1 that would come from thence4 ,then he said1 ,i pray thee therefore1 father1 that thou wouldest send him to my father's house3 for ,i have five brethren2 that he may testify unto them1 lest they also come into this place of torment4 ,abraham saith unto him1 ,they have ,moses and the prophets2 let them hear them4 ,and he said1 ,nay1 father ,abraham3 but if one went unto them from the dead1 they will repent4 ,and he said unto him1 ,if they hear not ,moses and the prophets1 neither will they be persuaded1 though one rose from the dead4 ,,chapter ,,xlviii4 ,,of ,,giving ,,offence--,,ten ,,lepers--,,second ,,coming ,,of ,,jesus4 ,then said he unto his disciples1 ,it is impossible but that offences will come3 but woe unto him1 through whom they come6 ,it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck1 and he cast into the sea1 than that he should offend one of these little ones4 ,take heed to yourselves3 ,if thy brother trespass against thee1 rebuke him2 and if he repent1 forgive him4 ,and if he trespass against thee seven times in a day1 and seven times in a day turn again to thee1 saying1 ,i repent2 thou shalt forgive him4 ,and the apostles said unto the ,lord1 ,increase our faith4 ,and the ,lord said1 ,if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed1 ye might say unto this sycamine tree1 ,be thou plucked up by the root1 and be thou planted in the sea2 and it should obey you4 ,but which of you1 having a servant plowing or feeding cattle1 will say unto him by and by1 when he is come from the field1 ,go and sit down to meat8 ,and will not rather say unto him1 ,make ready wherewith ,i may sup1 and gird thyself1 and serve me1 till ,i have eaten and drunken2 and afterward thou shalt eat and drink8 ,doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him8 ,i trow not4 ,so likewise ye1 when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you1 say1 ,we are unprofitable servants3 we have done that which was our duty to do4 ,and it came to pass1 as he went to ,jerusalem1 that he passed through the midst of ,samaria and ,galilee4 ,and as he entered into a certain village1 there met him ten men that were lepers1 which stood afar off and they lifted up their voices1 and said1 ,jesus1 ,master1 have mercy on us4 ,and when he saw them1 he said unto them1 ,go shew yourselves unto the priests4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 as they went1 they were cleansed4 ,and one of them1 when he saw1 that he was healed1 turned back1 and with a loud voice glorified ,god4 ,and fell down on his face at his feet1 giving him thanks3 and he was a ,samaritan4 ,and ,jesus answering said1 ,were there not ten cleansed8 but where are the nine8 ,there are not found that returned to give glory to ,god1 save this stranger4 ,and he said unto him1 ,arise1 go thy way3 thy faith hath made thee whole4 ,and it came to pass1 that when ,jesus had finished these sayings1 he departed from ,galilee1 and came into the coasts of ,judea1 by the farther side of ,jordan3 and great multitudes followed him2 and he healed them there2 and as he was wont1 he taught them again4 ,and when he was demanded of the ,pharisees1 when the kingdom of ,god should come1 he answered them and said1 ,the kingdom of ,god cometh not with observation3 neither shall they say1 ,lo here6 or1 lo there6 for1 behold1 the kingdom of ,god is within you4 ,and he said unto the disciples1 ,the days will come1 when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the ,son of man1 and ye shall not see it4 ,and they shall say to you1 ,see here2 or1 see there3 go not after them1 nor follow them4 ,for as the lightning1 that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven1 shineth unto the other part under heaven2 so shall also the ,son of man be in his day4 ,but first must he suffer many things1 and be rejected of this generation4 ,and as it was in the days of ,noe1 so shall it be also in the days of the ,son of man4 ,they did eat1 they drank1 they married wives1 they were given in marriage1 until the day that ,noe entered into the ark1 and the flood came1 and destroyed them all4 ,likewise also as it was in the days of ,lot2 they did eat1 they drank1 they bought1 they sold1 they planted1 they builded2 but the same day that ,lot went out of ,sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven1 and destroyed them all4 ,even thus shall it be in the day when the ,son of man is revealed4 ,in that day1 he which shall be upon the housetop1 and his stuff in the house1 let him not come down to take it away2 and he that is in the field1 let him likewise not return back4 ,remember ,lot's wife4 ,whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it2 and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it4 ,i tell you1 in that night there shall be two men in one bed2 the one shall be taken1 and the other left4 ,two women shall be grinding together2 the one shall be taken1 and the other left4 ,two men shall be in the field3 the one shall be taken1 and the other left4 ,and they answered and said unto him1 ,where1 ,lord8 ,and he said unto them1 ,wheresoever the body is1 thither will the eagles be gathered together4 ,,chapter ,,xlix4 ,,importunate ,,widow--,,marriage--,,children ,,brought ,,to ,,jesus4 ,and he spake a parable unto them to this end1 that men ought always to pray1 and not to faint2 saying1 ,there was in a city a judge1 which feared not ,god1 neither regarded man3 and there was a widow in that city2 and she came unto him1 saying1 ,avenge me of mine adversary4 ,and he would not for a while3 but afterward he said within himself1 ,though ,i fear not ,god1 nor regard man3 yet because this widow troubleth me1 ,i will avenge her1 lest by her continual coming she weary me4 ,and the ,lord said1 ,hear what the unjust judge saith4 ,and shall not ,god avenge his own elect1 which cry day and night unto him1 though he bear long with them8 ,i tell you that he will avenge them speedily4 ,nevertheless when the ,son of man cometh1 shall he find faith on the earth4 ,and he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous1 and despised others3 ,two men went up into the temple to pray2 the one a ,pharisee1 and the other a publican4 ,the ,pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself1 ,god1 ,i thank thee1 that ,i am not as other men are1 extortioners1 unjust1 adulterers1 or even as this publican4 ,i fast twice in the week1 ,i give tithes of all that ,i possess4 ,and the publican1 standing afar off1 would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven1 but smote upon his breast1 saying1 ,god be merciful to me a sinner4 ,i tell you1 this man went down to his house justified rather than the other3 for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased2 and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted4 ,the ,pharisees also came unto him1 tempting him1 and saying unto him1 ,is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause8 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,what did ,moses command you8 ,and they said1 ,moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement1 and to put her away4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,for the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept4 ,have ye not read1 that from the beginning of the creation ,god made them male and female1 and said1 ,for this cause shall a man leave father and mother1 and shall cleave to his wife3 and they twain shall be one flesh8 ,wherefore they are no more twain1 but one flesh4 ,what therefore ,god hath joined together1 let not man put asunder4 ,they say unto him1 ,why did ,moses then command to give a writing of divorcement1 and to put her away8 he saith unto them1 ,moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives3 but from the beginning it was not so4 ,and ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall put away his wife1 except it be for fornication1 and shall marry another1 committeth adultery3 and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery4 ,and in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,whosoever shall put away his wife1 and marry another1 committeth adultery against her4 ,and if a woman shall put away her husband and be married to another1 she committeth adultery4 ,his disciples say unto him1 ,if the case of the man be so with his wife1 it is not good to marry4 ,but he said unto them1 ,all men cannot receive this saying1 save they to whom it is given4 ,for there are some eunuchs1 which were so born from their mother's womb3 and there are some eunuchs1 which were made eunuchs of men3 and there be eunuchs1 which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake4 ,he that is able to receive it1 let him receive it4 ,then were there brought unto him little children1 that he should put his hands on them and pray3 but when his disciples saw it1 they rebuked those that brought them4 ,but when ,jesus saw it1 he was much displeased1 and said unto them1 ,suffer the little children to come unto me1 and forbid them not3 for of such is the kingdom of ,god4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of ,god as a little child1 he shall not enter therein4 ,and he took them up in his arms1 put his hands upon them1 and blessed them1 and departed thence4 ,,chapter ,l4 ,,young ,,ruler--,,warning ,,to ,,the ,,rich--,,parable ,,of ,,labourers4 ,and when he was gone forth into the way1 there came one running1 and kneeled to him and said unto him1 ,good ,master1 what good thing shall ,i do1 that ,i may have eternal life8 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,why callest thou me good8 there is none good but one1 that is1 ,god3 but if thou wilt enter into life1 keep the commandments4 ,he saith unto him1 ,which8 ,jesus said1 ,thou knowest the commandments4 ,thou shalt do no murder1 ,thou shalt not commit adultery1 ,thou shalt not steal1 ,thou shalt not bear false witness1 ,defraud not1 ,honor thy father and mother1 and1 ,thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself4 ,the young man saith unto him1 ,master1 all these things have ,i kept from my youth up3 what lack ,i yet8 ,then ,jesus beholding him loved him1 and said unto him1 ,one thing thou lackest3 if thou wilt be perfect1 go thy way1 sell whatsoever thou hast1 and give to the poor1 and thou shalt have treasure in heaven3 and come1 take up the cross1 and follow me4 ,but when the young man heard that saying1 he went away sorrowful3 for he had great possessions4 ,and when ,jesus saw that he was very sorrowful1 he looked round about1 and saith unto his disciples1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven6 ,and the disciples were astonished at his words4 ,but ,jesus answereth again1 and saith unto them4 ,children1 how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of ,god6 ,it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle1 than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,when his disciples heard it1 they were exceedingly amazed1 and they were astonished out of measure1 saying among themselves1 ,who then can be saved8 ,and ,jesus looking upon them saith1 ,with men it is impossible1 but not with ,god3 for with ,god all things are possible4 ,then answered ,peter and said unto him1 ,behold1 we have forsaken all1 and followed thee3 what shall we have therefore8 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that ye which have followed me1 in the regeneration when the ,son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory1 ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones1 judging the twelve tribes of ,israel4 ,and every one that hath forsaken houses1 or brethren1 or sisters1 or father1 or mother1 or wife1 or children1 or lands1 for my name's sake1 and the gospel's1 shall receive an hundredfold1 now in this time1 houses1 and brethren1 and sisters1 and mothers1 and children1 and lands1 with persecutions2 and in the world to come1 eternal life4 ,but many that are first shall be last2 and the last first4 ,for the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder1 which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard4 ,and when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day1 he sent them into his vineyard4 ,and he went out about the third hour1 and saw others standing idle in the market place1 and said unto them1 ,go ye also into the vineyard1 and whatsoever is right ,i will give you4 ,and they went their way4 ,again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour1 and did likewise4 ,and about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle1 and saith unto them1 ,why stand ye here all the day idle8 ,they say unto him1 ,because no man hath hired us4 ,he saith unto them1 ,go ye also into the vineyard2 and whatsoever is right1 that shall ye receive4 ,so when even was come1 the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward1 ,call the laborers1 and give them their hire1 beginning from the last unto the first4 ,and when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour1 they received every man a penny4 ,but when the first came1 they supposed that they should have received more2 and they likewise received every man a penny4 ,and when they had received it1 they murmured against the goodman of the house1 saying1 ,these last have wrought but one hour1 and thou hast made them equal unto us1 which have borne the burden and heat of the day4 ,but he answered one of them1 and said1 ,friend1 ,i do thee no wrong3 didst not thou agree with me for a penny8 ,take that thine is1 and go thy way3 ,i will give unto this last1 even as unto thee4 ,is it not lawful for me to do what ,i will with mine own8 ,is thine eye evil1 because ,i am good8 ,so the last shall be first1 and the first last2 for many be called1 but few chosen4 ,,chapter ,,li4 ,,zebedee',s ,,children--,,heals ,,two ,,blind ,,men ,,near ,,jericho4 ,and they were in the way going up to ,jerusalem2 and ,jesus went before them3 and they were amazed2 and as they followed1 they were afraid4 ,and he took again the twelve disciples apart in the way1 and began to tell them what things should happen unto him1 saying1 ,behold1 we go up to ,jerusalem2 and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the ,son of man shall be accomplished4 ,and the ,son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes1 and they shall condemn him to death1 and shall deliver him to the ,gentiles3 and they shall mock him1 and shall scourge him1 and shall spit upon him1 and shall kill him3 and the third day he shall rise again4 ,and they understood none of these things3 and this saying was hid from them1 neither knew they the things which were spoken4 ,then came to him the mother of ,zebedee's children with her sons1 ,james and ,john1 worshipping him1 and desiring a certain thing of him1 saying1 ,master1 we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire4 ,and he said unto them1 ,what would ye that ,i should do for you8 ,they said unto him1 ,grant unto us that we may sit1 one on thy right hand1 and the other on thy left hand1 in thy glory4 ,and ,jesus answered and said1 ,ye know not what ye ask4 ,are ye able to drink of the cup that ,i shall drink of1 and to be baptized with the baptism that ,i am baptized with8 ,they say unto him1 ,we are able4 ,and ,jesus said unto them1 ,ye shall indeed drink of the cup that ,i drink of2 and with the baptism that ,i am baptized withal shall ye be baptized3 but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give2 but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my ,father4 ,and when the ten heard it1 they were moved with indignation against the two brethren1 ,james and ,john4 ,but ,jesus called them to him1 and saith unto them1 ,ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the ,gentiles exercise lordship over them2 and their great ones exercise authority upon them4 ,but so shall it not be among you3 but whosoever shall be great among you shall be your minister3 and whosoever of you will be the chiefest1 shall be servant of all4 ,for even the ,son of man came not to be ministered unto1 but to minister1 and to give his life a ransom for many4 ,and it came to pass1 that as he was come nigh unto ,jericho1 a certain blind man sat by the way side begging3 and hearing the multitude pass by1 he asked what it meant4 ,and they told him1 that ,jesus of ,nazareth passeth by4 ,and he cried1 saying1 ,jesus1 thou ,son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 ,and they which went before rebuked him1 that he should hold his peace3 but he cried so much the more1 ,thou ,son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 ,and ,jesus stood1 and commanded him to be brought unto him3 and when he was come near1 he asked him1 saying1 ,what wilt thou that ,i shall do unto thee8 ,and he said1 ,lord1 that ,i may receive my sight4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,receive thy sight3 thy faith hath saved thee8 ,and immediately he received his sight1 and followed him1 glorifying ,god3 and all the people1 when they saw it1 gave praise unto ,god4 ,and ,jesus entered and passed through ,jericho3 and as he went out of ,jericho with his disciples and a great number of people1 blind ,bartimeus1 the son of ,timeus1 sat by the highway side begging4 ,and when he heard that it was ,jesus of ,nazareth1 he began to cry out1 and say1 ,jesus1 thou son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 ,and many charged him that he should hold his peace3 but he cried the more a great deal1 ,thou ,son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 ,and ,jesus stood still1 and commanded him to be called4 ,and they call the blind man1 saying unto him1 ,be of good comfort1 rise2 he calleth thee1 ,and he1 casting away his garment1 rose1 and came to ,jesus4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,what wilt thou that ,i should do unto thee8 ,the blind man said unto him1 ,lord1 that ,i might receive my sight4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,go thy way2 thy faith hath made thee whole4 ,and immediately he received his sight1 and followed ,jesus in the way4 ,,chapter ,,lii4 ,,nobleman ,,servants--,,mary ,,anoints ,,jesus4 ,and1 behold1 there was a man named ,zaccheus1 which was the chief among the publicans1 and he was rich4 ,and he sought to see ,jesus who he was2 and could not for the press1 because he was little of stature4 ,and he ran before1 and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him3 for he was to pass that way4 ,and when ,jesus came to the place1 he looked up1 and saw him1 and said unto him1 ,zaccheus1 make haste1 and come down3 for to day ,i must abide at thy house4 ,and he made haste1 and came down1 and received him joyfully4 ,and when they saw it1 they all murmured1 saying1 ,that he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner4 ,and ,zaccheus stood and said unto the ,lord2 ,behold1 ,lord1 the half of my goods ,i give to the poor2 and if ,i have taken anything from any man by false accusation1 ,i restore him fourfold4 ,and ,jesus said1 unto him1 ,this day is salvation come to this house1 forasmuch as he also is a son of ,abraham4 ,for the ,son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost4 ,and as they heard these things1 he added and spake a parable1 because he was nigh to ,jerusalem1 and because they thought that the kingdom of ,god should immediately appear4 ,he said therefore1 ,a certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom1 and to return4 ,and he called his ten servants1 and delivered them ten pounds1 and said unto them1 ,occupy till ,i come4 ,but his citizens hated him1 and sent a message after him1 saying1 ,we will not have this man to reign over us4 ,and it came to pass1 that when he was returned1 having received the kingdom1 then he commanded these servants to be called unto him1 to whom he had given the money1 that he might know how much every man had gained by trading4 ,then came the first saying1 ,lord1 thy pound hath gained ten pounds4 ,and he said unto him1 ,well1 thou good servant3 because thou hast been faithful in a very little1 have thou authority over ten cities4 ,and the second came1 saying1 ,lord1 thy pound hath gained five pounds4 ,and he said likewise to him1 ,be thou also over five cities4 ,and another came1 saying1 ,lord1 behold1 here is thy pound1 which ,i have kept laid up in a napkin2 for ,i feared thee1 because thou art an austere man3 thou takest up that thou layedst not down1 and reapest that thou didst not sow4 ,and he saith unto him1 ,out of thine own mouth will ,i judge thee1 thou wicked servant4 ,thou knewest that ,i was an austere man1 taking up that ,i laid not down1 and reaping that ,i did not sow3 ,wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank1 that at my coming ,i might have required mine own with usury8 ,and he said unto them that stood by1 ,take from him the pound1 and give it to him that hath ten pounds4 7,and they said unto him1 ,lord1 he hath ten pounds47 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,that unto every one which hath shall be given2 and from him that hath not1 even that he hath shall be taken away from him4 ,but those mine enemies1 which would not that ,i should reign over them1 bring hither1 and slay them before me4 ,and when he had thus spoken1 he went before1 ascending up to ,jerusalem4 ,and the ,jews' passover was nigh at hand2 and many went out of the country up to ,jerusalem1 before the passover1 to purify themselves4 ,then sought they for ,jesus1 and spake among themselves1 as they stood in the temple1 ,what think ye1 that he will not come to the feast8 ,now both the chief priests and the ,pharisees had given a commandment1 that if any man knew where he were1 he should shew it1 that they might take him4 ,then ,jesus six days before the passover came to ,bethany1 where ,lazarus was which had been dead1 whom he raised from the dead4 ,now when ,jesus was in ,bethany1 in the house of ,simon the leper there they made him a supper2 and ,martha served2 but ,lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him4 ,then took ,mary an alabaster box of a pound of ointment of spikenard1 very costly1 and she brake the box1 and poured it on his head1 as he sat at meat1 and anointed the feet of ,jesus1 and wiped his feet with her hair3 and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment4 ,but when his disciples saw it1 then saith one of his disciples1 ,judas ,iscariot1 ,simon's son1 which should betray him1 why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence1 and given to the poor8 ,this he said1 not that he cared for the poor2 but because he was a thief1 and had the bag1 and bare what was put therein4 ,and there were some that had indignation within themselves1 and said1 ,why was this waste of the ointment made8 ,for it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence1 and have been given to the poor4 ,and they murmured against her4 ,when ,jesus understood it1 he said unto them1 ,why trouble ye the woman8 ,let her alone3 why trouble ye her8 she hath wrought a good work on me3 against the day of my burying hath she kept this4 ,for ye have the poor with you always1 and whensoever ye will ye may do them good3 but me ye have not always4 ,she hath done what she could3 for in that she hath poured this ointment on my body1 she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world1 there shall also this1 that this woman hath done1 be told for a memorial of her4 ,much people of the ,jews therefore knew that he was there3 and they came not for ,jesus' sake only1 but that they might see ,lazarus also1 whom he had raised from the dead4 ,but the chief priests consulted that they might put ,lazarus also to death2 because that by reason of him many of the ,jews went away1 and believed on ,jesus4 ,,chapter ,,liii4 ,,triumphant ,,entrance ,,of ,,jesus ,,into ,,jerusalem4 ,on the next day much people that were come to the feast1 when they heard that ,jesus was coming to ,jerusalem1 took branches of palm trees1 and went forth to meet him1 and cried1 ,hosanna3 ,blessed is the ,king of ,israel that cometh in the name of the ,lord4 ,and when they drew nigh unto ,jerusalem1 and were come nigh to ,bethphage and ,bethany1 at the mount called the mount of ,olives1 then sent ,jesus two disciples1 saying unto them1 ,go into the village over against you1 and straightway1 as soon as ye enter into it1 ye shall find an ass tied1 and a colt with her1 whereon yet never man sat2 loose them1 and bring them unto me4 ,and if any man say unto you1 ,why do ye this8 say ye that the ,lord hath need of them2 and straightway he will send them hither4 ,all this was done1 that it might be fulfilled1 which was spoken by the prophet1 saying1 ,tell ye the daughter of ,sion1 ,behold1 thy ,king cometh unto thee1 meek and sitting upon an ass1 and a colt the foal of an ass4 ,and the disciples that were sent went their way1 and found even as he had said unto them1 the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met2 and they loose him4 ,and as they were loosing the colt1 the owners thereof said unto them1 ,why loose ye the colt8 ,and they said1 ,the ,lord hath need of him2 even as ,jesus had commanded3 and they let them go4 ,and they brought the ass and the colt to ,jesus3 and they cast their garments upon the colt1 and they set ,jesus thereon2 as it is written1 ,fear not1 daughter of ,sion3 behold1 thy ,king cometh1 sitting on an ass's colt4 ,these things understood not his disciples at the first3 but when ,jesus was glorified1 then remembered they that these things were written of him1 and that they had done these things unto him4 ,and as he went1 a very great multitude spread their garments in the way2 others cut down branches from the trees1 and strewed them in the way4 ,and when he was come nigh1 even now at the descent of the mount of ,olives1 the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise ,god with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen2 saying1 ,blessed be the ,king that cometh in the name of the ,lord3 peace in heaven1 and glory in the highest4 ,the people therefore that was with him when he called ,lazarus out of his grave1 and raised him from the dead1 bare record4 ,for this cause the people also met him1 for that they heard that he had done this miracle4 ,and some of the ,pharisees from among the multitude said unto him1 ,master1 rebuke thy disciples4 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,i tell you that1 if these should hold their peace1 the stones would immediately cry out4 ,and the multitudes that went before1 and that followed1 cried1 saying1 ,hosanna to the son of ,david3 ,blessed is he that cometh in the name of the ,lord3 ,hosanna in the highest4 ,blessed be the kingdom of our father ,david1 that cometh in the name of the ,lord3 ,hosanna in the highest4 ,and when he was come near1 he beheld the city1 and wept over it1 saying1 ,if thou hadst known1 even thou1 at least in this thy day1 the things which belong unto thy peace6 but now they are hid from thine eyes4 ,for the days shall come upon thee1 that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee1 and compass thee round1 and keep thee in on every side4 ,and shall lay thee even with the ground1 and thy children within thee2 and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another2 because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation4 ,and when he was come into ,jerusalem1 all the city was moved1 saying1 ,who is this8 ,and the multitude said1 ,this is ,jesus the prophet of ,nazareth of ,galilee4 ,and ,jesus entered into ,jerusalem and into the temple4 ,the ,pharisees therefore said among themselves1 ,perceive ye how ye prevail nothing8 behold1 the world is gone after him4 ,and the blind and the lame came to him in the temple2 and he healed them4 ,and when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did1 and the children crying in the temple1 and saying1 ,hosanna to the son of ,david2 they were sore displeased1 and said unto him1 ,hearest thou what these say8 ,and ,jesus saith unto them1 ,yea2 have ye never read2 ,out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise8 ,and when he had looked round about upon all things1 and now the eventide was come1 he went out4 ,,chapter ,,liv4 ,,greeks ,,wish ,,to ,,see ,,jesus--,,barren ,,fig ,,tree4 ,and there were certain ,greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast3 the same came therefore to ,philip1 which was of ,bethsaida of ,galilee1 and desired him1 saying1 ,sir1 we would see ,jesus4 ,philip cometh and telleth ,andrew3 and again ,andrew and ,philip tell ,jesus4 ,and ,jesus answered them1 saying1 ,the hour is come1 that the ,son of man should be glorified4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die1 it abideth alone3 but if it die1 it bringeth forth much fruit4 ,he that loveth his life shall lose it2 and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal4 ,if any man serve me1 let him follow me2 and where ,i am there shall also my servant be3 if any man serve me1 him will my ,father honor4 ,now is my soul troubled2 and what shall ,i say8 ,father1 save me from this hour3 but for this cause came ,i unto this hour4 ,father1 glorify thy name4 ,then came there a voice from heaven1 saying1 ,i have both glorified it1 and will glorify it again4 ,the people therefore that stood by1 and heard it1 said that it thundered3 others said1 ,an ,angel spake to him4 ,jesus answered and said1 ,this voice came not because of me1 but for your sakes4 ,now is the judgment of this world3 now shall the prince of this world be cast out4 ,and ,i1 if ,i be lifted up from the earth1 will draw all men unto me4 ,this he said1 signifying what death he should die4 ,the people answered him1 ,we have heard out of the law that ,christ abideth for ever2 and how sayest thou1 ,the son of man must be lifted up8 ,who is this son of man8 ,then ,jesus said unto them1 ,yet a little while is the light with you4 ,walk while ye have the light1 lest darkness come upon you2 for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth4 ,while ye have light1 believe in the light1 that ye may be the children of light4 ,these things spake ,jesus1 and departed1 and did hide himself from them4 ,and he left them1 and went out of the city into ,bethany1 with the twelve2 and lodged there4 ,and on the morrow1 in the morning1 when they were come from ,bethany1 as he returned into the city1 he hungered4 ,and when he saw a fig tree in the way1 afar off having leaves1 he came1 if haply he might find any thing thereon3 and when he came to it1 he found nothing but leaves2 for the time of figs was not yet4 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto it1 ,no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever4 ,and his disciples heard it4 ,and presently the fig tree withered away4 ,and when the disciples saw it1 they marvelled1 saying1 ,how soon is the fig tree withered away6 ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,if ye have faith1 and doubt not1 ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree1 but also if ye shall say unto this mountain1 ,be thou removed1 and be thou cast into the sea2 it shall be done4 ,and all things1 whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer1 believing1 ye shall receive4 ,and they come to ,jerusalem3 and ,jesus went into the temple of ,god1 and began to cast out them that sold therein1 and them that bought in the temple1 and overthrew the tables of the money changers1 and the seats of them that sold doves2 and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple4 ,and he taught1 saying unto them1 ,is it not written1 ,my house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer8 but ye have made it a den of thieves4 ,and the scribes and chief priests heard it4 ,and he taught daily in the temple4 ,but the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him1 and could not find what they might do3 for they feared him1 because all the people was astonished at his doctrine 7and were very attentive to hear him47 ,and when even was come1 he went out of the city4 ,and in the morning1 as they passed by1 they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots4 ,and ,peter calling to remembrance saith unto him1 ,master1 behold1 the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away4 ,and ,jesus answering saith unto them1 ,have faith in ,god4 ,for verily ,i say unto you1 ,that whosoever shall say unto this mountain1 ,be thou removed1 and be thou cast into the sea2 and shall not doubt in his heart1 but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass1 he shall have whatsoever he saith4 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,what things soever ye desire1 when ye pray1 believe that ye receive them1 and ye shall have them4 ,and when ye stand praying1 forgive1 if ye have ought against any2 that your ,father also1 which is in heaven1 may forgive you your trespasses4 ,but if ye do not forgive1 neither will your ,father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses4 ,,chapter ,,lv4 ,,pharisees ,,question ,,his ,,authority--,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,householder ,,and ,,his ,,vineyard4 ,and they come again to ,jerusalem3 and it came to pass1 that on one of those days1 as he taught the people in the temple1 and preached the gospel1 the chief priests and the scribes1 and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching1 and spake unto him1 saying1 ,tell us1 by what authority doest thou these things8 or who is he that gave thee this authority to do these things8 ,and ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,i will also ask of you one question1 which if ye tell me1 ,i in likewise will tell you by what authority ,i do these things4 ,the baptism of ,john1 whence was it8 from heaven1 or of men8 answer me4 ,and they reasoned with themselves1 saying1 ,if we shall say1 ,from heaven2 he will say1 ,why then did ye not believe him8 ,but if we shall say1 ,of men3 all the people will stone us3 for all men counted ,john1 that he was a prophet indeed4 ,and they answered and said unto ,jesus1 ,we cannot tell4 ,and ,jesus answering saith unto them1 ,neither do ,i tell you by what authority ,i do these things4 ,but what think ye8 ,a certain man had two sons2 and he came to the first1 and said1 ,son1 go work today in my vineyard4 ,he answered and said1 ,i will not3 but afterward he repented1 and went4 ,and he came to the second1 and said likewise4 ,and he answered and said1 ,i go1 sir3 and went not4 ,whether of them twain did the will of his father8 ,they say unto him1 ,the first4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of ,god before you4 ,for ,john came unto you in the way of righteousness1 and ye believed him not2 but the publicans and the harlots believed him3 and ye1 when ye had seen it1 repented not afterward1 that ye might believe him4 ,hear another parable3 ,there was a certain householder1 which planted a vineyard1 and hedged it round about1 and digged a wine-press in it1 and built a tower1 and let it out to husbandmen1 and went into a far country1 for a long time4 ,and at the season when the time of the fruit drew near1 he sent to the husbandmen a servant1 that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard4 ,and the husbandmen caught him1 and beat him1 and sent him away empty4 ,and again he sent unto them another servant2 and at him they cast stones1 and wounded him in the head1 and entreated him shamefully1 and sent him away empty4 ,and again he sent a third3 and him they killed1 and cast him out4 ,and many others2 beating some1 and killing some4 ,having yet therefore one son1 his well beloved1 then said the lord of the vineyard1 ,what shall ,i do8 ,i will send my beloved son3 he sent him also last unto them1 saying1 ,it may be they will reverence him1 when they see him4 ,but when the husbandmen saw him1 they reasoned among themselves1 saying1 ,this is the heir3 come1 let us kill him1 that the inheritance may be ours4 ,so they cast him out of the vineyard1 and killed him4 ,when the ,lord therefore of the vineyard cometh1 what will he do unto those husbandmen8 ,they say unto him1 ,he will miserably destroy those wicked men1 and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen1 which shall render him the fruits in their season4 ,and when they heard it1 they said1 ,god forbid4 ,and he beheld them1 and said unto them1 ,did ye never read in the ,scriptures1 ,the stone which the builders rejected1 the same is become the head of the corner3 this is the ,lord's doing1 and it is marvellous in our eyes8 ,therefore ,i say unto you1 ,the kingdom of ,god shall be taken from you1 and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof4 ,and whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken3 but on whomsoever it shall fall1 it will grind him to powder4 ,and when the chief priests and ,pharisees had heard his parables1 they perceived that he spake of them4 ,but when they sought the same hour to lay hands on him1 they feared the multitude1 because they took him for a prophet3 for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them2 and they left him1 and went their way4 ,,chapter ,,lvi4 ,,the ,,marriage ,,feast--,,tribute ,,to ,,cesar--,,jewish ,,infidelity4 ,and ,jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables1 and said1 ,the kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king1 which made a marriage for his son1 and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding3 and they would not come4 ,again1 he sent forth other servants1 saying1 ,tell them which are bidden1 ,behold1 ,i have prepared my dinner3 my oxen and my fatlings are killed1 and all things are ready3 come unto the marriage4 ,but they made light of it1 and went their ways1 one to his farm1 another to his merchandise3 and the remnant took his servants1 and entreated them spitefully1 and slew them4 ,but when the king heard thereof1 he was wroth3 and sent forth his armies1 and destroyed those murderers1 and burned up their city4 ,then saith he to his servants1 ,the wedding is ready1 but they which were bidden were not worthy4 ,go ye therefore into the highways1 and as many as ye shall find1 bid to the marriage4 ,so those servants went out into the highways1 and gathered all as many as they found1 both bad and good3 and the wedding was furnished with guests4 ,and when the king came in to see the guests1 he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment2 and he saith unto him1 ,friend1 how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment8 ,and he was speechless4 ,then said the king to the servants1 ,bind him hand and foot1 and take him away1 and cast him into outer darkness2 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth4 ,for many are called1 but few are chosen4 ,then went the ,pharisees1 and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk4 ,and they watched him1 and sent forth spies1 certain of the ,pharisees and of the ,herodians1 which should feign themselves just men1 that they might take hold of his words1 that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor4 ,and when they were come1 they say unto him1 ,master1 we know that thou art true1 and teachest the way of ,god in truth1 neither carest thou for any man3 for thou regardest not the person of men1 but teachest the way of ,god in truth4 ,tell us therefore1 ,what thinkest thou8 ,is it lawful to give tribute unto ,cesar1 or not8 ,shall we give1 or shall we not give8 ,but ,jesus perceived their wickedness1 and said1 ,why tempt ye me1 ye hypocrites8 ,shew me the tribute money2 bring me a penny1 that ,i may see it4 ,and they brought unto him a penny4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,whose is this image and superscription8 ,they say unto him1 ,cesar's4 ,then saith he unto them1 ,render therefore unto ,cesar the things which are ,cesar's2 and unto ,god the things that are ,god's4 ,and they could not take hold of his words before the people4 ,when they had heard these words1 they marvelled at his answer and held their peace1 and left him1 and went their way4 ,the same day came to him certain of the ,sadducees1 which deny that there is any resurrection2 and they asked him1 saying1 ,master1 ,moses wrote unto us1 ,if any man's brother die1 and leave his wife behind him1 and leave no children1 that his brother shall marry his wife1 and raise up seed unto his brother4 ,now there were with us seven brethren3 and the first1 when he had married a wife1 died1 and having no issue1 left his wife unto his brother3 and the second took her to wife1 and he died childless4 ,and the third took her2 and in like manner the seven also3 and they left no children1 and died4 ,last of all the woman died also4 ,therefore in the resurrection1 when they shall rise1 whose wife shall she be of the seven8 for they all had her to wife4 ,and ,jesus answering said unto them1 ,do ye not therefore err1 because ye know not the ,scriptures1 neither the power of ,god8 ,the children of this world marry1 and are given in marriage3 but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world1 and the resurrection from the dead1 neither marry1 nor are given in marriage3 neither can they die any more3 for they are equal unto the angels of ,god in heaven2 and are the children of ,god1 being the children of the resurrection4 ,and as touching the dead1 that they rise3 have ye not read in the book of ,moses1 how in the bush ,god spake unto him1 saying1 ,i am the ,god of ,abraham1 and the ,god of ,isaac1 and the ,god of ,jacob8 ,he is not the ,god of the dead1 but the ,god of the living2 for all live unto him4 ,ye therefore do greatly err4 ,and when the multitude heard this1 they were astonished at his doctrine4 ,then certain of the scribes answering said1 ,master1 thou hast well said4 ,and after that they durst not ask him any question at all4 ,,chapter ,,lvii4 ,,jesus ,,answers ,,sadducees ,,and ,,pharisees--,,widows ,,offering4 ,but when the ,pharisees had heard that he had put the ,sadducees to silence1 they were gathered together4 ,and one of the scribes which was a lawyer1 came1 and having heard them reasoning together1 and perceiving that he had answered them well1 asked him a question1 tempting him1 and saying1 ,master1 which is the great commandment in the law8 ,which is the ,first commandment of all8 ,and ,jesus answered him1 ,the first of all the commandments is1 ,hear1 ,o ,israel1 ,the ,lord our ,god is one ,lord3 and thou shalt love the ,lord thy ,god with all thy heart1 and with all thy soul1 and with all thy mind1 and with all thy strength3 this is the first and great commandment4 ,and the second is like unto it1 ,thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself4 ,on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets4 ,there is none other commandment greater than these4 ,and the scribe said unto him1 ,well ,master1 thou hast said the truth3 for there is one ,god2 and there is none other but he3 and to love him with all the heart1 and with all the understanding1 and with all the soul1 and with all the strength1 and to love his neighbor as himself1 is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices4 ,and when ,jesus saw that he answered discreetly1 he said unto him1 ,thou art not far from the kingdom of ,god4 ,and no man after that durst ask him any question4 ,while the ,pharisees were gathered together1 ,jesus asked them1 saying1 ,what think ye of ,christ8 whose son is he8 ,they say unto him1 ,the ,son of ,david4 ,he saith unto them1 ,how then doth ,david in spirit call him ,lord8 ,and ,jesus answered and said1 while he taught in the temple1 ,how say the scribes that ,christ is the ,son of ,david8 ,for ,david himself saith by the ,holy ,ghost1 in the book of ,psalms1 ,the ,lord said to my ,lord1 ,sit thou on my right hand1 till ,i make thine enemies thy footstool4 ,david therefore himself calleth him ,lord2 and whence is he then his son8 ,and no man was able to answer him a word3 and the common people heard him gladly3 neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions4 ,then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples1 in his doctrine1 ,beware of the scribes1 which love to go in long clothing1 and love salutations in the market places1 and the chief seats in the synagogues1 and the uppermost rooms at feasts3 which devour widows' houses1 and for a pretence make long prayers3 these shall receive greater damnation4 ,and ,jesus sat over against the treasury4 ,and he looked up1 and saw the people casting their gifts into the treasury4 ,and many that were rich cast in much4 ,and there came a certain poor widow1 and she threw in two mites1 which make a farthing4 ,and he called unto him his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that this poor widow hath cast more in1 than all they which have cast into the treasury3 for all they did cast in of their abundance1 unto the offerings of ,god3 but she of her want did cast in all that she had1 even all her living4 ,but though he had done so many miracles before them1 yet they believed not on him3 that the saying of ,esaias the prophet might be fulfilled1 which he spake1 ,lord1 who hath believed our report8 and to whom hath the arm of the ,lord been revealed8 ,therefore they could not believe1 because that ,esaias said again1 ,he hath blinded their eyes1 and hardened their heart2 that they should not see with their eyes1 nor understand with their heart1 and be converted1 and ,i should heal them4 ,these things said ,esaias1 when he saw his glory1 and spake of him4 ,nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him2 but because of the ,pharisees they did not confess him1 lest they should be put out of the synagogue3 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of ,god4 ,jesus cried and said1 ,he that believeth on me1 believeth not on me1 but on him that sent me4 ,and he that seeth me seeth him that sent me4 ,i am come a light into the world1 that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness4 ,and if any man hear my words1 and believe not1 ,i judge him not3 for ,i came not to judge the world1 but to save the world4 ,he that rejecteth me1 and receiveth not my words1 hath one that judgeth him3 the word that ,i have spoken1 the same shall judge him in the last day4 ,for ,i have not spoken of myself2 but the ,father which sent me1 he gave me a commandment1 what ,i should say1 and what ,i should speak4 ,and ,i know that his commandment is life everlasting3 whatsoever ,i speak therefore1 even as the ,father said unto me1 so ,i speak4 ,,chapter ,,lviii4 ,,woes ,,against ,,scribes1 ,,pharisees ,,and ,,hypocrites4 ,then spake ,jesus to the multitude1 and to his disciples1 saying1 ,the scribes and the ,pharisees sit in ,moses' seat3 all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe1 that observe and do2 but do not ye after their works3 for they say1 and do not4 ,for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne1 and lay them on men's shoulders2 but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers4 ,but all their works they do for to be seen of men3 they make broad their phylacteries1 and enlarge the border of their garments1 and love the uppermost rooms at feasts1 and the chief seats in the synagogues1 and greetings in the markets1 and to be called of men1 ,rabbi1 ,rabbi4 ,but be not ye called ,rabbi3 for one is your ,master1 even ,christ2 and all ye are brethren4 ,and call no man your father upon the earth3 for one is your ,father which is in heaven4 ,neither be ye called masters3 for one is your ,master1 even ,christ4 ,but he that is greatest among you shall be your servant4 ,and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased2 and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted4 ,but woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men3 for ye neither go in yourselves1 neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye devour widows' houses1 and for a pretence make long prayer3 therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation4 ,woe unto you scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte1 and when he is made1 ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves4 ,woe unto you1 ye blind guides1 which say1 ,whosoever shall swear by the temple1 it is nothing2 but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple1 he is a debtor6 ,ye fools and blind3 for whether is greater1 the gold1 or the temple that sanctifieth the gold8 ,and1 ,whosoever shall swear by the altar1 it is nothing2 but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it1 he is guilty4 ,ye fools and blind3 for whether is greater1 the gift1 or the altar that sanctifieth the gift8 ,whoso therefore shall swear by the altar1 sweareth by it1 and by all things thereon4 ,and whoso shall swear by the temple1 sweareth by it1 and by him that dwelleth therein4 ,and he that shall swear by heaven1 sweareth by the throne of ,god1 and by him that sitteth thereon4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin1 and have omitted the weightier matters of the law1 judgment1 mercy and faith3 these ought ye to have done1 and not to leave the other undone4 ,ye blind guides1 which strain at a gnat1 and swallow a camel4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter1 but within they are full of extortion and excess4 ,thou blind ,pharisee1 cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter1 that the outside of them may be clean also4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 for ye are like unto whited sepulchres1 which indeed appear beautiful outward1 but are within full of dead men's bones1 and of all uncleanness4 ,even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men1 but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity4 ,woe unto you1 scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6 because ye build the tombs of the prophets1 and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous1 and say1 ,if we had been in the days of our fathers1 we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets4 ,wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves1 that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets4 ,fill ye up then the measure of your fathers4 ,ye serpents1 ye generation of vipers1 how can ye escape the damnation of hell4 ,wherefore1 behold1 ,i send unto you prophets1 and wise men1 and scribes3 and some of them ye shall kill and crucify2 and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues1 and persecute them from city to city3 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth1 from the blood of righteous ,abel unto the blood of ,zacharias son of ,barachias1 whom ye slew between the temple and the altar4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,all these things shall come upon this generation4 ,o ,jerusalem1 ,jerusalem1 thou that killest the prophets1 and stonest them which are sent unto thee1 how often would ,i have gathered thy children together1 even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings1 and ye would not6 ,behold1 your house is left unto you desolate4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,ye shall not see me henceforth1 till ye shall say1 ,blessed is he that cometh in the name of the ,lord4 ,,chapter ,,lix4 ,,destruction ,,of ,,the ,,temple ,,and ,,coming ,,of ,,the ,,son ,,of ,,man ,,foretold4 ,and ,jesus went out1 and departed from the temple1 and as he went out1 his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple4 ,and as some spake of the temple1 how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts1 one of his disciples saith unto him1 ,master1 see what manner of stones and what buildings are here6 ,and ,jesus answering said unto him1 ,seest thou these great buildings8 ,as for these things which ye behold1 the days will come1 in the which1 verily ,i say unto you1 ,there shall not be left here one stone upon another1 that shall not be thrown down4 ,and as he sat upon the mount of ,olives1 over against the temple1 ,peter and ,james and ,john and ,andrew asked him privately1 saying1 ,master1 tell us1 when shall these things be8 and what shall be the sign of thy coming1 and of the end of the world1 when all these things shall be fulfilled8 and ,jesus answered and said unto them1 ,take heed that no man deceive you4 ,for many shall come in my name1 saying1 ,i am ,christ2 and the time draweth near2 and shall deceive many2 go ye not therefore after them4 ,but when ye shall hear of wars1 and rumors of wars1 see that ye be not troubled3 for all these things must first come to pass2 but the end is not yet4 ,then said he unto them1 ,nation shall rise against nation1 and kingdom against kingdom2 and there shall be famines1 and pestilences1 and earthquakes1 in divers places2 and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven4 ,all these are the beginning of sorrows4 ,but take heed to yourselves3 before all these1 they shall lay their hands on you1 and persecute you2 for they shall deliver you up to councils3 and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten3 and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake1 for a testimony against them4 ,and 7they7 shall kill you2 and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake4 ,and the gospel must first be published among all nations4 ,but when they shall lead you1 and deliver you up1 take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak1 neither do ye premeditate3 but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour1 that speak ye3 for it is not ye that speak1 but the ,holy ,ghost4 ,for ,i will give you a mouth and wisdom1 which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist4 ,and then shall many be offended1 and shall betray one another1 and shall hate one another4 ,and ye shall be betrayed both by parents1 and brethren1 and kinsfolks1 and friends2 the brother shall betray the brother to death1 and the father the son2 and children shall rise up against their parents1 and shall cause them to be put to death4 ,and some of you shall they cause to be put to death4 ,and ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake4 ,but there shall not an hair of your head perish4 ,in your patience possess ye your souls4 ,and many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many4 ,and because iniquity shall abound1 the love of many shall wax cold4 ,but he that shall endure unto the end1 the same shall be saved4 ,and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations2 and then shall the end come4 ,when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation1 spoken of by ,daniel the prophet1 stand in the holy place1 7whoso readeth let him understand37 and when ye shall see ,jerusalem compassed with armies1 then know that the desolation thereof is nigh4 ,then let them which are in ,judea flee to the mountains3 and let them which are in the midst of it depart out2 and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto4 ,and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house1 neither enter therein1 to take anything out of his house and let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment4 ,for these be the days of vengeance1 that all things which are written may be fulfilled4 ,but woe unto them that are with child1 and to them that give suck in those days6 ,but pray ye that your flight be not in the winter1 neither on the sabbath day3 for then shall be great tribulation1 such as was not since the beginning of the world which ,god created unto this time1 neither shall be4 ,and except that the ,lord had shortened those days1 no flesh should be saved3 but for the elect's sake1 whom he hath chosen1 he hath shortened the days4 ,for there shall be great distress in the land1 and wrath upon this people4 ,and they shall fall by the edge of the sword1 and shall be led away captive into all nations3 and ,jerusalem shall be trodden down of the ,gentiles1 until the times of the ,gentiles be fulfilled4 ,and then if any man shall say to you1 ,lo1 here is ,christ2 or1 lo1 he is there2 believe him not3 for false ,christs and false prophets shall rise1 and shall shew signs and wonders to seduce1 if it were possible1 even the elect4 ,but take ye heed3 behold1 ,i have foretold you all things4 ,wherefore if they shall say unto you1 ,behold1 he is in the desert2 go not forth3 behold1 he is in the secret chambers2 believe it not4 ,for as the lightning cometh out of the east1 and shineth even unto the west2 so shall also the coming of the ,son of man be4 ,for wheresoever the carcase is1 there will the eagles be gathered together4 ,,chapter ,,lx4 ,,fearful ,,signs ,,after ,,the ,,great ,,tribulation--,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,ten ,,virgins4 ,immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened1 and the moon shall not give her light1 and the stars shall fall from heaven1 and upon the earth distress of nations1 with perplexity2 the sea and the waves roaring3 men's hearts failing them for fear1 and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth3 for the powers of heaven shall be shaken4 ,and then shall appear the sign of the ,son of man in heaven3 and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn1 and they shall see the ,son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory4 ,and he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet1 and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds1 from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven4 ,and when these things begin to come to pass1 then look up1 and lift up your heads2 for your redemption draweth nigh4 ,and he spake to them a parable2 ,now learn a parable of the fig tree2 behold the fig tree and all the trees3 when his branch is yet tender1 and putteth forth leaves1 ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand4 ,so likewise ye when ye see these things come to pass1 know ye that the kingdom of ,god is nigh at hand1 even at the doors4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,this generation shall not pass away1 till all these things be fulfilled4 ,heaven and earth shall pass away1 but my words shall not pass away4 ,and take heed to yourselves1 lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness1 and cares of this life1 and so that day come upon you unawares4 ,for as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth4 ,watch ye therefore1 and pray always1 that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass1 and to stand before the ,son of man4 ,but of that day and that hour knoweth no man1 no1 not the angels which are in heaven1 neither the ,son1 but my ,father only4 ,take ye heed1 watch and pray3 for ye know not when the time is4 ,but as the days of ,noe were1 so shall also the coming of the ,son of man be4 ,for as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking1 marrying and giving in marriage1 until the day that ,noe entered into the ark1 and knew not until the flood came1 and took them all away2 so shall also the coming of the ,son of man be4 ,then shall two be in the field2 the one shall be taken1 and the other left4 ,two women shall be grinding at the mill2 the one shall be taken1 and the other left4 ,watch therefore3 for ye know not what hour your ,lord doth come4 ,for the ,son of man is as a man taking a far journey1 who left his house1 and gave authority to his servants1 and to every man his work1 and commanded the porter to watch4 ,watch ye therefore3 for ye know not when the master of the house cometh1 at even1 or at midnight1 or at the cock-crowing1 or in the morning3 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping4 ,but know this1 that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come1 he would have watched1 and would not have suffered his house to be broken up4 ,therefore be ye also ready3 for in such an hour as ye think not the ,son of man cometh4 ,and what ,i say unto you ,i say unto all1 ,watch4 ,who then is a faithful and wise servant1 whom his lord hath made ruler over his household1 to give them meat in due season8 ,blessed is that servant1 whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,that he shall make him ruler over all his goods4 ,but and if that evil servant shall say in his heart1 ,my lord delayeth his coming2 and shall begin to smite his fellow servants1 and to eat and drink with the drunken2 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him1 and in an hour that he is not aware of1 and shall cut him asunder1 and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites3 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth4 ,then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins1 which took their lamps1 and went forth to meet the bridegroom4 ,and five of them were wise1 and five were foolish4 ,they that were foolish took their lamps1 and took no oil with them4 ,but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps4 ,while the bridegroom tarried they all slumbered and slept4 ,and at midnight there was a cry made1 ,behold1 the bridegroom cometh2 go ye out to meet him4 ,then all those virgins arose1 and trimmed their lamps4 ,and the foolish said unto the wise1 ,give us of your oil2 for our lamps are gone out4 ,but the wise answered1 saying1 ,not so2 lest there be not enough for us and you2 but go ye rather to them that sell1 and buy for yourselves4 ,and while they went to buy1 the bridegroom came2 and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage3 and the door was shut4 ,afterward came also the other virgins1 saying1 ,lord1 ,lord1 open to us4 ,but he answered and said1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,i know you not4 ,watch1 therefore1 for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the ,son of man cometh4 ,,chapter ,,lxi4 ,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,talents--,,judgment ,,of ,,the ,,nations4 ,for the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country1 who called his own servants1 and delivered unto them his goods4 ,and unto one he gave five talents1 to another1 two1 and to another1 one2 to every man according to his several ability2 and straightway took his journey4 ,then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same1 and made them other five talents4 ,and likewise he that had received two1 he also gained other two4 ,but he that had received one went and digged in the earth1 and hid his lord's money4 ,after a long time the lord of those servants cometh1 and reckoneth with them4 ,and so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents1 saying1 ,lord1 thou deliveredst unto me five talents3 behold1 ,i have gained beside them five talents more4 ,his lord said unto him1 ,well done1 thou good and faithful servant3 thou hast been faithful over a few things1 ,i will make thee ruler over many things3 enter thou into the joy of thy lord4 ,he that had received two talents came and said1 ,lord1 thou deliveredst unto me two talents3 behold1 ,i have gained two other talents besides them4 ,his lord said unto him1 ,well done1 good and faithful servant3 thou hast been faithful over a few things1 ,i will make thee ruler over many things3 enter thou into the joy of thy lord4 ,then he which had received the one talent came and said1 ,lord1 ,i knew thee that thou art an hard man1 reaping where thou hast not sown1 and gathering where thou hast not strewed3 and ,i was afraid1 and went and hid thy talent in the earth3 lo1 there thou hast that is thine4 ,his lord answered and said unto him1 ,thou wicked and slothful servant1 thou knewest that ,i reap where ,i sowed not1 and gather where ,i have not strewed3 ,thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers1 and then at my coming ,i should have received mine own with usury4 ,take therefore the talent from him1 and give it unto him which hath ten talents4 ,for unto every one that hath shall be given1 and he shall have abundance3 but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath4 ,and cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness3 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth4 ,when the ,son of man shall come in his glory1 and all the holy angels with him1 then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory3 and before him shall be gathered all nations3 and he shall separate them one from another1 as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats3 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand1 but the goats on the left4 ,then shall the ,king say unto them on his right hand1 ,come ye blessed of my ,father1 inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world3 for ,i was an hungered1 and ye gave me meat3 ,i was thirsty1 and ye gave me drink3 ,i was a stranger1 and ye took me in3 naked1 and ye clothed me3 ,i was sick1 and ye visited me3 ,i was in prison1 and ye came unto me4 ,then shall the righteous answer him1 saying1 ,lord1 when saw we thee an hungered1 and fed thee8 or thirsty1 and gave thee drink8 ,when saw we thee a stranger1 and took thee in8 or1 naked1 and clothed thee8 ,or when saw we thee sick1 or in prison1 and came unto thee8 ,and the ,king shall answer and say unto them1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren1 ye have done it unto me4 ,then shall he say also unto them on the left hand1 ,depart from me1 ye cursed1 into everlasting fire1 prepared for the devil and his angels3 for ,i was an hungered1 and ye gave me no meat3 ,i was thirsty1 and ye gave me no drink3 ,i was a stranger1 and ye took me not in3 naked1 and ye clothed me not2 sick1 and in prison1 and ye visited me not4 ,then shall they also answer him1 saying1 ,lord1 when saw we thee an hungered1 or athirst1 or a stranger1 or naked1 or sick1 or in prison1 and did not minister unto thee8 ,then shall he answer them1 saying1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these1 ye did it not to me4 ,and these shall go away into everlasting punishment3 but the righteous into life eternal4 ,and it came to pass1 when ,jesus had finished all these sayings1 he said unto his disciples1 ,ye know that after two days is the feast of the ,passover1 and of unleavened bread3 and the ,son of man is betrayed to be crucified4 ,,chapter ,,lxii4 ,,covenant ,,with ,,judas--,,jesus ,,washes ,,his ,,disciples' ,,feet4 ,then assembled together the chief priests1 and the scribes1 and the elders of the people1 unto the palace of the high priest1 who was called ,caiaphas1 and consulted that they might take ,jesus by subtilty1 and kill him4 ,but they said1 ,not on the feast day1 lest there be an uproar among the people3 for they feared the people4 ,then entered ,satan into ,judas surnamed ,iscariot1 being of the number of the twelve4 ,and he went his way1 and communed with the chief priests and captains1 how he might betray him unto them1 and said unto them1 ,what will ye give me1 and ,i will deliver him unto you8 ,and when they heard it1 they were glad1 and promised to give him money4 ,and they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver4 ,and from that time he sought opportunity how he might conveniently betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude4 ,and in the day time he was teaching in the temple2 and at night he went out1 and abode in the mount that is called the mount of ,olives4 ,and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple for to hear him4 ,then came the first day of the feast of unleavened bread1 when the passover must be killed2 and he sent ,peter and ,john1 saying1 ,go and prepare us the passover1 that we may eat4 ,and they said unto him1 ,where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover8 ,and he said unto them1 ,go ye into the city1 and behold1 when ye are entered into the city1 there shall a man meet you1 bearing a pitcher of water1 follow him into the house where he entereth in4 ,and wheresoever he shall go in1 say ye to the goodman of the house1 ,the ,master saith my time is at hand2 ,i will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples4 ,where is the guest-chamber1 where ,i shall eat the passover with my disciples8 ,and he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared3 there make ready for us4 ,and his disciples went forth1 and came into the city1 and found as he had said unto them3 and the disciples did as ,jesus had appointed them2 and they made ready the passover4 ,and in the evening1 when the hour was come1 he sat down1 and the twelve apostles with him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,with desire ,i have desired to eat this passover with you before ,i suffer3 for ,i say unto you1 ,i will not any more eat thereof1 until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of ,god4 ,and he took the cup and gave thanks1 and said1 ,take this1 and divide it1 among yourselves3 for ,i say unto you1 ,i will not drink of the fruit of the vine1 until the kingdom of ,god shall come4 ,now before the feast of the passover1 when ,jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the ,father1 having loved his own which were in the world1 he loved them unto the end4 ,and supper being ended1 the devil having now put into the heart of ,judas ,iscariot1 ,simon's son1 to betray him2 ,jesus knowing that the ,father had given all things into his hands1 and that he was come from ,god1 and went to ,god2 he riseth from supper1 and laid aside his garments1 and took a towel1 and girded himself4 ,after that he poureth water into a basin1 and began to wash the disciples' feet1 and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded4 ,then cometh he to ,simon ,peter3 and ,peter saith unto him1 ,lord1 dost thou wash my feet8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,what ,i do thou knowest not now2 but thou shalt know hereafter4 ,peter saith unto him1 ,thou shalt never wash my feet4 ,jesus answered him4 ,if ,i wash thee not1 thou hast no part with me4 ,simon ,peter saith unto him1 ,lord1 not my feet only1 but also my hands and my head4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,he that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet1 but is clean every whit3 and ye are clean1 but not all4 ,for he knew who should betray him2 therefore said he1 ,ye are not all clean4 ,so after he had washed their feet1 and had taken his garments1 and was set down again1 he said unto them1 ,know ye what ,i have done to you8 ,ye call me ,master and ,lord3 and ye say well2 for so ,i am4 ,if ,i then1 your ,lord and ,master1 have washed your feet2 ye also ought to wash one another's feet4 ,for ,i have given you an example1 that ye should do as ,i have done to you4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the servant is not greater than his lord3 neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him4 ,if ye know these things1 happy are ye if ye do them4 ,,chapter ,,lxiii4 ,,the ,,lord',s ,,supper ,,instituted--,,peter ,,forewarned4 ,and as they were eating1 the ,lord ,jesus the same night in which he was betrayed1 took bread1 and gave thanks1 and blessed it1 and brake it1 and gave it to the disciples1 and said1 ,take1 eat2 this is my body1 which is broken for you3 this do in remembrance of me4 ,but1 behold1 the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table4 ,and truly the ,son of man goeth1 as it was determined3 but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed6 ,i speak not of you all3 ,i know whom ,i have chosen2 but that the ,scripture may be fulfilled1 ,he that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me4 ,now ,i tell you before it come1 that1 when it is come to pass1 ye may believe that ,i am he4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that receiveth whomsoever ,i send receiveth me3 and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me4 ,and as they sat and did eat1 when ,jesus had thus said1 he was troubled in spirit1 and testified1 and said1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 that one of you which eateth with me shall betray me4 ,then the disciples looked one on another1 doubting of whom he spake4 ,and they began to inquire among themselves1 which of them it was that should do this thing4 ,and they were exceeding sorrowful1 and began every one of them to say unto him1 one by one1 ,lord1 is it ,i8 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,it is one of the twelve1 that dippeth with me in the dish3 the same shall betray me4 ,the son of man goeth as it is written of him1 but woe unto that man by whom the son of man is betrayed6 it had been good for that man if he had not been born4 ,now there was leaning on ,jesus' bosom one of his disciples1 whom ,jesus loved4 ,simon ,peter therefore beckoned to him1 that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake4 ,he then lying on ,jesus' breast saith unto him1 ,lord1 who is it8 ,jesus answered1 ,he it is1 to whom ,i shall give a sop1 when ,i have dipped it4 ,and when he had dipped the sop1 he gave it to ,judas ,iscariot1 the son of ,simon4 ,and after the sop ,satan entered into him4 ,then said ,jesus unto him1 ,that thou doest1 do quickly4 ,now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him4 ,for some of them thought1 because ,judas had the bag1 that ,jesus had said unto him1 ,buy those things that we have need of against the feast2 or1 that he should give something to the poor4 ,then ,judas1 which betrayed him1 answered and said1 ,master1 is it ,i8 ,he said unto him1 ,thou hast said4 ,he then having received the sop went immediately out3 and it was night4 ,therefore1 when he was gone out1 ,jesus said1 ,now is the son of man glorified1 and ,god is glorified in him4 ,if ,god be glorified in him1 ,god shall also glorify him in himself1 and shall straightway glorify him4 ,little children1 yet a little while ,i am with you4 ,ye shall seek me3 and as ,i said unto the ,jews1 ,whither ,i go1 ye cannot come2 so now ,i say to you4 ,a new commandment ,i give unto you1 ,that ye love one another2 as ,i have loved you1 that ye also love one another4 ,by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples1 if ye have love one to another4 ,simon ,peter said unto him1 ,lord1 whither goest thou8 ,jesus answered him1 ,whither ,i go1 thou canst not follow me now3 but thou shalt follow me afterwards4 ,peter said unto him1 ,lord1 why cannot ,i follow thee now8 ,i will lay down my life for thy sake4 ,jesus answered him1 ,wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake8 ,verily1 verily ,i say unto thee1 ,the cock shall not crow1 till thou hast denied me thrice4 ,and there was also a strife among them1 which of them should be accounted the greatest4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the kings of the ,gentiles exercise lordship over them2 and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors4 ,but ye shall not be so3 but he that is greatest among you1 let him be as the younger2 and he that is chief1 as he that doth serve4 ,for whether is greater1 he that sitteth at meat1 or he that serveth8 is not he that sitteth at meat8 but ,i am among you as he that serveth4 ,ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations4 ,and ,i appoint unto you a kingdom1 as my father hath appointed unto me2 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom1 and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of ,israel4 ,,chapter ,,lxiv4 ,,jesus ,,comforts ,,his ,,disciples--,,teaches ,,love ,,to ,,each ,,other4 ,and the ,lord said1 ,simon1 ,simon1 behold1 ,satan hath desired to have you1 that he may sift you as wheat3 but ,i have prayed for thee1 that thy faith fail not3 and when thou art converted1 strengthen thy brethren4 ,and he said unto him1 ,lord1 ,i am ready to go with thee1 both into prison1 and to death4 ,and he said1 ,i tell thee1 ,peter1 the cock shall not crow this day1 before thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me4 ,and he said unto them1 ,when ,i sent you without purse1 and scrip1 and shoes1 lacked ye anything8 ,and they said1 ,nothing4 ,then said he unto them1 ,but now1 he that hath a purse1 let him take it1 and likewise his scrip2 and he that hath no sword1 let him sell his garment1 and buy one4 ,for ,i say unto you1 that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me4 ,and he was reckoned among the transgressors3 for the things concerning me have an end4 ,and they said1 ,lord1 behold1 here are two swords4 ,and he said unto them1 ,it is enough4 ,after the same manner also he took the cup1 when he had supped1 and when he had given thanks1 he gave it to them1 saying1 ,drink ye all of it4 ,and they all drank of it4 ,and he said unto them ,this cup is the new testament in my blood1 which is shed for many for the remission of sins3 this do ye1 as oft as ye drink it1 in remembrance of me4 ,but ,i say unto you1 ,i will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine1 until that day when ,i drink it new with you in my ,father's kingdom4 ,let not your heart be troubled3 ye believe in ,god1 believe also in me4 ,in my ,father's house are many mansions3 if it were not so1 ,i would have told you4 ,i go to prepare a place for you4 ,and if ,i go and prepare a place for you1 ,i will come again1 and receive you unto myself2 that where ,i am1 there ye may be also4 ,and whither ,i go ye know1 and the way ye know4 ,thomas saith unto him1 ,lord1 we know not whither thou goest2 and how can we know the way4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,i am the way1 the truth1 and the life3 no man cometh unto the ,father1 but by me4 ,if ye had known me1 ye should have known my ,father also3 and from henceforth ye know him1 and have seen him4 ,philip saith unto him1 ,lord1 shew us the ,father1 and it sufficeth us4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,have ,i been so long time with you1 and yet hast thou not known me1 ,philip8 he that hath seen me hath seen the ,father2 and how sayest thou then1 ,shew us the ,father8 ,believest thou not that ,i am in the ,father1 and the ,father in me8 the words that ,i speak unto you1 ,i speak not of myself3 but the ,father that dwelleth in me1 he doeth the works4 ,believe me that ,i am in the ,father1 and the ,father in me3 or else believe me for the very work's sake4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that believeth on me1 the works that ,i do shall he do also2 and greater works than these shall he do2 because ,i go unto my ,father4 ,and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name1 that will ,i do1 that the ,father may be glorified in the ,son4 ,if ye shall ask anything in my name1 ,i will do it4 ,if ye love me keep my commandments4 ,and ,i will pray the ,father1 and he shall give you another ,comforter1 that he may abide with you for ever2 ,even the ,spirit of truth2 whom the world cannot receive1 because it seeth him not1 neither knoweth him3 but ye know him2 for he dwelleth with you1 and shall be in you4 ,i will not leave you

him4 ,judas saith unto him1 not ,iscariot1 ,lord1 how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us1 and not unto the world8 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,if a man love me1 he will keep my words3 and my ,father will love him1 and we will come unto him1 and make our abode with him4 ,he that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings3 and the word which ye hear is not mine1 but the ,father's

the vine2 no more can ye1 except ye abide in me4 ,i am the vine1 ye are the branches2 he that abideth in me1 and ,i in him1 the same bringeth forth much fruit2 for without me ye can do nothing4 ,if a man abide not in me1 he is cast forth as a branch1 and is withered2 and men gather them1 and cast them into the fire1 and they are burned4 ,if ye abide in me1 and my words abide in you1 ye shall ask what ye will1 and it shall be done unto you4 ,herein is my ,father glorified1 that ye bear much fruit2 so shall ye be my disciples4 ,as the ,father hath loved me1 so have ,i loved you3 continue ye in my love4 ,if ye keep my commandments1 ye shall abide in my love2 even as ,i have kept my ,father's commandments and abide in his love4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that my joy might remain in you1 and that your joy might be full4 ,this is my commandment1 that ye love one another1 as ,i have loved you4 ,greater love hath no man than this1 that a man lay down his life for his friends4 ,ye are my friends1 if ye do whatsoever ,i command you4 ,henceforth ,i call you not servants2 for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth2 but ,i have called you friends2 for all things that ,i have heard of my ,father ,i have made known unto you4 ,ye have not chosen me1 but ,i have chosen you1 and ordained you1 that ye should go and bring forth fruit1 and that your fruit should remain3 that whatsoever ye shall ask of the ,father in my name1 he may give it you4 ,these things ,i command you1 that ye love one another4 ,if the world hate you1 ye know that it hated me before it hated you4 ,if ye were of the world1 the world would love his own3 but because ye are not of the world but ,i have chosen you out of the world1 therefore the world hateth you4 ,remember the word that ,i said unto you1 ,the servant is not greater than his lord4 ,if they have persecuted me1 they will also persecute you2 if they have kept my saying1 they will keep yours also4 ,but all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake1 because they know not him that sent me4 ,if ,i had not come and spoken unto them1 they had not had sin3 but now they have no cloak for their sin4 ,he that hateth me hateth my ,father also4 ,if ,i had not done among them the works which none other man did1 they had not had sin3 but now have they both seen and hated both me and my ,father4 ,but this cometh to pass1 that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law4 ,they hated me without a cause4 ,but when the ,comforter is come1 whom ,i will send unto you from the ,father1 even the ,spirit of truth1 which proceedeth from the ,father1 he shall testify of me3 and ye also shall bear witness1 because ye have been with me from the beginning4 ,,chapter ,,lxvi4 ,,jesus ,,forewarns ,,his ,,disciples4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you1 that ye should not be offended4 ,they shall put you out of the synagogues3 yea1 the time cometh1 that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth ,god service4 ,and these things will they do unto you1 because they have not known the ,father1 nor me4 ,but these things have ,i told you1 that when the time shall come1 ye may remember that ,i told you of them4 ,and these things ,i said not unto you at the beginning1 because ,i was with you4 ,but now ,i go my way to him that sent me2 and none of you asketh me1 ,whither goest thou8 ,but because ,i have said these things unto you1 sorrow hath filled your heart4 ,nevertheless ,i tell you the truth2 ,it is expedient for you that ,i go away3 for if ,i go not away1 the ,comforter will not come unto you2 but if ,i depart1 ,i will send him unto you4 ,and when he is come1 he will reprove the world of sin1 and of righteousness1 and of judgment3 of sin1 because they believed not on me2 of righteousness1 because ,i go to my ,father1 and ye see me no more2 of judgment1 because the prince of this world is judged4 ,i have yet many things to say unto you1 but ye cannot bear them now4 ,howbeit when he1 the spirit of truth1 is come1 he will guide you into all truth3 for he shall not speak of himself2 but whatsoever he shall hear1 that shall he speak3 and he will shew you things to come4 ,he shall glorify me3 for he shall receive of mine1 and shall shew it unto you4 ,all things that the ,father hath are mine3 therefore said ,i1 that he shall take of mine1 and shall shew it unto you4 ,a little while1 and ye shall not see me3 and again1 a little while1 and ye shall see me1 because ,i go to the ,father4 ,then said some of his disciples among themselves1 ,what is this that he saith unto us1 ,a little while1 and ye shall not see me3 and again1 a little while1 and ye shall see me2 and1 ,because ,i go to the ,father8 ,they said therefore1 ,what is this that he saith1 ,a little while8 ,we cannot tell what he saith4 ,now ,jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him1 and said unto them1 ,do ye inquire among yourselves of that ,i said1 ,a little while1 and ye shall not see me3 and again1 a little while1 and ye shall see me8 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,that ye shall weep and lament1 but the world shall rejoice3 and ye shall be sorrowful1 but your sorrow shall be turned into joy4 ,a woman when she is in travail hath sorrow1 because her hour is come3 but as soon as she is delivered of the child1 she remembereth no more the anguish1 for joy that a man is born into the world4 ,and ye now therefore have sorrow3 but ,i will see you again1 and your heart shall rejoice1 and your joy no man taketh from you4 ,and in that day ye shall ask me nothing4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,whatsoever ye shall ask the ,father in my name1 he will give it you4 ,hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name3 ask1 and ye shall receive1 that your joy may be full4 ,these things have ,i spoken unto you in proverbs2 but the time cometh1 when ,i shall no more speak unto you in proverbs1 but ,i shall shew you plainly of the ,father4 ,at that day ye shall ask in my name3 and ,i say not unto you1 that ,i will pray the ,father for you3 for the ,father himself loveth you1 because ye have loved me1 and have believed that ,i came out from ,god4 ,i came forth from the ,father1 and am come into the world3 again1 ,i leave the world1 and go to the ,father4 ,his disciples saith unto him1 ,lo1 now speakest thou plainly1 and speakest no proverb4 ,now are we sure that thou knowest all things1 and needest not that any man should ask thee3 by this we believe that thou camest forth from ,god4 ,jesus answered them1 ,do ye now believe8 ,behold1 the hour cometh1 yea1 is now come1 that ye shall be scattered1 every man to his own1 and shall leave me alone3 and yet ,i am not alone1 because the ,father is with me4 ,these things ,i have spoken unto you1 that in me ye might have peace4 ,in the world ye shall have tribulation3 but be of good cheer2 ,i have overcome the world4 ,,chapter ,,lxvii4 ,,jesus ,,prays ,,for ,,his ,,disciples--,,foretells ,,peter',s

all flesh1 that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him4 ,and this is life eternal1 that they might know thee1 the only true ,god1 and ,jesus ,christ whom thou hast sent4 ,i have glorified thee on the earth3 ,i have finished the work which thou gavest me to do4 ,and now1 ,o ,father1 glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which ,i had with thee before the world was4

,i was with them in the world1 ,i kept them in thy name3 those that thou gavest me ,i have kept1 and none of them is lost1 but the son of perdition2 that the ,scripture might be fulfilled4 ,and now come ,i to thee2 and these things ,i speak in the world1 that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves4 ,i have given them my word2 and the world hath hated them1 because they are not of the world1 even as ,i am not of the world4 ,i pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world1 but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil4 ,they are not of the world1 even as ,i am not of the world4 ,sanctify them through thy truth3 thy word is truth4 ,as thou hast sent me into the world1 even so have ,i also sent them into the world4 ,and for their sakes ,i sanctify myself1 that they also might be sanctified through the truth4 ,neither pray ,i for these alone1 but for them also which shall believe on me through their word2 that they all may be one2 as thou1 ,father1 art in me1 and ,i in thee1 that they also may be one in us3 that the world may believe that thou hast sent me4 ,and the glory which thou gavest me ,i have given them3 that they may be one1 even as we are one2 ,i in them1 and thou in me1 that they may be made perfect in one2 and that the world may know that thou hast sent me1 and hast loved them1 as thou hast loved me4 ,father1 ,i will that they also1 whom thou

also followed him1 over the brook ,cedron4 ,then saith ,jesus unto them1 ,all ye shall be offended because of me this night3 for it is written1 ,i will smite the shepherd1 and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad4 ,but after ,i am risen again1 ,i will go before you into ,galilee4 ,peter answered and said unto him1 ,though all men shall be offended because of thee1 yet will ,i never be offended4 ,and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,verily ,i say unto thee1 ,that this day1 even in this night1 before the cock crow twice1 thou shalt deny me thrice4 ,but he spake the more vehemently1 ,if ,i should die with thee1 ,i will not deny thee in any wise4 ,likewise also said all the disciples4 ,,chapter ,,lxviii4 ,,the ,,agony ,,of ,,jesus ,,in ,,the ,,garden ,,of ,,gethsemane4 ,then cometh ,jesus with them unto a place called ,gethsemane1 where was a garden1 into the which he entered and his disciples4 ,and when he was at the place1 he said unto them1 ,pray that ye enter not into temptation4 ,sit ye here1 while ,i go and pray yonder4 ,and he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast4 ,and he took with him ,peter and the two sons of ,zebedee1 ,james and ,john1 and began to be sorrowful and very heavy4 ,then saith he unto them1 ,my soul is exceeding sorrowful1 even unto death3 tarry ye here1 and watch with me4 ,and he went a little farther1 and kneeled down1 and fell on his face on the ground1 and prayed that1 if it were possible1 the hour might pass from him4 ,and he said1 ,abba1 ,father1 all things are possible unto thee3 ,o my ,father1 if it be possible1 if thou be willing1 remove this cup from me3 nevertheless not my will1 but thine1 be done4 ,and there appeared an angel unto him from heaven1 strengthening him4 ,and being in an agony he prayed more earnestly3 and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground4 ,and he cometh unto the disciples1 and findeth them asleep1 and saith unto ,peter1 ,simon1 sleepest thou8 ,what1 could ye not watch with me one hour8 ,watch and pray1 that ye enter not into temptation3 the spirit indeed is willing1 but the flesh is weak4 ,he went away the second time1 and prayed1 and spake the same words3 saying1 ,o my ,father1 if this cup may not pass away from me1 except ,i drink it1 thy will be done4 ,and when he returned1 he found them asleep again1 7for their eyes were heavy17 neither wist they what to answer him4 ,and he left them1 and went away again1 and prayed the third time1 saying the same words4 ,and he cometh the third time to his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,sleep on now1 and take your rest3 it is enough3 behold1 the hour is at hand1 and the ,son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners4 ,rise1 let us be going3 behold1 he is at hand that doth betray me4 ,and when he rose up from prayer and was come to his disciples1 he found them sleeping for sorrow1 and said unto them1 ,why sleep ye8 rise and pray1 lest ye enter into temptation4 ,and ,judas also1 which betrayed him1 knew the place3 for ,jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples4 ,judas then1 having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and ,pharisees1 cometh thither with lanterns1 and torches and weapons4 ,and immediately1 while he yet spake1 cometh ,judas1 one of the twelve1 and with him a great multitude with swords and staves1 from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people4 ,jesus therefore1 knowing all things that should come upon him1 went forth1 and said unto them1 ,whom seek ye8 ,they answered him1 ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,i am he4 ,and ,judas also1 which betrayed him1 stood with them4 ,as soon then as he had said unto them1 ,i am he1 they went backward1 and fell to the ground4 ,then asked he them again1 ,whom seek ye8 ,and they said1 ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,jesus answered1 ,i have told you that ,i am he3 if therefore ye seek me1 let these go their way4 ,that the saying might be fulfilled1 which he spake4 ,of them which thou gavest me have ,i lost none4 ,,chapter ,,lxix4 ,,betrayal ,,of ,,jesus--,,brought ,,before ,,the ,,high ,,priest4 ,now he that betrayed him gave them a sign1 saying1 ,whomsoever ,i shall kiss1 that same is he3 hold him fast1 and lead him away safely4 ,and as soon as he was come1 he goeth straightway and drew near unto ,jesus to kiss him3 and saith1 ,hail1 ,master1 ,master2 and kissed him4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,friend1 wherefore art thou come8 ,betrayest thou the ,son of man with a kiss8 ,then came they1 and laid hands on ,jesus1 and took him4 ,when they1 which were about him saw what would follow1 they said unto him1 ,lord1 shall we smite with the sword8 ,and one of them that stood by 7,simon ,peter7 with ,jesus stretched out his hand1 and drew his sword1 and struck a servant of the high priest's1 and cut off his right ear4 ,the servant's name was ,malchus4 ,and ,jesus answered and said1 ,suffer ye thus far4 ,and he touched his ear and healed him4 ,then said ,jesus unto ,peter1 ,put up thy sword into the sheath3 for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword3 the cup which my ,father hath given me1 shall ,i not drink it8 ,thinkest thou that ,i cannot now pray to my ,father1 and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels8 ,but how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled1 that thus it must be8 ,in that same hour1 ,jesus said unto the chief priests and captains of the temple1 and the elders1 which were come to him1 ,be ye come out1 as against a thief1 with swords and staves for to take me8 ,when ,i was daily with you in the temple1 ye stretched forth no hands against me3 but this is your hour1 and the power of darkness4 ,but all this was done1 that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled4 ,then all the disciples forsook him1 and fled4 ,and there followed him a certain young man1 having a linen cloth cast about his naked body2 and the young men laid hold on him3 and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked4 ,then the band and the captain and officers of the ,jews took ,jesus and bound him1 and led him away to ,annas first2 for he was father-in-law to ,caiaphas1 which was the high priest that same year4 ,now ,caiaphas was he1 which gave counsel to the ,jews1 that it was expedient that one man should die for the people4 ,and they that had laid hold on ,jesus led him away to ,caiaphas the high priest1 and brought him into the high priest's house4 ,and ,simon ,peter followed ,jesus1 and so did another disciple3 that disciple was known unto the high priest1 and went in with ,jesus into the palace of the high priest4 ,but ,peter stood at the door without4 ,then went out that other disciple1 which was known unto the high priest1 and spake unto her that kept the door1 and brought in ,peter4 ,the high priest then asked ,jesus of his disciples1 and of his doctrine4 ,jesus answered him1 ,i spake openly to the world2 ,i ever taught in the synagogue1 and in the temple1 whither the ,jews always resort3 and in secret have ,i said nothing4 ,why askest thou me8 ask them which heard me1 what ,i have said unto them3 behold1 they know what ,i said4 ,and when he had thus spoken1 one of the officers which stood by struck ,jesus with the palm of his hand1 saying1 ,answerest thou the high priest so8 ,jesus answered him1 ,if ,i have spoken evil1 bear witness of the evil3 but if well1 why smitest thou me8 ,now ,annas had sent him bound unto ,caiaphas the high priest4 ,and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes4 ,and ,peter followed him afar off1 even into the palace of the high priest4 ,and when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall1 and were set down together1 ,peter sat down among the servants1 and warmed himself at the fire1 to see the end4 ,,chapter ,,lxx4 ,,jesus ,,examined ,,by ,,the ,,sanhedrim--,,peter ,,denies ,,him4 ,now the chief priests1 and elders1 and all the council1 sought false witness against ,jesus1 to put him to death2 but found none3 yea1 though many false witnesses came1 yet found they none3 their witness agreed not together4 ,at the last came two false witnesses1 and bare false witness against him1 saying1 ,we heard him say1 ,i am able to destroy the temple of ,god1 that is made with hands1 and within three days ,i will build another made without hands4 ,but neither so did their witness agree together4 ,and the high priest stood up in the midst1 and asked ,jesus1 saying1 ,answerest thou nothing8 what is it which these witness against thee8 ,but he held his peace1 and answered nothing4 ,again the high priest asked him1 and said unto him1 ,i adjure thee by the living ,god1 that thou tell us whether thou be the ,christ1 the ,son of ,god1 the ,son of the ,blessed8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,thou hast said3 nevertheless say ,i unto you1 ,hereafter shall ye see the ,son of man sitting on the right hand of power1 and coming in the clouds of heaven4 ,then the high priest rent his clothes1 saying1 ,he hath spoken blasphemy2 what further need have we of witnesses8 behold1 now ye have heard his blasphemy4 ,what think ye8 ,and they all condemned him to be guilty of death4 ,and the men that held ,jesus mocked him1 and smote him4 ,and some began to spit on him1 and to cover his face1 and to buffet him4 ,and when they had blindfolded him1 they struck him on the face1 and others smote him with the palms of their hands1 saying1 ,prophesy unto us1 thou ,christ1 ,who is he that smote thee8 ,and many other things blasphemously spake they against him4 ,and as ,peter was beneath in the palace1 there cometh one of the maids of the high priest3 7the damsel that kept the door27 and when she saw ,peter1 as he sat by the fire1 warming himself1 she looked upon him1 and said1 ,and thou also wast with ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,art thou not also one of this man's disciples8 ,but he denied before them all1 saying1 ,woman1 ,i know him not1 neither understand ,i what thou sayest4 ,and he went out into the porch2 and the cock crew4 ,and the servants and officers stood there1 who had made a fire of coals3 for it was cold3 and they warmed themselves3 and ,peter stood with them1 and warmed himself4 ,and after a little while1 when he was gone out into the porch1 another maid saw him1 and said unto them that were there1 ,this is one of them1 this fellow was also with ,jesus of ,nazareth4 ,they said therefore unto him1 ,art not thou also one of his disciples8 ,and again he denied with an oath1 ,i do not know the man4 ,and about the space of an hour after1 they that stood by said again to ,peter1 ,surely1 thou art one of them3 for thou art a ,galileean1 and thy speech agreeth thereto4 ,one of the servants of the high priest1 being his kinsman whose ear ,peter cut off1 saith1 ,did not ,i see thee in the garden with him8 ,but he began to curse and to swear1 saying1 ,i know not this man of whom ye speak4 ,and immediately the second time1 while he yet spake1 the cock crew4 ,and the ,lord turned1 and looked upon ,peter4 ,and ,peter remembered the word of the ,lord1 how he had said unto him1 ,before the cock crow twice1 thou shalt deny me thrice4 ,and when he thought thereon1 he went out1 and wept bitterly4 ,,chapter ,,lxxi4 ,,examination ,,continued--,,judas ,,repents--,,jesus ,,scourged4 ,and as soon as it was day1 the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together1 and led him into their council1 saying1 ,art thou the ,christ8 tell us4 ,and he said unto them1 ,if ,i tell you1 ye will not believe3 and if ,i also ask you1 ye will not answer me1 nor let me go4 ,hereafter shall the ,son of man sit on the right hand of the power of ,god4 ,then said they all1 ,art thou then the ,son of ,god8 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye say that ,i am4 ,and they said1 ,what need we any further witness8 for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth4 ,and straightway1 when the morning was come1 all the chief priests held a consultation with the elders of the people1 and scribes1 and the whole council1 against ,jesus1 to put him to death3 ,and when they had bound him1 the whole multitude of them arose and led him away from ,caiaphas unto the hall of judgment3 and delivered him to ,pontius ,pilate the governor3 and it was early4 ,then ,judas1 which had betrayed him1 when he saw that he was condemned1 repented himself1 and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders1 saying1 ,i have sinned in that ,i have betrayed the innocent blood4 ,and they said1 ,what is that to us8 see thou to that4 ,and he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple1 and departed1 and went and hanged himself4 ,and the chief priests took the silver pieces1 and said1 ,it is not lawful for to put them into the treasury1 because it is the price of blood4 ,and they took counsel1 and bought with them the potters field1 to bury strangers in4 ,wherefore that field was called1 ,the field of blood1 unto this day4 ,then was fulfilled that which was spoken by ,jeremy the prophet1 saying1 ,and they took the thirty pieces of silver1 the price of him that was valued1 whom they of the children of ,israel did value1 and gave them for the potter's field1 as the ,lord appointed me4 ,and they themselves went not into the judgment hall1 lest they should be defiled1 but that they might eat the passover4 ,pilate then went out unto them1 and said1 ,what accusation bring ye against this man8 ,they answered and saith unto him1 ,if he were not a malefactor1 we would not have delivered him up unto thee4 ,then said ,pilate unto them1 ,take ye him1 and judge him according to your law4 ,the ,jews therefore said unto him1 ,it is not lawful for us to put any man to death2 that the saying of ,jesus might be fulfilled1 which he spake1 signifying what death he should die4 ,then ,pilate entered into the judgment hall again1 and called ,jesus1 and said unto him1 ,art thou the ,king of the ,jews8 ,jesus answered him1 ,sayest thou this thing of thyself1 or did others tell it thee of me8 ,pilate answered1 ,am ,i a ,jew8 ,thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me3 what hast thou done8 ,jesus answered1 ,my kingdom is not of this world3 if my kingdom were of this world1 then would my servants fight1 that ,i should not be delivered to the ,jews3 but now is my kingdom not from hence4 ,pilate therefore said unto him1 ,art thou a king then8 ,jesus answered1 ,thou sayest that ,i am a king4 ,to this end was ,i born1 and for this cause came ,i into the world1 that ,i should bear witness unto the truth4 ,every one that is of the truth heareth my voice4 ,pilate saith unto him1 ,what is truth8 ,and when he had said this1 he went out again unto the ,jews1 and saith unto them1 ,i find in him no fault at all4 ,but ye have a custom1 that ,i should release unto you one at the passover3 will ye therefore that ,i release unto you the ,king of the ,jews8 ,then cried they all again1 saying1 ,not this man1 but ,barabbas4 ,now ,barabbas was a robber4 ,then ,pilate therefore took ,jesus1 and scourged him4 ,and the soldiers platted a crown of thorns1 and put it on his head1 and they put on him a purple robe1 and said1 ,hail1 ,king of the ,jews6 and they smote him with their hands4 ,pilate therefore went forth again1 and saith unto them1 ,behold1 ,i bring him forth to you1 that ye may know that ,i find no fault in him4 ,then came ,jesus forth1 wearing the crown of thorns1 and the purple robe4 ,and ,pilate saith unto them1 ,behold the man6 ,when the chief priests therefore and officers saw him1 they cried out1 saying1 ,crucify him1 crucify him4 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,take ye him1 and crucify him3 for ,i find no fault in him4 ,the ,jews answered him1 ,we have a law1 and by our law he ought to die1 because he made himself the ,son of ,god4 ,when ,pilate therefore heard that saying1 he was the more afraid2 and went again into the judgment hall1 and saith unto ,jesus1 ,whence art thou8 ,but ,jesus gave him no answer4 ,then saith ,pilate unto him1 ,speakest thou not unto me8 knowest thou not that ,i have power to crucify thee1 and have power to release thee8 ,jesus answered1 ,thou couldest have no power at all against me1 except it were given thee from above3 therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin4 ,and from thenceforth ,pilate sought to release him3 but the ,jews cried out1 saying1 ,if thou let this man go1 thou art not ,cesar's friend3 whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against ,cesar4 ,when ,pilate therefore heard that saying1 he brought ,jesus forth1 and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the ,pavement1 but in the ,hebrew1 ,gabbatha4 ,and it was the preparation of the passover1 and about the sixth hour4 ,,chapter ,,lxxii4 ,,jesus ,,before ,,herod--,,message ,,to ,,pilate ,,from ,,his ,,wife4 ,and ,jesus stood before the governor3 and they began to accuse him1 saying1 ,we found this fellow perverting the nation1 and forbidding to give tribute to ,cesar1 saying that he himself is ,christ a ,king4 ,and ,pilate the governor1 asked him1 saying1 ,art thou the ,king of the ,jews8 ,and ,jesus saith unto him1 ,thou sayest4 ,and the chief priests accused him of many things3 and when he was accused of the chief priests and elders1 he answered nothing4 ,and ,pilate asked him again1 saying1 ,answerest thou nothing8 hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee8 ,and he answered him to never a word2 insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly4 ,then said ,pilate to the chief priests and to the people1 ,i find no fault in this man4 ,and they were the more fierce1 saying1 ,he stireth up the people1 teaching throughout all ,jewry1 beginning from ,galilee to this place4 ,when ,pilate heard of ,galilee1 he asked whether the man were a ,galileean4 ,and as soon as he knew that he belonged unto ,herod's jurisdiction1 he sent him to ,herod1 who himself also was at ,jerusalem at that time4 ,and when ,herod saw ,jesus1 he was exceeding glad3 for he was desirous to see him of a long season1 because he had heard many things of him2 and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him4 ,then he questioned with him in many words2 but he answered him nothing4 ,and the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him4 ,and ,herod with his men of war set him at nought1 and mocked him1 and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe1 and sent him again to ,pilate4 ,and the same day ,pilate and ,herod were made friends together3 for before they were at enmity between themselves4 ,and he saith unto the ,jews1 ,behold1 your ,king6 ,but they cried out1 ,away with him1 away with him1 crucify him4 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,shall ,i crucify your ,king8 ,the chief priests answered1 ,we have no king but ,cesar4 ,and ,pilate1 when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people1 said unto them1 ,ye have brought this man unto me1 as one that perverteth the people3 and1 behold1 ,i1 having examined him before you1 have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him3 ,no1 nor yet ,herod1 for ,i sent you to him2 and1 lo1 nothing worthy of death is done unto him4 ,i will therefore chastise him1 and release him4 ,now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people one prisoner1 whomsoever they desired4 7,for of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast47 ,and they had then a notable prisoner1 called ,barabbas1 which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him1 who had committed murder in the insurrection4 ,and the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them4 ,therefore when they were gathered together1 ,pilate said unto them1 ,whom will ye that ,i release unto you8 ,barabbas1 or ,jesus which is called ,christ1 the king of the ,jews8 ,for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy4 ,when he was set down on the judgment seat1 his wife sent unto him1 saying1 ,have thou nothing to do with that just man3 for ,i have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him4 ,but the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask1 that he should rather release ,barabbas unto them1 and destroy ,jesus4 ,and they cried out all at once1 saying1 ,away with this man1 and release unto us ,barabbas3 7,who for a certain sedition made in the city1 and for murder1 was cast into prison47 ,pilate therefore1 willing to release ,jesus1 spake again to them4 ,whether of the twain will ye that ,i release unto you8 ,they said ,barabbas4 ,pilate saith unto them1 ,what shall ,i do then with ,jesus which is called ,christ8 unto him whom ye call the ,king of the ,jews8 ,and they cried out again1 saying1 ,crucify him2 let him be crucified4 ,and the governor said unto them the third time1 ,why1 what evil hath he done8 ,i have found no cause of death in him3 ,i will therefore chastise him1 and let him go4 ,and they were instant with loud voices1 requiring that he might be crucified4 ,and they cried out the more exceedingly1 ,crucify him4 ,when ,pilate saw that he could prevail nothing1 but that rather a tumult was made1 he took water1 and washed his hands before the multitude1 saying1 ,i am innocent of the blood of this just person3 see ye to it4 ,then answered all the people1 and said1 ,his blood be on us1 and on our children4 ,and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed4 ,and so ,pilate1 willing to content the people1 gave sentence that it should be as they required4 ,and he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison1 whom they had desired2 but he delivered ,jesus1 when he had scourged him1 to their will1 to be crucified4 ,,chapter ,,lxxiii4 ,,jesus ,,crucified--,,he ,,prays ,,for ,,his ,,enemies4 ,then the soldiers of the governor took ,jesus into the common hall1 called ,pretorium2 and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers4 ,and they stripped him1 and put on him a scarlet robe4 ,and when they had platted a crown of thorns1 they put it on his head1 and a reed in his right hand3 and they bowed the knee before him1 and began to salute him1 and mocked him1 saying1 ,hail1 ,king of the ,jews6 ,and they smote him on the head with a reed1 and did spit upon him1 and bowing their knees worshipped him4 ,and when they had mocked him1 they took off the purple from him1 and put his own clothes on him1 and led him out to crucify him4 ,and as they led him away1 they laid hold upon one ,simon1 a ,cyrenian1 who passed by1 coming out of the country1 the father of ,alexander and ,rufus3 him they compelled1 and on him they laid the cross1 that he might bear it after ,jesus4 ,and there followed him a great company of people1 and of women1 which also bewailed and lamented him4 ,but ,jesus turning unto them said1 ,daughters of ,jerusalem1 weep not for me1 but weep for yourselves1 and for your children4 ,for1 behold1 the days are coming1 in the which they shall say1 blessed are the barren1 and the wombs that never bare1 and the paps that never gave suck4 ,then shall they begin to say to the mountains1 ,fall on us3 and to the hills1 ,cover us4 ,for if they do these things in a green tree1 what shall be done in the dry4 ,and there were also two other malefactors1 led with him to be put to death4 ,and he bearing his cross went forth1 and when they were come to a place called ,golgotha1 which is called ,calvary1 which is1 being interpreted1 the place of a skull1 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall3 and when he had tasted thereof1 he would not drink4 ,there they crucified him1 and two malefactors with him1 one on the right hand1 and the other on the left1 and ,jesus in the midst4 ,then said ,jesus1 ,father1 forgive them2 for they know not what they do4 ,and ,pilate wrote a title1 and put it on the cross4 ,and the writing was1 ,,jesus ,,of ,,nazareth ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4 ,this title then read many of the ,jews3 for the place where ,jesus was crucified was nigh to the city3 and it was written in ,hebrew1 and ,greek1 and ,latin4 ,then said the chief priests of the ,jews to ,pilate1 ,write not1 ,the ,king of the ,jews2 but that he said1 ,i am ,king of the ,jews4 ,pilate answered1 ,what ,i have written1 ,i have written4 ,then the soldiers1 when they had crucified ,jesus1 took his garments1 and made four parts1 to every soldier a part2 and also his coat3 now the coat was without seam1 woven from the top throughout4 ,they said therefore among themselves1 ,let us not rend it1 but cast lots for it1 whose it shall be3 that the scripture might be fulfilled1 which was spoken by the prophet1 ,they parted my garments among them1 and upon my vesture did they cast lots4 ,these things therefore the soldiers did4 ,and it was the third hour1 and they crucified him4 ,and sitting down they watched him there1 and set up over his head his accusation4 ,and the superscription of his accusation was written over1 ,,this ,,is ,,jesus ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4 ,and with him they crucify two thieves2 the one on his right hand1 and the other on his left4 ,and the scripture was fulfilled1 which saith1 ,and he was numbered with the transgressors4 ,,chapter ,,lxxiv4 ,,the ,,two ,,thieves--,,jesus ,,thirsts--,,he ,,gives ,,up ,,the ,,ghost4 ,and the people stood beholding4 ,and they that passed by railed on him1 wagging their heads1 and saying1 ,ah1 thou that destroyest the temple1 and buildest it in three days1 ,save thyself4 ,if thou be the ,son of ,god1 come down from the cross4 ,likewise also the chief priests mocking him1 with the scribes and elders1 and the rulers also with them derided him1 saying1 ,he saved others2 himself he cannot save4 ,let him save himself1 if he be ,christ1 the chosen of ,god4 ,if he be the ,king of ,israel1 let him now come down from the cross1 that we may see1 and we will believe him4 ,he trusted in ,god2 let him deliver him now1 if he will have him3 for he said1 ,i am the ,son of ,god4 ,and the soldiers also mocked him1 coming to him1 and offering him vinegar1 and saying1 ,if thou be the ,king of the ,jews1 save thyself4 ,and a superscription also was written over him in letters of ,greek1 and ,latin1 and ,hebrew1 ,,this ,,is ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4 ,the thieves also1 which were crucified with him1 cast the same in his teeth4 ,and one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him1 saying1 ,if thou be ,christ1 save thyself and us4 ,but the other answering rebuked him1 saying1 ,dost not thou fear ,god1 seeing thou art in the same condemnation8 ,and we indeed justly2 for we receive the due reward of our deeds3 but this man hath done nothing amiss4 ,and he said unto ,jesus1 ,lord1 remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom4 ,and ,jesus said unto him1 ,verily ,i say unto thee1 to day shalt thou be with me in paradise4 ,now there stood by the cross of ,jesus his mother1 and his mother's sister1 ,mary the wife of ,cleophas1 and ,mary ,magdalene4 ,when ,jesus therefore saw his mother1 and the disciple standing by1 whom he loved1 he saith unto his mother1 ,woman1 behold thy son6 ,then saith he to the disciple1 ,behold thy mother6 ,and from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home4 ,and when the sixth hour was come1 there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour4 ,and the sun was darkened1 and about the ninth hour ,jesus cried with a loud voice1 saying1 ,,eli1 ,,eli1 ,,lama ,,sabachthani8 which is1 being interpreted1 ,my ,god1 my ,god1 why hast thou forsaken me8 ,and some of them that stood by1 when they heard it1 said1 ,behold1 he calleth for ,elias4 ,after this1 ,jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished1 that the scripture might be fulfilled1 saith1 ,i thirst4 ,now there was set a vessel full of vinegar3 and straightway one of them ran1 and took a sponge1 and filled it with vinegar1 and put it on a reed1 and gave him to drink4 ,the rest said1 ,let be1 let us see whether ,elias will come to save him4 ,when ,jesus therefore had received the vinegar1 he said1 ,it is finished4 ,and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst4 ,and when ,jesus had cried with a loud voice1 he said1 ,father1 into thy hands ,i commend my spirit6 ,and having said thus1 he bowed his head1 and gave up the ghost4 ,,chapter ,,lxxv4 ,,jesus ,,taken ,,down ,,from ,,the ,,cross--,,buried--,,tomb ,,sealed4 ,and1 behold1 the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom2 and the earth did quake1 and the rocks rent2 and the graves were opened2 and many bodies of the saints which slept arose1 and came out of the graves after his resurrection1 and went into the holy city1 and appeared unto many4 ,and when the centurion1 which stood over against him1 and they that were with him1 watching ,jesus1 saw the earthquake1 and those things that were done1 that he so cried out1 and gave up the ghost1 they feared greatly1 saying1 ,truly this was the ,son of ,god4 ,and all the people that came together to that sight1 beholding the things which were done1 smote their breasts1 and returned4 ,and all his acquaintance1 and the women that followed ,jesus from ,galilee1 ministering unto him1 stood afar off1 beholding these things2 among whom was ,mary ,magdalene1 and ,mary the mother of ,james the less and of ,joses1 and ,salome1 the mother of ,zebedee's children2 7who also1 when he was in ,galilee1 followed him1 and ministered unto him27 and many other women which came up with him unto ,jerusalem4 ,the ,jews therefore1 because it was the preparation1 that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day1 7for that sabbath day was an high day17 besought ,pilate that their legs might be broken1 and that they might be taken away4 ,then came the soldiers1 and brake the legs of the first1 and of the other which was crucified with him4 ,but when they came to ,jesus1 and saw that he was dead already1 they brake not his legs3 but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side1 and forthwith came thereout blood and water4 ,and he that saw it bare record1 and his record is true3 and he knoweth that he saith true1 that ye might believe4 ,for these things were done1 that the scripture should be fulfilled1 ,a bone of him shall not be broken4 ,and again another scripture saith1 ,they shall look on him whom they pierced4 ,and after this1 when the even was come1 because it was the preparation1 that is1 the day before the sabbath1 there came a rich man of ,arimathea named ,joseph1 an honorable counsellor1 and he was a good man1 and a just3 7the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them27 he was of ,arimathea1 a city of the ,jews3 who also himself waited for the kingdom of ,god1 being a disciple of ,jesus1 but secretly for fear of the ,jews4 ,this man went in boldly into ,pilate1 and begged that he might take away the body of ,jesus4 ,and ,pilate marvelled if he were already dead2 and calling unto him the centurion1 he asked him whether he had been any while dead4 ,and when he knew it of the centurion1 then ,pilate commanded the body to be delivered unto ,joseph4 ,he came therefore1 and took the body of ,jesus4 ,and there came also ,nicodemus1 which at the first came to ,jesus by night1 and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes1 about an hundred pound weight4 ,and when ,joseph had taken the body down1 he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth1 with the spices1 as the manner of the ,jews is to bury4 ,now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden2 and in the garden a new sepulchre1 wherein was never man yet laid4 ,there laid they ,jesus therefore in his own new tomb which he had hewn out in the rock3 because of the ,jews' preparation day2 for the sepulchre was nigh at hand3 and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed4 ,and that day was the preparation and the sabbath drew on4 ,and the women also1 ,mary ,magdalene and the other ,mary1 the mother of ,joses1 which came with him from ,galilee1 followed after1 and sitting over against the sepulchre1 beheld the sepulchre1 and how his body was laid4 ,and they returned1 and prepared spices and ointments2 and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment4 ,now the next day1 that followed the day of the preparation1 the chief priests and ,pharisees came together unto ,pilate1 saying1 ,sir1 we remember that that deceiver said1 while he was yet alive1 ,after three days ,i will rise again4 ,command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day1 lest his disciples come by night1 and steal him away1 and say unto the people1 ,he is risen from the dead3 so the last error shall be worse than the first4 ,pilate said unto them1 ,ye have a watch3 go your way1 make it as sure as ye can4 ,so they went1 and made the sepulchre sure1 sealing the stone1 and setting a watch4 ,,chapter ,,lxxvi4 ,,the ,,resurrection ,,of ,,jesus--,,scenes1 ,,etc4 ,and when the sabbath was past1 ,mary ,magdalene1 and ,mary the mother of ,james1 and ,salome1 had bought sweet spices1 that they might come and annoint him4 ,in the end of the sabbath1 as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week1 came ,mary ,magdalene and the other ,mary to see the sepulchre1 at the rising of the sun4 ,and1 behold1 there was a great earthquake3 for the angel of the ,lord descended from heaven1 and came and rolled back the stone from the door1 and sat upon it4 ,his countenance was like lightning1 and his raiment white as snow3 and for fear of him the keepers did shake1 and became as dead men4 ,and they said among themselves1 ,who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre8 ,and when they looked1 they saw that the stone was rolled away3 for it was very great4 ,and the angel answered and said unto the women1 ,fear not ye3 for ,i know that ye seek ,jesus1 which was crucified4 ,he is not here3 for he is risen1 as he said1 ,come1 see the place where the ,lord lay4 ,and entering into the sepulchre1 they saw a young man sitting on the right side1 clothed in a long white garment2 and they were affrighted4 ,and he saith unto them1 ,be not affrighted3 ,ye seek ,jesus of ,nazareth1 which was crucified3 he is risen2 he is not here3 behold the place where they laid him4 ,but go your way quickly1 and tell his disciples1 and ,peter1 that he is risen from the dead2 and behold1 he goeth before you into ,galilee2 there shall ye see him1 as he said unto you3 lo1 ,i have told you4 ,and they went out quickly1 and fled from the sepulchre1 with fear and great joy2 for they trembled and were amazed2 and did run to bring his disciples word3 neither said they anything to any man2 for they were afraid4 ,now when they were going1 behold1 some of the watch came into the city1 and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done4 ,and when they were assembled with the elders1 and had taken counsel1 they gave large money unto the soldiers1 saying1 ,say ye1 ,his disciples came by night1 and stole him away while we slept4 ,and if this come to the governor's ears1 we will persuade him1 and secure you4 ,so they took the money1 and did as they were taught3 and this saying is commonly reported among the ,jews until this day4 ,now upon the first day of the week1 very early in the morning1 they came unto the sepulchre1 bringing the spices which they had prepared1 and certain others with them4 ,and they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre4 ,and they entered in1 and found not the body of the ,lord ,jesus4 ,and it came to pass1 as they were much perplexed thereabout1 behold1 two men stood by them in shining garments3 and as they were afraid1 and bowed down their faces to the earth1 they said unto them1 ,why seek ye the living among the dead8 ,he is not here1 but is risen2 remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in ,galilee1 saying1 ,the ,son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men1 and be crucified1 and the third day rise again4 ,and they remembered his words1 and returned from the sepulchre1 and told all these things unto the eleven1 and to all the rest4 ,and their words seemed to them as idle tales1 and they believed them not4 ,,chapter ,,lxxvii4 ,,mary ,,magdalene ,,and ,,others ,,visit ,,the ,,sepulchre4 ,the first day of the week cometh ,mary ,magdalene early1 when it was yet dark1 unto the sepulchre1 and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre4 ,then she runneth1 and cometh to ,simon ,peter1 and to the other disciple1 whom ,jesus loved1 and saith1 unto them1 ,they have taken away the ,lord out of the sepulchre and we know not where they have laid him4 ,it was ,mary ,magdalene1 and ,joanna1 and ,mary the mother of ,james1 and other women that were with them1 which told these things unto the apostles4 ,peter therefore went forth1 and that other disciple1 and came to the sepulchre4 ,so they ran both together3 and the other disciple did outrun ,peter1 and came first to the sepulchre4 ,and he stooping down1 and looking in1 saw the linen clothes lying2 yet went he not in4 ,then cometh ,simon ,peter following him1 and went into the sepulchre1 and seeth the linen clothes lie1 and the napkin1 that was about his head1 not lying with the linen clothes1 but wrapped together in a place by itself4 ,then went in also that other disciple1 which came first to the sepulchre1 and he saw1 and believed4 ,for as yet they knew not the scripture1 that he must rise again from the dead4 ,then the disciples went away again unto their own home1 7,peter7 wondering in himself at that which was come to pass4 ,but ,mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping3 and as she wept1 she stooped down1 and looked into the sepulchre1 and seeth two angels in white sitting1 the one at the head1 and the other at the feet1 where the body of ,jesus had lain4 ,and they say unto her1 ,woman1 ,why weepest thou8 ,she saith unto them1 ,because they have taken away my ,lord1 and ,i know not where they have laid him4 7,now when ,jesus was risen early the first day of the week1 he appeared first to ,mary ,magdalene1 out of whom he had cast seven devils47 ,and when she had thus said1 she turned herself back1 and saw ,jesus standing1 and knew not that it was ,jesus4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,woman1 why weepest thou8 whom seekest thou8 ,she1 supposing him to be the gardener1 saith unto him1 ,sir1 if thou have borne him hence1 tell me where thou hast laid him1 and ,i will take him away4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,mary4 ,she turned herself1 and saith unto him1 ,rabboni3 which is to say1 ,master4 ,jesus said unto her1 ,touch me not2 for ,i am not yet ascended to my ,father3 but go to my brethren1 and say unto them1 ,i ascend unto my ,father1 and your ,father2 and to my ,god1 and your ,god4 ,and she went and told the disciples that had been with him1 as they mourned and wept1 that she had seen the ,lord1 and that he had spoken these things unto her4 ,and they1 when they had heard that he was alive1 and had been seen of her1 believed not4 ,,chapter ,,lxxviii4 ,,journey ,,to ,,emmaus--,,incredulity ,,of ,,thomas4 ,after that he appeared in another form unto two of them1 that same day1 as they walked1 and went into the country1 to a village called ,emmaus1 which was from ,jerusalem about threescore furlongs4 ,and they talked together of all these things which had happened4 ,and it came to pass1 that1 while they communed together and reasoned1 ,jesus himself drew near1 and went with them4 ,but their eyes were holden that they should not know him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,what manner of communications are these that ye have one to another1 as ye walk1 and are sad8 ,and the one of them1 whose name was ,cleopas1 answering1 said unto him1 ,art thou only a stranger in ,jerusalem1 and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days8 ,and he said unto them1 ,what things8 ,and they said unto him1 ,concerning ,jesus of ,nazareth1 which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before ,god and all the people3 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death1 and have crucified him4 ,but we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed ,israel3 and beside all this1 to day is the third day since these things were done4 ,yea1 and certain women also of our company made us astonished1 which were early at the sepulchre2 and when they found not his body1 they came saying1 that they had also seen a vision of angels1 which said that he was alive4 ,and certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre1 and found it even so as the women had said3 but him they saw not4 ,then said he unto them1 ,o fools1 and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken3 ought not ,christ to have suffered these things1 and to enter into his glory8 ,and beginning at ,moses and all the prophets1 he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself4 ,and they drew nigh unto the village whither they went3 and he made as though he would have gone further4 ,but they constrained him1 saying1 ,abide with us3 for it is toward evening1 and the day is far spent4 ,and he went in to tarry with them4 ,and it came to pass1 as he sat at meat with them1 he took bread1 and blessed it1 and brake1 and gave to them4 ,and their eyes were opened1 and they knew him2 and he vanished out of their sight4 ,and they said one to another1 ,did not our heart burn within us1 while he talked with us by the way1 and while he opened to us the scriptures8 ,and they rose up the same hour1 and returned to ,jerusalem1 and found the eleven gathered together1 and them that were with them1 saying1 ,the ,lord is risen indeed1 and hath appeared to ,simon4 ,and they told what things were done in the way1 and how he was known of them in breaking of bread3 neither believed they them4 ,and as they thus spake1 the same day at evening1 being the first day of the week1 when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the ,jews1 ,jesus himself stood in the midst of them1 and saith unto them1 ,peace be unto you4 ,but they were terrified and affrighted1 and supposed that they had seen a spirit4 ,and he said unto them1 ,why are ye troubled8 and why do thoughts arise in your hearts8 ,behold my hands and my feet1 that it is ,i myself3 handle me1 and see2 for a spirit hath not flesh and bones1 as ye see me have4 ,and when he had thus spoken1 he shewed them his hands1 and his feet1 and his side4 ,then were the disciples glad when they saw the ,lord4 ,and while they yet believed not for joy1 and wondered1 he said unto them4 ,have ye here any meat8 ,and they gave him a piece of broiled fish1 and of an honeycomb4 ,and he took it1 and did eat before them4 ,then said ,jesus to them again1 ,peace be unto you3 as my ,father hath sent me1 even so send ,i you4 ,and when he had said this1 he breathed on them1 and said unto them1 ,receive ye the holy ,ghost4 ,whose soever sins ye remit1 they are remitted unto them2 and whose soever sins ye retain1 they are retained4 ,but ,thomas1 one of the twelve1 called ,dydimus1 was not with them when ,jesus came4 ,the other disciples therefore said unto him1 ,we have seen the ,lord4 ,but1 he said unto them1 ,except ,i shall see in his hands the print of the nails1 and put my finger into the print of the nails1 and thrust my hand into his side1 ,i will not believe4 ,and after eight days again his disciples were within1 and ,thomas with them3 then came ,jesus1 the doors being shut1 and stood in the midst1 as they sat at meat1 and said1 ,peace be unto you2 and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart1 because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen4 ,then saith he to ,thomas1 ,reach hither thy finger1 and behold my hands2 and reach hither thy hand1 and thrust it into my side3 and be not faithless1 but believing4 ,and ,thomas answered and said unto him1 ,my ,lord and my ,god4 ,jesus said unto him1 ,thomas1 because thou hast seen me1 thou hast believed3 blessed are they that have not seen1 and yet have believed4 ,and as they went to tell his disciples1 behold1 ,jesus met them1 saying1 ,all hail4 ,and they came and held him by the feet1 and worshipped him4 ,then said ,jesus unto them1 ,be not afraid2 go tell my brethren that they go into ,galilee1 and there shall they see me4 ,,chapter ,,lxxix4 ,,jesus ,,appears ,,to ,,the ,,eleven2 ,,then ,,to ,,five ,,hundred ,,brethren ,,at ,,once4 ,then the eleven disciples went away into ,galilee1 into a mountain where ,jesus had appointed them4 ,and when they saw him1 they worshipped him3 but some doubted4 ,illustration3 ,sea of ,galilee4 ,and ,jesus came and spake unto them1 saying1 ,all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth4 ,go ye therefore1 and teach all nations1 baptizing them in the name of the ,father1 and of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost3 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever ,i have commanded you3 and1 lo1 ,i am with you alway1 even unto the end of the world4 ,amen4 ,after that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once4 ,after these things ,jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of ,tiberias2 and on this wise shewed he himself4 ,there were together ,simon ,peter1 and ,thomas called ,didymus1 and ,nathanael of ,cana in ,galilee1 and the sons of ,zebedee1 and two other of his disciples4 ,simon ,peter saith unto them1 ,i go a fishing4 ,they say unto him1 ,we also go with thee4 ,they went forth1 and entered into a ship immediately2 and that night they caught nothing4 ,but when the morning was now come1 ,jesus stood on the shore3 but the disciples knew not that it was ,jesus4 ,then ,jesus saith unto them1 ,children1 have ye any meat8 ,they answered him1 ,no1 ,and he said unto them1 ,cast the net on the right side of the ship1 and ye shall find4 ,they cast therefore1 and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes4 ,therefore that disciple whom ,jesus loved saith unto ,peter1 it is the ,lord4 ,now when ,simon ,peter heard that it was the ,lord1 he girt his fisher's coat unto him1 7for he was naked17 and did cast himself into the sea4 ,and the other disciples came in a little ship2 7for they were not far from land1 but as it were two hundred cubits17 dragging the net with fishes4 ,as soon as they were come to land1 they saw a fire of coals there1 and fish laid thereon1 and bread4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,bring of the fish which ye have now caught4 ,simon ,peter went up1 and drew the net to land full of great fishes1 an hundred and fifty and three3 and for all there were so many1 yet was not the net broken4 ,jesus saith unto them1 ,come and dine4 ,and none of the disciples durst ask him1 ,who art thou8 knowing that it was the ,lord4 ,jesus then cometh1 and taketh bread1 and giveth them1 and fish likewise4 ,this is now the third time that ,jesus shewed himself to his disciples1 after that he was risen from the dead4 ,so when they had dined1 ,jesus saith to ,simon ,peter1 ,simon1 son of ,jonas1 lovest thou me more than these8 ,he saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord2 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,he saith unto him1 ,feed my lambs4 ,he saith to him the second time1 ,simon1 son of ,jonas1 lovest thou me8 ,he saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord2 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,he saith unto him1 ,feed my sheep4 ,he saith unto him the third time1 ,simon1 son of ,jonas1 lovest thou me8 ,peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time1 ,lovest thou me8 ,and he said unto him1 ,lord1 thou knowest all things2 thou knowest that ,i love thee4 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,feed my sheep4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,when thou wast young1 thou girdedst thyself1 and walkedst whither thou wouldest2 but when thou shalt be old1 thou shalt stretch forth thy hands1 and another shall gird thee1 and carry thee whither thou wouldest not4 ,this spake he1 signifying by what death he should glorify ,god4 ,and when he had spoken this1 he saith unto him1 ,follow me4 ,then ,peter1 turning about1 seeth the disciple whom ,jesus loved following2 which also leaned on his breast at supper1 and said1 ,lord1 which is he that betrayeth thee8 ,peter seeing him1 saith to ,jesus1 ,lord1 and what shall this man do8 ,jesus saith unto him1 ,if ,i will that he tarry till ,i come1 what is that to thee8 follow thou me4 ,then went this saying abroad among the brethren1 that that disciple should not die3 yet ,jesus said not unto him1 ,he shall not die2 but1 ,if ,i will that he tarry till ,i come1 what is that to thee8 ,this is the disciple which testifieth of these things3 and wrote these things3 and we know that his testimony is true4 ,after that he was seen of ,james4 ,,chapter ,,lxxx4 ,,the ,,ascension ,,of ,,jesus--,,incidents4 ,and 7,jesus71 being assembled together with them1 commanded them that they should not depart from ,jerusalem1 but wait for the promise of the ,father1 which1 saith he1 ye have heard of me4 ,and he said unto them1 ,these are the words which ,i spake unto you1 while ,i was yet with you1 that all things must be fulfilled1 which were written in the ,law of ,moses1 and in the prophets1 and in the ,psalms1 concerning me4 ,then opened he their understanding1 that they might understand the scriptures1 and said unto them1 ,thus it is written1 and thus it behoved ,christ to suffer1 and to rise from the dead the third day3 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations1 beginning at ,jerusalem4 ,and ye are witnesses of these things4 ,and1 behold1 ,i send the promise of my ,father upon you2 but tarry ye in the city of ,jerusalem1 until ye be endued with power from on high4 ,for ,john truly baptized with water2 but ye shall be baptized with the ,holy ,ghost not many days hence4 ,when they therefore were come together1 they asked of him1 saying1 ,lord1 wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to ,israel8 ,and he said unto them1 ,it is not for you to know the times or the seasons1 which the ,father hath put in his own power4 ,but ye shall receive power1 after that the ,holy ,ghost is come upon you3 and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in ,jerusalem1 and in all ,judea1 and in ,samaria1 and unto the uttermost part of the earth4 ,and he led them out as far as to ,bethany1 and he said unto them1 ,go ye into all the world1 and preach the gospel to every creature4 ,he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved2 but he that believeth not shall be damned4 ,and these signs shall follow them that believe2 ,in my name shall they cast out devils2 they shall speak with new tongues2 they shall take up serpents2 and if they drink any deadly thing1 it shall not hurt them2 they shall lay hands on the sick1 and they shall recover4 ,so then after the ,lord had spoken unto them1 he lifted up his hands1 and blessed them4 ,and it came to pass1 while he blessed them1 he was parted from them1 and while they beheld1 he was taken up2 and a cloud received him out of their sight2 he was received up into heaven1 and sat on the right hand of ,god4 ,and while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up1 behold1 two men stood by them in white apparel2 which also said1 ,ye men of ,galilee1 why stand ye gazing up into heaven8 ,this same ,jesus1 which is taken up from you into heaven1 shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven4 ,and they worshipped him1 and returned to ,jerusalem with great joy3 from the mount called ,olivet1 which is from ,jerusalem a sabbath day's journey2 and were continually in the temple1 praising and blessing ,god4 ,amen4 ,and many other signs truly did ,jesus in the presence of his disciples1 which are not written in this book3 ,but these are written1 that ye might believe that ,jesus is the ,christ1 the son of ,god2 and that believing ye might have life through his name4 ,and there are also many other things which ,jesus did1 the which1 if they should be written every one1 ,i suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written4 ,amen4 ,and they went forth1 and preached every where1 the ,lord working with them1 and confirming the word with signs following4 ,amen4 ,,conclusion4 ,jesus has now conquered death1 and ascended1 where ,he ever liveth to make intercession for us4 ,we no more mark his footsteps1 or hear his voice amid the hills and valleys of the ,promised ,land2 but in the groves of immortal bliss1 he is worshipped by adoring angels1 and by the spirits of just men made perfect4 ,there1 ,moses and ,elias1 ,peter1 ,james and ,john1 walk with him in white1 and in a more exalted sense than1 when on the ,mount of ,transfiguration1 exclaim1 ,master1 it is good for us to be here4 ,and with these1 ,the saints of all ages in harmony meet1 ,their ,saviour and brethren transported to greet2 ,while the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll1 ,and the smile of our ,jesus is the feast of the soul4 ,but while we linger on these mortal shores1 other words1 from the lips of ,jesus1 still fall upon our ears4 ,when ,paul was on his way to the feast of the ,passover at ,jerusalem1 he tarried for a brief space at ,ephesus4 ,here he called together the elders of the church1 and gave them an account of his labors1 and exhorted them to diligence in the cause of their ,master4 ,and in that memorable farewell address1 while urging upon the strong the duty of supporting the weak1 he enforces his doctrine1 by reminding them of the words of the ,lord ,jesus1 where he says1 ,it is more blessed to give than to receive4 ,john was banished to the ,isle of ,patmos1 for the word of ,god1 and the testimony of ,jesus4 ,in a vision1 he saw one like unto the ,son of man1 walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks4 ,his hair was like wool1 white as snow2 his eyes as a flame of fire2 his feet like fine brass1 as if they burned in a furnace2 and his voice like the sound of many waters4 ,in his right hand were seven stars3 and out of his mouth went a two edged sword3 and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength4 ,and when ,john saw him1 he fell at his feet as one dead4 ,but ,jesus laid his right hand upon him saying3 ,fear not2 ,i am the first and the last3 ,i am he that liveth1 and was dead2 and1 behold1 ,i am alive forever more1 ,amen2 and have the keys of hell and of death4 ,write the things which thou hast seen1 and the things which are1 and the things which shall be hereafter2 the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand1 and the seven golden candlesticks4 ,the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches2 and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches4 ,and these are the words which he commanded ,john to write to the angels1 or ministers1 of the seven churches4 ,to the church in ,ephesus1 write3 ,i know thy works1 and thy labor1 and thy patience1 and how thou canst not bear them which are evil3 and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not1 and hast found them liars3 and hast borne1 and hast patience1 and for my name's sake hast labored1 and hast not fainted4 ,nevertheless ,i have somewhat against thee1 because thou hast left thy first love4 ,remember1 therefore from whence thou art fallen1 and repent1 and do thy first works2 or else ,i will come unto thee quickly1 and will remove thy candlestick out of his place1 except thou repent4 ,but this thou hast1 that thou hatest the deeds of the ,nicolaitans1 which ,i also hate4 ,to the church of ,smyrna1 write3 ,i know thy works1 and tribulation1 and poverty1 but thou art rich2 and ,i know the blasphemy of them which say they are ,jews1 and are not1 but are the synagogue of ,satan4 ,fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer3 behold1 the devil shall cast some of you into prison1 that ye may be tried2 and ye shall have tribulation ten days3 be thou faithful unto death1 and ,i will give thee a crown of life4 ,to the church in ,pergamos1 write3 ,i know thy works1 and where thou dwellest1 even where ,satan's seat is3 and thou holdest fast my name1 and hast not denied my faith1 even in those days wherein ,antipas was my faithful martyr1 who was slain among you1 where ,satan dwelleth4 ,but ,i have a few things against thee1 because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of ,balaam1 who taught ,balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of ,israel1 to eat things sacrificed unto idols1 and to commit fornication4 ,so hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the ,nicolaitans1 which thing ,i hate4 ,repent1 or else ,i will come unto thee quickly1 and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth4 ,to the church at ,thyatira1 write3 ,i know thy works1 and charity1 and service1 and faith1 and thy patience1 and thy works2 and the last to be more than the first4 ,notwithstanding1 ,i have a few things against thee1 because thou sufferest that woman1 ,jezebel1 which calleth herself a prophetess1 to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication1 and to eat things sacrificed unto idols4 ,and ,i gave her space to repent of her fornication2 and she repented not4 ,behold1 ,i will cast her into a bed1 and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation1 except they repent of their deeds4 ,and ,i will kill her children with death3 and all the churches shall know that ,i am he which searcheth the reins and hearts2 and ,i will give unto every one of you according to your works4 ,but unto you ,i say1 and unto the rest in ,thyatira1 as many as have not this doctrine1 and which have not known the depths of ,satan1 as they speak2 ,i will put upon you none other burden4 ,but that which ye have already1 hold fast till ,i come4 ,and he that overcometh1 and keepeth my works unto the end1 to him will ,i give power over the nations2 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron2 as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers1 even as ,i received of my ,father2 and ,i will give him the morning star4 ,to the church in ,sardis1 write3 ,i know thy works1 that thou hast a name that thou livest1 and art dead4 ,be watchful and strengthen the things which remain1 that are ready to die3 for ,i have not found thy works perfect before ,god4 ,remember therefore how thou hast received and heard1 and hold fast and repent4 ,if therefore thou shalt not watch1 ,i will come on thee as a thief1 and thou shalt not know what hour ,i will come upon thee4 ,thou hast a few names even in ,sardis which have not defiled their garments1 and they shall walk with me in white1 for they are worthy4 ,to the church in ,philadelphia1 write3 ,i know thy works4 ,behold1 ,i have set before thee an open door1 and no man can shut it3 for thou hast a little strength1 and hast kept my word1 and hast not denied my name4 ,behold1 ,i will make them of the ,synagogue of ,satan1 which say they are ,jews1 and are not1 but do lie2 behold ,i will make them to come and worship before thy feet1 and to know that ,i have loved thee4 ,because thou hast kept the word of my patience1 ,i also will keep thee from the hour of temptation1 which shall come upon all the world1 to try them that dwell upon the earth4 ,behold1 ,i come quickly2 hold that fast which thou hast1 that no man take thy crown4 ,him that overcometh will ,i make a pillar in the temple of my ,god1 and he shall go no more out3 and ,i will write upon him the name of my ,god1 and the name of the city of my ,god1 which is new ,jerusalem1 which cometh down out of heaven from my ,god2 and ,i will write upon him my new name4 ,to the church of the ,laodiceans1 write3 ,i know thy works1 that thou art neither cold nor hot3 ,i would thou wert cold or hot4 ,so then because thou art lukewarm1 and neither cold nor hot1 ,i will spew thee out of my mouth4 ,because thou sayest1 ,i am rich1 and increased with goods1 and have need of nothing2 and knowest not that thou art wretched1 and miserable1 and poor1 and blind1 and naked4 ,i counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire1 that thou mayest be rich2 and white raiment1 that thou mayest be clothed1 and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear2 and anoint thine eyes with eye salve1 that thou mayest see4 ,as many as ,i love1 ,i rebuke and chasten2 be zealous1 therefore1 and repent4 ,behold1 ,i stand at the door and knock3 if any man hear my voice1 and open the door1 ,i will come in to him1 and will sup with him1 and he with me4 ,to him that overcometh will ,i grant to sit with me in my throne1 even as ,i also overcame1 and am set down with my ,father in his throne4 ,john in his vision saw also a new heaven and a new earth2 and there was no more sea4 ,for the former things were passed away4 ,and ,jesus who sat upon the throne1 said3 ,behold1 ,i make all things new4 ,and he said to ,john3 ,write3 for these words are true and faithful4 ,it is done4 ,i am ,alpha and ,omega1 the beginning and the end4 ,i will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely4 ,he that overcometh shall inherit all things2 and ,i will be his ,god1 and he shall be my son4 ,but the fearful1 and unbelieving1 and the abominable1 and murderers1 and whoremongers1 and sorcerers1 and idolaters1 and all liars1 shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone3 which is the second death4 ,and ,john saw the holy city1 with its jasper walls1 its golden streets1 and gates of pearl2 its crystal river1 and tree of life1 with its perpetual fruits and healing leaves2 and the light of the city was the glory of the ,lamb4 ,and he spake to ,john and said1 ,i1 ,jesus1 have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things1 in the churches4 ,i am the root and the offspring of ,david1 and the bright and morning star4 ,and the ,spirit and the bride say1 come4 ,and let him that heareth say1 ,come4 ,and let him that is athirst come4 ,and whosoever will1 let him take the water of life freely4 ,for ,i testify unto every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book1 ,if any man shall add unto these things1 ,god shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book4 ,and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy1 ,god shall take away his part out of the book of life1 and out of the holy city1 and from the things which are written in this book4 ,he which testifieth these things saith1 ,surely ,i come quickly3 ,amen4 ,even so1 come1 ,lord ,jesus4 ,the
