King James Bible

The Gospel According To St. Matthew

John Bunyan at the CrossMatthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.

Matthew 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
Judas and his brethren;

Matthew 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

Matthew 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson
begat Salmon;

Matthew 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
and Obed begat Jesse;

Matthew 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon
of her that had been the wife of Urias;

Matthew 1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat
Asa;

Matthew 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
begat Ozias;

Matthew 1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
begat Ezekias;

Matthew 1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon
begat Josias;

Matthew 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
they were carried away to Babylon:

Matthew 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

Matthew 1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim
begat Azor;

Matthew 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
Eliud;

Matthew 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan
begat Jacob;

Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ.

Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen
generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
generations.

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
with child of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not
to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the
Holy Ghost.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God
with us.

Matthew 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
and he called his name JESUS.

Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and
all Jerusalem with him.

Matthew 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Matthew 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
written by the prophet,

Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among
the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my
people Israel.

Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of
them diligently what time the star appeared.

Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word
again, that I may come and worship him also.

Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was.

Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they
had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and
his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Matthew 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night,
and departed into Egypt:

Matthew 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt
have I called my son.

Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

Matthew 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying,

Matthew 2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,
because they are not.

Matthew 2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth
in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

Matthew 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go
into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's
life.

Matthew 2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came
into the land of Israel.

Matthew 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the
room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being
warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness
of Judaea,

Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying,
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.

Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Matthew 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
region round about Jordan,

Matthew 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his
baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to
flee from the wrath to come?

Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham.

Matthew 3:10 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Matthew 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.

Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.

Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me?

Matthew 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the
water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil.

Matthew 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungered.

Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of
God, command that these stones be made bread.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him
on a pinnacle of the temple,

Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and
in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot
against a stone.

Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me.

Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Matthew 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.

Matthew 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee;

Matthew 4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is
upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

Matthew 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,

Matthew 4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for
they were fishers.

Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
of men.

Matthew 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Matthew 4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father,
mending their nets; and he called them.

Matthew 4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and
followed him.

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease among the people.

Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto
him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and
those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and
those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Matthew 4:25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee,
and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond
Jordan.

Matthew 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when
he was set, his disciples came unto him:

Matthew 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Matthew 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.

Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I
am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to
his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say,
Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way
with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the
judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence,
till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not commit adultery:

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should
perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
give her a writing of divorcement:

Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and
whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine
oaths:

Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it
is God's throne:

Matthew 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair white or black.

Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:

Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also.

Matthew 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.

Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of
thee turn not thou away.

Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you;

Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same?

Matthew 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others
? do not even the publicans so?

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet
before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that
they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth:

Matthew 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father
which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.

Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:

Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to
fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face;

Matthew 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is
that darkness!

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put
on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not
much better than they?

Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?

Matthew 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.

Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe
you, O ye of little faith?

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matthew 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again
and rend you.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you:

Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him a stone?

Matthew 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask him?

Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat:

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?

Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a
rock.

Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the
sand:

Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
people were astonished at his doctrine:

Matthew 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
scribes.

Matthew 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him.

Matthew 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Matthew 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way,
show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a
testimony unto them.

Matthew 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a
centurion, beseeching him,

Matthew 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.

Matthew 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
healed.

Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I
say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to
my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in
Israel.

Matthew 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of
heaven.

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour.

Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick of a fever.

Matthew 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose,
and ministered unto them.

Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed
all that were sick:

Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Matthew 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to depart unto the other side.

Matthew 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Matthew 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.

Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their
dead.

Matthew 8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
him.

Matthew 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

Matthew 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save us: we perish.

Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great
calm.

Matthew 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that
even the winds and the sea obey him!

Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the
Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs,
exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the
time?

Matthew 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine
feeding.

Matthew 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer
us to go away into the herd of swine.

Matthew 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they
went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Matthew 8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the
city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the
devils.

Matthew 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when
they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Matthew 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his
own city.

Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying
on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son,
be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Matthew 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This
man blasphemeth.

Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil
in your hearts?

Matthew 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Arise, and walk?

Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy
bed, and go unto thine house.

Matthew 9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

Matthew 9:8 But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
God, which had given such power unto men.

Matthew 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me.
And he arose, and followed him.

Matthew 9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

Matthew 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.

Matthew 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

Matthew 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for
that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is
made worse.

Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine
into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Matthew 9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a
certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but
come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Matthew 9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

Matthew 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

Matthew 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole.

Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman
was made whole from that hour.

Matthew 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
minstrels and the people making a noise,

Matthew 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

Matthew 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by
the hand, and the maid arose.

Matthew 9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

Matthew 9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

Matthew 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him:
and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said
unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
it unto you.

Matthew 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See that no man know it.

Matthew 9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
all that country.

Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
possessed with a devil.

Matthew 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
prince of the devils.

Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on
them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.

Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth labourers into his harvest.

Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave
them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner
of sickness and all manner of disease.

Matthew 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother;

Matthew 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

Matthew 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go
not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye
not:

Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Matthew 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

Matthew 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

Matthew 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

Matthew 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

Matthew 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Matthew 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Matthew 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

Matthew 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.

Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and
cause them to be put to death.

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of
Israel, till the Son of man be come.

Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord.

Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house
Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body
in hell.

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.

Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me.

Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it.

Matthew 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.

Matthew 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name
of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto
you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Matthew 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding
his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their
cities.

Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
sent two of his disciples,

Matthew 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
for another?

Matthew 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those
things which ye do hear and see:

Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to them.

Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Matthew 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken
with the wind?

Matthew 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment?
behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Matthew 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet.

Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is
least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
come.

Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

Matthew 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
hath a devil.

Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But
wisdom is justified of her children.

Matthew 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not:

Matthew 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they
would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Matthew 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Matthew 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the
Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn;
and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to
eat.

Matthew 12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

Matthew 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he
was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Matthew 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were
with him, but only for the priests?

Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days
the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.

Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Matthew 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

Matthew 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And
they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they
might accuse him.

Matthew 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he
not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Matthew 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

Matthew 12:13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Matthew 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
how they might destroy him.

Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Matthew 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

Matthew 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my
soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show
judgment to the Gentiles.

Matthew 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
voice in the streets.

Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

Matthew 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,
and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and
saw.

Matthew 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
of David?

Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or
house divided against itself shall not stand:

Matthew 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?

Matthew 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God is come unto you.

Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil
his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his
house.

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad.

Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not
be forgiven unto men.

Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not
be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make
the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth
forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth
evil things.

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned.

Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but
the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of
the earth.

Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of
Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

Matthew 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is
here.

Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Matthew 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Matthew 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state
of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked
generation.

Matthew 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren?

Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Matthew 13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea
side.

Matthew 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that
he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Matthew 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold,
a sower went forth to sow;

Matthew 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
fowls came and devoured them up:

Matthew 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and
forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Matthew 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away.

Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:

Matthew 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
unto them in parables?

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Matthew 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have
more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that
he hath.

Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see
not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see,
and shall not perceive:

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should
see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
they hear.

Matthew 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men
have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to
hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which
was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Matthew 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Matthew 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke
the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that
heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way.

Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.

Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it
tares?

Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
up also the wheat with them.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and
bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his
field:

Matthew 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the
air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is
like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till
the whole was leavened.

Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
and without a parable spake he not unto them:

Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been
kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Matthew 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the
tares of the field.

Matthew 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed
is the Son of man;

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end
of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world.

Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a
field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:

Matthew 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
all that he had, and bought it.

Matthew 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast
into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an
householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Matthew 13:53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence.

Matthew 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in
their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath
this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Matthew 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath
this man all these things?

Matthew 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief.

Matthew 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

Matthew 14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in
him.

Matthew 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

Matthew 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Matthew 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

Matthew 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod.

Matthew 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask.

Matthew 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
here John Baptist's head in a charger.

Matthew 14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and
them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

Matthew 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Matthew 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

Matthew 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
and went and told Jesus.

Matthew 14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a
desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him
on foot out of the cities.

Matthew 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

Matthew 14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away,
that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

Matthew 14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
to eat.

Matthew 14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes.

Matthew 14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

Matthew 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to
the multitude.

Matthew 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Matthew 14:21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children.

Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes
away.

Matthew 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

Matthew 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.

Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.

Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

Matthew 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.

Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Matthew 14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Matthew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Matthew 14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.

Matthew 14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent
out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were
diseased;

Matthew 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Matthew 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,

Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?

Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Matthew 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It
is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

Matthew 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus
have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.

Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:

Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Matthew 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Matthew 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Matthew 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
parable.

Matthew 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the man.

Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Matthew 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Matthew 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
and Sidon.

Matthew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my
daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

Matthew 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and cast it to dogs.

Matthew 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.

Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from
that very hour.

Matthew 15:29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

Matthew 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at
Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

Matthew 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and
they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and
have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in
the way.

Matthew 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

Matthew 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they
said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

Matthew 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

Matthew 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks,
and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Matthew 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

Matthew 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
children.

Matthew 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into
the coasts of Magdala.

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting
desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.

Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It
will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky
is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but
can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And
he left them, and departed.

Matthew 16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
forgotten to take bread.

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
have taken no bread.

Matthew 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little
faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Matthew 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of
the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Matthew 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?

Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of
the Sadducees?

Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some,
Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God.

Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father
which is in heaven.

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
it.

Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus the Christ.

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and
chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God,
but those that be of men.

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the
sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Matthew 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him.

Matthew 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for
us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Matthew 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
were sore afraid.

Matthew 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid.

Matthew 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only.

Matthew 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from
the dead.

Matthew 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come?

Matthew 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.

Matthew 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew
him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also
the Son of man suffer of them.

Matthew 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.

Matthew 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

Matthew 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

Matthew 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure
him.

Matthew 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring
him hither to me.

Matthew 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and
the child was cured from that very hour.

Matthew 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could
not we cast him out?

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you.

Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Matthew 17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
again. And they were exceeding sorry.

Matthew 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

Matthew 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the
earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Matthew 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
are the children free.

Matthew 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when
thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and
give unto them for me and thee.

Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
midst of them,

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me.

Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off,
and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or
maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting
fire.

Matthew 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I
say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my
Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Matthew 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not
astray.

Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish.

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and
tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou
hast gained thy brother.

Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
established.

Matthew 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man
and a publican.

Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my
Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there
am I in the midst of them.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Matthew 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
king, which would take account of his servants.

Matthew 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.

Matthew 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made.

Matthew 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Matthew 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and
took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

Matthew 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Matthew 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt.

Matthew 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Matthew 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O
thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Matthew 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

Matthew 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due unto him.

Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Matthew 19:1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
Jordan;

Matthew 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

Matthew 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto
him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore
God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Matthew 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing
of divorcement, and to put her away?

Matthew 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not
so.

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso
marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Matthew 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
his wife, it is not good to marry.

Matthew 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given.

Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and
there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of
heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Matthew 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not,
to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments.

Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear
false witness,

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come and follow me.

Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of
God.

Matthew 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Matthew 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which
have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the
throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.

Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's
sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be
first.

Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an
householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his
vineyard.

Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he
sent them into his vineyard.

Matthew 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,

Matthew 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

Matthew 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.

Matthew 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

Matthew 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye
receive.

Matthew 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last
unto the first.

Matthew 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.

Matthew 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

Matthew 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,

Matthew 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast
made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Matthew 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

Matthew 20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee.

Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?

Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
called, but few chosen.

Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them,

Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn
him to death,

Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

Matthew 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,
Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other
on the left, in thy kingdom.

Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

Matthew 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for
whom it is prepared of my Father.

Matthew 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren.

Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great
exercise authority upon them.

Matthew 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;

Matthew 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:

Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
him.

Matthew 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou
son of David.

Matthew 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of
David.

Matthew 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
that I shall do unto you?

Matthew 20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Matthew 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

Matthew 21:2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and
bring them unto me.

Matthew 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them; and straightway he will send them.

Matthew 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,

Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

Matthew 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

Matthew 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.

Matthew 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed them in the way.

Matthew 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of
the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

Matthew 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Matthew 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna
to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

Matthew 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Matthew 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

Matthew 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on
thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

Matthew 21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If
ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the
fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive.

Matthew 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what
authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

Matthew 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I
do these things.

Matthew 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he
will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

Matthew 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

Matthew 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said
unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Matthew 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to
the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

Matthew 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

Matthew 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not.

Matthew 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say
unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the
publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Matthew 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when
ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it,
and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

Matthew 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

Matthew 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.

Matthew 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.

Matthew 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.

Matthew 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his
inheritance.

Matthew 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

Matthew 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

Matthew 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him
the fruits in their seasons.

Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Matthew 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Matthew 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

Matthew 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
said,

Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a
marriage for his son,

Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
the wedding: and they would not come.

Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are
killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:

Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.

Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.

Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
find, bid to the marriage.

Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was
furnished with guests.

Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
man which had not on a wedding garment:

Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Matthew 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
entangle him in his talk.

Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in
truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of
men.

Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?

Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye
me, ye hypocrites?

Matthew 22:19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

Matthew 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription?

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things
that are God's.

Matthew 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
and went their way.

Matthew 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,

Matthew 22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Matthew 22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he
had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his
brother:

Matthew 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

Matthew 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.

Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
seven? for they all had her.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.

Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Matthew 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Matthew 22:33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
doctrine.

Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,

Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.

Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Matthew 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David.

Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
Lord, saying,

Matthew 22:44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy footstool?

Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Matthew 22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man
from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

Matthew 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and
do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of
their fingers.

Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

Matthew 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
the synagogues,

Matthew 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
Rabbi.

Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.

Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
Christ.

Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall
receive the greater damnation.

Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Matthew 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of
the temple, he is a debtor!

Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold?

Matthew 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

Matthew 23:19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
altar that sanctifieth the gift?

Matthew 23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
by all things thereon.

Matthew 23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
him that dwelleth therein.

Matthew 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of
the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.

Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of
extortion and excess.

Matthew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are
within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

Matthew 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Matthew 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.

Matthew 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?

Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Matthew 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of
Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Matthew 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation.

Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy
children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and
ye would not!

Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.

Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I
say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall
not be thrown down.

Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto
him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places.

Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)

Matthew 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Matthew 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house:

Matthew 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes.

Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day:

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect.

Matthew 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

Matthew 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son
of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.

Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
it is near, even at the doors.

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
away.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark,

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.

Matthew 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.

Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in
what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have
suffered his house to be broken up.

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.

Matthew 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.

Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;

Matthew 24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;

Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them:

Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.

Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough
for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that
were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
open to us.

Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not.

Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway
took his journey.

Matthew 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made them other five talents.

Matthew 25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
two.

Matthew 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord's money.

Matthew 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them.

Matthew 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler
over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew 25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents
beside them.

Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord,
I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and
gathering where thou hast not strowed:

Matthew 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful
servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have
not strowed:

Matthew 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Matthew 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.

Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he
hath.

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the
goats:

Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world:

Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Matthew 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was
in prison, and ye came unto me.

Matthew 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Matthew 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?

Matthew 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 25:42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me no drink:

Matthew 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed
me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Matthew 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings,
he said unto his disciples,

Matthew 26:2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

Matthew 26:3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and
the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called
Caiaphas,

Matthew 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill
him.

Matthew 26:5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
among the people.

Matthew 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

Matthew 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

Matthew 26:8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To
what purpose is this waste?

Matthew 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to
the poor.

Matthew 26:10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

Matthew 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
always.

Matthew 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did
it for my burial.

Matthew 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done,
be told for a memorial of her.

Matthew 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the
chief priests,

Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver
him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Matthew 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

Matthew 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for
thee to eat the passover?

Matthew 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him,
The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house
with my disciples.

Matthew 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
made ready the passover.

Matthew 26:20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

Matthew 26:21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me.

Matthew 26:22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them
to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

Matthew 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in
the dish, the same shall betray me.

Matthew 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto
that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if
he had not been born.

Matthew 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and
brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, Drink ye all of it;

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.

Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's
kingdom.

Matthew 26:30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.

Matthew 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because
of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep
of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

Matthew 26:32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

Matthew 26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be
offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

Matthew 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night,
before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Matthew 26:35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I
not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Matthew 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

Matthew 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

Matthew 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even
unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Matthew 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and
saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be
done.

Matthew 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were
heavy.

Matthew 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words.

Matthew 26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is
betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Matthew 26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
me.

Matthew 26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests
and elders of the people.

Matthew 26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

Matthew 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
kissed him.

Matthew 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Matthew 26:51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and
smote off his ear.

Matthew 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Matthew 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
must be?

Matthew 26:55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come
out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with
you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

Matthew 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Matthew 26:57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Matthew 26:58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

Matthew 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

Matthew 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

Matthew 26:61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of
God, and to build it in three days.

Matthew 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

Matthew 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou
be the Christ, the Son of God.

Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Matthew 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy.

Matthew 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

Matthew 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others
smote him with the palms of their hands,

Matthew 26:68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote
thee?

Matthew 26:69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

Matthew 26:70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou
sayest.

Matthew 26:71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him,
and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of
Nazareth.

Matthew 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

Matthew 26:73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said
to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

Matthew 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the
man. And immediately the cock crew.

Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept
bitterly.

Matthew 27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Matthew 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to
the chief priests and elders,

Matthew 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged himself.

Matthew 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is
not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of
blood.

Matthew 27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field,
to bury strangers in.

Matthew 27:8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
day.

Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was
valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

Matthew 27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
me.

Matthew 27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou
sayest.

Matthew 27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
answered nothing.

Matthew 27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee?

Matthew 27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly.

Matthew 27:15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
people a prisoner, whom they would.

Matthew 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

Matthew 27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto
them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called
Christ?

Matthew 27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

Matthew 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto
him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered
many things this day in a dream because of him.

Matthew 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that
they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

Matthew 27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain
will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

Matthew 27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather
a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude,
saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

Matthew 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
and on our children.

Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

Matthew 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

Matthew 27:28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon
his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

Matthew 27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on
the head.

Matthew 27:31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Matthew 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

Matthew 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is
to say, a place of a skull,

Matthew 27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he
had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

Matthew 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my
garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

Matthew 27:36 And sitting down they watched him there;

Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.

Matthew 27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

Matthew 27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it
in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the
cross.

Matthew 27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
and elders, said,

Matthew 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of
Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Matthew 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

Matthew 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same
in his teeth.

Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land
unto the ninth hour.

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me?

Matthew 27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
This man calleth for Elias.

Matthew 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled
it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

Matthew 27:49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to
save him.

Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
the ghost.

Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,

Matthew 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared
greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Matthew 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

Matthew 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

Matthew 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

Matthew 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.

Matthew 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,

Matthew 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the
rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

Matthew 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
against the sepulchre.

Matthew 27:62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

Matthew 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was
yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Matthew 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the
third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto
the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than
the first.

Matthew 27:65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it
as sure as ye can.

Matthew 27:66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first
day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door,
and sat upon it.

Matthew 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow:

Matthew 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead
men.

Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from
the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see
him: lo, I have told you.

Matthew 28:8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

Matthew 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

Matthew 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren
that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Matthew 28:11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into
the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

Matthew 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken
counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

Matthew 28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away
while we slept.

Matthew 28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him,
and secure you.

Matthew 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this
saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.

God's word to you ... The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
 [Deuteronomy 29:29]

 

Questions to ask yourself while reading God's word:

Are you ready?


1) Do you have a "prepared heart" to seek God?

2) Have you found His Book?

3) Is your heart "fixed"? John 3:5 "born of water and of the Spirit"

4) Do you inquire of the LORD?
