40:006:030 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?

40:006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

40:006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

40:006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

40:006:034 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.

40:007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

40:007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

40:007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

40:007:004 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?

40:007:005 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.

40:007:006 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.

40:007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

40:007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

40:007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone?

40:007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

40:007:011 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?

40:007:012 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.

40:007:013 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:

40:007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

40:007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

40:007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?

40:007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

40:007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

40:007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.

40:007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

40:007:021 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.

40:007:022 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?

40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.

40:007:024 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:

40:007:025 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.

40:007:026 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:

40:007:027 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.

40:007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
people were astonished at his doctrine:

40:007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
scribes.

40:008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him.

40:008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

40:008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

40:008:004 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy
way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.

40:008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him
a centurion, beseeching him,

40:008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.

40:008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

40:008:008 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.

40:008:009 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.

40:008:010 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.

40:008:011 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.

40:008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:008:013 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.

40:008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick of a fever.

40:008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
arose, and ministered unto them.

40:008:016 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:

40:008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.

40:008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to depart unto the other side.

40:008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

40:008:020 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.

40:008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.

40:008:022 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
their dead.

40:008:023 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
him.

40:008:024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

40:008:025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save us: we perish.

40:008:026 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.

40:008:027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
that even the winds and the sea obey him!

40:008:028 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.

40:008:029 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?

40:008:030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine
feeding.

40:008:031 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

40:008:032 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.

40:008:033 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.

40:008:034 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.

40:009:001 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his
own city.

40:009:002 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.

40:009:003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
This man blasphemeth.

40:009:004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil
in your hearts?

40:009:005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
to say, Arise, and walk?

40:009:006 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.

40:009:007 And he arose, and departed to his house.

40:009:008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
God, which had given such power unto men.

40:009:009 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.

40:009:010 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.

40:009:011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

40:009:012 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

40:009:013 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.

40:009:014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

40:009:015 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.

40:009:016 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.

40:009:017 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.

40:009:018 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.

40:009:019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

40:009:020 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of
his garment:

40:009:021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole.

40:009:022 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.

40:009:023 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
minstrels and the people making a noise,

40:009:024 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

40:009:025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
by the hand, and the maid arose.

40:009:026 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

40:009:027 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

40:009:028 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.

40:009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
it unto you.

40:009:030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See that no man know it.

40:009:031 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
all that country.

40:009:032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
possessed with a devil.

40:009:033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

40:009:034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
prince of the devils.

40:009:035 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.

40:009:036 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.

40:009:037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few;

40:009:038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth labourers into his harvest.

40:010:001 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.

40:010:002 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;

40:010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was
Thaddaeus;

40:010:004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
him.

40:010:005 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:

40:010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

40:010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand.

40:010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

40:010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

40:010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

40:010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

40:010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

40:010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

40:010:014 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.

40:010:015 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.

40:010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

40:010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

40:010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

40:010:019 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.

40:010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.

40:010:021 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.

40:010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved.

40:010:023 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.

40:010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord.

40:010:025 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?

40:010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

40:010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

40:010:028 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.

40:010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

40:010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

40:010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

40:010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

40:010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.

40:010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword.

40:010:035 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.

40:010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

40:010:037 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.

40:010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me.

40:010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it.

40:010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.

40:010:041 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.

40:010:042 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.

40:011:001 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.

40:011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
sent two of his disciples,

40:011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
for another?

40:011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do hear and see:

40:011:005 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.

40:011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

40:011:007 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?

40:011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
houses.

40:011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet.

40:011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.

40:011:011 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.

40:011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

40:011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

40:011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
come.

40:011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows,

40:011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

40:011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
hath a devil.

40:011:019 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.

40:011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not:

40:011:021 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.

40:011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

40:011:023 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.

40:011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

40:011:025 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.

40:011:026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

40:011:027 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.
