40:011:028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.

40:011:029 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.

40:011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

40:012:001 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.

40:012:002 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.

40:012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when
he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

40:012:004 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but only for the priests?

40:012:005 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?

40:012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.

40:012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

40:012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

40:012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

40:012:010 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.

40:012:011 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?

40:012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

40:012:013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
other.

40:012:014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
how they might destroy him.

40:012:015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

40:012:016 And charged them that they should not make him known:

40:012:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,

40:012:018 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 shew judgment to the Gentiles.

40:012:019 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
voice in the streets.

40:012:020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

40:012:021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

40:012:022 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.

40:012:023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
of David?

40:012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils.

40:012:025 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:

40:012:026 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?

40:012:027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

40:012:028 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God is come unto you.

40:012:029 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.

40:012:030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad.

40:012:031 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.

40:012:032 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.

40:012:033 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.

40:012:034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.

40:012:035 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.

40:012:036 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

40:012:037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned.

40:012:038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

40:012:039 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:

40:012:040 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.

40:012:041 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.

40:012:042 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.

40:012:043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

40:012:044 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.

40:012:045 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.

40:012:046 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

40:012:047 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

40:012:048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren?

40:012:049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

40:012:050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

40:013:001 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea
side.

40:013:002 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.

40:013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

40:013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
fowls came and devoured them up:

40:013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
earth:

40:013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away.

40:013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:

40:013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

40:013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
unto them in parables?

40:013:011 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.

40:013:012 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.

40:013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see
not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

40:013:014 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:

40:013:015 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.

40:013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
they hear.

40:013:017 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.

40:013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

40:013:019 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.

40:013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

40:013:021 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.

40:013:022 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.

40:013:023 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.

40:013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
field:

40:013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way.

40:013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.

40:013:027 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?

40:013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

40:013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
up also the wheat with them.

40:013:030 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.

40:013:031 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:

40:013:032 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.

40:013:033 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.

40:013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
and without a parable spake he not unto them:

40:013:035 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.

40:013:036 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.

40:013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed
is the Son of man;

40:013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

40:013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end
of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40:013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world.

40:013:041 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;

40:013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

40:013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:013:044 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.

40:013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls:

40:013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
all that he had, and bought it.

40:013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast
into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

40:013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

40:013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

40:013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

40:013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

40:013:052 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.

40:013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence.

40:013:054 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?

40:013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
Judas?

40:013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath
this man all these things?

40:013:057 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.

40:013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief.

40:014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

40:014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him.

40:014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

40:014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

40:014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

40:014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them, and pleased Herod.

40:014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask.

40:014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
here John Baptist's head in a charger.

40:014:009 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.

40:014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

40:014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

40:014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
and went and told Jesus.

40:014:013 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.

40:014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

40:014:015 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.

40:014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
to eat.

40:014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes.

40:014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.

40:014:019 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.

40:014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

40:014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children.

40:014:022 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.

40:014:023 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.

40:014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.

40:014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.

40:014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

40:014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

40:014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.

40:014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

40:014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

40:014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
didst thou doubt?

40:014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

40:014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

40:014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.

40:014:035 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;

40:014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

40:015:001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,

40:015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

40:015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?

40:015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

40:015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

40:015:006 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.

40:015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

40:015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

40:015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.

40:015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:

40:015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

40:015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

40:015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

40:015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

40:015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
parable.

40:015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

40:015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

40:015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the man.

40:015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

40:015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.

40:015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
and Sidon.

40:015:022 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.

40:015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

40:015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.

40:015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

40:015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

40:015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.

40:015:028 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.

40:015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
