42:014:007 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he
marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
42:014:008 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in
the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;
42:014:009 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this
man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
42:014:010 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee,
Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the
presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
42:014:012 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a
dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren,
neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also
bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
42:014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
lame, the blind:
42:014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
42:014:015 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these
things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread
in the kingdom of God.
42:014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and
bade many:
42:014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were
bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
42:014:018 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first
said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must
needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
42:014:019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to
prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
42:014:020 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
cannot come.
42:014:021 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then
the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go
out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring
in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the
blind.
42:014:022 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded,
and yet there is room.
42:014:023 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways
and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be
filled.
42:014:024 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden
shall taste of my supper.
42:014:025 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and
said unto them,
42:014:026 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and
his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
42:014:027 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.
42:014:028 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down
first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to
finish it?
42:014:029 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able
to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
42:014:030 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
42:014:031 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth
not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten
thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty
thousand?
42:014:032 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an
ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
42:014:033 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all
that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
42:014:034 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be seasoned?
42:014:035 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but
men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
42:015:001 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to
hear him.
42:015:002 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man
receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
42:015:003 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
42:015:004 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of
them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness,
and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
42:015:005 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,
rejoicing.
42:015:006 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and
neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have
found my sheep which was lost.
42:015:007 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just
persons, which need no repentance.
42:015:008 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one
piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek
diligently till she find it?
42:015:009 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her
neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found
the piece which I had lost.
42:015:010 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
42:015:011 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
42:015:012 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me
the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto
them his living.
42:015:013 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his
substance with riotous living.
42:015:014 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that
land; and he began to be in want.
42:015:015 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
42:015:016 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that
the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
42:015:017 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants
of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish
with hunger!
42:015:018 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
42:015:019 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of
thy hired servants.
42:015:020 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a
great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and
ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
42:015:021 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called
thy son.
42:015:022 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes
on his feet:
42:015:023 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat,
and be merry:
42:015:024 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and
is found. And they began to be merry.
42:015:025 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew
nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
42:015:026 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
meant.
42:015:027 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath
killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and
sound.
42:015:028 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his
father out, and intreated him.
42:015:029 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I
serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy
commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might
make merry with my friends:
42:015:030 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy
living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
42:015:031 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that
I have is thine.
42:015:032 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this
thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is
found.
42:016:001 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich
man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him
that he had wasted his goods.
42:016:002 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear
this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou
mayest be no longer steward.
42:016:003 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my
lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg
I am ashamed.
42:016:004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the
stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
42:016:005 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and
said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
42:016:006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
42:016:007 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said,
An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy
bill, and write fourscore.
42:016:008 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done
wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light.
42:016:009 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon
of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you
into everlasting habitations.
42:016:010 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in
much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much.
42:016:011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
42:016:012 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
42:016:013 No servant 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.
42:016:014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these
things: and they derided him.
42:016:015 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves
before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is
highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
42:016:016 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
42:016:017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle
of the law to fail.
42:016:018 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put
away from her husband committeth adultery.
42:016:019 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and
fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
42:016:020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
at his gate, full of sores,
42:016:021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
42:016:022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
42:016:023 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
42:016:024 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
42:016:025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
42:016:026 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
42:016:027 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send him to my father's house:
42:016:028 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
42:016:029 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let
them hear them.
42:016:030 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them
from the dead, they will repent.
42:016:031 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
42:017:001 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that
offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
42:017:002 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one
of these little ones.
42:017:003 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee,
rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
42:017:004 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and
seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;
thou shalt forgive him.
42:017:005 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
42:017:006 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by
the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey
you.
42:017:007 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle,
will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field,
Go and sit down to meat?
42:017:008 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may
sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and
drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
42:017:009 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were
commanded him? I trow not.
42:017:010 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which
are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have
done that which was our duty to do.
42:017:011 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
42:017:012 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten
men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
42:017:013 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us.
42:017:014 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves
unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went,
they were cleansed.
42:017:015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
and with a loud voice glorified God,
42:017:016 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and
he was a Samaritan.
42:017:017 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but
where are the nine?
42:017:018 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save
this stranger.
42:017:019 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made
thee whole.
42:017:020 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of
God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation:
42:017:021 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you.
42:017:022 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye
shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye
shall not see it.
42:017:023 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not
after them, nor follow them.
42:017:024 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part
under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so
shall also the Son of man be in his day.
42:017:025 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this
generation.
42:017:026 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of man.
42:017:027 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given
in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and
the flood came, and destroyed them all.
42:017:028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they
drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
42:017:029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
42:017:030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed.
42:017:031 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his
stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and
he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
42:017:032 Remember Lot's wife.
42:017:033 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and
whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
42:017:034 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed;
the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
42:017:035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
42:017:036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
42:017:037 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said
unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be
gathered together.
42:018:001 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought
always to pray, and not to faint;
42:018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,
neither regarded man:
42:018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him,
saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
42:018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within
himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
42:018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest
by her continual coming she weary me.
42:018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
42:018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
night unto him, though he bear long with them?
42:018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
42:018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
42:018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
and the other a publican.
42:018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust,
adulterers, or even as this publican.
42:018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
42:018:013 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying,
God be merciful to me a sinner.
42:018:014 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather
than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be
abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
42:018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch
them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
42:018:016 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
the kingdom of God.
42:018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
42:018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall
I do to inherit eternal life?
42:018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is
good, save one, that is, God.
42:018:020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy
father and thy mother.
42:018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
42:018:022 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet
lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and
distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, follow me.
42:018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very
rich.
42:018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of
God!
42:018:025 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
42:018:026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
42:018:027 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are
possible with God.
42:018:028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
42:018:029 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man
that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or
children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
42:018:030 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and
in the world to come life everlasting.
42:018:031 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold,
we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the
prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
42:018:032 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be
mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
42:018:033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the
third day he shall rise again.
42:018:034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was
hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
42:018:035 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
42:018:036 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
42:018:037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
42:018:038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on
me.
42:018:039 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold
his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David,
have mercy on me.
42:018:040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and
when he was come near, he asked him,
42:018:041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said,
Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42:018:042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath
saved thee.
42:018:043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him,
glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave
praise unto God.
42:019:001 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
42:019:002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
42:019:003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the
press, because he was little of stature.
42:019:004 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see
him: for he was to pass that way.
42:019:005 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,
and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for
to day I must abide at thy house.
