42:019:006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

42:019:007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was
gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

42:019:008 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any
thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him
fourfold.

42:019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

42:019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
lost.

42:019:011 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable,
because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought
that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

42:019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

42:019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

42:019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,
saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

42:019:015 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having
received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might
know how much every man had gained by trading.

42:019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds.

42:019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou
hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over
ten cities.

42:019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds.

42:019:019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

42:019:020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound,
which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

42:019:021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou
takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou
didst not sow.

42:019:022 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge
thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere
man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did
not sow:

42:019:023 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at
my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

42:019:024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound,
and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

42:019:025 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

42:019:026 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be
given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be
taken away from him.

42:019:027 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign
over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

42:019:028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to
Jerusalem.

42:019:029 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two
of his disciples,

42:019:030 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which
at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never
man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

42:019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say
unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

42:019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he
had said unto them.

42:019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said
unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

42:019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

42:019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments
upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

42:019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

42:019:037 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to
rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen;

42:019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the
Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

42:019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto
him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

42:019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

42:019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over
it,

42:019:042 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy
day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are
hid from thine eyes.

42:019:043 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall
cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep
thee in on every side,

42:019:044 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children
within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

42:019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that
sold therein, and them that bought;

42:019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

42:019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and
the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

42:019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.

42:020:001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught
the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief
priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

42:020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

42:020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one
thing; and answer me:

42:020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

42:020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

42:020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for
they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

42:020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

42:020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things.

42:020:009 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain
man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and
went into a far country for a long time.

42:020:010 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that
they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the
husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

42:020:011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and
entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

42:020:012 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast
him out.

42:020:013 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will
send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when
they see him.

42:020:014 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among
themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him,
that the inheritance may be ours.

42:020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

42:020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the
vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God
forbid.

42:020:017 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is
written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner?

42:020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

42:020:019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to
lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they
perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

42:020:020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign
themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words,
that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of
the governor.

42:020:021 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest
and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of
any, but teachest the way of God truly:

42:020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

42:020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
tempt ye me?

42:020:024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They
answered and said, Caesar's.

42:020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

42:020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people:
and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

42:020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that
there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

42:020:028 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die,
having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

42:020:029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a
wife, and died without children.

42:020:030 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

42:020:031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and
they left no children, and died.

42:020:032 Last of all the woman died also.

42:020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for
seven had her to wife.

42:020:034 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage:

42:020:035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are
given in marriage:

42:020:036 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the
angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection.

42:020:037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

42:020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all
live unto him.

42:020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast
well said.

42:020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

42:020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's
son?

42:020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

42:020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

42:020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

42:020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
disciples,

42:020:046 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and
love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

42:020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers:
the same shall receive greater damnation.

42:021:001 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts
into the treasury.

42:021:002 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two
mites.

42:021:003 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow
hath cast in more than they all:

42:021:004 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the
offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the
living that she had.

42:021:005 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts, he said,

42:021:006 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in
the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.

42:021:007 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these
things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall
come to pass?

42:021:008 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth
near: go ye not therefore after them.

42:021:009 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not
terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the
end is not by and by.

42:021:010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:

42:021:011 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven.

42:021:012 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's
sake.

42:021:013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

42:021:014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before
what ye shall answer:

42:021:015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

42:021:016 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be
put to death.

42:021:017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

42:021:018 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

42:021:019 In your patience possess ye your souls.

42:021:020 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

42:021:021 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not
them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

42:021:022 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled.

42:021:023 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the
land, and wrath upon this people.

42:021:024 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled.

42:021:025 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

42:021:026 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken.

42:021:027 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.

42:021:028 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

42:021:029 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all
the trees;

42:021:030 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves
that summer is now nigh at hand.

42:021:031 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye
that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

42:021:032 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
till all be fulfilled.

42:021:033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
away.

42:021:034 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

42:021:035 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth.

42:021:036 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of man.

42:021:037 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at
night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the
mount of Olives.

42:021:038 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
temple, for to hear him.

42:022:001 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called
the Passover.

42:022:002 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill
him; for they feared the people.

42:022:003 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the
number of the twelve.

42:022:004 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and
captains, how he might betray him unto them.

42:022:005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

42:022:006 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto
them in the absence of the multitude.

42:022:007 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must
be killed.

42:022:008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
passover, that we may eat.

42:022:009 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

42:022:010 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he entereth in.

42:022:011 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat
the passover with my disciples?

42:022:012 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make
ready.

42:022:013 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.

42:022:014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
apostles with him.

42:022:015 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this
passover with you before I suffer:

42:022:016 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it
be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

42:022:017 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and
divide it among yourselves:

42:022:018 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God shall come.

42:022:019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave
unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.

42:022:020 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

42:022:021 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
the table.

42:022:022 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe
unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

42:022:023 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it
was that should do this thing.

42:022:024 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest.

42:022:025 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them
are called benefactors.

42:022:026 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let
him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth
serve.

42:022:027 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as
he that serveth.

42:022:028 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

42:022:029 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed
unto me;

42:022:030 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit
on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

42:022:031 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

42:022:032 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

42:022:033 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both
into prison, and to death.

42:022:034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this
day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

42:022:035 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and
scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

42:022:036 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword,
let him sell his garment, and buy one.

42:022:037 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be
accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the
transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

42:022:038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said
unto them, It is enough.

42:022:039 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of
Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

42:022:040 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye
enter not into temptation.

42:022:041 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and
kneeled down, and prayed,

42:022:042 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

42:022:043 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.

42:022:044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat
was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the
ground.

42:022:045 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

42:022:046 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter
into temptation.

42:022:047 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.

42:022:048 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
with a kiss?

42:022:049 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they
said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

42:022:050 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut
off his right ear.

42:022:051 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed him.

42:022:052 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the
temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come
out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

42:022:053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no
hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.

42:022:054 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high
priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

42:022:055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and
were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

42:022:056 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and
earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with
him.

42:022:057 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

42:022:058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art
also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

42:022:059 And about the space of one hour after another confidently
affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him:
for he is a Galilaean.
