Luk:1:1: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed
among us,~
Luk:1:2: Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;~
Luk:1:3: It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding
of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most
excellent Theophilus,~
Luk:1:4: That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast been instructed.~
Luk:1:5: THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain
priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of
the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.~
Luk:1:6: And they were both righteous before God, walking in all
the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.~
Luk:1:7: And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they both were now well stricken in years.~
Luk:1:8: And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office before God in the order of his course,~
Luk:1:9: According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot
was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.~
Luk:1:10: And the whole multitude of the people were praying without
at the time of incense.~
Luk:1:11: And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing
on the right side of the altar of incense.~
Luk:1:12: And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
upon him.~
Luk:1:13: But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy
prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and
thou shalt call his name John.~
Luk:1:14: And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
at his birth.~
Luk:1:15: For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with
the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.~
Luk:1:16: And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord their God.~
Luk:1:17: And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient
to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the
Lord.~
Luk:1:18: And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know
this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.~
Luk:1:19: And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and
to shew thee these glad tidings.~
Luk:1:20: And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,
until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.~
Luk:1:21: And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that
he tarried so long in the temple.~
Luk:1:22: And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and
they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned
unto them, and remained speechless.~
Luk:1:23: And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration
were accomplished, he departed to his own house.~
Luk:1:24: And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and
hid herself five months, saying,~
Luk:1:25: Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he
looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.~
Luk:1:26: And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,~
Luk:1:27: To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of
the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.~
Luk:1:28: And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that
art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.~
Luk:1:29: And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and
cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.~
Luk:1:30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.~
Luk:1:31: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.~
Luk:1:32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:~
Luk:1:33: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and
of his kingdom there shall be no end.~
Luk:1:34: Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing
I know not a man?~
Luk:1:35: And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God.~
Luk:1:36: And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived
a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was
called barren.~
Luk:1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.~
Luk:1:38: And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto
me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.~
Luk:1:39: And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
with haste, into a city of Juda;~
Luk:1:40: And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.~
Luk:1:41: And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation
of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with
the Holy Ghost:~
Luk:1:42: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed
art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.~
Luk:1:43: And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me?~
Luk:1:44: For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded
in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.~
Luk:1:45: And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.~
Luk:1:46: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,~
Luk:1:47: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.~
Luk:1:48: For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:
for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.~
Luk:1:49: For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and
holy is his name.~
Luk:1:50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation
to generation.~
Luk:1:51: He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts.~
Luk:1:52: He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted
them of low degree.~
Luk:1:53: He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich
he hath sent empty away.~
Luk:1:54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy;~
Luk:1:55: As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed
for ever.~
Luk:1:56: And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned
to her own house.~
Luk:1:57: Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a son.~
Luk:1:58: And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.~
Luk:1:59: And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name
of his father.~
Luk:1:60: And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall
be called John.~
Luk:1:61: And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that
is called by this name.~
Luk:1:62: And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
called.~
Luk:1:63: And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His
name is John. And they marvelled all.~
Luk:1:64: And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
and he spake, and praised God.~
Luk:1:65: And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country
of Judaea.~
Luk:1:66: And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts,
saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord
was with him.~
Luk:1:67: And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,
and prophesied, saying,~
Luk:1:68: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited
and redeemed his people,~
Luk:1:69: And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house
of his servant David;~
Luk:1:70: As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have
been since the world began:~
Luk:1:71: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the
hand of all that hate us;~
Luk:1:72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;~
Luk:1:73: The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,~
Luk:1:74: That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out
of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,~
Luk:1:75: In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days
of our life.~
Luk:1:76: And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;~
Luk:1:77: To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission
of their sins,~
Luk:1:78: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us,~
Luk:1:79: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.~
Luk:1:80: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was
in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.~
Luk:2:1: And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.~
Luk:2:2: (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.)~
Luk:2:3: And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.~
Luk:2:4: And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)~
Luk:2:5: To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.~
Luk:2:6: And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.~
Luk:2:7: And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was
no room for them in the inn.~
Luk:2:8: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.~
Luk:2:9: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.~
Luk:2:10: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.~
Luk:2:11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.~
Luk:2:12: And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.~
Luk:2:13: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,~
Luk:2:14: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.~
Luk:2:15: And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which
the Lord hath made known unto us.~
Luk:2:16: And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.~
Luk:2:17: And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.~
Luk:2:18: And all they that heard it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.~
Luk:2:19: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.~
Luk:2:20: And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto
them.~
Luk:2:21: And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising
of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the womb.~
Luk:2:22: And when the days of her purification according to the
law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present him to the Lord;~
Luk:2:23: (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)~
Luk:2:24: And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said
in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.~
Luk:2:25: And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation
of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.~
Luk:2:26: And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.~
Luk:2:27: And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom
of the law,~
Luk:2:28: Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,~
Luk:2:29: Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
to thy word:~
Luk:2:30: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,~
Luk:2:31: Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;~
Luk:2:32: A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel.~
Luk:2:33: And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which
were spoken of him.~
Luk:2:34: And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in
Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;~
Luk:2:35: (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.~
Luk:2:36: And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with
an husband seven years from her virginity;~
Luk:2:37: And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years,
which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings
and prayers night and day.~
Luk:2:38: And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto
the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
in Jerusalem.~
Luk:2:39: And when they had performed all things according to the
law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.~
Luk:2:40: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.~
Luk:2:41: Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast
of the passover.~
Luk:2:42: And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the feast.~
Luk:2:43: And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,
the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother
knew not of it.~
Luk:2:44: But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went
a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.~
Luk:2:45: And when they found him not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him.~
Luk:2:46: And it came to pass, that after three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.~
Luk:2:47: And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
and answers.~
Luk:2:48: And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother
said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy
father and I have sought thee sorrowing.~
Luk:2:49: And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist
ye not that I must be about my Father's business?~
Luk:2:50: And they understood not the saying which he spake unto
them.~
Luk:2:51: And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was
subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.~
Luk:2:52: And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour
with God and man.~
Luk:3:1: Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch
of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the
region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,~
Luk:3:2: Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.~
Luk:3:3: And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching
the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;~
Luk:3:4: As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.~
Luk:3:5: Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill
shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and
the rough ways shall be made smooth;~
Luk:3:6: And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.~
Luk:3:7: Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from
the wrath to come?~
Luk:3:8: Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
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.~
Luk:3:9: And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.~
Luk:3:10: And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?~
Luk:3:11: He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats,
let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let
him do likewise.~
Luk:3:12: Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto
him, Master, what shall we do?~
Luk:3:13: And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.~
Luk:3:14: And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And
what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither
accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.~
Luk:3:15: And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused
in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;~
Luk:3:16: John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you
with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost and with fire:~
Luk:3:17: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he
will burn with fire unquenchable.~
Luk:3:18: And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto
the people.~
Luk:3:19: But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias
his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done,~
Luk:3:20: Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.~
Luk:3:21: Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,
that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,~
Luk:3:22: And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
Son; in thee I am well pleased.~
Luk:3:23: And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,
being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,~
Luk:3:24: Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was
the son of Joseph,~
Luk:3:25: Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos,
which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the

Luk:3:26: Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias,
which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was
the son of Juda,~
Luk:3:27: Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa,
which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which
was the son of Neri,~
Luk:3:28: Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi,
which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was
the son of Er,~
Luk:3:29: Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer,
which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was
the son of Levi,~
Luk:3:30: Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda,
which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was
the son of Eliakim,~
Luk:3:31: Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan,
which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which
was the son of David,~
Luk:3:32: Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed,
which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was
the son of Naasson,~
Luk:3:33: Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,
which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was
the son of Juda,~
Luk:3:34: Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac,
which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was
the son of Nachor,~
Luk:3:35: Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau,
which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was
the son of Sala,~
Luk:3:36: Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,
which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the
son of Lamech,~
Luk:3:37: Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch,
which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which
was the son of Cainan,~
Luk:3:38: Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which
was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.~
Luk:4:1: And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,~
Luk:4:2: Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days
he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.~
Luk:4:3: And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that it be made bread.~
Luk:4:4: And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.~
Luk:4:5: And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.~
Luk:4:6: And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give
thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it.~
Luk:4:7: If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.~
Luk:4:8: And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.~
Luk:4:9: And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle
of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence:~
Luk:4:10: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee:~
Luk:4:11: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone.~
Luk:4:12: And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God.~
Luk:4:13: And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
from him for a season.~
Luk:4:14: And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee:
and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.~
Luk:4:15: And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.~
Luk:4:16: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath
day, and stood up for to read.~
Luk:4:17: And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet
Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where
it was written,~
Luk:4:18: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,~
Luk:4:19: To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.~
Luk:4:20: And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him.~
Luk:4:21: And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.~
Luk:4:22: And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?~
Luk:4:23: And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in
Capernaum, do also here in thy country.~
Luk:4:24: And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted
in his own country.~
Luk:4:25: But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in
the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six
months, when great famine was throughout all the land;~
Luk:4:26: But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta,
a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.~
Luk:4:27: And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.~
Luk:4:28: And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath,~
Luk:4:29: And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him
unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they
might cast him down headlong.~
Luk:4:30: But he passing through the midst of them went his way,~
Luk:4:31: And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught
them on the sabbath days.~
Luk:4:32: And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word
was with power.~
Luk:4:33: And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit
of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,~
Luk:4:34: Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou
Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou
art; the Holy One of God.~
Luk:4:35: And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come
out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came
out of him, and hurt him not.~
Luk:4:36: And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying,
What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the
unclean spirits, and they come out.~
Luk:4:37: And the fame of him went out into every place of the country
round about.~
Luk:4:38: And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's
house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and
they besought him for her.~
Luk:4:39: And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left
her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.~
Luk:4:40: Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick
with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands
on every one of them, and healed them.~
Luk:4:41: And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying,
Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them
not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.~
Luk:4:42: And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert
place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him,
that he should not depart from them.~
Luk:4:43: And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God
to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.~
Luk:4:44: And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.~
Luk:5:1: And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him
to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,~
Luk:5:2: And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen
were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.~
Luk:5:3: And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's,
and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And
he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.~
Luk:5:4: Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch
out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.~
Luk:5:5: And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled
all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I
will let down the net.~
Luk:5:6: And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude
of fishes: and their net brake.~
Luk:5:7: And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the
other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and
filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.~
Luk:5:8: When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.~
Luk:5:9: For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
draught of the fishes which they had taken:~
Luk:5:10: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which
were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
henceforth thou shalt catch men.~
Luk:5:11: And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
all, and followed him.~
Luk:5:12: And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold
a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought
him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.~
Luk:5:13: And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will:
be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.~
Luk:5:14: And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself
to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.~
Luk:5:15: But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and
great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of
their infirmities.~
Luk:5:16: And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.~
Luk:5:17: And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching,
that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which
were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem:
and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.~
Luk:5:18: And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken
with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him
before him.~
Luk:5:19: And when they could not find by what way they might bring
him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and
let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before
Jesus.~
Luk:5:20: And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy
sins are forgiven thee.~
Luk:5:21: And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying,
Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
God alone?~
Luk:5:22: But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?~
Luk:5:23: Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
to say, Rise up and walk?~
Luk:5:24: But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon
earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.~
Luk:5:25: And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.~
Luk:5:26: And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.~
Luk:5:27: And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican,
named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him,
Follow me.~
Luk:5:28: And he left all, rose up, and followed him.~
Luk:5:29: And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there
was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with
them.~
Luk:5:30: But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples,
saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?~
Luk:5:31: And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole
need not a physician; but they that are sick.~
Luk:5:32: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.~
Luk:5:33: And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast
often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees;
but thine eat and drink?~
Luk:5:34: And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?~
Luk:5:35: But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.~
Luk:5:36: And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a
piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new
maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth
not with the old.~
Luk:5:37: And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the
new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles
shall perish.~
Luk:5:38: But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.~
Luk:5:39: No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth
new: for he saith, The old is better.~
Luk:6:1: And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first,
that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the
ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.~
Luk:6:2: And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?~
Luk:6:3: And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much
as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which
were with him;~
Luk:6:4: How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat
the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it
is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?~
Luk:6:5: And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also
of the sabbath.~
Luk:6:6: And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered
into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand
was withered.~
Luk:6:7: And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would
heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against
him.~
Luk:6:8: But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had
the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he
arose and stood forth.~
Luk:6:9: Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is
it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save
life, or to destroy it?~
Luk:6:10: And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the
man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored
whole as the other.~
Luk:6:11: And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
another what they might do to Jesus.~
Luk:6:12: And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into
a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.~
Luk:6:13: And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples:
and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;~
Luk:6:14: Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,~
Luk:6:15: Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,~
Luk:6:16: And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which
also was the traitor.~
Luk:6:17: And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and
the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out
of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;~
Luk:6:18: And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they
were healed.~
Luk:6:19: And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there
went virtue out of him, and healed them all.~
Luk:6:20: And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.~
Luk:6:21: Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.~
Luk:6:22: Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they
shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and
cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.~
Luk:6:23: Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold,
your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.~
Luk:6:24: But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
consolation.~
Luk:6:25: Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto
you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.~
Luk:6:26: Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for
so did their fathers to the false prophets.~
Luk:6:27: But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good
to them which hate you,~
Luk:6:28: Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you.~
Luk:6:29: And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also
the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also.~
Luk:6:30: Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that
taketh away thy goods ask them not again.~
Luk:6:31: And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to
them likewise.~
Luk:6:32: For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?
for sinners also love those that love them.~
Luk:6:33: And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also do even the same.~
Luk:6:34: And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what
thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much
again.~
Luk:6:35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping
for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be
the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and
to the evil.~
Luk:6:36: Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.~
Luk:6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:~
Luk:6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into
your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall
be measured to you again.~
Luk:6:39: And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?~
Luk:6:40: The disciple is not above his master: but every one that
is perfect shall be as his master.~
Luk:6:41: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's
eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?~
Luk:6:42: Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let
me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest
not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first
the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to
pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.~
Luk:6:43: For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither
doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.~
Luk:6:44: For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns
men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.~
Luk:6:45: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure
of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance
of the heart his mouth speaketh.~
Luk:6:46: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which
I say?~
Luk:6:47: Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
them, I will shew you to whom he is like:~
Luk:6:48: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep,
and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the
stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for
it was founded upon a rock.~
Luk:6:49: But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that
without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which
the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the
ruin of that house was great.~
Luk:7:1: Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of
the people, he entered into Capernaum.~
Luk:7:2: And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him,
was sick, and ready to die.~
Luk:7:3: And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.~
Luk:7:4: And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:~
Luk:7:5: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.~
Luk:7:6: Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from
the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord,
trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter
under my roof:~
Luk:7:7: Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.~
Luk:7:8: For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come,
and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.~
Luk:7:9: When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and
turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.~
Luk:7:10: And they that were sent, returning to the house, found
the servant whole that had been sick.~
Luk:7:11: And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a
city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much
people.~
Luk:7:12: Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold,
there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.~
Luk:7:13: And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and
said unto her, Weep not.~
Luk:7:14: And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him
stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.~
Luk:7:15: And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.~
Luk:7:16: And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited
his people.~
Luk:7:17: And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea,
and throughout all the region round about.~
Luk:7:18: And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.~
Luk:7:19: And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them
to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?~
Luk:7:20: When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist
hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or
look we for another?~
Luk:7:21: And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities
and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he
gave sight.~
Luk:7:22: Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see,
the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are
raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.~
Luk:7:23: And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.~
Luk:7:24: And when the messengers of John were departed, he began
to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the
wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?~
Luk:7:25: But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately,
are in kings' courts.~
Luk:7:26: But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
unto you, and much more than a prophet.~
Luk:7:27: This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.~
Luk:7:28: For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women
there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that
is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.~
Luk:7:29: And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified
God, being baptized with the baptism of John.~
Luk:7:30: But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves, being not baptized of him.~
Luk:7:31: And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men
of this generation? and to what are they like?~
Luk:7:32: They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace,
and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and
ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.~
Luk:7:33: For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.~
Luk:7:34: The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say,
Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans
and sinners!~
Luk:7:35: But wisdom is justified of all her children.~
Luk:7:36: And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat
with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.~
Luk:7:37: And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when
she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment,~
Luk:7:38: And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to
wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her
head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.~
Luk:7:39: Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake
within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have
known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for
she is a sinner.~
Luk:7:40: And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat
to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.~
Luk:7:41: There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the
one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.~
Luk:7:42: And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?~
Luk:7:43: Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he
forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.~
Luk:7:44: And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest
thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water
for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them
with the hairs of her head.~
Luk:7:45: Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I
came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.~
Luk:7:46: My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman
hath anointed my feet with ointment.~
Luk:7:47: Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the
same loveth little.~
Luk:7:48: And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.~
Luk:7:49: And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?~
Luk:7:50: And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go
in peace.~
Luk:8:1: And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom
of God: and the twelve were with him,~
Luk:8:2: And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,~
Luk:8:3: And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna,
and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.~
Luk:8:4: And when much people were gathered together, and were come
to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:~
Luk:8:5: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some
fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the
air devoured it.~
Luk:8:6: And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung
up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.~
Luk:8:7: And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with
it, and choked it.~
Luk:8:8: And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit
an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that
hath ears to hear, let him hear.~
Luk:8:9: And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
be?~
Luk:8:10: And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they
might not see, and hearing they might not understand.~
Luk:8:11: Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.~
Luk:8:12: Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the
devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
believe and be saved.~
Luk:8:13: They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive
the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe,
and in time of temptation fall away.~
Luk:8:14: And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when
they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.~
Luk:8:15: But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest
and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit
with patience.~
Luk:8:16: No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with
a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick,
that they which enter in may see the light.~
Luk:8:17: For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.~
Luk:8:18: Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to
him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have.~
Luk:8:19: Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could
not come at him for the press.~
Luk:8:20: And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and
thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.~
Luk:8:21: And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
are these which hear the word of God, and do it.~
Luk:8:22: Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into
a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over
unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.~
Luk:8:23: But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down
a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and
were in jeopardy.~
Luk:8:24: And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,
we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of
the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.~
Luk:8:25: And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being
afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this!
for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.~
Luk:8:26: And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which
is over against Galilee.~
Luk:8:27: And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the
city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes,
neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.~
Luk:8:28: When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him,
and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou
Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.~
Luk:8:29: (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of
the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound
with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven
of the devil into the wilderness.)~
Luk:8:30: And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered into him.~
Luk:8:31: And they besought him that he would not command them to
go out into the deep.~
Luk:8:32: And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter
into them. And he suffered them.~
Luk:8:33: Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the
swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake,
and were choked.~
Luk:8:34: When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and
went and told it in the city and in the country.~
Luk:8:35: Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting
at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were
afraid.~
Luk:8:36: They also which saw it told them by what means he that
was possessed of the devils was healed.~
Luk:8:37: Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes
round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken
with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back
again.~
Luk:8:38: Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought
him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,~
Luk:8:39: Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God
hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.~
Luk:8:40: And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the
people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.~
Luk:8:41: And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was
a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought
him that he would come into his house:~
Luk:8:42: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,
and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.~
Luk:8:43: And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which
had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed
of any,~
Luk:8:44: Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of blood stanched.~
Luk:8:45: And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter
and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee
and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?~
Luk:8:46: And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive
that virtue is gone out of me.~
Luk:8:47: And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling,
and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the
people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed
immediately.~
Luk:8:48: And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy
faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.~
Luk:8:49: While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of
the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble
not the Master.~
Luk:8:50: But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear
not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.~
Luk:8:51: And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to
go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother
of the maiden.~
Luk:8:52: And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not;
she is not dead, but sleepeth.~
Luk:8:53: And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.~
Luk:8:54: And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and
called, saying, Maid, arise.~
Luk:8:55: And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and
he commanded to give her meat.~
Luk:8:56: And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that
they should tell no man what was done.~
Luk:9:1: Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.~
Luk:9:2: And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal
the sick.~
Luk:9:3: And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two
coats apiece.~
Luk:9:4: And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
depart.~
Luk:9:5: And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that
city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against
them.~
Luk:9:6: And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching
the gospel, and healing every where.~
Luk:9:7: Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him:
and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John
was risen from the dead;~
Luk:9:8: And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that
one of the old prophets was risen again.~
Luk:9:9: And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of
whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.~
Luk:9:10: And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all
that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into
a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.~
Luk:9:11: And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed
them that had need of healing.~
Luk:9:12: And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve,
and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into
the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for
we are here in a desert place.~
Luk:9:13: But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said,
We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should
go and buy meat for all this people.~
Luk:9:14: For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.~
Luk:9:15: And they did so, and made them all sit down.~
Luk:9:16: Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking
up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples
to set before the multitude.~
Luk:9:17: And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken
up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.~
Luk:9:18: And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that
I am?~
Luk:9:19: They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.~
Luk:9:20: He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of God.~
Luk:9:21: And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell
no man that thing;~
Luk:9:22: Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain,
and be raised the third day.~
Luk:9:23: And he said to them all, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.~
Luk:9:24: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.~
Luk:9:25: For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world,
and lose himself, or be cast away?~
Luk:9:26: For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of
him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own
glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.~
Luk:9:27: But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here,
which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.~
Luk:9:28: And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,
he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to
pray.~
Luk:9:29: And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white and glistering.~
Luk:9:30: And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were
Moses and Elias:~
Luk:9:31: Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem.~
Luk:9:32: But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that
stood with him.~
Luk:9:33: And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:
not knowing what he said.~
Luk:9:34: While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.~
Luk:9:35: And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is
my beloved Son: hear him.~
Luk:9:36: And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And
they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things
which they had seen.~
Luk:9:37: And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were
come down from the hill, much people met him.~
Luk:9:38: And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master,
I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.~
Luk:9:39: And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out;
and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly
departeth from him.~
Luk:9:40: And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they
could not.~
Luk:9:41: And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.~
Luk:9:42: And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and
tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child,
and delivered him again to his father.~
Luk:9:43: And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But
while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said
unto his disciples,~
Luk:9:44: Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son
of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.~
Luk:9:45: But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from
them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that
saying.~
Luk:9:46: Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them
should be greatest.~
Luk:9:47: And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took
a child, and set him by him,~
Luk:9:48: And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child
in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth
him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall
be great.~
Luk:9:49: And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting
out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not
with us.~
Luk:9:50: And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is
not against us is for us.~
Luk:9:51: And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should
be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,~
Luk:9:52: And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.~
Luk:9:53: And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem.~
Luk:9:54: And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them, even as Elias did?~
Luk:9:55: But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not
what manner of spirit ye are of.~
Luk:9:56: For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives,
but to save them. And they went to another village.~
Luk:9:57: And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain
man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.~
Luk:9:58: And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of
the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his
head.~
Luk:9:59: And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father.~
Luk:9:60: Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but
go thou and preach the kingdom of God.~
Luk:9:61: And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let
me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.~
Luk:9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to
the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.~
Luk:10:1: After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also,
and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place,
whither he himself would come.~
Luk:10:2: Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great,
but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.~
Luk:10:3: Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.~
Luk:10:4: Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no
man by the way.~
Luk:10:5: And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be
to this house.~
Luk:10:6: And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest
upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.~
Luk:10:7: And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such
things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not
from house to house.~
Luk:10:8: And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you,
eat such things as are set before you:~
Luk:10:9: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them,
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.~
Luk:10:10: But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you
not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,~
Luk:10:11: Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us,
we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that
the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.~
Luk:10:12: But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in
that day for Sodom, than for that city.~
Luk:10:13: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for
if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been
done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth
and ashes.~
Luk:10:14: But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
judgment, than for you.~
Luk:10:15: And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt
be thrust down to hell.~
Luk:10:16: He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth
you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
me.~
Luk:10:17: And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord,
even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.~
Luk:10:18: And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven.~
Luk:10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall
by any means hurt you.~
Luk:10:20: Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are
written in heaven.~
Luk:10:21: In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank
thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes:
even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.~
Luk:10:22: All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man
knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but
the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.~
Luk:10:23: And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately,
Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:~
Luk:10:24: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings 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.~
Luk:10:25: And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?~
Luk:10:26: He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest
thou?~
Luk:10:27: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.~
Luk:10:28: And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do,
and thou shalt live.~
Luk:10:29: But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And
who is my neighbour?~
Luk:10:30: And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him
of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.~
Luk:10:31: And by chance there came down a certain priest that way:
and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.~
Luk:10:32: And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came
and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.~
Luk:10:33: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he
was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,~
Luk:10:34: And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.~
Luk:10:35: And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.~
Luk:10:36: Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves?~
Luk:10:37: And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus
unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.~
Luk:10:38: Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into
a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him
into her house.~
Luk:10:39: And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
feet, and heard his word.~
Luk:10:40: But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to
him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left
me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.~
Luk:10:41: And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about many things:~
Luk:10:42: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good
part, which shall not be taken away from her.~
Luk:11:1: And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain
place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.~
Luk:11:2: And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, as in heaven, so in earth.~
Luk:11:3: Give us day by day our daily bread.~
Luk:11:4: And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one
that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver
us from evil.~
Luk:11:5: And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,
and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend
me three loaves;~
Luk:11:6: For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and
I have nothing to set before him?~
Luk:11:7: And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not:
the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot
rise and give thee.~
Luk:11:8: I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because
he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and
give him as many as he needeth.~
Luk:11:9: And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.~
Luk:11:10: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.~
Luk:11:11: If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish
give him a serpent?~
Luk:11:12: Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?~
Luk:11:13: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask him?~
Luk:11:14: And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it
came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the
people wondered.~
Luk:11:15: But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub
the chief of the devils.~
Luk:11:16: And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.~
Luk:11:17: But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house
divided against a house falleth.~
Luk:11:18: If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.~
Luk:11:19: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.~
Luk:11:20: But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt
the kingdom of God is come upon you.~
Luk:11:21: When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods
are in peace:~
Luk:11:22: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome
him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth
his spoils.~
Luk:11:23: He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth.~
Luk:11:24: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will
return unto my house whence I came out.~
Luk:11:25: And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.~
Luk:11:26: Then goeth he, and taketh to him 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.~
Luk:11:27: And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain
woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed
is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.~
Luk:11:28: But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the
word of God, and keep it.~
Luk:11:29: And when the people were gathered thick together, he began
to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall
no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.~
Luk:11:30: For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also
the Son of man be to this generation.~
Luk:11:31: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with
the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the
utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold,
a greater than Solomon is here.~
Luk:11:32: The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching
of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.~
Luk:11:33: No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a
secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that
they which come in may see the light.~
Luk:11:34: The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine
eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine
eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.~
Luk:11:35: Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be
not darkness.~
Luk:11:36: If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no
part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining
of a candle doth give thee light.~
Luk:11:37: And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine
with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.~
Luk:11:38: And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had
not first washed before dinner.~
Luk:11:39: And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean
the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full
of ravening and wickedness.~
Luk:11:40: Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make
that which is within also?~
Luk:11:41: But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,
all things are clean unto you.~
Luk:11:42: But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue
and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.~
Luk:11:43: Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats
in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.~
Luk:11:44: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are
not aware of them.~
Luk:11:45: Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
thus saying thou reproachest us also.~
Luk:11:46: And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade
men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not
the burdens with one of your fingers.~
Luk:11:47: Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets,
and your fathers killed them.~
Luk:11:48: Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.~
Luk:11:49: Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them
prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:~
Luk:11:50: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from
the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;~
Luk:11:51: From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which
perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you,
It shall be required of this generation.~
Luk:11:52: Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key
of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering
in ye hindered.~
Luk:11:53: And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and
the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to
speak of many things:~
Luk:11:54: Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out
of his mouth, that they might accuse him.~
Luk:12:1: In the mean time, when there were gathered together an
innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon
another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware
ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.~
Luk:12:2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known.~
Luk:12:3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be
heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets
shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.~
Luk:12:4: And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that
kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.~
Luk:12:5: But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which
after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto
you, Fear him.~
Luk:12:6: Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one
of them is forgotten before God?~
Luk:12:7: But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.~
Luk:12:8: Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before
men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:~
Luk:12:9: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before
the angels of God.~
Luk:12:10: And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the
Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.~
Luk:12:11: And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto
magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye
shall answer, or what ye shall say:~
Luk:12:12: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what
ye ought to say.~
Luk:12:13: And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to
my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.~
Luk:12:14: And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider
over you?~
Luk:12:15: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which
he possesseth.~
Luk:12:16: And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of
a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:~
Luk:12:17: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?~
Luk:12:18: And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.~
Luk:12:19: And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.~
Luk:12:20: But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which
thou hast provided?~
Luk:12:21: So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not
rich toward God.~
Luk:12:22: And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the
body, what ye shall put on.~
Luk:12:23: The life is more than meat, and the body is more than
raiment.~
Luk:12:24: Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which
neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much
more are ye better than the fowls?~
Luk:12:25: And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature
one cubit?~
Luk:12:26: If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?~
Luk:12:27: Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they
spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.~
Luk:12:28: If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the
field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he
clothe you, O ye of little faith?~
Luk:12:29: And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.~
Luk:12:30: For all these things do the nations of the world seek
after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.~
Luk:12:31: But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things
shall be added unto you.~
Luk:12:32: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the kingdom.~
Luk:12:33: Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags
which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where
no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.~
Luk:12:34: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.~
Luk:12:35: Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;~
Luk:12:36: And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord,
when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.~
Luk:12:37: Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh
shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself,
and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve
them.~
Luk:12:38: And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the
third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.~
Luk:12:39: And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have
suffered his house to be broken through.~
Luk:12:40: Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh
at an hour when ye think not.~
Luk:12:41: Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable
unto us, or even to all?~
Luk:12:42: And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give
them their portion of meat in due season?~
Luk:12:43: Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.~
Luk:12:44: Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler
over all that he hath.~
Luk:12:45: But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;~
Luk:12:46: The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him
in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.~
Luk:12:47: And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared
not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with
many stripes.~
Luk:12:48: But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much
is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed
much, of him they will ask the more.~
Luk:12:49: I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I,
if it be already kindled?~
Luk:12:50: But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
straitened till it be accomplished!~
Luk:12:51: Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell
you, Nay; but rather division:~
Luk:12:52: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,
three against two, and two against three.~
Luk:12:53: The father shall be divided against the son, and the son
against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter
against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.~
Luk:12:54: And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise
out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so
it is.~
Luk:12:55: And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will
be heat; and it cometh to pass.~
Luk:12:56: Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and
of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?~
Luk:12:57: Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?~
Luk:12:58: When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate,
as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered
from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.~
Luk:12:59: I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast
paid the very last mite.~
Luk:13:1: There were present at that season some that told him of
the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.~
Luk:13:2: And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these
Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered
such things?~
Luk:13:3: I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.~
Luk:13:4: Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell,
and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that
dwelt in Jerusalem?~
Luk:13:5: I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.~
Luk:13:6: He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree
planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and
found none.~
Luk:13:7: Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold,
these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find
none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?~
Luk:13:8: And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this
year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:~
Luk:13:9: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that
thou shalt cut it down.~
Luk:13:10: And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.~
Luk:13:11: And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift
up herself.~
Luk:13:12: And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said
unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.~
Luk:13:13: And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was
made straight, and glorified God.~
Luk:13:14: And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,
because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the
people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore
come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.~
Luk:13:15: The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite,
doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from
the stall, and lead him away to watering?~
Luk:13:16: And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day?~
Luk:13:17: And when he had said these things, all his adversaries
were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things
that were done by him.~
Luk:13:18: Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and
whereunto shall I resemble it?~
Luk:13:19: It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and
the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.~
Luk:13:20: And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom
of God?~
Luk:13:21: It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.~
Luk:13:22: And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,
and journeying toward Jerusalem.~
Luk:13:23: Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved?
And he said unto them,~
Luk:13:24: Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say
unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.~
Luk:13:25: When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath
shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at
the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and
say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:~
Luk:13:26: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in
thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.~
Luk:13:27: But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye
are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.~
Luk:13:28: There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye
shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in
the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.~
Luk:13:29: And they shall come from the east, and from the west,
and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God.~
Luk:13:30: And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and
there are first which shall be last.~
Luk:13:31: The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying
unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.~
Luk:13:32: And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold,
I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third
day I shall be perfected.~
Luk:13:33: Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the
day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.~
Luk:13:34: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and
stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered
thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings,
and ye would not!~
Luk:13:35: Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily
I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.~
Luk:14:1: And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of
the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched
him.~
Luk:14:2: And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had
the dropsy.~
Luk:14:3: And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?~
Luk:14:4: And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed
him, and let him go;~
Luk:14:5: And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass
or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out
on the sabbath day?~
Luk:14:6: And they could not answer him again to these things.~
Luk:14:7: And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden,
when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.~
Luk:14:8: 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;~
Luk:14:9: 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.~
Luk:14:10: 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.~
Luk:14:11: For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth himself shall be exalted.~
Luk:14:12: 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.~
Luk:14:13: But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed,
the lame, the blind:~
Luk:14:14: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.~
Luk:14:15: 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.~
Luk:14:16: Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper,
and bade many:~
Luk:14:17: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that
were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.~
Luk:14:18: 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.~
Luk:14:19: And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and
I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.~
Luk:14:20: And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore
I cannot come.~
Luk:14:21: 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.~
Luk:14:22: And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded,
and yet there is room.~
Luk:14:23: 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.~
Luk:14:24: For I say unto you, That none of those men which were
bidden shall taste of my supper.~
Luk:14:25: And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned,
and said unto them,~
Luk:14:26: 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.~
Luk:14:27: And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after
me, cannot be my disciple.~
Luk:14:28: For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient
to finish it?~
Luk:14:29: Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is
not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,~
Luk:14:30: Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.~
Luk:14:31: 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?~
Luk:14:32: Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth
an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.~
Luk:14:33: So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not
all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.~
Luk:14:34: Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be seasoned?~
Luk:14:35: 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.~
Luk:15:1: Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for
to hear him.~
Luk:15:2: And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man
receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.~
Luk:15:3: And he spake this parable unto them, saying,~
Luk:15:4: 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?~
Luk:15:5: And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,
rejoicing.~
Luk:15:6: 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.~
Luk:15:7: 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.~
Luk:15:8: 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?~
Luk:15:9: 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.~
Luk:15:10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence
of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.~
Luk:15:11: And he said, A certain man had two sons:~
Luk:15:12: 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.~
Luk:15:13: 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.~
Luk:15:14: And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine
in that land; and he began to be in want.~
Luk:15:15: And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.~
Luk:15:16: And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks
that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.~
Luk:15:17: 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!~
Luk:15:18: I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,~
Luk:15:19: And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as
one of thy hired servants.~
Luk:15:20: 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.~
Luk:15:21: 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.~
Luk:15:22: 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:~
Luk:15:23: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let
us eat, and be merry:~
Luk:15:24: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost,
and is found. And they began to be merry.~
Luk:15:25: Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and
drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.~
Luk:15:26: And he called one of the servants, and asked what these
things meant.~
Luk:15:27: 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.~
Luk:15:28: And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came
his father out, and intreated him.~
Luk:15:29: 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:~
Luk:15:30: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured
thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.~
Luk:15:31: And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and
all that I have is thine.~
Luk:15:32: It was meet that we should make |
