LU-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,

LU-1:2  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the

beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

LU-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,

LU-1:4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,

wherein thou hast been instructed.

LU-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.

LU-1:6  And they were both righteous before God, walking in all

the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

LU-1:7  And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,

 and they both were [now] well stricken in years.

LU-1:8  And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's

office before God in the order of his course,

LU-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.

LU-1:10  And the whole multitude of the people were praying

without at the time of incense.

LU-1:11  And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord

standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

LU-1:12  And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear

fell upon him.

LU-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.

LU-1:14  And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall

rejoice at his birth.

LU-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.

LU-1:16  And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the

Lord their God.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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 show thee these glad tidings.

LU-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.

LU-1:21  And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that

he tarried so long in the temple.

LU-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.

LU-1:23  And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his

ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

LU-1:24  And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and

hid herself five months, saying,

LU-1:25  Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he

looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.

LU-1:26  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from

God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou

hast found favour with God.

LU-1:31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring

forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

LU-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:

LU-1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;

and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

LU-1:34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be,

seeing I know not a man?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:37  For with God nothing shall be impossible.

LU-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.

LU-1:39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill

country with haste, into a city of Juda;

LU-1:40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted

Elisabeth.

LU-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:

LU-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.

LU-1:43  And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord

should come to me?

LU-1:44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded

in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

LU-1:45  And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be

a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

LU-1:46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

LU-1:47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

LU-1:48  For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:

for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me

blessed.

LU-1:49  For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and

holy [is] his name.

LU-1:50  And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from

generation to generation.

LU-1:51  He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered

the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

LU-1:52  He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and

exalted them of low degree.

LU-1:53  He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the

rich he hath sent empty away.

LU-1:54  He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of

[his] mercy;

LU-1:55  As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed

for ever.

LU-1:56  And Mary abode with her about three months, and

returned to her own house.

LU-1:57  Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be

delivered; and she brought forth a son.

LU-1:58  And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord

had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

LU-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.

LU-1:60  And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he

shall be called John.

LU-1:61  And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred

that is called by this name.

LU-1:62  And they made signs to his father, how he would have

him called.

LU-1:63  And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying,

His name is John. And they marvelled all.

LU-1:64  And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue

[loosed], and he spake, and praised God.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:67  And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,

 and prophesied, saying,

LU-1:68  Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath

visited and redeemed his people,

LU-1:69  And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the

house of his servant David;

LU-1:70  As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which

have been since the world began:

LU-1:71  That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the

hand of all that hate us;

LU-1:72  To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to

remember his holy covenant;

LU-1:73  The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

LU-1:74  That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered

out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

LU-1:75  In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days

of our life.

LU-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;

LU-1:77  To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the

remission of their sins,

LU-1:78  Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the

dayspring from on high hath visited us,

LU-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.

LU-1:80  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was

in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

*LU-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.

LU-2:2  ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was

governor of Syria.)

LU-2:3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

LU-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:)

LU-2:5  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great

with child.

LU-2:6  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days

were accomplished that she should be delivered.

LU-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.

LU-2:8  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in

the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-2:11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a

Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

LU-2:12  And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the

babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

LU-2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of

the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

LU-2:14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good

will toward men.

LU-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.

LU-2:16  And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,

and the babe lying in a manger.

LU-2:17  And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the

saying which was told them concerning this child.

LU-2:18  And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things

which were told them by the shepherds.

LU-2:19  But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in

her heart.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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;

LU-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;)

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and

said,

LU-2:29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,

according to thy word:

LU-2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

LU-2:31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

LU-2:32  A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy

people Israel.

LU-2:33  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things

which were spoken of him.

LU-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;

LU-2:35  (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,)

that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

LU-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;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-2:40  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled

with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

LU-2:41  Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the

feast of the passover.

LU-2:42  And when he was twelve years old, they went up to

Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

LU-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].

LU-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.

LU-2:45  And when they found him not, they turned back again to

Jerusalem, seeking him.

LU-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.

LU-2:47  And all that heard him were astonished at his

understanding and answers.

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-2:50  And they understood not the saying which he spake unto

them.

LU-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.

LU-2:52  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in

favour with God and man.

*LU-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,

LU-3:2  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of

God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

LU-3:3  And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching

the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

LU-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.

LU-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;

LU-3:6  And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-3:9  And now also the ax 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.

LU-3:10  And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

LU-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.

LU-3:12  Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto

him, Master, what shall we do?

LU-3:13  And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is

appointed you.

LU-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.

LU-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;

LU-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:

LU-3:17  Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly

purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but

the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

LU-3:18  And many other things in his exhortation preached he

unto the people.

LU-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,

LU-3:20  Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in

prison.

LU-3:21  Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,

that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was

opened,

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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 son] of Nagge,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-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.

*LU-4:1  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from

Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

LU-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.

LU-4:3  And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,

command this stone that it be made bread.

LU-4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man

shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

LU-4:5  And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain,

showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of

time.

LU-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.

LU-4:7  If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-4:10  For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over

thee, to keep thee:

LU-4:11  And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at

any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

LU-4:12  And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou

shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

LU-4:13  And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he

departed from him for a season.

LU-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.

LU-4:15  And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of

all.

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-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,

LU-4:19  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

LU-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.

LU-4:21  And he began to say unto them, This day is this

scripture fulfilled in your ears.

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-4:24  And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is

accepted in his own country.

LU-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;

LU-4:26  But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta,

 [a city] of Sidon, unto a woman [that was] a widow.

LU-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.

LU-4:28  And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these

things, were filled with wrath,

LU-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.

LU-4:30  But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

LU-4:31  And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and

taught them on the sabbath days.

LU-4:32  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word

was with power.

LU-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,

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-4:37  And the fame of him went out into every place of the

country round about.

LU-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.

LU-4:39  And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it

left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-4:43  And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God

to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

LU-4:44  And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

*LU-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,

LU-5:2  And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the

fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-5:6  And when they had this done, they enclosed a great

multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-5:9  For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at

the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

LU-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.

LU-5:11  And when they had brought their ships to land, they

forsook all, and followed him.

LU-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.

LU-5:13  And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I

will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from

him.

LU-5:14  And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show

thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as

Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

LU-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.

LU-5:16  And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-5:20  And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy

sins are forgiven thee.

LU-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?

LU-5:22  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering

said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

LU-5:23  Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee;

or to say, Rise up and walk?

LU-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.

LU-5:25  And immediately he rose up before them, and took up

that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying

God.

LU-5:26  And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and

were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to

day.

LU-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.

LU-5:28  And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

LU-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.

LU-5:30  But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his

disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and

sinners?

LU-5:31  And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole

need not a physician; but they that are sick.

LU-5:32  I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to

repentance.

LU-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?

LU-5:34  And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the

bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

LU-5:35  But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be

taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-5:38  But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are

preserved.

LU-5:39  No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway

desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

*LU-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.

LU-6:2  And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye

that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

LU-6:3  And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much

as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they

which were with him;

LU-6:4  How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat

the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which

it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

LU-6:5  And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also

of the sabbath.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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]?

LU-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.

LU-6:11  And they were filled with madness; and communed one

with another what they might do to Jesus.

LU-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.

LU-6:13  And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples:

 and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

LU-6:14  Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his

brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

LU-6:15  Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and

Simon called Zelotes,

LU-6:16  And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot,

which also was the traitor.

LU-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;

LU-6:18  And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they

were healed.

LU-6:19  And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there

went virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.

LU-6:20  And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

LU-6:21  Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be

filled. Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-6:24  But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received

your consolation.

LU-6:25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe

unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

LU-6:26  Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for

so did their fathers to the false prophets.

LU-6:27  But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do

good to them which hate you,

LU-6:28  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which

despitefully use you.

LU-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.

LU-6:30  Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that

taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.

LU-6:31  And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also

to them likewise.

LU-6:32  For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?

for sinners also love those that love them.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-6:36  Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is

merciful.

LU-6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and

ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

LU-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.

LU-6:39  And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead

the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

LU-6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one

that is perfect shall be as his master.

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-6:43  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit;

neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things

which I say?

LU-6:47  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and

doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:

LU-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.

LU-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.

*LU-7:1  Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience

of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

LU-7:2  And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him,

 was sick, and ready to die.

LU-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.

LU-7:4  And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,

 saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

LU-7:5  For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a

synagogue.

LU-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:

LU-7:7  Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto

thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

LU-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].

LU-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.

LU-7:10  And they that were sent, returning to the house, found

the servant whole that had been sick.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-7:13  And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,

and said unto her, Weep not.

LU-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.

LU-7:15  And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he

delivered him to his mother.

LU-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.

LU-7:17  And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea,

 and throughout all the region round about.

LU-7:18  And the disciples of John showed him of all these

things.

LU-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?

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-7:23  And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in

me.

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-7:26  But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say

unto you, and much more than a prophet.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-7:29  And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans,

justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

LU-7:30  But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of

God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

LU-7:31  And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men

of this generation? and to what are they like?

LU-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.

LU-7:33  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor

drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

LU-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!

LU-7:35  But wisdom is justified of all her children.

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-7:40  And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have

somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

LU-7:41  There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the

one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

LU-7:42  And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave

them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

LU-7:43  Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom

he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

LU-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.

LU-7:45  Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I

came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

LU-7:46  My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman

hath anointed my feet with ointment.

LU-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.

LU-7:48  And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

LU-7:49  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within

themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

LU-7:50  And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go

in peace.

*LU-8:1  And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout

every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings

of the kingdom of God: and the twelve [were] with him,

LU-8:2  And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits

and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven

devils,

LU-8:3  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and

Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their

substance.

LU-8:4  And when much people were gathered together, and were

come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

LU-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.

LU-8:6  And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung

up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

LU-8:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up

with it, and choked it.

LU-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.

LU-8:9  And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this

parable be?

LU-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.

LU-8:11  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-8:17  For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;

neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

LU-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.

LU-8:19  Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and

could not come at him for the press.

LU-8:20  And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother

and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-8:26  And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which

is over against Galilee.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.)

LU-8:30  And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he

said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

LU-8:31  And they besought him that he would not command them to

go out into the deep.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-8:36  They also which saw [it] told them by what means he

that was possessed of the devils was healed.

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-8:39  Return to thine own house, and show 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.

LU-8:40  And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the

people [gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.

LU-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:

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-8:44  Came behind [him], and touched the border of his

garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

LU-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?

LU-8:46  And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I

perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

LU-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.

LU-8:48  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy

faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

LU-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.

LU-8:50  But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying,

Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

LU-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.

LU-8:52  And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not;

she is not dead, but sleepeth.

LU-8:53  And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was

dead.

LU-8:54  And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and

called, saying, Maid, arise.

LU-8:55  And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway:

and he commanded to give her meat.

LU-8:56  And her parents were astonished: but he charged them

that they should tell no man what was done.

*LU-9:1  Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave

them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

LU-9:2  And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to

heal the sick.

LU-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.

LU-9:4  And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and

thence depart.

LU-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.

LU-9:6  And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching

the gospel, and healing every where.

LU-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;

LU-9:8  And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others,

that one of the old prophets was risen again.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:14  For they were about five thousand men. And he said to

his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

LU-9:15  And they did so, and made them all sit down.

LU-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.

LU-9:17  And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was

taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

LU-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?

LU-9:19  They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say],

Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen

again.

LU-9:20  He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter

answering said, The Christ of God.

LU-9:21  And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to

tell no man that thing;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:25  For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole

world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:29  And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was

altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.

LU-9:30  And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were

Moses and Elias:

LU-9:31  Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which

he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:34  While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and

overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the

cloud.

LU-9:35  And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This

is my beloved Son: hear him.

LU-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.

LU-9:37  And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they

were come down from the hill, much people met him.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:40  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they

could not.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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,

LU-9:44  Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son

of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

LU-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.

LU-9:46  Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them

should be greatest.

LU-9:47  And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took

a child, and set him by him,

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:50  And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that

is not against us is for us.

LU-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,

LU-9:52  And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and

entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

LU-9:53  And they did not receive him, because his face was as

though he would go to Jerusalem.

LU-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?

LU-9:55  But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not

what manner of spirit ye are of.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-9:59  And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,

suffer me first to go and bury my father.

LU-9:60  Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but

go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

LU-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.

LU-9:62  And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to

the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

*LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-10:3  Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among

wolves.

LU-10:4  Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute

no man by the way.

LU-10:5  And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace

[be] to this house.

LU-10:6  And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest

upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

LU-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.

LU-10:8  And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you,

 eat such things as are set before you:

LU-10:9  And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them,

The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

LU-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,

LU-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.

LU-10:12  But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in

that day for Sodom, than for that city.

LU-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.

LU-10:14  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at

the judgment, than for you.

LU-10:15  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven,

shalt be thrust down to hell.

LU-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.

LU-10:17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord,

even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

LU-10:18  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning

fall from heaven.

LU-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.

LU-10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits

are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are

written in heaven.

LU-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.

LU-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].

LU-10:23  And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said

privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye

see:

LU-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].

LU-10:25  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted

him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

LU-10:26  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how

readest thou?

LU-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.

LU-10:28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this

do, and thou shalt live.

LU-10:29  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus,

And who is my neighbour?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-10:32  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came

and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.

LU-10:33  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where

he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-10:36  Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour

unto him that fell among the thieves?

LU-10:37  And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said

Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

LU-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.

LU-10:39  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at

Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

LU-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.

LU-10:41  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha,

thou art careful and troubled about many things:

LU-10:42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that

good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

*LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-11:3  Give us day by day our daily bread.

LU-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.

LU-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;

LU-11:6  For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and

I have nothing to set before him?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-11:10  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that

seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

LU-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?

LU-11:12  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a

scorpion?

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-11:15  But some of them said, He casteth out devils through

Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

LU-11:16  And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from

heaven.

LU-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.

LU-11:18  If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall

his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through

Beelzebub.

LU-11:19  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your

sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.

LU-11:20  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no

doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

LU-11:21  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods

are in peace:

LU-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.

LU-11:23  He that is not with me is against me: and he that

gathereth not with me scattereth.

LU-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.

LU-11:25  And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and

garnished.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-11:28  But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear

the word of God, and keep it.

LU-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.

LU-11:30  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall

also the Son of man be to this generation.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-11:35  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be

not darkness.

LU-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.

LU-11:37  And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to

dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

LU-11:38  And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he

had not first washed before dinner.

LU-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.

LU-11:40  [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without

make that which is within also?

LU-11:41  But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and,

behold, all things are clean unto you.

LU-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.

LU-11:43  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost

seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

LU-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].

LU-11:45  Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him,

Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

LU-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.

LU-11:47  Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the

prophets, and your fathers killed them.

LU-11:48  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your

fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their

sepulchres.

LU-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:

LU-11:50  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed

from the foundation of the world, may be required of this

generation;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-11:54  Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something

out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

*LU-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.

LU-12:2  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be

revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-12:6  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not

one of them is forgotten before God?

LU-12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

LU-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:

LU-12:9  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied

before the angels of God.

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-12:12  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour

what ye ought to say.

LU-12:13  And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to

my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

LU-12:14  And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a

divider over you?

LU-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.

LU-12:16  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground

of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

LU-12:17  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,

 because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-12:21  So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is

not rich toward God.

LU-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.

LU-12:23  The life is more than meat, and the body [is more]

than raiment.

LU-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?

LU-12:25  And which of you with taking thought can add to his

stature one cubit?

LU-12:26  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,

 why take ye thought for the rest?

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-12:29  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall

drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

LU-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.

LU-12:31  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these

things shall be added unto you.

LU-12:32  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good

pleasure to give you the kingdom.

LU-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.

LU-12:34  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be

also.

LU-12:35  Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights

burning;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-12:40  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh

at an hour when ye think not.

LU-12:41  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this

parable unto us, or even to all?

LU-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?

LU-12:43  Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he

cometh shall find so doing.

LU-12:44  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler

over all that he hath.

LU-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;

LU-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.

LU-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].

LU-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.

LU-12:49  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I,

if it be already kindled?

LU-12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I

straitened till it be accomplished!

LU-12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I

tell you, Nay; but rather division:

LU-12:52  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house

divided, three against two, and two against three.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-12:55  And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There

will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

LU-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?

LU-12:57  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is

right?

LU-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.

LU-12:59  I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou

hast paid the very last mite.

*LU-13:1  There were present at that season some that told him

of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their

sacrifices.

LU-13:2  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that

these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because

they suffered such things?

LU-13:3  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all

likewise perish.

LU-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?

LU-13:5  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all

likewise perish.

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-13:8  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this

year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:

LU-13:9  And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after

that thou shalt cut it down.

LU-13:10  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the

sabbath.

LU-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].

LU-13:12  And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and

said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

LU-13:13  And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she

was made straight, and glorified God.

LU-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.

LU-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?

LU-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?

LU-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.

LU-13:18  Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?

and whereunto shall I resemble it?

LU-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.

LU-13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom

of God?

LU-13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three

measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

LU-13:22  And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,

and journeying toward Jerusalem.

LU-13:23  Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be

saved? And he said unto them,

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-13:26  Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in

thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

LU-13:27  But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye

are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-13:30  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and

there are first which shall be last.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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!

LU-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.

*LU-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.

LU-14:2  And, behold, there was a certain man before him which

had the dropsy.

LU-14:3  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and

Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

LU-14:4  And they held their peace. And he took [him], and

healed him, and let him go;

LU-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?

LU-14:6  And they could not answer him again to these things.

LU-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,

LU-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;

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-14:11  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he

that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

LU-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 recompense be made thee.

LU-14:13  But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the

maimed, the lame, the blind:

LU-14:14  And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense

thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the

just.

LU-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.

LU-14:16  Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great

supper, and bade many:

LU-14:17  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them

that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

LU-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.

LU-14:19  And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and

I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

LU-14:20  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore

I cannot come.

LU-14:21  So that servant came, and showed 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.

LU-14:22  And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast

commanded, and yet there is room.

LU-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.

LU-14:24  For I say unto you, That none of those men which were

bidden shall taste of my supper.

LU-14:25  And there went great multitudes with him: and he

turned, and said unto them,

LU-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.

LU-14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after

me, cannot be my disciple.

LU-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]?

LU-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,

LU-14:30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to

finish.

LU-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?

LU-14:32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he

sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

LU-14:33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not

all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

LU-14:34  Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour,

wherewith shall it be seasoned?

LU-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.

*LU-15:1  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners

for to hear him.

LU-15:2  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This

man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

LU-15:3  And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

LU-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?

LU-15:5  And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his

shoulders, rejoicing.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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]?

LU-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.

LU-15:10  Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence

of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

LU-15:11  And he said, A certain man had two sons:

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-15:14  And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine

in that land; and he began to be in want.

LU-15:15  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that

country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

LU-15:16  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks

that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

LU-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!

LU-15:18  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto

him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

LU-15:19  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as

one of thy hired servants.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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:

LU-15:23  And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and

let us eat, and be merry:

LU-15:24  For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was

lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

LU-15:25  Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and

drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

LU-15:26  And he called one of the servants, and asked what

these things meant.

LU-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.

LU-15:28  And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came

his father out, and entreated him.

LU-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:

LU-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.

LU-15:31  And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and

all that I have is thine.

LU-15:32  It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad:

for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost,

and is found.

*LU-16:1  And he said also unto his disciples, There was a

certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused

unto him that he had wasted his goods.

LU-16:2  And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I

hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou

mayest be no longer steward.

LU-16:3  Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do?

for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig;

to beg I am ashamed.

LU-16:4  I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of

the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

LU-16:5  So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him],

 and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

LU-16:6  And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said

unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

LU-16:7  Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And

he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him,

Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

LU-16:8  And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he

had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their

generation wiser than the children of light.

LU-16:9  And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the

mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive

you into everlasting habitations.

LU-16:10  He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful

also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also

in much.

LU-16:11  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the

unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true

[riches]?

LU-16:12  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is

another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

LU-16:13  No servant can serve two masters: for either he will

hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the

one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

LU-16:14  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all

these things: and they derided him.

LU-16:15  And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify

yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that

which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight

of God.

LU-16:16  The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that

time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into

it.

LU-16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than

one tittle of the law to fail.

LU-16:18  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,

committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away

from [her] husband committeth adultery.

LU-16:19  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in

purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

LU-16:20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which

was laid at his gate, full of sores,

LU-16:21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from

the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his

sores.

LU-16:22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was

carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also

died, and was buried;

LU-16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,

and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

LU-16:24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on

me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in

water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

LU-16:25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy

lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil

things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

LU-16:26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a

great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to

you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from

thence.

LU-16:27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou

wouldest send him to my father's house:

LU-16:28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto

them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

LU-16:29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the

prophets; let them hear them.

LU-16:30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto

them from the dead, they will repent.

LU-16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the

prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from

the dead.

*LU-17:1  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but

that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they

come!

LU-17:2  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged

about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should

offend one of these little ones.

LU-17:3  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass

against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

LU-17:4  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;

thou shalt forgive him.

LU-17:5  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

LU-17:6  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of

mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou

plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it

should obey you.

LU-17:7  But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding

cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the

field, Go and sit down to meat?

LU-17:8  And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith

I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and

drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

LU-17:9  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things

that were commanded him? I trow not.

LU-17:10  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those

things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable

servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

LU-17:11  And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he

passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

LU-17:12  And as he entered into a certain village, there met

him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

LU-17:13  And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus,

Master, have mercy on us.

LU-17:14  And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go show

yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they

went, they were cleansed.

LU-17:15  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed,

turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

LU-17:16  And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him

thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

LU-17:17  And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?

but where [are] the nine?

LU-17:18  There are not found that returned to give glory to God,

 save this stranger.

LU-17:19  And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith

hath made thee whole.

LU-17:20  And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the

kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The

kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

LU-17:21  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,

behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

LU-17:22  And he said unto the disciples, The days will come,

when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man,

and ye shall not see [it].

LU-17:23  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go

not after [them], nor follow [them].

LU-17:24  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one

[part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven;

so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

LU-17:25  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected

of this generation.

LU-17:26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also

in the days of the Son of man.

LU-17:27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they

were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the

ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

LU-17:28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did

eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they

builded;

LU-17:29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained

fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.

LU-17:30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man

is revealed.

LU-17:31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and

his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away:

and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

LU-17:32  Remember Lot's wife.

LU-17:33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it;

and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

LU-17:34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in

one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

LU-17:35  Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall

be taken, and the other left.

LU-17:36  Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be

taken, and the other left.

LU-17:37  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And

he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the

eagles be gathered together.

*LU-18:1  And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that

men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

LU-18:2  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not

God, neither regarded man:

LU-18:3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto

him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

LU-18:4  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said

within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

LU-18:5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her,

lest by her continual coming she weary me.

LU-18:6  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

LU-18:7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day

and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

LU-18:8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on

the earth?

LU-18:9  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in

themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

LU-18:10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a

Pharisee, and the other a publican.

LU-18:11  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God,

I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners,

unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

LU-18:12  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I

possess.

LU-18:13  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up

so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,

saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

LU-18:14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified

[rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself

shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

LU-18:15  And they brought unto him also infants, that he would

touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

LU-18:16  But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer

little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of

such is the kingdom of God.

LU-18:17  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the

kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

LU-18:18  And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master,

what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

LU-18:19  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?

none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.

LU-18:20  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery,

Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy

father and thy mother.

LU-18:21  And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

LU-18:22  Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him,

Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and

distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:

 and come, follow me.

LU-18:23  And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he

was very rich.

LU-18:24  And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said,

 How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom

of God!

LU-18:25  For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's

eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

LU-18:26  And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?

LU-18:27  And he said, The things which are impossible with men

are possible with God.

LU-18:28  Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed

thee.

LU-18:29  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is

no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife,

or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

LU-18:30  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present

time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

LU-18:31  Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them,

 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written

by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

LU-18:32  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall

be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

LU-18:33  And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death:

and the third day he shall rise again.

LU-18:34  And they understood none of these things: and this

saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which

were spoken.

LU-18:35  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto

Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

LU-18:36  And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it

meant.

LU-18:37  And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

LU-18:38  And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have

mercy on me.

LU-18:39  And they which went before rebuked him, that he should

hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of

David, have mercy on me.

LU-18:40  And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto

him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

LU-18:41  Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And

he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

LU-18:42  And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith

hath saved thee.

LU-18:43  And immediately he received his sight, and followed

him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it],

gave praise unto God.

*LU-19:1  And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.

LU-19:2  And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which

was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

LU-19:3  And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not

for the press, because he was little of stature.

LU-19:4  And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree

to see him: for he was to pass that [way].

LU-19:5  And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw

him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down;

for to day I must abide at thy house.

LU-19:6  And he made haste, and came down, and received him

joyfully.

LU-19:7  And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That

he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

LU-19:8  And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold,

Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have

taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore

[him] fourfold.

LU-19:9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to

this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

LU-19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that

which was lost.

LU-19:11  And as they heard these things, he added and spake a

parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they

thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

LU-19:12  He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far

country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

LU-19:13  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten

pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

LU-19:14  But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after

him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.

LU-19:15  And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having

received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be

called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might

know how much every man had gained by trading.

LU-19:16  Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath

gained ten pounds.

LU-19:17  And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because

thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority

over ten cities.

LU-19:18  And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath

gained five pounds.

LU-19:19  And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five

cities.

LU-19:20  And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy

pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

LU-19:21  For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man:

thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou

didst not sow.

LU-19:22  And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I

judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an

austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I

did not sow:

LU-19:23  Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,

that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

LU-19:24  And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the

pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.

LU-19:25  (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

LU-19:26  For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath

shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath

shall be taken away from him.

LU-19:27  But those mine enemies, which would not that I should

reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.

LU-19:28  And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending

up to Jerusalem.

LU-19:29  And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to

Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives,

 he sent two of his disciples,

LU-19:30  Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in

the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon

yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].

LU-19:31  And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus

shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

LU-19:32  And they that were sent went their way, and found even

as he had said unto them.

LU-19:33  And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof

said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

LU-19:34  And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

LU-19:35  And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their

garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

LU-19:36  And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

LU-19:37  And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of

the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began

to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty

works that they had seen;

LU-19:38  Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name

of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

LU-19:39  And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude

said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

LU-19:40  And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that,

if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately

cry out.

LU-19:41  And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and

wept over it,

LU-19:42  Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in

this thy day, the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now

they are hid from thine eyes.

LU-19:43  For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies

shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep

thee in on every side,

LU-19:44  And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy

children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone

upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy

visitation.

LU-19:45  And he went into the temple, and began to cast out

them that sold therein, and them that bought;

LU-19:46  Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house

of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

LU-19:47  And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief

priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to

destroy him,

LU-19:48  And could not find what they might do: for all the

people were very attentive to hear him.

*LU-20:1  And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as

he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the

chief priests and the scribes came upon [him] with the elders,

LU-20:2  And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority

doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this

authority?

LU-20:3  And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you

one thing; and answer me:

LU-20:4  The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

LU-20:5  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall

say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

LU-20:6  But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us:

 for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

LU-20:7  And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it

was].

LU-20:8  And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what

authority I do these things.

LU-20:9  Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A

certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen,

and went into a far country for a long time.

LU-20:10  And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen,

that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the

husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.

LU-20:11  And again he sent another servant: and they beat him

also, and entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.

LU-20:12  And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also,

and cast [him] out.

LU-20:13  Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I

will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him]

when they see him.

LU-20:14  But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among

themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him,

that the inheritance may be ours.

LU-20:15  So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him].

 What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

LU-20:16  He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall

give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said,

 God forbid.

LU-20:17  And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that

is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is

become the head of the corner?

LU-20:18  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;

but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

LU-20:19  And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour

sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they

perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

LU-20:20  And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which

should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of

his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and

authority of the governor.

LU-20:21  And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou

sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person

[of any], but teachest the way of God truly:

LU-20:22  Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

LU-20:23  But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

Why tempt ye me?

LU-20:24  Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath

it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

LU-20:25  And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar

the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be

God's.

LU-20:26  And they could not take hold of his words before the

people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

LU-20:27  Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which

deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

LU-20:28  Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's

brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that

his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his

brother.

LU-20:29  There were therefore seven brethren: and the first

took a wife, and died without children.

LU-20:30  And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

LU-20:31  And the third took her; and in like manner the seven

also: and they left no children, and died.

LU-20:32  Last of all the woman died also.

LU-20:33  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is

she? for seven had her to wife.

LU-20:34  And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of

this world marry, and are given in marriage:

LU-20:35  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain

that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry,

nor are given in marriage:

LU-20:36  Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto

the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of

the resurrection.

LU-20:37  Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the

bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God

of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

LU-20:38  For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living:

for all live unto him.

LU-20:39  Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master,

thou hast well said.

LU-20:40  And after that they durst not ask him any [question at

all].

LU-20:41  And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is

David's son?

LU-20:42  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The

Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

LU-20:43  Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

LU-20:44  David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his

son?

LU-20:45  Then in the audience of all the people he said unto

his disciples,

LU-20:46  Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long

robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats

in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

LU-20:47  Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long

prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

*LU-21:1  And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their

gifts into the treasury.

LU-21:2  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither

two mites.

LU-21:3  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor

widow hath cast in more than they all:

LU-21:4  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the

offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the

living that she had.

LU-21:5  And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned

with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

LU-21:6  [As for] these things which ye behold, the days will

come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon

another, that shall not be thrown down.

LU-21:7  And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall

these things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things

shall come to pass?

LU-21:8  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for

many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time

draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

LU-21:9  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not

terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end

[is] not by and by.

LU-21:10  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against

nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

LU-21:11  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and

famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs

shall there be from heaven.

LU-21:12  But before all these, they shall lay their hands on

you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues,

and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my

name's sake.

LU-21:13  And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

LU-21:14  Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate

before what ye shall answer:

LU-21:15  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your

adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

LU-21:16  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren,

 and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause

to be put to death.

LU-21:17  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

LU-21:18  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

LU-21:19  In your patience possess ye your souls.

LU-21:20  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,

then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

LU-21:21  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the

mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out;

and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

LU-21:22  For these be the days of vengeance, that all things

which are written may be fulfilled.

LU-21:23  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them

that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress

in the land, and wrath upon this people.

LU-21:24  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and

shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall

be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles

be fulfilled.

LU-21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon,

and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with

perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

LU-21:26  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking

after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers

of heaven shall be shaken.

LU-21:27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a

cloud with power and great glory.

LU-21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look

up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

LU-21:29  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,

and all the trees;

LU-21:30  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own

selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

LU-21:31  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,

know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

LU-21:32  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass

away, till all be fulfilled.

LU-21:33  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall

not pass away.

LU-21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your

hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and

cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.

LU-21:35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on

the face of the whole earth.

LU-21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be

accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to

pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

LU-21:37  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and

at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the

mount] of Olives.

LU-21:38  And all the people came early in the morning to him in

the temple, for to hear him.

*LU-22:1  Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is

called the Passover.

LU-22:2  And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might

kill him; for they feared the people.

LU-22:3  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being

of the number of the twelve.

LU-22:4  And he went his way, and communed with the chief

priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

LU-22:5  And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

LU-22:6  And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him

unto them in the absence of the multitude.

LU-22:7  Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the

passover must be killed.

LU-22:8  And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us

the passover, that we may eat.

LU-22:9  And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

LU-22:10  And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered

into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of

water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

LU-22:11  And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The

Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall

eat the passover with my disciples?

LU-22:12  And he shall show you a large upper room furnished:

there make ready.

LU-22:13  And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and

they made ready the passover.

LU-22:14  And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the

twelve apostles with him.

LU-22:15  And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to

eat this passover with you before I suffer:

LU-22:16  For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof,

until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

LU-22:17  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take

this, and divide [it] among yourselves:

LU-22:18  For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of

the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

LU-22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it],

and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for

you: this do in remembrance of me.

LU-22:20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup

[is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

LU-22:21  But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is]

with me on the table.

LU-22:22  And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined:

but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

LU-22:23  And they began to inquire among themselves, which of

them it was that should do this thing.

LU-22:24  And there was also a strife among them, which of them

should be accounted the greatest.

LU-22:25  And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles

exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority

upon them are called benefactors.

LU-22:26  But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest

among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as

he that doth serve.

LU-22:27  For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or

he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am

among you as he that serveth.

LU-22:28  Ye are they which have continued with me in my

temptations.

LU-22:29  And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath

appointed unto me;

LU-22:30  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,

and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

LU-22:31  And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath

desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:

LU-22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:

and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

LU-22:33  And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,

 both into prison, and to death.
