LU-11  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-12  Even as they delivered them unto us which from the

beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word .

LU-13  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-14  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things

wherein thou hast been instructed .

LU-15  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-16  And they were both righteous before God walking in all

the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless .

LU-17  And they had no child because that Elisabeth was barren

and they both were now well stricken in years .

LU-18  And it came to pass that while he executed the priest's

office before God in the order of his course .

LU-19  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-110  And the whole multitude of the people were praying

without at the time of incense .

LU-111  And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord

standing on the right side of the altar of incense .

LU-112  And when Zacharias saw him he was troubled and fear fell

upon him .

LU-113  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-114  And thou shalt have joy and gladness and many shall

rejoice at his birth .

LU-115  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-116  And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the

Lord their God .

LU-117  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-118  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-119  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-120  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-121  And the people waited for Zacharias and marvelled that

he tarried so long in the temple .

LU-122  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-123  And it came to pass that as soon as the days of his

ministration were accomplished he departed to his own house .

LU-124  And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived and

hid herself five months saying .

LU-125  Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he

looked on me to take away my reproach among men .

LU-126  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from

God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth .

LU-127  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of

the house of David and the virgin's name was Mary .

LU-128  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-129  And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying and

cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be .

LU-130  And the angel said unto her Fear not Mary for thou hast

found favour with God .

LU-131  And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring

forth a son and shalt call his name JESUS .

LU-132  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-133  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and

of his kingdom there shall be no end .

LU-134  Then said Mary unto the angel How shall this be seeing I

know not a man .

LU-135  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-136  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-137  For with God nothing shall be impossible .

LU-138  And Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto

me according to thy word And the angel departed from her .

LU-139  And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill

country with haste into a city of Juda .

LU-140  And entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted

Elisabeth .

LU-141  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-142  And she spake out with a loud voice and said Blessed art

thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb .

LU-143  And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord

should come to me .

LU-144  For lo as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in

mine ears the babe leaped in my womb for joy .

LU-145  And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a

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

LU-146  And Mary said My soul doth magnify the Lord .

LU-147  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour .

LU-148  For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden

for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed

.

LU-149  For he that is mighty hath done to me great things and

holy is his name .

LU-150  And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation

to generation .

LU-151  He hath showed strength with his arm he hath scattered

the proud in the imagination of their hearts .

LU-152  He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted

them of low degree .

LU-153  He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich

he hath sent empty away .

LU-154  He hath holpen his servant Israel in remembrance of his

mercy .

LU-155  As he spake to our fathers to Abraham and to his seed

for ever .

LU-156  And Mary abode with her about three months and returned

to her own house .

LU-157  Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be

delivered and she brought forth a son .

LU-158  And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord

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

LU-159  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-160  And his mother answered and said Not so but he shall be

called John .

LU-161  And they said unto her There is none of thy kindred that

is called by this name .

LU-162  And they made signs to his father how he would have him

called .

LU-163  And he asked for a writing table and wrote saying His

name is John And they marvelled all .

LU-164  And his mouth was opened immediately and his tongue

loosed and he spake and praised God .

LU-165  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-166  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-167  And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost

and prophesied saying .

LU-168  Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath visited

and redeemed his people .

LU-169  And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the

house of his servant David .

LU-170  As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have

been since the world began .

LU-171  That we should be saved from our enemies and from the

hand of all that hate us .

LU-172  To perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to

remember his holy covenant .

LU-173  The oath which he sware to our father Abraham .

LU-174  That he would grant unto us that we being delivered out

of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear .

LU-175  In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of

our life .

LU-176  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-177  To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the

remission of their sins .

LU-178  Through the tender mercy of our God whereby the

dayspring from on high hath visited us .

LU-179  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-180  And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in

the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel .

* LU-21  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-22  And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor

of Syria .

LU-23  And all went to be taxed every one into his own city .

LU-24  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-25  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with

child .

LU-26  And so it was that while they were there the days were

accomplished that she should be delivered .

LU-27  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-28  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in

the field keeping watch over their flock by night .

LU-29  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-210  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-211  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a

Saviour which is Christ the Lord .

LU-212  And this shall be a sign unto you Ye shall find the babe

wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger .

LU-213  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the

heavenly host praising God and saying .

LU-214  Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will

toward men .

LU-215  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-216  And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and

the babe lying in a manger .

LU-217  And when they had seen it they made known abroad the

saying which was told them concerning this child .

LU-218  And all they that heard it wondered at those things

which were told them by the shepherds .

LU-219  But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her

heart .

LU-220  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-221  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-222  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-223  As it is written in the law of the Lord Every male that

openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord .

LU-224  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-225  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-226  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-227  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-228  Then took he him up in his arms and blessed God and said

.

LU-229  Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace

according to thy word .

LU-230  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation .

LU-231  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people .

LU-232  A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy

people Israel .

LU-233  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things

which were spoken of him .

LU-234  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-235  Yea a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also that

the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed .

LU-236  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-237  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-238  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-239  And when they had performed all things according to the

law of the Lord they returned into Galilee to their own city

Nazareth .

LU-240  And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit filled

with wisdom and the grace of God was upon him .

LU-241  Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the

feast of the passover .

LU-242  And when he was twelve years old they went up to

Jerusalem after the custom of the feast .

LU-243  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-244  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-245  And when they found him not they turned back again to

Jerusalem seeking him .

LU-246  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-247  And all that heard him were astonished at his

understanding and answers .

LU-248  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-249  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-250  And they understood not the saying which he spake unto

them .

LU-251  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-252  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour

with God and man .

* LU-31  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-32  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests the word of God

came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness .

LU-33  And he came into all the country about Jordan preaching

the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins .

LU-34  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-35  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-36  And all flesh shall see the salvation of God .

LU-37  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-38  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-39  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-310  And the people asked him saying What shall we do then .

LU-311  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-312  Then came also publicans to be baptized and said unto

him Master what shall we do .

LU-313  And he said unto them Exact no more than that which is

appointed you .

LU-314  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-315  And as the people were in expectation and all men mused

in their hearts of John whether he were the Christ or not .

LU-316  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-317  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-318  And many other things in his exhortation preached he

unto the people .

LU-319  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-320  Added yet this above all that he shut up John in prison .

LU-321  Now when all the people were baptized it came to pass

that Jesus also being baptized and praying the heaven was opened

.

LU-322  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-323  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-324  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-325  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-326  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-327  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-328  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-329  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-330  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-331  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-332  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-333  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-334  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-335  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-336  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-337  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-338  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-41  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from

Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness .

LU-42  Being forty days tempted of the devil And in those days

he did eat nothing and when they were ended he afterward

hungered .

LU-43  And the devil said unto him If thou be the Son of God

command this stone that it be made bread .

LU-44  And Jesus answered him saying It is written That man

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

LU-45  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-46  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-47  If thou therefore wilt worship me all shall be thine .

LU-48  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-49  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-410  For it is written He shall give his angels charge over

thee to keep thee .

LU-411  And in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any

time thou dash thy foot against a stone .

LU-412  And Jesus answering said unto him It is said Thou shalt

not tempt the Lord thy God .

LU-413  And when the devil had ended all the temptation he

departed from him for a season .

LU-414  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-415  And he taught in their synagogues being glorified of all

.

LU-416  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-417  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-418  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-419  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord .

LU-420  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-421  And he began to say unto them This day is this scripture

fulfilled in your ears .

LU-422  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-423  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-424  And he said Verily I say unto you No prophet is accepted

in his own country .

LU-425  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-426  But unto none of them was Elias sent save unto Sarepta a

city of Sidon unto a woman that was a widow .

LU-427  And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus

the prophet and none of them was cleansed saving Naaman the

Syrian .

LU-428  And all they in the synagogue when they heard these

things were filled with wrath .

LU-429  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-430  But he passing through the midst of them went his way .

LU-431  And came down to Capernaum a city of Galilee and taught

them on the sabbath days .

LU-432  And they were astonished at his doctrine for his word

was with power .

LU-433  And in the synagogue there was a man which had a spirit

of an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice .

LU-434  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-435  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-436  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-437  And the fame of him went out into every place of the

country round about .

LU-438  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-439  And he stood over her and rebuked the fever and it left

her and immediately she arose and ministered unto them .

LU-440  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-441  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-442  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-443  And he said unto them I must preach the kingdom of God

to other cities also for therefore am I sent .

LU-444  And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee .

* LU-51  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-52  And saw two ships standing by the lake but the fishermen

were gone out of them and were washing their nets .

LU-53  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-54  Now when he had left speaking he said unto Simon Launch

out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught .

LU-55  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-56  And when they had this done they enclosed a great

multitude of fishes and their net brake .

LU-57  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-58  When Simon Peter saw it he fell down at Jesus' knees

saying Depart from me for I am a sinful man O Lord .

LU-59  For he was astonished and all that were with him at the

draught of the fishes which they had taken .

LU-510  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-511  And when they had brought their ships to land they

forsook all and followed him .

LU-512  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-513  And he put forth his hand and touched him saying I will

be thou clean And immediately the leprosy departed from him .

LU-514  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-515  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-516  And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed .

LU-517  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-518  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-519  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-520  And when he saw their faith he said unto him Man thy

sins are forgiven thee .

LU-521  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason saying

Who is this which speaketh blasphemies Who can forgive sins but

God alone .

LU-522  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts he answering

said unto them What reason ye in your hearts .

LU-523  Whether is easier to say Thy sins be forgiven thee or to

say Rise up and walk .

LU-524  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-525  And immediately he rose up before them and took up that

whereon he lay and departed to his own house glorifying God .

LU-526  And they were all amazed and they glorified God and were

filled with fear saying We have seen strange things to day .

LU-527  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-528  And he left all rose up and followed him .

LU-529  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-530  But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his

disciples saying Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and

sinners .

LU-531  And Jesus answering said unto them They that are whole

need not a physician but they that are sick .

LU-532  I came not to call the righteous but sinners to

repentance .

LU-533  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-534  And he said unto them Can ye make the children of the

bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them .

LU-535  But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be

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

LU-536  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-537  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-538  But new wine must be put into new bottles and both are

preserved .

LU-539  No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth

new for he saith The old is better .

* LU-61  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-62  And certain of the Pharisees said unto them Why do ye

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

LU-63  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-64  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-65  And he said unto them That the Son of man is Lord also of

the sabbath .

LU-66  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-67  And the scribes and Pharisees watched him whether he

would heal on the sabbath day that they might find an accusation

against him .

LU-68  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-69  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-610  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-611  And they were filled with madness and communed one with

another what they might do to Jesus .

LU-612  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-613  And when it was day he called unto him his disciples and

of them he chose twelve whom also he named apostles .

LU-614  Simon whom he also named Peter and Andrew his brother

James and John Philip and Bartholomew .

LU-615  Matthew and Thomas James the son of Alphaeus and Simon

called Zelotes .

LU-616  And Judas the brother of James and Judas Iscariot which

also was the traitor .

LU-617  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-618  And they that were vexed with unclean spirits and they

were healed .

LU-619  And the whole multitude sought to touch him for there

went virtue out of him and healed them all .

LU-620  And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said

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

LU-621  Blessed are ye that hunger now for ye shall be filled

Blessed are ye that weep now for ye shall laugh .

LU-622  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-623  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-624  But woe unto you that are rich for ye have received your

consolation .

LU-625  Woe unto you that are full for ye shall hunger Woe unto

you that laugh now for ye shall mourn and weep .

LU-626  Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you for so

did their fathers to the false prophets .

LU-627  But I say unto you which hear Love your enemies do good

to them which hate you .

LU-628  Bless them that curse you and pray for them which

despitefully use you .

LU-629  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-630  Give to every man that asketh of thee and of him that

taketh away thy goods ask them not again .

LU-631  And as ye would that men should do to you do ye also to

them likewise .

LU-632  For if ye love them which love you what thank have ye

for sinners also love those that love them .

LU-633  And if ye do good to them which do good to you what

thank have ye for sinners also do even the same .

LU-634  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-635  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-636  Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful

.

LU-637  Judge not and ye shall not be judged condemn not and ye

shall not be condemned forgive and ye shall be forgiven .

LU-638  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-639  And he spake a parable unto them Can the blind lead the

blind shall they not both fall into the ditch .

LU-640  The disciple is not above his master but every one that

is perfect shall be as his master .

LU-641  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-642  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-643  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit neither

doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .

LU-644  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-645  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-646  And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which

I say .

LU-647  Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth

them I will show you to whom he is like .

LU-648  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-649  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-71  Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience

of the people he entered into Capernaum .

LU-72  And a certain centurion's servant who was dear unto him

was sick and ready to die .

LU-73  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-74  And when they came to Jesus they besought him instantly

saying That he was worthy for whom he should do this .

LU-75  For he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue

.

LU-76  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-77  Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto

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

LU-78  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-79  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-710  And they that were sent returning to the house found the

servant whole that had been sick .

LU-711  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-712  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-713  And when the Lord saw her he had compassion on her and

said unto her Weep not .

LU-714  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-715  And he that was dead sat up and began to speak And he

delivered him to his mother .

LU-716  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-717  And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea

and throughout all the region round about .

LU-718  And the disciples of John showed him of all these things

.

LU-719  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-720  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-721  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-722  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-723  And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me .

LU-724  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-725  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-726  But what went ye out for to see A prophet Yea I say unto

you and much more than a prophet .

LU-727  This is he of whom it is written Behold I send my

messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before

thee .

LU-728  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-729  And all the people that heard him and the publicans

justified God being baptized with the baptism of John .

LU-730  But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of

God against themselves being not baptized of him .

LU-731  And the Lord said Whereunto then shall I liken the men

of this generation and to what are they like .

LU-732  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-733  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor

drinking wine and ye say He hath a devil .

LU-734  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-735  But wisdom is justified of all her children .

LU-736  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-737  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-738  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-739  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-740  And Jesus answering said unto him Simon I have somewhat

to say unto thee And he saith Master say on .

LU-741  There was a certain creditor which had two debtors the

one owed five hundred pence and the other fifty .

LU-742  And when they had nothing to pay he frankly forgave them

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

LU-743  Simon answered and said I suppose that he to whom he

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

LU-744  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-745  Thou gavest me no kiss but this woman since the time I

came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet .

LU-746  My head with oil thou didst not anoint but this woman

hath anointed my feet with ointment .

LU-747  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-748  And he said unto her Thy sins are forgiven .

LU-749  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within

themselves Who is this that forgiveth sins also .

LU-750  And he said to the woman Thy faith hath saved thee go in

peace .

* LU-81  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-82  And certain women which had been healed of evil spirits

and infirmities Mary called Magdalene out of whom went seven

devils .

LU-83  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward and Susanna

and many others which ministered unto him of their substance .

LU-84  And when much people were gathered together and were come

to him out of every city he spake by a parable .

LU-85  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-86  And some fell upon a rock and as soon as it was sprung up

it withered away because it lacked moisture .

LU-87  And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with

it and choked it .

LU-88  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-89  And his disciples asked him saying What might this

parable be .

LU-810  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-811  Now the parable is this The seed is the word of God .

LU-812  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-813  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-814  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-815  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-816  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-817  For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest

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

LU-818  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-819  Then came to him his mother and his brethren and could

not come at him for the press .

LU-820  And it was told him by certain which said Thy mother and

thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee .

LU-821  And he answered and said unto them My mother and my

brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it .

LU-822  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-823  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-824  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-825  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-826  And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes which

is over against Galilee .

LU-827  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-828  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-829  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-830  And Jesus asked him saying What is thy name And he said

Legion because many devils were entered into him .

LU-831  And they besought him that he would not command them to

go out into the deep .

LU-832  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-833  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-834  When they that fed them saw what was done they fled and

went and told it in the city and in the country .

LU-835  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-836  They also which saw it told them by what means he that

was possessed of the devils was healed .

LU-837  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-838  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-839  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-840  And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the

people gladly received him for they were all waiting for him .

LU-841  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-842  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-843  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-844  Came behind him and touched the border of his garment

and immediately her issue of blood stanched .

LU-845  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-846  And Jesus said Somebody hath touched me for I perceive

that virtue is gone out of me .

LU-847  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-848  And he said unto her Daughter be of good comfort thy

faith hath made thee whole go in peace .

LU-849  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-850  But when Jesus heard it he answered him saying Fear not

believe only and she shall be made whole .

LU-851  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-852  And all wept and bewailed her but he said Weep not she

is not dead but sleepeth .

LU-853  And they laughed him to scorn knowing that she was dead .

LU-854  And he put them all out and took her by the hand and

called saying Maid arise .

LU-855  And her spirit came again and she arose straightway and

he commanded to give her meat .

LU-856  And her parents were astonished but he charged them that

they should tell no man what was done .

* LU-91  Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave

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

LU-92  And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal

the sick .

LU-93  And he said unto them Take nothing for your journey

neither staves nor scrip neither bread neither money neither

have two coats apiece .

LU-94  And whatsoever house ye enter into there abide and thence

depart .

LU-95  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-96  And they departed and went through the towns preaching

the gospel and healing every where .

LU-97  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-98  And of some that Elias had appeared and of others that

one of the old prophets was risen again .

LU-99  And Herod said John have I beheaded but who is this of

whom I hear such things And he desired to see him .

LU-910  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-911  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-912  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-913  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-914  For they were about five thousand men And he said to his

disciples Make them sit down by fifties in a company .

LU-915  And they did so and made them all sit down .

LU-916  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-917  And they did eat and were all filled and there was taken

up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets .

LU-918  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-919  They answering said John the Baptist but some say Elias

and others say that one of the old prophets is risen again .

LU-920  He said unto them But whom say ye that I am Peter

answering said The Christ of God .

LU-921  And he straitly charged them and commanded them to tell

no man that thing .

LU-922  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-923  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-924  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it but

whosoever will lose his life for my sake the same shall save it .

LU-925  For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world

and lose himself or be cast away .

LU-926  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-927  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-928  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-929  And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance was

altered and his raiment was white and glistering .

LU-930  And behold there talked with him two men which were

Moses and Elias .

LU-931  Who appeared in glory and spake of his decease which he

should accomplish at Jerusalem .

LU-932  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-933  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-934  While he thus spake there came a cloud and overshadowed

them and they feared as they entered into the cloud .

LU-935  And there came a voice out of the cloud saying This is

my beloved Son hear him .

LU-936  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-937  And it came to pass that on the next day when they were

come down from the hill much people met him .

LU-938  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-939  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-940  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they

could not .

LU-941  And Jesus answering said O faithless and perverse

generation how long shall I be with you and suffer you Bring thy

son hither .

LU-942  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-943  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-944  Let these sayings sink down into your ears for the Son

of man shall be delivered into the hands of men .

LU-945  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-946  Then there arose a reasoning among them which of them

should be greatest .

LU-947  And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart took a

child and set him by him .

LU-948  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-949  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-950  And Jesus said unto him Forbid him not for he that is

not against us is for us .

LU-951  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-952  And sent messengers before his face and they went and

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

LU-953  And they did not receive him because his face was as

though he would go to Jerusalem .

LU-954  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-955  But he turned and rebuked them and said Ye know not what

manner of spirit ye are of .

LU-956  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives

but to save them And they went to another village .

LU-957  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-958  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-959  And he said unto another Follow me But he said Lord

suffer me first to go and bury my father .

LU-960  Jesus said unto him Let the dead bury their dead but go

thou and preach the kingdom of God .

LU-961  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-962  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-101  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-102  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-103  Go your ways behold I send you forth as lambs among

wolves .

LU-104  Carry neither purse nor scrip nor shoes and salute no

man by the way .

LU-105  And into whatsoever house ye enter first say Peace be to

this house .

LU-106  And if the son of peace be there your peace shall rest

upon it if not it shall turn to you again .

LU-107  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-108  And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you

eat such things as are set before you .

LU-109  And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them The

kingdom of God is come nigh unto you .

LU-1010  But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you

not go your ways out into the streets of the same and say .

LU-1011  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-1012  But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in

that day for Sodom than for that city .

LU-1013  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-1014  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at

the judgment than for you .

LU-1015  And thou Capernaum which art exalted to heaven shalt be

thrust down to hell .

LU-1016  He that heareth you heareth me and he that despiseth

you despiseth me and he that despiseth me despiseth him that

sent me .

LU-1017  And the seventy returned again with joy saying Lord

even the devils are subject unto us through thy name .

LU-1018  And he said unto them I beheld Satan as lightning fall

from heaven .

LU-1019  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-1020  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits

are subject unto you but rather rejoice because your names are

written in heaven .

LU-1021  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-1022  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-1023  And he turned him unto his disciples and said privately

Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see .

LU-1024  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-1025  And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him

saying Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life .

LU-1026  He said unto him What is written in the law how readest

thou .

LU-1027  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-1028  And he said unto him Thou hast answered right this do

and thou shalt live .

LU-1029  But he willing to justify himself said unto Jesus And

who is my neighbour .

LU-1030  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-1031  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way

and when he saw him he passed by on the other side .

LU-1032  And likewise a Levite when he was at the place came and

looked on him and passed by on the other side .

LU-1033  But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came where he

was and when he saw him he had compassion on him .

LU-1034  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-1035  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-1036  Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbour

unto him that fell among the thieves .

LU-1037  And he said He that showed mercy on him Then said Jesus

unto him Go and do thou likewise .

LU-1038  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-1039  And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at

Jesus' feet and heard his word .

LU-1040  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-1041  And Jesus answered and said unto her Martha Martha thou

art careful and troubled about many things .

LU-1042  But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good

part which shall not be taken away from her .

* LU-111  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-112  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-113  Give us day by day our daily bread .

LU-114  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-115  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-116  For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me and I

have nothing to set before him .

LU-117  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-118  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-119  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-1110  For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh

findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .

LU-1111  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-1112  Or if he shall ask an egg will he offer him a scorpion .

LU-1113  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-1114  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-1115  But some of them said He casteth out devils through

Beelzebub the chief of the devils .

LU-1116  And others tempting him sought of him a sign from

heaven .

LU-1117  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-1118  If Satan also be divided against himself how shall his

kingdom stand because ye say that I cast out devils through

Beelzebub .

LU-1119  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils by whom do your

sons cast them out therefore shall they be your judges .

LU-1120  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils no

doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you .

LU-1121  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace his goods

are in peace .

LU-1122  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-1123  He that is not with me is against me and he that

gathereth not with me scattereth .

LU-1124  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-1125  And when he cometh he findeth it swept and garnished .

LU-1126  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-1127  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-1128  But he said Yea rather blessed are they that hear the

word of God and keep it .

LU-1129  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-1130  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites so shall

also the Son of man be to this generation .

LU-1131  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-1132  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-1133  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-1134  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-1135  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be

not darkness .

LU-1136  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-1137  And as he spake a certain Pharisee besought him to dine

with him and he went in and sat down to meat .

LU-1138  And when the Pharisee saw it he marvelled that he had

not first washed before dinner .

LU-1139  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-1140  Ye fools did not he that made that which is without

make that which is within also .

LU-1141  But rather give alms of such things as ye have and

behold all things are clean unto you .

LU-1142  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-1143  Woe unto you Pharisees for ye love the uppermost seats

in the synagogues and greetings in the markets .

LU-1144  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-1145  Then answered one of the lawyers and said unto him

Master thus saying thou reproachest us also .

LU-1146  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-1147  Woe unto you for ye build the sepulchres of the

prophets and your fathers killed them .

LU-1148  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your

fathers for they indeed killed them and ye build their

sepulchres .

LU-1149  Therefore also said the wisdom of God I will send them

prophets and apostles and some of them they shall slay and

persecute .

LU-1150  That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from

the foundation of the world may be required of this generation .

LU-1151  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-1152  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-1153  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-1154  Laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out

of his mouth that they might accuse him .

* LU-121  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-122  For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed

neither hid that shall not be known .

LU-123  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-124  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-125  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-126  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings and not one

of them is forgotten before God .

LU-127  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered

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

LU-128  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-129  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before

the angels of God .

LU-1210  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-1211  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-1212  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour

what ye ought to say .

LU-1213  And one of the company said unto him Master speak to my

brother that he divide the inheritance with me .

LU-1214  And he said unto him Man who made me a judge or a

divider over you .

LU-1215  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-1216  And he spake a parable unto them saying The ground of a

certain rich man brought forth plentifully .

LU-1217  And he thought within himself saying What shall I do

because I have no room where to bestow my fruits .

LU-1218  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-1219  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-1220  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-1221  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not

rich toward God .

LU-1222  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-1223  The life is more than meat and the body is more than

raiment .

LU-1224  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-1225  And which of you with taking thought can add to his

stature one cubit .

LU-1226  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least

why take ye thought for the rest .

LU-1227  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-1228  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-1229  And seek not ye what ye shall eat or what ye shall

drink neither be ye of doubtful mind .

LU-1230  For all these things do the nations of the world seek

after and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things .

LU-1231  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these

things shall be added unto you .

LU-1232  Fear not little flock for it is your Father's good

pleasure to give you the kingdom .

LU-1233  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-1234  For where your treasure is there will your heart be

also .

LU-1235  Let your loins be girded about and your lights burning .

LU-1236  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-1237  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-1238  And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the

third watch and find them so blessed are those servants .

LU-1239  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-1240  Be ye therefore ready also for the Son of man cometh at

an hour when ye think not .

LU-1241  Then Peter said unto him Lord speakest thou this

parable unto us or even to all .

LU-1242  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-1243  Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh

shall find so doing .

LU-1244  Of a truth I say unto you that he will make him ruler

over all that he hath .

LU-1245  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-1246  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-1247  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-1248  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-1249  I am come to send fire on the earth and what will I if

it be already kindled .

LU-1250  But I have a baptism to be baptized with and how am I

straitened till it be accomplished .

LU-1251  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth I tell

you Nay but rather division .

LU-1252  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house

divided three against two and two against three .

LU-1253  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-1254  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-1255  And when ye see the south wind blow ye say There will

be heat and it cometh to pass .

LU-1256  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-1257  Yea and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is

right .

LU-1258  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-1259  I tell thee thou shalt not depart thence till thou hast

paid the very last mite .

* LU-131  There were present at that season some that told him

of the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their

sacrifices .

LU-132  And Jesus answering said unto them Suppose ye that these

Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans because they

suffered such things .

LU-133  I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all

likewise perish .

LU-134  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-135  I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all

likewise perish .

LU-136  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-137  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-138  And he answering said unto him Lord let it alone this

year also till I shall dig about it and dung it .

LU-139  And if it bear fruit well and if not then after that

thou shalt cut it down .

LU-1310  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the

sabbath .

LU-1311  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-1312  And when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said

unto her Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity .

LU-1313  And he laid his hands on her and immediately she was

made straight and glorified God .

LU-1314  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-1315  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-1316  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-1317  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-1318  Then said he Unto what is the kingdom of God like and

whereunto shall I resemble it .

LU-1319  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-1320  And again he said Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom

of God .

LU-1321  It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three

measures of meal till the whole was leavened .

LU-1322  And he went through the cities and villages teaching

and journeying toward Jerusalem .

LU-1323  Then said one unto him Lord are there few that be saved

And he said unto them .

LU-1324  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-1325  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-1326  Then shall ye begin to say We have eaten and drunk in

thy presence and thou hast taught in our streets .

LU-1327  But he shall say I tell you I know you not whence ye

are depart from me all ye workers of iniquity .

LU-1328  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-1329  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-1330  And behold there are last which shall be first and

there are first which shall be last .

LU-1331  The same day there came certain of the Pharisees saying

unto him Get thee out and depart hence for Herod will kill thee .

LU-1332  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-1333  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-1334  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-1335  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-141  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-142  And behold there was a certain man before him which had

the dropsy .

LU-143  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees

saying Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day .

LU-144  And they held their peace And he took him and healed him

and let him go .

LU-145  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-146  And they could not answer him again to these things .

LU-147  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-148  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-149  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-1410  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-1411  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased and he

that humbleth himself shall be exalted .

LU-1412  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-1413  But when thou makest a feast call the poor the maimed

the lame the blind .

LU-1414  And thou shalt be blessed for they cannot recompense

thee for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the

just .

LU-1415  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-1416  Then said he unto him A certain man made a great supper

and bade many .

LU-1417  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that

were bidden Come for all things are now ready .

LU-1418  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-1419  And another said I have bought five yoke of oxen and I

go to prove them I pray thee have me excused .

LU-1420  And another said I have married a wife and therefore I

cannot come .

LU-1421  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-1422  And the servant said Lord it is done as thou hast

commanded and yet there is room .

LU-1423  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-1424  For I say unto you That none of those men which were

bidden shall taste of my supper .

LU-1425  And there went great multitudes with him and he turned

and said unto them .

LU-1426  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-1427  And whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me

cannot be my disciple .

LU-1428  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-1429  Lest haply after he hath laid the foundation and is not

able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him .

LU-1430  Saying This man began to build and was not able to

finish .

LU-1431  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-1432  Or else while the other is yet a great way off he

sendeth an ambassage and desireth conditions of peace .

LU-1433  So likewise whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not

all that he hath he cannot be my disciple .

LU-1434  Salt is good but if the salt have lost his savour

wherewith shall it be seasoned .

LU-1435  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-151  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners

for to hear him .

LU-152  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured saying This man

receiveth sinners and eateth with them .

LU-153  And he spake this parable unto them saying .

LU-154  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-155  And when he hath found it he layeth it on his shoulders

rejoicing .

LU-156  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-157  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-158  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-159  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-1510  Likewise I say unto you there is joy in the presence of

the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth .

LU-1511  And he said A certain man had two sons .

LU-1512  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-1513  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-1514  And when he had spent all there arose a mighty famine

in that land and he began to be in want .

LU-1515  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that

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

LU-1516  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks

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

LU-1517  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-1518  I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him

Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee .

LU-1519  And am no more worthy to be called thy son make me as

one of thy hired servants .

LU-1520  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-1521  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-1522  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-1523  And bring hither the fatted calf and kill it and let us

eat and be merry .

LU-1524  For this my son was dead and is alive again he was lost

and is found And they began to be merry .

LU-1525  Now his elder son was in the field and as he came and

drew nigh to the house he heard music and dancing .

LU-1526  And he called one of the servants and asked what these

things meant .

LU-1527  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-1528  And he was angry and would not go in therefore came his

father out and entreated him .

LU-1529  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-1530  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-1531  And he said unto him Son thou art ever with me and all

that I have is thine .

LU-1532  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-161  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-162  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-163  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-164  I am resolved what to do that when I am put out of the

stewardship they may receive me into their houses .

LU-165  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-166  And he said An hundred measures of oil And he said unto

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

LU-167  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-168  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-169  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-1610  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-1611  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the

unrighteous mammon who will commit to your trust the true riches

.

LU-1612  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is

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

LU-1613  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-1614  And the Pharisees also who were covetous heard all

these things and they derided him .

LU-1615  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-1616  The law and the prophets were until John since that

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

it .

LU-1617  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one

tittle of the law to fail .

LU-1618  Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another

committeth adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is put away

from her husband committeth adultery .

LU-1619  There was a certain rich man which was clothed in

purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day .

LU-1620  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was

laid at his gate full of sores .

LU-1621  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-1622  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-1623  And in hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and

seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom .

LU-1624  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-1625  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-1626  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-1627  Then he said I pray thee therefore father that thou

wouldest send him to my father's house .

LU-1628  For I have five brethren that he may testify unto them

lest they also come into this place of torment .

LU-1629  Abraham saith unto him They have Moses and the prophets

let them hear them .

LU-1630  And he said Nay father Abraham but if one went unto

them from the dead they will repent .

LU-1631  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-171  Then said he unto the disciples It is impossible but

that offences will come but woe unto him through whom they come .

LU-172  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-173  Take heed to yourselves If thy brother trespass against

thee rebuke him and if he repent forgive him .

LU-174  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-175  And the apostles said unto the Lord Increase our faith .

LU-176  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-177  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-178  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-179  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things

that were commanded him I trow not .

LU-1710  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-1711  And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he

passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee .

LU-1712  And as he entered into a certain village there met him

ten men that were lepers which stood afar off .

LU-1713  And they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master

have mercy on us .

LU-1714  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-1715  And one of them when he saw that he was healed turned

back and with a loud voice glorified God .

LU-1716  And fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks

and he was a Samaritan .

LU-1717  And Jesus answering said Were there not ten cleansed

but where are the nine .

LU-1718  There are not found that returned to give glory to God

save this stranger .

LU-1719  And he said unto him Arise go thy way thy faith hath

made thee whole .

LU-1720  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-1721  Neither shall they say Lo here or lo there for behold

the kingdom of God is within you .

LU-1722  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-1723  And they shall say to you See here or see there go not

after them nor follow them .

LU-1724  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-1725  But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of

this generation .

LU-1726  And as it was in the days of Noe so shall it be also in

the days of the Son of man .

LU-1727  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-1728  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot they did eat

they drank they bought they sold they planted they builded .

LU-1729  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained

fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all .

LU-1730  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is

revealed .

LU-1731  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-1732  Remember Lot's wife .

LU-1733  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it and

whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it .

LU-1734  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-1735  Two women shall be grinding together the one shall be

taken and the other left .

LU-1736  Two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken

and the other left .

LU-1737  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-181  And he spake a parable unto them to this end that men

ought always to pray and not to faint .

LU-182  Saying There was in a city a judge which feared not God

neither regarded man .

LU-183  And there was a widow in that city and she came unto him

saying Avenge me of mine adversary .

LU-184  And he would not for a while but afterward he said

within himself Though I fear not God nor regard man .

LU-185  Yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her

lest by her continual coming she weary me .

LU-186  And the Lord said Hear what the unjust judge saith .

LU-187  And shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and

night unto him though he bear long with them .

LU-188  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily

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

the earth .

LU-189  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in

themselves that they were righteous and despised others .

LU-1810  Two men went up into the temple to pray the one a

Pharisee and the other a publican .

LU-1811  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-1812  I fast twice in the week I give tithes of all that I

possess .

LU-1813  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-1814  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-1815  And they brought unto him also infants that he would

touch them but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them .

LU-1816  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-1817  Verily I say unto you Whosoever shall not receive the

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

LU-1818  And a certain ruler asked him saying Good Master what

shall I do to inherit eternal life .

LU-1819  And Jesus said unto him Why callest thou me good none

is good save one that is God .

LU-1820  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-1821  And he said All these have I kept from my youth up .

LU-1822  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-1823  And when he heard this he was very sorrowful for he was

very rich .

LU-1824  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-1825  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-1826  And they that heard it said Who then can be saved .

LU-1827  And he said The things which are impossible with men

are possible with God .

LU-1828  Then Peter said Lo we have left all and followed thee .

LU-1829  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-1830  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present

time and in the world to come life everlasting .

LU-1831  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-1832  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall

be mocked and spitefully entreated and spitted on .

LU-1833  And they shall scourge him and put him to death and the

third day he shall rise again .

LU-1834  And they understood none of these things and this

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

spoken .

LU-1835  And it came to pass that as he was come nigh unto

Jericho a certain blind man sat by the way side begging .

LU-1836  And hearing the multitude pass by he asked what it

meant .

LU-1837  And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by .

LU-1838  And he cried saying Jesus thou son of David have mercy

on me .

LU-1839  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-1840  And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto

him and when he was come near he asked him .

LU-1841  Saying What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee And he

said Lord that I may receive my sight .

LU-1842  And Jesus said unto him Receive thy sight thy faith

hath saved thee .

LU-1843  And immediately he received his sight and followed him

glorifying God and all the people when they saw it gave praise

unto God .

* LU-191  And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho .

LU-192  And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus which was the

chief among the publicans and he was rich .

LU-193  And he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for

the press because he was little of stature .

LU-194  And he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to

see him for he was to pass that way .

LU-195  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-196  And he made haste and came down and received him

joyfully .

LU-197  And when they saw it they all murmured saying That he

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

LU-198  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-199  And Jesus said unto him This day is salvation come to

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

LU-1910  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that

which was lost .

LU-1911  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-1912  He said therefore A certain nobleman went into a far

country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return .

LU-1913  And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten

pounds and said unto them Occupy till I come .

LU-1914  But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him

saying We will not have this man to reign over us .

LU-1915  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-1916  Then came the first saying Lord thy pound hath gained

ten pounds .

LU-1917  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-1918  And the second came saying Lord thy pound hath gained

five pounds .

LU-1919  And he said likewise to him Be thou also over five

cities .

LU-1920  And another came saying Lord behold here is thy pound

which I have kept laid up in a napkin .

LU-1921  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-1922  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-1923  Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank

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

LU-1924  And he said unto them that stood by Take from him the

pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds .

LU-1925  And they said unto him Lord he hath ten pounds .

LU-1926  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-1927  But those mine enemies which would not that I should

reign over them bring hither and slay them before me .

LU-1928  And when he had thus spoken he went before ascending up

to Jerusalem .

LU-1929  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-1930  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-1931  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-1932  And they that were sent went their way and found even

as he had said unto them .

LU-1933  And as they were loosing the colt the owners thereof

said unto them Why loose ye the colt .

LU-1934  And they said The Lord hath need of him .

LU-1935  And they brought him to Jesus and they cast their

garments upon the colt and they set Jesus thereon .

LU-1936  And as he went they spread their clothes in the way .

LU-1937  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-1938  Saying Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of

the Lord peace in heaven and glory in the highest .

LU-1939  And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said

unto him Master rebuke thy disciples .

LU-1940  And he answered and said unto them I tell you that if

these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry

out .

LU-1941  And when he was come near he beheld the city and wept

over it .

LU-1942  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-1943  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-1944  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-1945  And he went into the temple and began to cast out them

that sold therein and them that bought .

LU-1946  Saying unto them It is written My house is the house of

prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves .

LU-1947  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-1948  And could not find what they might do for all the

people were very attentive to hear him .

* LU-201  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-202  And spake unto him saying Tell us by what authority

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

authority .

LU-203  And he answered and said unto them I will also ask you

one thing and answer me .

LU-204  The baptism of John was it from heaven or of men .

LU-205  And they reasoned with themselves saying If we shall say

From heaven he will say Why then believed ye him not .

LU-206  But and if we say Of men all the people will stone us

for they be persuaded that John was a prophet .

LU-207  And they answered that they could not tell whence it was

.

LU-208  And Jesus said unto them Neither tell I you by what

authority I do these things .

LU-209  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-2010  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-2011  And again he sent another servant and they beat him

also and entreated him shamefully and sent him away empty .

LU-2012  And again he sent a third and they wounded him also and

cast him out .

LU-2013  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-2014  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-2015  So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him

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

LU-2016  He shall come and destroy these husbandmen and shall

give the vineyard to others And when they heard it they said God

forbid .

LU-2017  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-2018  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken

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

LU-2019  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-2020  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-2021  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-2022  Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar or no .

LU-2023  But he perceived their craftiness and said unto them

Why tempt ye me .

LU-2024  Show me a penny Whose image and superscription hath it

They answered and said Caesar's .

LU-2025  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-2026  And they could not take hold of his words before the

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

LU-2027  Then came to him certain of the Sadducees which deny

that there is any resurrection and they asked him .

LU-2028  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-2029  There were therefore seven brethren and the first took

a wife and died without children .

LU-2030  And the second took her to wife and he died childless .

LU-2031  And the third took her and in like manner the seven

also and they left no children and died .

LU-2032  Last of all the woman died also .

LU-2033  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she

for seven had her to wife .

LU-2034  And Jesus answering said unto them The children of this

world marry and are given in marriage .

LU-2035  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-2036  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-2037  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-2038  For he is not a God of the dead but of the living for

all live unto him .

LU-2039  Then certain of the scribes answering said Master thou

hast well said .

LU-2040  And after that they durst not ask him any question at

all .

LU-2041  And he said unto them How say they that Christ is

David's son .

LU-2042  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms The Lord

said unto my Lord Sit thou on my right hand .

LU-2043  Till I make thine enemies thy footstool .

LU-2044  David therefore calleth him Lord how is he then his son

.

LU-2045  Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his

disciples .

LU-2046  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-2047  Which devour widows' houses and for a show make long

prayers the same shall receive greater damnation .

* LU-211  And he looked up and saw the rich men casting their

gifts into the treasury .

LU-212  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither

two mites .

LU-213  And he said Of a truth I say unto you that this poor

widow hath cast in more than they all .

LU-214  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-215  And as some spake of the temple how it was adorned with

goodly stones and gifts he said .

LU-216  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-217  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-218  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-219  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-2110  Then said he unto them Nation shall rise against nation

and kingdom against kingdom .

LU-2111  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places and

famines and pestilences and fearful sights and great signs shall

there be from heaven .

LU-2112  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-2113  And it shall turn to you for a testimony .

LU-2114  Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate

before what ye shall answer .

LU-2115  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your

adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist .

LU-2116  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-2117  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake .

LU-2118  But there shall not an hair of your head perish .

LU-2119  In your patience possess ye your souls .

LU-2120  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies

then know that the desolation thereof is nigh .

LU-2121  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-2122  For these be the days of vengeance that all things

which are written may be fulfilled .

LU-2123  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-2124  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-2125  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-2126  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-2127  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a

cloud with power and great glory .

LU-2128  And when these things begin to come to pass then look

up and lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh .

LU-2129  And he spake to them a parable Behold the fig tree and

all the trees .

LU-2130  When they now shoot forth ye see and know of your own

selves that summer is now nigh at hand .

LU-2131  So likewise ye when ye see these things come to pass

know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand .

LU-2132  Verily I say unto you This generation shall not pass

away till all be fulfilled .

LU-2133  Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not

pass away .

LU-2134  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-2135  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on

the face of the whole earth .

LU-2136  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-2137  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-2138  And all the people came early in the morning to him in

the temple for to hear him .

* LU-221  Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh which is

called the Passover .

LU-222  And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might

kill him for they feared the people .

LU-223  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot being of

the number of the twelve .

LU-224  And he went his way and communed with the chief priests

and captains how he might betray him unto them .

LU-225  And they were glad and covenanted to give him money .

LU-226  And he promised and sought opportunity to betray him

unto them in the absence of the multitude .

LU-227  Then came the day of unleavened bread when the passover

must be killed .

LU-228  And he sent Peter and John saying Go and prepare us the

passover that we may eat .

LU-229  And they said unto him Where wilt thou that we prepare .

LU-2210  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-2211  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-2212  And he shall show you a large upper room furnished

there make ready .

LU-2213  And they went and found as he had said unto them and

they made ready the passover .

LU-2214  And when the hour was come he sat down and the twelve

apostles with him .

LU-2215  And he said unto them With desire I have desired to eat

this passover with you before I suffer .

LU-2216  For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof

until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God .

LU-2217  And he took the cup and gave thanks and said Take this

and divide it among yourselves .

LU-2218  For I say unto you I will not drink of the fruit of the

vine until the kingdom of God shall come .

LU-2219  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-2220  Likewise also the cup after supper saying This cup is

the new testament in my blood which is shed for you .

LU-2221  But behold the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me

on the table .

LU-2222  And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined but

woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed .

LU-2223  And they began to inquire among themselves which of

them it was that should do this thing .

LU-2224  And there was also a strife among them which of them

should be accounted the greatest .

LU-2225  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-2226  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-2227  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-2228  Ye are they which have continued with me in my

temptations .

LU-2229  And I appoint unto you a kingdom as my Father hath

appointed unto me .

LU-2230  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and

sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel .

LU-2231  And the Lord said Simon Simon behold Satan hath desired

to have you that he may sift you as wheat .

LU-2232  But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not and

when thou art converted strengthen thy brethren .

LU-2233  And he said unto him Lord I am ready to go with thee

both into prison and to death .

LU-2234  And he said I tell thee Peter the cock shall not crow

this day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me

.

LU-2235  And he said unto them When I sent you without purse and

scrip and shoes lacked ye any thing And they said Nothing .

LU-2236  Then said he unto them But now he that hath a purse let

him take it and likewise his scrip and he that hath no sword let

him sell his garment and buy one .

LU-2237  For I say unto you that this that is written must yet

be accomplished in me And he was reckoned among the

transgressors for the things concerning me have an end .

LU-2238  And they said Lord behold here are two swords And he

said unto them It is enough .

LU-2239  And he came out and went as he was wont to the mount of

Olives and his disciples also followed him .

LU-2240  And when he was at the place he said unto them Pray

that ye enter not into temptation .

LU-2241  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast and

kneeled down and prayed .

LU-2242  Saying Father if thou be willing remove this cup from

me nevertheless not my will but thine be done .

LU-2243  And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven

strengthening him .

LU-2244  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly and his

sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the

ground .

LU-2245  And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his

disciples he found them sleeping for sorrow .

LU-2246  And said unto them Why sleep ye rise and pray lest ye

enter into temptation .

LU-2247  And while he yet spake behold a multitude and he that

was called Judas one of the twelve went before them and drew
