Book 40        Matthew

40:001:001 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
           the son of Abraham.

40:001:002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
           Judas and his brethren;

40:001:003 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
           Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

40:001:004 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
           Naasson begat Salmon;

40:001:005 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
           and Obed begat Jesse;

40:001:006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
           Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

40:001:007 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
           begat Asa;

40:001:008 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
           begat Ozias;

40:001:009 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
           begat Ezekias;

40:001:010 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon
           begat Josias;

40:001:011 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
           they were carried away to Babylon:

40:001:012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
           Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

40:001:013 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
           Eliakim begat Azor;

40:001:014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
           Eliud;

40:001:015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
           Matthan begat Jacob;

40:001:016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
           Jesus, who is called Christ.

40:001:017 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
           generations; and from David until the carrying away into
           Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away
           into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

40:001:018 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
           mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together,
           she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

40:001:019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
           make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
           privily.

40:001:020 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
           LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
           David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
           which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

40:001:021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
           JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

40:001:022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
           spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

40:001:023 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
           son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
           interpreted is, God with us.

40:001:024 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
           Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

40:001:025 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
           and he called his name JESUS.

40:002:001 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
           Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
           Jerusalem,

40:002:002 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
           seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

40:002:003 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
           and all Jerusalem with him.

40:002:004 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
           the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
           be born.

40:002:005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
           written by the prophet,

40:002:006 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least
           among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a
           Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

40:002:007 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
           of them diligently what time the star appeared.

40:002:008 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
           diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him,
           bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

40:002:009 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
           star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
           came and stood over where the young child was.

40:002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
           joy.

40:002:011 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
           child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:
           and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto
           him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

40:002:012 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
           to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

40:002:013 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
           appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
           young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
           there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
           child to destroy him.

40:002:014 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
           night, and departed into Egypt:

40:002:015 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
           fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
           Out of Egypt have I called my son.

40:002:016 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
           was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
           that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from
           two years old and under, according to the time which he had
           diligently enquired of the wise men.

40:002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
           prophet, saying,

40:002:018 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
           great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not
           be comforted, because they are not.

40:002:019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
           appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

40:002:020 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go
           into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the
           young child's life.

40:002:021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
           came into the land of Israel.

40:002:022 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the
           room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
           notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned
           aside into the parts of Galilee:

40:002:023 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might
           be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be
           called a Nazarene.

40:003:001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
           wilderness of Judaea,

40:003:002 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

40:003:003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
           saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
           the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

40:003:004 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
           leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and
           wild honey.

40:003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
           region round about Jordan,

40:003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

40:003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
           his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
           hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

40:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

40:003:009 And think 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.

40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
           therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
           hewn down, and cast into the fire.

40:003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
           cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
           worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
           with fire:

40:003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
           floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn
           up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

40:003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
           baptized of him.

40:003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
           thee, and comest thou to me?

40:003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
           thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
           suffered him.

40:003:016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of
           the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he
           saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
           upon him:

40:003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
           whom I am well pleased.

40:004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be
           tempted of the devil.

40:004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
           afterward an hungred.

40:004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
           of God, command that these stones be made bread.

40:004:004 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
           bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
           mouth of God.

40:004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
           him on a pinnacle of the temple,

40:004:006 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
           down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge
           concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
           lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

40:004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
           the Lord thy God.

40:004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
           mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and
           the glory of them;

40:004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
           wilt fall down and worship me.

40:004:010 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
           written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
           shalt thou serve.

40:004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
           ministered unto him.

40:004:012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
           departed into Galilee;

40:004:013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is
           upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

40:004:014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
           prophet, saying,

40:004:015 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
           the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

40:004:016 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
           which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung
           up.

40:004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for
           the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

40:004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
           Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into
           the sea: for they were fishers.

40:004:019 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
           of men.

40:004:020 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

40:004:021 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the
           son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee
           their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

40:004:022 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and
           followed him.

40:004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
           synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
           healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among
           the people.

40:004:024 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto
           him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and
           torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and
           those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and
           he healed them.

40:004:025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from
           Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
           Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

40:005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and
           when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

40:005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

40:005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
           heaven.

40:005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

40:005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

40:005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
           righteousness: for they shall be filled.

40:005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

40:005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

40:005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
           children of God.

40:005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
           for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

40:005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
           and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
           sake.

40:005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
           heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
           you.

40:005:013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
           savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good
           for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot
           of men.

40:005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
           cannot be hid.

40:005:015 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
           on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the
           house.

40:005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
           good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

40:005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
           I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

40:005:018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot
           or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
           fulfilled.

40:005:019 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
           commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the
           least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and
           teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
           heaven.

40:005:020 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall
           exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye
           shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

40:005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt
           not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
           judgment:

40:005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
           without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
           whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger
           of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be
           in danger of hell fire.

40:005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
           rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

40:005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first
           be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy
           gift.

40:005:025 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way
           with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
           judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be
           cast into prison.

40:005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
           thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

40:005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
           not commit adultery:

40:005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
           after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
           heart.

40:005:029 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it
           from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
           members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
           cast into hell.

40:005:030 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it
           from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
           members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be
           cast into hell.

40:005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
           give her a writing of divorcement:

40:005:032 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
           saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
           adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
           committeth adultery.

40:005:033 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old
           time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto
           the Lord thine oaths:

40:005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for
           it is God's throne:

40:005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
           Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

40:005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
           make one hair white or black.

40:005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
           whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

40:005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
           tooth for a tooth:

40:005:039 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
           shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
           also.

40:005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
           coat, let him have thy cloak also.

40:005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
           twain.

40:005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
           of thee turn not thou away.

40:005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
           neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

40:005:044 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
           you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
           despitefully use you, and persecute you;

40:005:045 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
           for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
           sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

40:005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
           not even the publicans the same?

40:005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
           others? do not even the publicans so?

40:005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
           heaven is perfect.

40:006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
           them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in
           heaven.

40:006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet
           before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
           streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
           you, They have their reward.

40:006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
           right hand doeth:

40:006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
           in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

40:006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
           are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in
           the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
           Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

40:006:006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
           thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
           secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
           openly.

40:006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
           for they think that they shall be heard for their much
           speaking.

40:006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
           what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

40:006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
           heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

40:006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
           heaven.

40:006:011 Give us this day our daily bread.

40:006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

40:006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
           thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
           Amen.

40:006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
           will also forgive you:

40:006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
           Father forgive your trespasses.

40:006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
           countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
           appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
           their reward.

40:006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
           face;

40:006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
           which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
           shall reward thee openly.

40:006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
           rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

40:006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
           moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
           through nor steal:

40:006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

40:006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
           single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

40:006:023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
           darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
           how great is that darkness!

40:006:024 No man 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.

40:006:025 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
           ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
           what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
           body than raiment?

40:006:026 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
           reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
           them. Are ye not much better than they?

40:006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
           stature?

40:006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
           the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

40:006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
           not arrayed like one of these.

40:006:030 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
           day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much
           more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

40:006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
           shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

40:006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
           heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

40:006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
           and all these things shall be added unto you.

40:006:034 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
           take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
           is the evil thereof.

40:007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

40:007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
           what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

40:007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
           but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

40:007:004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
           out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

40:007:005 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
           and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
           thy brother's eye.

40:007:006 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
           your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
           feet, and turn again and rend you.

40:007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
           knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

40:007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
           findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

40:007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
           he give him a stone?

40:007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

40:007:011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
           children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
           give good things to them that ask him?

40:007:012 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
           you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
           prophets.

40:007:013 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
           broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there
           be which go in thereat:

40:007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
           leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

40:007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
           clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

40:007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
           thorns, or figs of thistles?

40:007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
           corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

40:007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
           corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

40:007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
           and cast into the fire.

40:007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

40:007:021 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
           the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
           which is in heaven.

40:007:022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
           prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
           and in thy name done many wonderful works?

40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
           from me, ye that work iniquity.

40:007:024 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
           them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
           upon a rock:

40:007:025 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
           blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
           founded upon a rock.

40:007:026 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
           them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
           house upon the sand:

40:007:027 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
           blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the
           fall of it.

40:007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
           people were astonished at his doctrine:

40:007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
           scribes.

40:008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
           followed him.

40:008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
           Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

40:008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
           be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

40:008:004 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy
           way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
           commanded, for a testimony unto them.

40:008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him
           a centurion, beseeching him,

40:008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
           grievously tormented.

40:008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

40:008:008 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
           thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only,
           and my servant shall be healed.

40:008:009 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and
           I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and
           he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

40:008:010 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
           followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
           faith, no, not in Israel.

40:008:011 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
           west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
           in the kingdom of heaven.

40:008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
           darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:008:013 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou
           hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was
           healed in the selfsame hour.

40:008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
           mother laid, and sick of a fever.

40:008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
           arose, and ministered unto them.

40:008:016 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were
           possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his
           word, and healed all that were sick:

40:008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
           prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
           sicknesses.

40:008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
           commandment to depart unto the other side.

40:008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
           follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

40:008:020 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds
           of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to
           lay his head.

40:008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me
           first to go and bury my father.

40:008:022 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
           their dead.

40:008:023 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
           him.

40:008:024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
           that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

40:008:025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
           save us: we perish.

40:008:026 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
           faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
           there was a great calm.

40:008:027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
           that even the winds and the sea obey him!

40:008:028 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the
           Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming
           out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass
           by that way.

40:008:029 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with
           thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment
           us before the time?

40:008:030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine
           feeding.

40:008:031 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
           suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

40:008:032 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they
           went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of
           swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and
           perished in the waters.

40:008:033 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the
           city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the
           possessed of the devils.

40:008:034 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when
           they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of
           their coasts.

40:009:001 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his
           own city.

40:009:002 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,
           lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the
           sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
           thee.

40:009:003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
           This man blasphemeth.

40:009:004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil
           in your hearts?

40:009:005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
           to say, Arise, and walk?

40:009:006 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
           to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,)
           Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

40:009:007 And he arose, and departed to his house.

40:009:008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
           God, which had given such power unto men.

40:009:009 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
           Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto
           him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

40:009:010 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house,
           behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him
           and his disciples.

40:009:011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
           Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

40:009:012 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
           whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

40:009:013 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
           not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but
           sinners to repentance.

40:009:014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
           the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

40:009:015 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
           mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days
           will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and
           then shall they fast.

40:009:016 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for
           that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment,
           and the rent is made worse.

40:009:017 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
           break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but
           they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

40:009:018 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a
           certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even
           now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall
           live.

40:009:019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

40:009:020 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
           blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of
           his garment:

40:009:021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
           shall be whole.

40:009:022 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
           Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.
           And the woman was made whole from that hour.

40:009:023 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
           minstrels and the people making a noise,

40:009:024 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
           sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

40:009:025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
           by the hand, and the maid arose.

40:009:026 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

40:009:027 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
           crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

40:009:028 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to
           him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to
           do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

40:009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
           it unto you.

40:009:030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
           saying, See that no man know it.

40:009:031 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
           all that country.

40:009:032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
           possessed with a devil.

40:009:033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
           multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

40:009:034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
           prince of the devils.

40:009:035 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in
           their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
           healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

40:009:036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion
           on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
           sheep having no shepherd.

40:009:037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
           plenteous, but the labourers are few;

40:009:038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
           forth labourers into his harvest.

40:010:001 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave
           them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to
           heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

40:010:002 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
           Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the
           son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

40:010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
           James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was
           Thaddaeus;

40:010:004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
           him.

40:010:005 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go
           not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
           Samaritans enter ye not:

40:010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

40:010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
           hand.

40:010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
           devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

40:010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

40:010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
           nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

40:010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
           in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

40:010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

40:010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
           if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

40:010:014 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when
           ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of
           your feet.

40:010:015 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land
           of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that
           city.

40:010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
           ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

40:010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
           councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

40:010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
           sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

40:010:019 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye
           shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what
           ye shall speak.

40:010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
           which speaketh in you.

40:010:021 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
           father the child: and the children shall rise up against their
           parents, and cause them to be put to death.

40:010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
           that endureth to the end shall be saved.

40:010:023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
           another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
           over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

40:010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
           his lord.

40:010:025 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
           the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
           house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his
           household?

40:010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
           shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

40:010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
           ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

40:010:028 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
           kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
           both soul and body in hell.

40:010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
           shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

40:010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

40:010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
           sparrows.

40:010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
           confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

40:010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
           before my Father which is in heaven.

40:010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
           send peace, but a sword.

40:010:035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
           the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
           against her mother in law.

40:010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

40:010:037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
           me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
           worthy of me.

40:010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
           not worthy of me.

40:010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
           life for my sake shall find it.

40:010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
           receiveth him that sent me.

40:010:041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
           receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous
           man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
           man's reward.

40:010:042 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
           ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
           verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

40:011:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding
           his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to
           preach in their cities.

40:011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
           sent two of his disciples,

40:011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
           for another?

40:011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
           those things which ye do hear and see:

40:011:005 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
           are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and
           the poor have the gospel preached to them.

40:011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

40:011:007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
           concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
           A reed shaken with the wind?

40:011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
           raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
           houses.

40:011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
           you, and more than a prophet.

40:011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
           messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
           thee.

40:011:011 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
           hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
           notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
           greater than he.

40:011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
           heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

40:011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

40:011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
           come.

40:011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
           children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
           fellows,

40:011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
           have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

40:011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
           hath a devil.

40:011:019 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold
           a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
           sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

40:011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
           works were done, because they repented not:

40:011:021 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
           mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre
           and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and
           ashes.

40:011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
           Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

40:011:023 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
           brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been
           done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
           until this day.

40:011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
           land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

40:011:025 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
           Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
           from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

40:011:026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

40:011:027 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
           knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the
           Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
           him.

40:011:028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
           will give you rest.

40:011:029 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
           lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

40:011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

40:012:001 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn;
           and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears
           of corn and to eat.

40:012:002 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
           disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath
           day.

40:012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when
           he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

40:012:004 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
           shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
           them which were with him, but only for the priests?

40:012:005 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days
           the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
           blameless?

40:012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
           temple.

40:012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
           not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

40:012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

40:012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

40:012:010 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And
           they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
           days? that they might accuse him.

40:012:011 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that
           shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath
           day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

40:012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
           lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

40:012:013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
           stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
           other.

40:012:014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
           how they might destroy him.

40:012:015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
           great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

40:012:016 And charged them that they should not make him known:

40:012:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
           prophet, saying,

40:012:018 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my
           soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he
           shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

40:012:019 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
           voice in the streets.

40:012:020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
           not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

40:012:021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

40:012:022 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,
           and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb
           both spake and saw.

40:012:023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
           of David?

40:012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
           not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
           devils.

40:012:025 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
           kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
           every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

40:012:026 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
           how shall then his kingdom stand?

40:012:027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
           children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

40:012:028 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
           kingdom of God is come unto you.

40:012:029 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil
           his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he
           will spoil his house.

40:012:030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
           not with me scattereth abroad.

40:012:031 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
           shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy
           Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

40:012:032 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
           be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
           Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
           neither in the world to come.

40:012:033 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make
           the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known
           by his fruit.

40:012:034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
           things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
           speaketh.

40:012:035 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth
           forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure
           bringeth forth evil things.

40:012:036 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
           they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

40:012:037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
           thou shalt be condemned.

40:012:038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
           saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

40:012:039 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
           generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
           given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40:012:040 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's
           belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
           in the heart of the earth.

40:012:041 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
           generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the
           preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

40:012:042 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
           generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
           uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
           and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

40:012:043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
           through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

40:012:044 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
           out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
           garnished.

40:012:045 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself 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. Even
           so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

40:012:046 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
           brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

40:012:047 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
           stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

40:012:048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
           mother? and who are my brethren?

40:012:049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
           said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

40:012:050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
           heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

40:013:001 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea
           side.

40:013:002 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that
           he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on
           the shore.

40:013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
           Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

40:013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
           fowls came and devoured them up:

40:013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
           and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
           earth:

40:013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
           had no root, they withered away.

40:013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
           choked them:

40:013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
           an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

40:013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
           unto them in parables?

40:013:011 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you
           to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
           is not given.

40:013:012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have
           more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be
           taken away even that he hath.

40:013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see
           not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

40:013:014 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,
           By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing
           ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

40:013:015 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are
           dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any
           time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
           and should understand with their heart, and should be
           converted, and I should heal them.

40:013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
           they hear.

40:013:017 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
           men 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.

40:013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

40:013:019 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
           understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth
           away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which
           received seed by the way side.

40:013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is
           he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

40:013:021 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for
           when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word,
           by and by he is offended.

40:013:022 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
           the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
           riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

40:013:023 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that
           heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth
           fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty,
           some thirty.

40:013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
           heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
           field:

40:013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
           wheat, and went his way.

40:013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
           then appeared the tares also.

40:013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
           Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence
           then hath it tares?

40:013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
           unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

40:013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
           up also the wheat with them.

40:013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
           harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first
           the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather
           the wheat into my barn.

40:013:031 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
           heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
           and sowed in his field:

40:013:032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
           it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that
           the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

40:013:033 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is
           like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three
           measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

40:013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
           and without a parable spake he not unto them:

40:013:035 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
           saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things
           which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

40:013:036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
           and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the
           parable of the tares of the field.

40:013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed
           is the Son of man;

40:013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
           kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

40:013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end
           of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40:013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
           shall it be in the end of this world.

40:013:041 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall
           gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them
           which do iniquity;

40:013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
           wailing and gnashing of teeth.

40:013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
           of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

40:013:044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a
           field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy
           thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that
           field.

40:013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
           seeking goodly pearls:

40:013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
           all that he had, and bought it.

40:013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast
           into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

40:013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
           gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

40:013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
           forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

40:013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
           wailing and gnashing of teeth.

40:013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
           They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

40:013:052 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
           instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that
           is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
           things new and old.

40:013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
           parables, he departed thence.

40:013:054 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in
           their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said,
           Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

40:013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
           Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
           Judas?

40:013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath
           this man all these things?

40:013:057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A
           prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in
           his own house.

40:013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their
           unbelief.

40:014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

40:014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
           risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth
           themselves in him.

40:014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
           prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

40:014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

40:014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
           multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

40:014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
           danced before them, and pleased Herod.

40:014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
           would ask.

40:014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
           here John Baptist's head in a charger.

40:014:009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and
           them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given
           her.

40:014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

40:014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
           damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

40:014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
           and went and told Jesus.

40:014:013 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a
           desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof,
           they followed him on foot out of the cities.

40:014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
           with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

40:014:015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
           This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the
           multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
           themselves victuals.

40:014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
           to eat.

40:014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
           fishes.

40:014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.

40:014:019 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and
           took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to
           heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his
           disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

40:014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
           fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

40:014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
           women and children.

40:014:022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
           ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent
           the multitudes away.

40:014:023 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a
           mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was
           there alone.

40:014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
           waves: for the wind was contrary.

40:014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
           walking on the sea.

40:014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
           troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

40:014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
           cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

40:014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
           come unto thee on the water.

40:014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
           ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

40:014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
           beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

40:014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
           him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
           didst thou doubt?

40:014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

40:014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
           saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

40:014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
           Gennesaret.

40:014:035 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent
           out into all that country round about, and brought unto him
           all that were diseased;

40:014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
           garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

40:015:001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
           Jerusalem, saying,

40:015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
           for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

40:015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
           the commandment of God by your tradition?

40:015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
           He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

40:015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
           It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

40:015:006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
           Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by
           your tradition.

40:015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

40:015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
           honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

40:015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
           commandments of men.

40:015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
           understand:

40:015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
           which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

40:015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
           the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

40:015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
           Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

40:015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
           blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

40:015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
           parable.

40:015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

40:015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
           mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

40:015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
           from the heart; and they defile the man.

40:015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
           adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

40:015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
           unwashen hands defileth not a man.

40:015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
           and Sidon.

40:015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
           and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son
           of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

40:015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
           besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

40:015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
           sheep of the house of Israel.

40:015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

40:015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
           children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

40:015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
           which fall from their masters' table.

40:015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
           faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
           made whole from that very hour.

40:015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
           Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

40:015:030 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
           that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast
           them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

40:015:031 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb
           to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the
           blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

40:015:032 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
           compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
           three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them
           away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

40:015:033 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
           bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

40:015:034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they
           said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

40:015:035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

40:015:036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks,
           and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples
           to the multitude.

40:015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
           broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

40:015:038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
           children.

40:015:039 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into
           the coasts of Magdala.

40:016:001 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting
           desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

40:016:002 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It
           will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

40:016:003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the
           sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the
           face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
           times?

40:016:004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
           there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the
           prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

40:016:005 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
           forgotten to take bread.

40:016:006 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven
           of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

40:016:007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
           have taken no bread.

40:016:008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little
           faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought
           no bread?

40:016:009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of
           the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

40:016:010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
           baskets ye took up?

40:016:011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
           concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
           Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

40:016:012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
           leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of
           the Sadducees.

40:016:013 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
           his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
           am?

40:016:014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some,
           Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

40:016:015 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

40:016:016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
           Son of the living God.

40:016:017 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
           Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
           but my Father which is in heaven.

40:016:018 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
           rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
           prevail against it.

40:016:019 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
           and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
           heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
           loosed in heaven.

40:016:020 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
           that he was Jesus the Christ.

40:016:021 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,
           how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of
           the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and
           be raised again the third day.

40:016:022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
           far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

40:016:023 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
           thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things
           that be of God, but those that be of men.

40:016:024 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after
           me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
           me.

40:016:025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
           will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

40:016:026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
           and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange
           for his soul?

40:016:027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
           his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to
           his works.

40:016:028 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
           shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming
           in his kingdom.

40:017:001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
           brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

40:017:002 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
           the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

40:017:003 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
           with him.

40:017:004 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for
           us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
           tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
           Elias.

40:017:005 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
           and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my
           beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

40:017:006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
           were sore afraid.

40:017:007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
           afraid.

40:017:008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
           Jesus only.

40:017:009 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
           saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be
           risen again from the dead.

40:017:010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
           that Elias must first come?

40:017:011 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
           come, and restore all things.

40:017:012 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew
           him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
           Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

40:017:013 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
           the Baptist.

40:017:014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
           certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

40:017:015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore
           vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the
           water.

40:017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure
           him.

40:017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
           generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
           suffer you? bring him hither to me.

40:017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and
           the child was cured from that very hour.

40:017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could
           not we cast him out?

40:017:020 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily
           I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
           ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
           and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

40:017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

40:017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
           of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

40:017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
           again. And they were exceeding sorry.

40:017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
           tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
           pay tribute?

40:017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
           prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do
           the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
           children, or of strangers?

40:017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
           are the children free.

40:017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the
           sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh
           up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a
           piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

40:018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is
           the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

40:018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
           midst of them,

40:018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
           become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom
           of heaven.

40:018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
           the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

40:018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
           receiveth me.

40:018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
           in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
           about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
           sea.

40:018:007 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
           that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
           cometh!

40:018:008 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off,
           and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into
           life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet
           to be cast into everlasting fire.

40:018:009 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
           thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye,
           rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

40:018:010 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I
           say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the
           face of my Father which is in heaven.

40:018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

40:018:012 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them
           be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and
           goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
           astray?

40:018:013 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
           rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
           which went not astray.

40:018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
           that one of these little ones should perish.

40:018:015 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and
           tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
           hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

40:018:016 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
           more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
           may be established.

40:018:017 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:
           but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as
           an heathen man and a publican.

40:018:018 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall
           be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
           shall be loosed in heaven.

40:018:019 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
           as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done
           for them of my Father which is in heaven.

40:018:020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there
           am I in the midst of them.

40:018:021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
           brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

40:018:022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
           but, Until seventy times seven.

40:018:023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
           king, which would take account of his servants.

40:018:024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
           which owed him ten thousand talents.

40:018:025 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
           be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
           payment to be made.

40:018:026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
           Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

40:018:027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
           loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

40:018:028 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
           fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid
           hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that
           thou owest.

40:018:029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
           saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

40:018:030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
           should pay the debt.

40:018:031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
           sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

40:018:032 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O
           thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because
           thou desiredst me:

40:018:033 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
           fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

40:018:034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
           till he should pay all that was due unto him.

40:018:035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
           from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
           trespasses.

40:019:001 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
           sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of
           Judaea beyond Jordan;

40:019:002 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

40:019:003 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying
           unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for
           every cause?

40:019:004 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
           which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

40:019:005 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
           and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
           flesh?

40:019:006 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
           therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

40:019:007 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
           writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

40:019:008 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
           hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
           beginning it was not so.

40:019:009 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
           it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
           adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
           adultery.

40:019:010 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
           his wife, it is not good to marry.

40:019:011 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
           save they to whom it is given.

40:019:012 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
           mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made
           eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
           themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that
           is able to receive it, let him receive it.

40:019:013 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
           should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
           rebuked them.

40:019:014 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not,
           to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

40:019:015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

40:019:016 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
           good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

40:019:017 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none
           good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life,
           keep the commandments.

40:019:018 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder,
           Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
           shalt not bear false witness,

40:019:019 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
           neighbour as thyself.

40:019:020 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
           from my youth up: what lack I yet?

40:019:021 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
           thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
           in heaven: and come and follow me.

40:019:022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
           sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

40:019:023 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
           That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

40:019:024 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
           through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into
           the kingdom of God.

40:019:025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
           saying, Who then can be saved?

40:019:026 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
           impossible; but with God all things are possible.

40:019:027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
           forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

40:019:028 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which
           have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man
           shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
           twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

40:019:029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
           sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
           for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
           inherit everlasting life.

40:019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be
           first.

40:020:001 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an
           householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
           labourers into his vineyard.

40:020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
           he sent them into his vineyard.

40:020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
           idle in the marketplace,

40:020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
           whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

40:020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
           likewise.

40:020:006 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
           standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the
           day idle?

40:020:007 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
           them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
           that shall ye receive.

40:020:008 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
           steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
           beginning from the last unto the first.

40:020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
           they received every man a penny.

40:020:010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
           received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

40:020:011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
           goodman of the house,

40:020:012 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast
           made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat
           of the day.

40:020:013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
           wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

40:020:014 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
           last, even as unto thee.

40:020:015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
           thine eye evil, because I am good?

40:020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
           called, but few chosen.

40:020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
           apart in the way, and said unto them,

40:020:018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
           betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they
           shall condemn him to death,

40:020:019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
           and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

40:020:020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
           sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

40:020:021 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,
           Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
           hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

40:020:022 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
           able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be
           baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
           unto him, We are able.

40:020:023 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
           be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
           sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
           it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my
           Father.

40:020:024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
           against the two brethren.

40:020:025 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
           princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
           that are great exercise authority upon them.

40:020:026 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
           among you, let him be your minister;

40:020:027 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
           servant:

40:020:028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
           minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

40:020:029 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
           him.

40:020:030 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
           heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
           us, O Lord, thou son of David.

40:020:031 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
           peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O
           Lord, thou son of David.

40:020:032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
           that I shall do unto you?

40:020:033 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

40:020:034 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
           immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

40:021:001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
           Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
           disciples,

40:021:002 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
           straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
           loose them, and bring them unto me.

40:021:003 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
           need of them; and straightway he will send them.

40:021:004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
           by the prophet, saying,

40:021:005 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
           thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
           ass.

40:021:006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

40:021:007 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
           clothes, and they set him thereon.

40:021:008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
           others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
           the way.

40:021:009 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
           saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh
           in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

40:021:010 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
           saying, Who is this?

40:021:011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
           of Galilee.

40:021:012 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
           that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
           of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

40:021:013 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
           the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

40:021:014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
           healed them.

40:021:015 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
           things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and
           saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore
           displeased,

40:021:016 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
           saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of
           babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

40:021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
           he lodged there.

40:021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

40:021:019 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
           found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let
           no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the
           fig tree withered away.

40:021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
           soon is the fig tree withered away!

40:021:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If
           ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which
           is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
           mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it
           shall be done.

40:021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
           ye shall receive.

40:021:023 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
           the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and
           said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
           thee this authority?

40:021:024 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
           thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
           what authority I do these things.

40:021:025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
           And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
           From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
           him?

40:021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
           John as a prophet.

40:021:027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said
           unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
           things.

40:021:028 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to
           the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

40:021:029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
           and went.

40:021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
           and said, I go, sir: and went not.

40:021:031 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say
           unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto
           you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of
           God before you.

40:021:032 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
           believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed
           him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that
           ye might believe him.

40:021:033 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
           planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a
           winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
           husbandmen, and went into a far country:

40:021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
           to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

40:021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
           another, and stoned another.

40:021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
           did unto them likewise.

40:021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
           reverence my son.

40:021:038 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
           themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let
           us seize on his inheritance.

40:021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
           slew him.

40:021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
           do unto those husbandmen?

40:021:041 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
           and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
           shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

40:021:042 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
           The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
           head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
           marvellous in our eyes?

40:021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
           from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
           thereof.

40:021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
           whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

40:021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
           parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
           multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
           said,

40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made
           a marriage for his son,

40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
           the wedding: and they would not come.

40:022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
           are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
           fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the
           marriage.

40:022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
           farm, another to his merchandise:

40:022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
           spitefully, and slew them.

40:022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
           forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
           their city.

40:022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
           which were bidden were not worthy.

40:022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
           find, bid to the marriage.

40:022:010 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
           together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the
           wedding was furnished with guests.

40:022:011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
           man which had not on a wedding garment:

40:022:012 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
           having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

40:022:013 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
           and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there
           shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:022:014 For many are called, but few are chosen.

40:022:015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
           entangle him in his talk.

40:022:016 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
           saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
           way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou
           regardest not the person of men.

40:022:017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
           tribute unto Caesar, or not?

40:022:018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye
           me, ye hypocrites?

40:022:019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

40:022:020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
           superscription?

40:022:021 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
           therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
           God the things that are God's.

40:022:022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
           and went their way.

40:022:023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
           is no resurrection, and asked him,

40:022:024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
           his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
           brother.

40:022:025 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he
           had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his
           wife unto his brother:

40:022:026 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

40:022:027 And last of all the woman died also.

40:022:028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
           seven? for they all had her.

40:022:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
           scriptures, nor the power of God.

40:022:030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
           marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

40:022:031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
           that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

40:022:032 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
           Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

40:022:033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
           doctrine.

40:022:034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
           to silence, they were gathered together.

40:022:035 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
           tempting him, and saying,

40:022:036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

40:022:037 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
           thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

40:022:038 This is the first and great commandment.

40:022:039 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
           as thyself.

40:022:040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

40:022:041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

40:022:042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
           unto him, The son of David.

40:022:043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
           Lord, saying,

40:022:044 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
           make thine enemies thy footstool?

40:022:045 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

40:022:046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
           man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

40:023:001 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

40:023:002 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

40:023:003 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
           and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
           not.

40:023:004 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
           them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move
           them with one of their fingers.

40:023:005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
           broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
           garments,

40:023:006 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
           the synagogues,

40:023:007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
           Rabbi.

40:023:008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
           Christ; and all ye are brethren.

40:023:009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
           Father, which is in heaven.

40:023:010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
           Christ.

40:023:011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

40:023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
           shall humble himself shall be exalted.

40:023:013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
           shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go
           in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
           in.

40:023:014 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
           widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore
           ye shall receive the greater damnation.

40:023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
           compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
           made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
           yourselves.

40:023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
           swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear
           by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

40:023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
           temple that sanctifieth the gold?

40:023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
           whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

40:023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
           altar that sanctifieth the gift?

40:023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
           by all things thereon.

40:023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
           him that dwelleth therein.

40:023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
           God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

40:023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
           tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
           weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
           these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
           undone.

40:023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

40:023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
           clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within
           they are full of extortion and excess.

40:023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
           cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

40:023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
           like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
           outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
           uncleanness.

40:023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
           within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

40:023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
           build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
           the righteous,

40:023:030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
           not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
           prophets.

40:023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
           children of them which killed the prophets.

40:023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

40:023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
           damnation of hell?

40:023:034 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
           scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some
           of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
           them from city to city:

40:023:035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
           earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
           Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
           and the altar.

40:023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
           generation.

40:023:037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
           stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
           gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
           chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

40:023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

40:023:039 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
           shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

40:024:001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
           disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
           temple.

40:024:002 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily
           I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon
           another, that shall not be thrown down.

40:024:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
           unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
           be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
           of the world?

40:024:004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
           deceive you.

40:024:005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
           deceive many.

40:024:006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
           not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
           end is not yet.

40:024:007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
           kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
           earthquakes, in divers places.

40:024:008 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

40:024:009 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
           you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

40:024:010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
           and shall hate one another.

40:024:011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

40:024:012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
           cold.

40:024:013 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
           saved.

40:024:014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
           world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
           come.

40:024:015 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
           spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
           (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

40:024:016 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

40:024:017 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
           thing out of his house:

40:024:018 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
           clothes.

40:024:019 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
           suck in those days!

40:024:020 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
           the sabbath day:

40:024:021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
           beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

40:024:022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
           flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
           shortened.

40:024:023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
           there; believe it not.

40:024:024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
           shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
           possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

40:024:025 Behold, I have told you before.

40:024:026 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
           desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
           believe it not.

40:024:027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
           unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40:024:028 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
           gathered together.

40:024:029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
           be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
           stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
           shall be shaken:

40:024:030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
           and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
           shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
           power and great glory.

40:024:031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
           and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
           from one end of heaven to the other.

40:024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
           tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

40:024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
           it is near, even at the doors.

40:024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
           all these things be fulfilled.

40:024:035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
           away.

40:024:036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
           heaven, but my Father only.

40:024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
           Son of man be.

40:024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
           and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
           that Noe entered into the ark,

40:024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
           shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40:024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
           the other left.

40:024:041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
           taken, and the other left.

40:024:042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
           come.

40:024:043 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in
           what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
           would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

40:024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
           not the Son of man cometh.

40:024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
           made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
           season?

40:024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
           find so doing.

40:024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
           his goods.

40:024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
           delayeth his coming;

40:024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
           drink with the drunken;

40:024:050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
           not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

40:024:051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
           the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:025:001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
           which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

40:025:002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

40:025:003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
           them:

40:025:004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

40:025:005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

40:025:006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
           cometh; go ye out to meet him.

40:025:007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

40:025:008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
           our lamps are gone out.

40:025:009 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
           enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
           buy for yourselves.

40:025:010 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that
           were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was
           shut.

40:025:011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
           open to us.

40:025:012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
           not.

40:025:013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
           wherein the Son of man cometh.

40:025:014 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
           country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
           his goods.

40:025:015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
           another one; to every man according to his several ability;
           and straightway took his journey.

40:025:016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
           with the same, and made them other five talents.

40:025:017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
           two.

40:025:018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
           hid his lord's money.

40:025:019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
           reckoneth with them.

40:025:020 And so he that had received five talents came and brought
           other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
           five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents
           more.

40:025:021 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
           servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will
           make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
           thy lord.

40:025:022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
           thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
           two other talents beside them.

40:025:023 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
           thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
           ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

40:025:024 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord,
           I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast
           not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

40:025:025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
           lo, there thou hast that is thine.

40:025:026 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful
           servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and
           gather where I have not strawed:

40:025:027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
           exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine
           own with usury.

40:025:028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
           hath ten talents.

40:025:029 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
           abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even
           that which he hath.

40:025:030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
           there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:025:031 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
           angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
           glory:

40:025:032 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
           separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his
           sheep from the goats:

40:025:033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
           the left.

40:025:034 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
           blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
           from the foundation of the world:

40:025:035 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
           ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

40:025:036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was
           in prison, and ye came unto me.

40:025:037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
           thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
           drink?

40:025:038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
           clothed thee?

40:025:039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40:025:040 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
           you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of
           these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

40:025:041 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
           me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
           and his angels:

40:025:042 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
           and ye gave me no drink:

40:025:043 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed
           me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

40:025:044 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
           thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,
           or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

40:025:045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
           Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did
           it not to me.

40:025:046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
           righteous into life eternal.

40:026:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
           sayings, he said unto his disciples,

40:026:002 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
           the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

40:026:003 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
           and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
           priest, who was called Caiaphas,

40:026:004 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill
           him.

40:026:005 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
           among the people.

40:026:006 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
           leper,

40:026:007 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
           precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at
           meat.

40:026:008 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,
           To what purpose is this waste?

40:026:009 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to
           the poor.

40:026:010 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
           the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

40:026:011 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
           always.

40:026:012 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did
           it for my burial.

40:026:013 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
           preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this
           woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

40:026:014 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the
           chief priests,

40:026:015 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver
           him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces
           of silver.

40:026:016 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

40:026:017 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
           disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that
           we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

40:026:018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him,
           The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover
           at thy house with my disciples.

40:026:019 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
           made ready the passover.

40:026:020 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

40:026:021 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one
           of you shall betray me.

40:026:022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them
           to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

40:026:023 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in
           the dish, the same shall betray me.

40:026:024 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto
           that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good
           for that man if he had not been born.

40:026:025 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
           it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

40:026:026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and
           brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
           this is my body.

40:026:027 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
           saying, Drink ye all of it;

40:026:028 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
           many for the remission of sins.

40:026:029 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit
           of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my
           Father's kingdom.

40:026:030 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
           of Olives.

40:026:031 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because
           of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the
           shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered
           abroad.

40:026:032 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

40:026:033 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be
           offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

40:026:034 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night,
           before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

40:026:035 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I
           not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

40:026:036 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
           and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray
           yonder.

40:026:037 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
           began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

40:026:038 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even
           unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

40:026:039 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
           prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
           pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40:026:040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and
           saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

40:026:041 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
           indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

40:026:042 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
           Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink
           it, thy will be done.

40:026:043 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were
           heavy.

40:026:044 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
           time, saying the same words.

40:026:045 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on
           now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the
           Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

40:026:046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
           me.

40:026:047 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
           and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from
           the chief priests and elders of the people.

40:026:048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
           I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

40:026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
           kissed him.

40:026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
           came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

40:026:051 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
           his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
           priest's, and smote off his ear.

40:026:052 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
           place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the
           sword.

40:026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
           shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

40:026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
           must be?

40:026:055 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come
           out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me?
           I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
           hold on me.

40:026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
           might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and
           fled.

40:026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
           the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
           assembled.

40:026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
           and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

40:026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
           false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

40:026:060 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
           found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

40:026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of
           God, and to build it in three days.

40:026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
           nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

40:026:063 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and
           said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell
           us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

40:026:064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
           you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
           right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

40:026:065 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
           blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
           ye have heard his blasphemy.

40:026:066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

40:026:067 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others
           smote him with the palms of their hands,

40:026:068 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote
           thee?

40:026:069 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
           him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

40:026:070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou
           sayest.

40:026:071 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him,
           and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with
           Jesus of Nazareth.

40:026:072 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

40:026:073 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said
           to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech
           bewrayeth thee.

40:026:074 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the
           man. And immediately the cock crew.

40:026:075 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
           Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went
           out, and wept bitterly.

40:027:001 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
           the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

40:027:002 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
           him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

40:027:003 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
           condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
           pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

40:027:004 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
           blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

40:027:005 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
           departed, and went and hanged himself.

40:027:006 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is
           not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is
           the price of blood.

40:027:007 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
           field, to bury strangers in.

40:027:008 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
           day.

40:027:009 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
           prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
           the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of
           Israel did value;

40:027:010 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
           me.

40:027:011 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
           him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said
           unto him, Thou sayest.

40:027:012 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
           answered nothing.

40:027:013 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
           they witness against thee?

40:027:014 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
           governor marvelled greatly.

40:027:015 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
           people a prisoner, whom they would.

40:027:016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

40:027:017 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto
           them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus
           which is called Christ?

40:027:018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

40:027:019 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto
           him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I
           have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

40:027:020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that
           they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

40:027:021 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain
           will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

40:027:022 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
           is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

40:027:023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they
           cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

40:027:024 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather
           a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before
           the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just
           person: see ye to it.

40:027:025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
           and on our children.

40:027:026 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
           Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

40:027:027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
           hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

40:027:028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

40:027:029 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon
           his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the
           knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the
           Jews!

40:027:030 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on
           the head.

40:027:031 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
           from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
           crucify him.

40:027:032 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
           name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

40:027:033 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is
           to say, a place of a skull,

40:027:034 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he
           had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

40:027:035 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots:
           that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
           They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did
           they cast lots.

40:027:036 And sitting down they watched him there;

40:027:037 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
           THE KING OF THE JEWS.

40:027:038 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
           right hand, and another on the left.

40:027:039 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40:027:040 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it
           in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come
           down from the cross.

40:027:041 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
           and elders, said,

40:027:042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of
           Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will
           believe him.

40:027:043 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
           him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

40:027:044 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same
           in his teeth.

40:027:045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land
           unto the ninth hour.

40:027:046 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
           saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my
           God, why hast thou forsaken me?

40:027:047 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
           This man calleth for Elias.

40:027:048 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled
           it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

40:027:049 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to
           save him.

40:027:050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
           the ghost.

40:027:051 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
           top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks
           rent;

40:027:052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
           which slept arose,

40:027:053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
           into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

40:027:054 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
           Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done,
           they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

40:027:055 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
           Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

40:027:056 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
           and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

40:027:057 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
           named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

40:027:058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
           commanded the body to be delivered.

40:027:059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
           linen cloth,

40:027:060 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the
           rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
           sepulchre, and departed.

40:027:061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
           against the sepulchre.

40:027:062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
           the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

40:027:063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was
           yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

40:027:064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the
           third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him
           away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
           the last error shall be worse than the first.

40:027:065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it
           as sure as ye can.

40:027:066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
           and setting a watch.

40:028:001 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
           first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
           to see the sepulchre.

40:028:002 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of
           the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the
           stone from the door, and sat upon it.

40:028:003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
           snow:

40:028:004 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead
           men.

40:028:005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
           for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

40:028:006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
           place where the Lord lay.

40:028:007 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from
           the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there
           shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

40:028:008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
           great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

40:028:009 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
           them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the
           feet, and worshipped him.

40:028:010 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren
           that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

40:028:011 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into
           the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things
           that were done.

40:028:012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken
           counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

40:028:013 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him
           away while we slept.

40:028:014 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him,
           and secure you.

40:028:015 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this
           saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

40:028:016 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
           mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

40:028:017 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

40:028:018 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
           unto me in heaven and in earth.

40:028:019 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
           name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

40:028:020 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
           commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end
           of the world. Amen.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

Additional credits are noted in the header.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

In answer to various questions we have received on this:

We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally
request donations in all 50 states. If your state is not listed and
you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have,
just ask.

While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are
not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting
donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to
donate.

International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about
how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made
deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are
ways.

Donations by check or money order may be sent to:

Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
PMB 113
1739 University Ave.
Oxford, MS 38655-4109

Contact us if you want to arrange for a wire transfer or payment
method other than by check or money order.

the US Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization with EIN
[Employee Identification Number] 64-622154. Donations are
tax-deductible to the maximum extent permitted by law. As fund-raising
requirements for other states are met, additions to this list will be
made and fund-raising will begin in the additional states.

We need your donations more than ever!

**The Legal Small Print**

(Three Pages)

***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN EBOOKS**START***
Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
your copy of this eBook, even if you got it for free from
someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.

*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS EBOOK
By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
eBook, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this eBook by
sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
you got it from. If you received this eBook on a physical
medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.

Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
any commercial products without permission.

To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
time to the person you received it from. If you received it
on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
receive it electronically.

THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
TO THE EBOOK OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
may have other legal rights.

INDEMNITY
You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including
legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
following that you do or cause: [1] distribution of this eBook,
[2] alteration, modification, or addition to the eBook,
or [3] any Defect.

DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
You may distribute copies of this eBook electronically, or by
disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
or:

[1] Only give exact copies of it. Among other things, this
requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
eBook or this "small print!" statement. You may however,
if you wish, distribute this eBook in machine readable
binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
including any form resulting from conversion by word
processing or hypertext software, but only so long as
*EITHER*:

[*] The eBook, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
does *not* contain characters other than those
intended by the author of the work, although tilde
(~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
be used to convey punctuation intended by the
author, and additional characters may be used to
indicate hypertext links; OR

[*] The eBook may be readily converted by the reader at
no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
form by the program that displays the eBook (as is
the case, for instance, with most word processors);
OR

[*] You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the
eBook in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC
or other equivalent proprietary form).

[2] Honor the eBook refund and replacement provisions of this
"Small Print!" statement.

[3] Pay a trademark license fee to the Foundation of 20% of the
gross profits you derive calculated using the method you
already use to calculate your applicable taxes. If you
don't derive profits, no royalty is due. Royalties are
payable to "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation"
the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were
legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent
periodic) tax return. Please contact us beforehand to
let us know your plans and to work out the details.

WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
Project Gutenberg is dedicated to increasing the number of
public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
in machine readable form.

The Project gratefully accepts contributions of money, time,
public domain materials, or royalty free copyright licenses.
Money should be paid to the:
"Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
