  • LU-1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in

  • order a declaration of those things which are most surely

  • believed among us,



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

  • beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;



  • LU-1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect

  • understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto

  • thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,



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

  • wherein thou hast been instructed.



  • LU-1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a

  • certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his

  • wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron, and her name [was]

  • Elisabeth.



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

  • the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.



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

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



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

  • office before God in the order of his course,



  • LU-1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot

  • was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.



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

  • without at the time of incense.



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

  • standing on the right side of the altar of incense.



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

  • fell upon him.



  • LU-1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for

  • thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a

  • son, and thou shalt call his name John.



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

  • rejoice at his birth.



  • LU-1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and

  • shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be

  • filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.



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

  • Lord their God.



  • LU-1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of

  • Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and

  • the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a

  • people prepared for the Lord.



  • LU-1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know

  • this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.



  • LU-1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel,

  • that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto

  • thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.



  • LU-1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,

  • until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou

  • believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.



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

  • he tarried so long in the temple.



  • LU-1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and

  • they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he

  • beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.



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

  • ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.



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

  • hid herself five months, saying,



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

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



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

  • God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,



  • LU-1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of

  • the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.



  • LU-1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou

  • that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed

  • [art] thou among women.



  • LU-1:29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying,

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



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

  • hast found favour with God.



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

  • forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.



  • LU-1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the

  • Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his

  • father David:



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

  • and of his kingdom there shall be no end.



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

  • seeing I know not a man?



  • LU-1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy

  • Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall

  • overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be

  • born of thee shall be called the Son of God.



  • LU-1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also

  • conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with

  • her, who was called barren.



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



  • LU-1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it

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



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

  • country with haste, into a city of Juda;



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

  • Elisabeth.



  • LU-1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the

  • salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth

  • was filled with the Holy Ghost:



  • LU-1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed

  • [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.



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

  • should come to me?



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

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



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

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



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



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



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

  • for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me

  • blessed.



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

  • holy [is] his name.



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

  • generation to generation.



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

  • the proud in the imagination of their hearts.



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

  • exalted them of low degree.



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

  • rich he hath sent empty away.



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

  • [his] mercy;



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

  • for ever.



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

  • returned to her own house.



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

  • delivered; and she brought forth a son.



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

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



  • LU-1:59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came

  • to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after

  • the name of his father.



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

  • shall be called John.



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

  • that is called by this name.



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

  • him called.



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

  • His name is John. And they marvelled all.



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

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



  • LU-1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and

  • all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill

  • country of Judaea.



  • LU-1:66 And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their

  • hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand

  • of the Lord was with him.



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

  • and prophesied, saying,



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

  • visited and redeemed his people,



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

  • house of his servant David;



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

  • have been since the world began:



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

  • hand of all that hate us;



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

  • remember his holy covenant;



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



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

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



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

  • of our life.



  • LU-1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the

  • Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to

  • prepare his ways;



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

  • remission of their sins,



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

  • dayspring from on high hath visited us,



  • LU-1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the

  • shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.



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

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



  • *LU-2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out

  • a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be

  • taxed.



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

  • governor of Syria.)



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



  • LU-2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of

  • Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called

  • Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)



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

  • with child.



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

  • were accomplished that she should be delivered.



  • LU-2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him

  • in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there

  • was no room for them in the inn.



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

  • the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.



  • LU-2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the

  • glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore

  • afraid.



  • LU-2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I

  • bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all

  • people.



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

  • Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.



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

  • babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.



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

  • the heavenly host praising God, and saying,



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

  • will toward men.



  • LU-2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from

  • them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now

  • go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,

  • which the Lord hath made known unto us.



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

  • and the babe lying in a manger.



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

  • saying which was told them concerning this child.



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

  • which were told them by the shepherds.



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

  • her heart.



  • LU-2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God

  • for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told

  • unto them.



  • LU-2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the

  • circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was

  • so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.



  • LU-2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the

  • law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem,

  • to present [him] to the Lord;



  • LU-2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male

  • that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)



  • LU-2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is

  • said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young

  • pigeons.



  • LU-2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name

  • [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting

  • for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.



  • LU-2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he

  • should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.



  • LU-2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the

  • parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the

  • custom of the law,



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

  • said,



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

  • according to thy word:



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



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



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

  • people Israel.



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

  • which were spoken of him.



  • LU-2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,

  • Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of

  • many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;



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

  • that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.



  • LU-2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of

  • Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had

  • lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;



  • LU-2:37 And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years,

  • which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with

  • fastings and prayers night and day.



  • LU-2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise

  • unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for

  • redemption in Jerusalem.



  • LU-2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the

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

  • Nazareth.



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

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



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

  • feast of the passover.



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

  • Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.



  • LU-2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,

  • the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his

  • mother knew not [of it].



  • LU-2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company,

  • went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk

  • and acquaintance.



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

  • Jerusalem, seeking him.



  • LU-2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found

  • him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both

  • hearing them, and asking them questions.



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

  • understanding and answers.



  • LU-2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother

  • said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold,

  • thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.



  • LU-2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?

  • wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?



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

  • them.



  • LU-2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and

  • was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in

  • her heart.



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

  • favour with God and man.



  • *LU-3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius

  • Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being

  • tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea

  • and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of

  • Abilene,



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

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



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

  • the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;



  • LU-3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the

  • prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

  • Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.



  • LU-3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and

  • hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made

  • straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;



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



  • LU-3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be

  • baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to

  • flee from the wrath to come?



  • LU-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and

  • begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our]

  • father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to

  • raise up children unto Abraham.



  • LU-3:9 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:

  • every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn

  • down, and cast into the fire.



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



  • LU-3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two

  • coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath

  • meat, let him do likewise.



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

  • him, Master, what shall we do?



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

  • appointed you.



  • LU-3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And

  • what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,

  • neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.



  • LU-3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men

  • mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or

  • not;



  • LU-3:16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize

  • you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of

  • whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you

  • with the Holy Ghost and with fire:



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

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

  • the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.



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

  • unto the people.



  • LU-3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for

  • Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which

  • Herod had done,



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

  • prison.



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

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

  • opened,



  • LU-3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a

  • dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou

  • art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.



  • LU-3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,

  • being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son]

  • of Heli,



  • LU-3:24 Which was [the son] of Matthat, which was [the son] of

  • Levi, which was [the son] of Melchi, which was [the son] of

  • Janna, which was [the son] of Joseph,

  • Joseph, which was [the son] of Juda,



  • LU-3:27 Which was [the son] of Joanna, which was [the son] of

  • Rhesa, which was [the son] of Zorobabel, which was [the son] of

  • Salathiel, which was [the son] of Neri,



  • LU-3:28 Which was [the son] of Melchi, which was [the son] of

  • Addi, which was [the son] of Cosam, which was [the son] of

  • Elmodam, which was [the son] of Er,



  • LU-3:29 Which was [the son] of Jose, which was [the son] of

  • Eliezer, which was [the son] of Jorim, which was [the son] of

  • Matthat, which was [the son] of Levi,



  • LU-3:30 Which was [the son] of Simeon, which was [the son] of

  • Juda, which was [the son] of Joseph, which was [the son] of

  • Jonan, which was [the son] of Eliakim,



  • LU-3:31 Which was [the son] of Melea, which was [the son] of

  • Menan, which was [the son] of Mattatha, which was [the son] of

  • Nathan, which was [the son] of David,



  • LU-3:32 Which was [the son] of Jesse, which was [the son] of

  • Obed, which was [the son] of Booz, which was [the son] of Salmon,

  • which was [the son] of Naasson,



  • LU-3:33 Which was [the son] of Aminadab, which was [the son] of

  • Aram, which was [the son] of Esrom, which was [the son] of

  • Phares, which was [the son] of Juda,



  • LU-3:34 Which was [the son] of Jacob, which was [the son] of

  • Isaac, which was [the son] of Abraham, which was [the son] of

  • Thara, which was [the son] of Nachor,



  • LU-3:35 Which was [the son] of Saruch, which was [the son] of

  • Ragau, which was [the son] of Phalec, which was [the son] of

  • Heber, which was [the son] of Sala,



  • LU-3:36 Which was [the son] of Cainan, which was [the son] of

  • Arphaxad, which was [the son] of Sem, which was [the son] of Noe,

  • which was [the son] of Lamech,



  • LU-3:37 Which was [the son] of Mathusala, which was [the son]

  • of Enoch, which was [the son] of Jared, which was [the son] of

  • Maleleel, which was [the son] of Cainan,



  • LU-3:38 Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of

  • Seth, which was [the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God.



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

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



  • LU-4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days

  • he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward

  • hungered.



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

  • command this stone that it be made bread.



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

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



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

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

  • time.



  • LU-4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give

  • thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and

  • to whomsoever I will I give it.



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



  • LU-4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,

  • Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,

  • and him only shalt thou serve.



  • LU-4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a

  • pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of

  • God, cast thyself down from hence:



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

  • thee, to keep thee:



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

  • any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.



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

  • shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.



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

  • departed from him for a season.



  • LU-4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into

  • Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region

  • round about.



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

  • all.



  • LU-4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:

  • and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the

  • sabbath day, and stood up for to read.



  • LU-4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the

  • prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the

  • place where it was written,



  • LU-4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath

  • anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to

  • heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,

  • and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them

  • that are bruised,



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



  • LU-4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the

  • minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in

  • the synagogue were fastened on him.



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

  • scripture fulfilled in your ears.



  • LU-4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious

  • words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not

  • this Joseph's son?



  • LU-4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this

  • proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done

  • in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.



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

  • accepted in his own country.



  • LU-4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel

  • in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years

  • and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;



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

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



  • LU-4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus

  • the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the

  • Syrian.



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

  • things, were filled with wrath,



  • LU-4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led

  • him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that

  • they might cast him down headlong.



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



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

  • taught them on the sabbath days.



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

  • was with power.



  • LU-4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a

  • spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,



  • LU-4:34 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee,

  • [thou] Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know

  • thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.



  • LU-4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come

  • out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he

  • came out of him, and hurt him not.



  • LU-4:36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves,

  • saying, What a word [is] this! for with authority and power he

  • commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.



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

  • country round about.



  • LU-4:38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into

  • Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great

  • fever; and they besought him for her.



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

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



  • LU-4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any

  • sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his

  • hands on every one of them, and healed them.



  • LU-4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and

  • saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking [them]

  • suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.



  • LU-4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert

  • place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed

  • him, that he should not depart from them.



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

  • to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.



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



  • *LU-5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon

  • him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,



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

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



  • LU-5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's,

  • and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.

  • And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.



  • LU-5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon,

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



  • LU-5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have

  • toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at

  • thy word I will let down the net.



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

  • multitude of fishes: and their net brake.



  • LU-5:7 And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which were in

  • the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they

  • came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.



  • LU-5:8 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees,

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



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

  • the draught of the fishes which they had taken:



  • LU-5:10 And so [was] also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee,

  • which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear

  • not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.



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

  • forsook all, and followed him.



  • LU-5:12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city,

  • behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his]

  • face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst

  • make me clean.



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

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

  • him.



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

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

  • Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.



  • LU-5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him:

  • and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by

  • him of their infirmities.



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



  • LU-5:17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was

  • teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law

  • sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and

  • Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present]

  • to heal them.



  • LU-5:18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken

  • with a palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to

  • lay [him] before him.



  • LU-5:19 And when they could not find by what [way] they might

  • bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the

  • housetop, and let him down through the tiling with [his] couch

  • into the midst before Jesus.



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

  • sins are forgiven thee.



  • LU-5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason,

  • saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive

  • sins, but God alone?



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

  • said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?



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

  • or to say, Rise up and walk?



  • LU-5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power

  • upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,

  • ) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into

  • thine house.



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

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

  • God.



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

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

  • day.



  • LU-5:27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a

  • publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he

  • said unto him, Follow me.



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



  • LU-5:29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and

  • there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat

  • down with them.



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

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

  • sinners?



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

  • need not a physician; but they that are sick.



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

  • repentance.



  • LU-5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John

  • fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of

  • the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?



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

  • bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?



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

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



  • LU-5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a

  • piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the

  • new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new

  • agreeth not with the old.



  • LU-5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the

  • new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles

  • shall perish.



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

  • preserved.



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

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



  • *LU-6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the

  • first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples

  • plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their]

  • hands.



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

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



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

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

  • which were with him;



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

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

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



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

  • of the sabbath.



  • LU-6:6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he

  • entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose

  • right hand was withered.



  • LU-6:7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he

  • would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an

  • accusation against him.



  • LU-6:8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which

  • had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.

  • And he arose and stood forth.



  • LU-6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is

  • it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save

  • life, or to destroy [it]?



  • LU-6:10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the

  • man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was

  • restored whole as the other.



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

  • with another what they might do to Jesus.



  • LU-6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out

  • into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to

  • God.



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

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



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

  • brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,



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

  • Simon called Zelotes,



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

  • which also was the traitor.



  • LU-6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and

  • the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people

  • out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre

  • and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their

  • diseases;



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

  • were healed.



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

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



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

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



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

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



  • LU-6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they

  • shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach

  • [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.



  • LU-6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold,

  • your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did

  • their fathers unto the prophets.



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

  • your consolation.



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

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



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

  • so did their fathers to the false prophets.



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

  • good to them which hate you,



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

  • despitefully use you.



  • LU-6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer

  • also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not

  • [to take thy] coat also.



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

  • taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.



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

  • to them likewise.



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

  • for sinners also love those that love them.



  • LU-6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what

  • thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.



  • LU-6:34 And if ye lend [to them] of whom ye hope to receive,

  • what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive

  • as much again.



  • LU-6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping

  • for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall

  • be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the

  • unthankful and [to] the evil.



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

  • merciful.



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

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



  • LU-6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,

  • pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men

  • give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete

  • withal it shall be measured to you again.



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

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



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

  • that is perfect shall be as his master.



  • LU-6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy

  • brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own

  • eye?



  • LU-6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let

  • me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself

  • beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite,

  • cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt

  • thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's

  • eye.



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

  • neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.



  • LU-6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns

  • men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.



  • LU-6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart

  • bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the

  • evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:

  • for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.



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

  • which I say?



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

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



  • LU-6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep,

  • and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the

  • stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it:

  • for it was founded upon a rock.



  • LU-6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that

  • without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against

  • which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell;

  • and the ruin of that house was great.



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

  • of the people, he entered into Capernaum.



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

  • was sick, and ready to die.



  • LU-7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders

  • of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his

  • servant.



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

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



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

  • synagogue.



  • LU-7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far

  • from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto

  • him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou

  • shouldest enter under my roof:



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

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



  • LU-7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me

  • soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another,

  • Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth

  • [it].



  • LU-7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and

  • turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I

  • say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.



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

  • the servant whole that had been sick.



  • LU-7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a

  • city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and

  • much people.



  • LU-7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold,

  • there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother,

  • and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.



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

  • and said unto her, Weep not.



  • LU-7:14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare

  • [him] stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee,

  • Arise.



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

  • delivered him to his mother.



  • LU-7:16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God,

  • saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God

  • hath visited his people.



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

  • and throughout all the region round about.



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

  • things.



  • LU-7:19 And John calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent

  • [them] to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look

  • we for another?



  • LU-7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John

  • Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should

  • come? or look we for another?



  • LU-7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of [their]

  • infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many

  • [that were] blind he gave sight.



  • LU-7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and

  • tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind

  • see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the

  • dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.



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

  • me.



  • LU-7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began

  • to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into

  • the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?



  • LU-7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft

  • raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live

  • delicately, are in kings' courts.



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

  • unto you, and much more than a prophet.



  • LU-7:27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my

  • messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before

  • thee.



  • LU-7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women

  • there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he

  • that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.



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

  • justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.



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

  • God against themselves, being not baptized of him.



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

  • of this generation? and to what are they like?



  • LU-7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace,

  • and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you,

  • and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not

  • wept.



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

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



  • LU-7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say,

  • Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans

  • and sinners!



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



  • LU-7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat

  • with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to

  • meat.



  • LU-7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,

  • when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house,

  • brought an alabaster box of ointment,



  • LU-7:38 And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began

  • to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs

  • of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the

  • ointment.



  • LU-7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he

  • spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet,

  • would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that

  • toucheth him: for she is a sinner.



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

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



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

  • one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.



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

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



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

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



  • LU-7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest

  • thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no

  • water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and

  • wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.



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

  • came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.



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

  • hath anointed my feet with ointment.



  • LU-7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many,

  • are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,

  • [the same] loveth little.



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



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

  • themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?



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

  • in peace.



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

  • every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings

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



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

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

  • devils,



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

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

  • substance.



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

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



  • LU-8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some

  • fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of

  • the air devoured it.



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

  • up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.



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

  • with it, and choked it.



  • LU-8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare

  • fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he

  • cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.



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

  • parable be?



  • LU-8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries

  • of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing

  • they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.



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



  • LU-8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh

  • the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest

  • they should believe and be saved.



  • LU-8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear,

  • receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a

  • while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.



  • LU-8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when

  • they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches

  • and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.



  • LU-8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an

  • honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and

  • bring forth fruit with patience.



  • LU-8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with

  • a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a

  • candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.



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

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



  • LU-8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to

  • him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be

  • taken even that which he seemeth to have.



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

  • could not come at him for the press.



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

  • and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.



  • LU-8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my

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



  • LU-8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into

  • a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over

  • unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.



  • LU-8:23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down

  • a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled [with water],

  • and were in jeopardy.



  • LU-8:24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master,

  • master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the

  • raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.



  • LU-8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they

  • being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man

  • is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they

  • obey him.



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

  • is over against Galilee.



  • LU-8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of

  • the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no

  • clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.



  • LU-8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before

  • him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee,

  • Jesus, [thou] Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me

  • not.



  • LU-8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of

  • the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound

  • with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was

  • driven of the devil into the wilderness.)



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

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



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

  • go out into the deep.



  • LU-8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on

  • the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to

  • enter into them. And he suffered them.



  • LU-8:33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into

  • the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into

  • the lake, and were choked.



  • LU-8:34 When they that fed [them] saw what was done, they fled,

  • and went and told [it] in the city and in the country.



  • LU-8:35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to

  • Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed,

  • sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind:

  • and they were afraid.



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

  • that was possessed of the devils was healed.



  • LU-8:37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the

  • Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they

  • were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and

  • returned back again.



  • LU-8:38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed

  • besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away,

  • saying,



  • LU-8:39 Return to thine own house, and show how great things

  • God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published

  • throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto

  • him.



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

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



  • LU-8:41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was

  • a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and

  • besought him that he would come into his house:



  • LU-8:42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,

  • and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.



  • LU-8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,

  • which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be

  • healed of any,



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

  • garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.



  • LU-8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter

  • and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng

  • thee and press [thee], and sayest thou, Who touched me?



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

  • perceive that virtue is gone out of me.



  • LU-8:47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came

  • trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him

  • before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and

  • how she was healed immediately.



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

  • faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.



  • LU-8:49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of

  • the synagogue's [house], saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;

  • trouble not the Master.



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

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



  • LU-8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to

  • go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the

  • mother of the maiden.



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

  • she is not dead, but sleepeth.



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

  • dead.



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

  • called, saying, Maid, arise.



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

  • and he commanded to give her meat.



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

  • that they should tell no man what was done.



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

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



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

  • heal the sick.



  • LU-9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey,

  • neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither

  • have two coats apiece.



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

  • thence depart.



  • LU-9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of

  • that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a

  • testimony against them.



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

  • the gospel, and healing every where.



  • LU-9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him:

  • and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that

  • John was risen from the dead;



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

  • that one of the old prophets was risen again.



  • LU-9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this,

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



  • LU-9:10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all

  • that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately

  • into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.



  • LU-9:11 And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and

  • he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and

  • healed them that had need of healing.



  • LU-9:12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the

  • twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they

  • may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and

  • get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.



  • LU-9:13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they

  • said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we

  • should go and buy meat for all this people.



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

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



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



  • LU-9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and

  • looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to

  • the disciples to set before the multitude.



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

  • taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.



  • LU-9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his

  • disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the

  • people that I am?



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

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

  • again.



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

  • answering said, The Christ of God.



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

  • tell no man that thing;



  • LU-9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be

  • rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be

  • slain, and be raised the third day.



  • LU-9:23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after

  • me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and

  • follow me.



  • LU-9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but

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



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

  • world, and lose himself, or be cast away?



  • LU-9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words,

  • of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in

  • his own glory, and [in his] Father's, and of the holy angels.



  • LU-9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here,

  • which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.



  • LU-9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these

  • sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a

  • mountain to pray.



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

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



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

  • Moses and Elias:



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

  • he should accomplish at Jerusalem.



  • LU-9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with

  • sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two

  • men that stood with him.



  • LU-9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter

  • said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let

  • us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and

  • one for Elias: not knowing what he said.



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

  • overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the

  • cloud.



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

  • is my beloved Son: hear him.



  • LU-9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And

  • they kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those

  • things which they had seen.



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

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



  • LU-9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying,

  • Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only

  • child.



  • LU-9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth

  • out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him

  • hardly departeth from him.



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

  • could not.



  • LU-9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse

  • generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring

  • thy son hither.



  • LU-9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down,

  • and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed

  • the child, and delivered him again to his father.



  • LU-9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.

  • But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did,

  • he said unto his disciples,



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

  • of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.



  • LU-9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid

  • from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask

  • him of that saying.



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

  • should be greatest.



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

  • a child, and set him by him,



  • LU-9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child

  • in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me

  • receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all,

  • the same shall be great.



  • LU-9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting

  • out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth

  • not with us.



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

  • is not against us is for us.



  • LU-9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he

  • should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to

  • Jerusalem,



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

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



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

  • though he would go to Jerusalem.



  • LU-9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they

  • said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from

  • heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?



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

  • what manner of spirit ye are of.



  • LU-9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives,

  • but to save [them]. And they went to another village.



  • LU-9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a

  • certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee

  • whithersoever thou goest.



  • LU-9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of

  • the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay

  • [his] head.



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

  • suffer me first to go and bury my father.



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

  • go thou and preach the kingdom of God.



  • LU-9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but

  • let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.



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

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



  • *LU-10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy

  • also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city

  • and place, whither he himself would come.



  • LU-10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is]

  • great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord

  • of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his

  • harvest.



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

  • wolves.



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

  • no man by the way.



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

  • [be] to this house.



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

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



  • LU-10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such

  • things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go

  • not from house to house.



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

  • eat such things as are set before you:



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

  • The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.



  • LU-10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive

  • you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,



  • LU-10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us,

  • we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this,

  • that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.



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

  • that day for Sodom, than for that city.



  • LU-10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for

  • if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have

  • been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting

  • in sackcloth and ashes.



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

  • the judgment, than for you.



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

  • shalt be thrust down to hell.



  • LU-10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth

  • you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that

  • sent me.



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

  • even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.



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

  • fall from heaven.



  • LU-10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and

  • scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing

  • shall by any means hurt you.



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

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

  • written in heaven.



  • LU-10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I

  • thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast

  • hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed

  • them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy

  • sight.



  • LU-10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no

  • man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father

  • is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].



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

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

  • see:



  • LU-10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have

  • desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen

  • [them]; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not

  • heard [them].



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

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



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

  • readest thou?



  • LU-10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy

  • God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy

  • strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.



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

  • do, and thou shalt live.



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

  • And who is my neighbour?



  • LU-10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down

  • from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which

  • stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed,

  • leaving [him] half dead.



  • LU-10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that

  • way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.



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

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



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

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



  • LU-10:34 And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in

  • oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to

  • an inn, and took care of him.



  • LU-10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two

  • pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care

  • of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I

  • will repay thee.



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

  • unto him that fell among the thieves?



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

  • Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.



  • LU-10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered

  • into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha

  • received him into her house.



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

  • Jesus' feet, and heard his word.



  • LU-10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came

  • to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath

  • left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.



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

  • thou art careful and troubled about many things:



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

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



  • *LU-11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a

  • certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto

  • him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.



  • LU-11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father

  • which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy

  • will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.



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



  • LU-11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one

  • that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but

  • deliver us from evil.



  • LU-11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,

  • and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend,

  • lend me three loaves;



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

  • I have nothing to set before him?



  • LU-11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not:

  • the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I

  • cannot rise and give thee.



  • LU-11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him,

  • because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will

  • rise and give him as many as he needeth.



  • LU-11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;

  • seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.



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

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



  • LU-11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a

  • father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he

  • for a fish give him a serpent?



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

  • scorpion?



  • LU-11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

  • unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father

  • give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?



  • LU-11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And

  • it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake;

  • and the people wondered.



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

  • Beelzebub the chief of the devils.



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

  • heaven.



  • LU-11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every

  • kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a

  • house [divided] against a house falleth.



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

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

  • Beelzebub.



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

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



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

  • doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.



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

  • are in peace:



  • LU-11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and

  • overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he

  • trusted, and divideth his spoils.



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

  • gathereth not with me scattereth.



  • LU-11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he

  • walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he

  • saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.



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

  • garnished.



  • LU-11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits

  • more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there:

  • and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.



  • LU-11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a

  • certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto

  • him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which

  • thou hast sucked.



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

  • the word of God, and keep it.



  • LU-11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he

  • began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and

  • there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the

  • prophet.



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

  • also the Son of man be to this generation.



  • LU-11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment

  • with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came

  • from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;

  • and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.



  • LU-11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with

  • this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the

  • preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.



  • LU-11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in

  • a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick,

  • that they which come in may see the light.



  • LU-11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine

  • eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when

  • [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.



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

  • not darkness.



  • LU-11:36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having

  • no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the

  • bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.



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

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



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

  • had not first washed before dinner.



  • LU-11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make

  • clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward

  • part is full of ravening and wickedness.



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

  • make that which is within also?



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

  • behold, all things are clean unto you.



  • LU-11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue

  • and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of

  • God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other

  • undone.



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

  • seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.



  • LU-11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for

  • ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over

  • [them] are not aware [of them].



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

  • Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.



  • LU-11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye

  • lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves

  • touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.



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

  • prophets, and your fathers killed them.



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

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

  • sepulchres.



  • LU-11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send

  • them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay

  • and persecute:



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

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

  • generation;



  • LU-11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias,

  • which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say

  • unto you, It shall be required of this generation.



  • LU-11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key

  • of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were

  • entering in ye hindered.



  • LU-11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and

  • the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him

  • to speak of many things:



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

  • out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.



  • *LU-12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an

  • innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one

  • upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all,

  • Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.



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

  • revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.



  • LU-12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall

  • be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear

  • in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.



  • LU-12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them

  • that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.



  • LU-12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him,

  • which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I

  • say unto you, Fear him.



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

  • one of them is forgotten before God?



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

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



  • LU-12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before

  • men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of

  • God:



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

  • before the angels of God.



  • LU-12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of

  • man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth

  • against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.



  • LU-12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and

  • [unto] magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what

  • thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:



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

  • what ye ought to say.



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

  • my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.



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

  • divider over you?



  • LU-12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of

  • covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance

  • of the things which he possesseth.



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

  • of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:



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

  • because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?



  • LU-12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,

  • and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my

  • goods.



  • LU-12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods

  • laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be

  • merry.



  • LU-12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy

  • soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be,

  • which thou hast provided?



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

  • not rich toward God.



  • LU-12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto

  • you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither

  • for the body, what ye shall put on.



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

  • than raiment.



  • LU-12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap;

  • which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them:

  • how much more are ye better than the fowls?



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

  • stature one cubit?



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

  • why take ye thought for the rest?



  • LU-12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they

  • spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory

  • was not arrayed like one of these.



  • LU-12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in

  • the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more

  • [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?



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

  • drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.



  • LU-12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek

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



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

  • things shall be added unto you.



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

  • pleasure to give you the kingdom.



  • LU-12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves

  • bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth

  • not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.



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

  • also.



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

  • burning;



  • LU-12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their

  • lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh

  • and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.



  • LU-12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he

  • cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall

  • gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come

  • forth and serve them.



  • LU-12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in

  • the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.



  • LU-12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had

  • known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and

  • not have suffered his house to be broken through.



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

  • at an hour when ye think not.



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

  • parable unto us, or even to all?



  • LU-12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise

  • steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to

  • give [them their] portion of meat in due season?



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

  • cometh shall find so doing.



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

  • over all that he hath.



  • LU-12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord

  • delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and

  • maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;



  • LU-12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he

  • looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and

  • will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with

  • the unbelievers.



  • LU-12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and

  • prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall

  • be beaten with many [stripes].



  • LU-12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of

  • stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever

  • much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men

  • have committed much, of him they will ask the more.



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

  • if it be already kindled?



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

  • straitened till it be accomplished!



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

  • tell you, Nay; but rather division:



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

  • divided, three against two, and two against three.



  • LU-12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the

  • son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the

  • daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her

  • daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in

  • law.



  • LU-12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud

  • rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower;

  • and so it is.



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

  • will be heat; and it cometh to pass.



  • LU-12:56 [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky

  • and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?



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

  • right?



  • LU-12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate,

  • [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be

  • delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the

  • judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee

  • into prison.



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

  • hast paid the very last mite.



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

  • of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their

  • sacrifices.



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

  • these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because

  • they suffered such things?



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

  • likewise perish.



  • LU-13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell,

  • and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men

  • that dwelt in Jerusalem?



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

  • likewise perish.



  • LU-13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig

  • tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit

  • thereon, and found none.



  • LU-13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold,

  • these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and

  • find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?



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

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



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

  • that thou shalt cut it down.



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

  • sabbath.



  • LU-13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of

  • infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in

  • no wise lift up [herself].



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

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



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

  • was made straight, and glorified God.



  • LU-13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with

  • indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day,

  • and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought

  • to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the

  • sabbath day.



  • LU-13:15 The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite,

  • doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or [his]

  • ass from the stall, and lead [him] away to watering?



  • LU-13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,

  • whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from

  • this bond on the sabbath day?



  • LU-13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries

  • were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious

  • things that were done by him.



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

  • and whereunto shall I resemble it?



  • LU-13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,

  • and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree;

  • and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.



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

  • of God?



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

  • measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.



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

  • and journeying toward Jerusalem.



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

  • saved? And he said unto them,



  • LU-13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say

  • unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.



  • LU-13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and

  • hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to

  • knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he

  • shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:



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

  • thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.



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

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



  • LU-13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye

  • shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets,

  • in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out.



  • LU-13:29 And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west,

  • and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in

  • the kingdom of God.



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

  • there are first which shall be last.



  • LU-13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees,

  • saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will

  • kill thee.



  • LU-13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox,

  • Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow,

  • and the third [day] I shall be perfected.



  • LU-13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and

  • the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out

  • of Jerusalem.



  • LU-13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets,

  • and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have

  • gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood

  • under [her] wings, and ye would not!



  • LU-13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and

  • verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time]

  • come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name

  • of the Lord.



  • *LU-14:1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one

  • of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that

  • they watched him.



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

  • had the dropsy.



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

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



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

  • healed him, and let him go;



  • LU-14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an

  • ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull

  • him out on the sabbath day?



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



  • LU-14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden,

  • when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto

  • them,



  • LU-14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not

  • down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou

  • be bidden of him;



  • LU-14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee,

  • Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the

  • lowest room.



  • LU-14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the

  • lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto

  • thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the

  • presence of them that sit at meat with thee.



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

  • that humbleth himself shall be exalted.



  • LU-14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou

  • makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy

  • brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest

  • they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.



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

  • maimed, the lame, the blind:



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

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

  • just.



  • LU-14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard

  • these things, he said unto him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat

  • bread in the kingdom of God.



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

  • supper, and bade many:



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

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



  • LU-14:18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse.

  • The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I

  • must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.



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

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



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

  • I cannot come.



  • LU-14:21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things.

  • Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant,

  • Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring

  • in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.



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

  • commanded, and yet there is room.



  • LU-14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the

  • highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house

  • may be filled.



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

  • bidden shall taste of my supper.



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

  • turned, and said unto them,



  • LU-14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and

  • mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea,

  • and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.



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

  • me, cannot be my disciple.



  • LU-14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth

  • not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have

  • [sufficient] to finish [it]?



  • LU-14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is

  • not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,



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

  • finish.



  • LU-14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king,

  • sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with

  • ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty

  • thousand?



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

  • sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.



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

  • all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.



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

  • wherewith shall it be seasoned?



  • LU-14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the

  • dunghill; [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let

  • him hear.



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

  • for to hear him.



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

  • man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.



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



  • LU-15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose

  • one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the

  • wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?



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

  • shoulders, rejoicing.



  • LU-15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his]

  • friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I

  • have found my sheep which was lost.



  • LU-15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven

  • over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine

  • just persons, which need no repentance.



  • LU-15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she

  • lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house,

  • and seek diligently till she find [it]?



  • LU-15:9 And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends

  • and [her] neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I

  • have found the piece which I had lost.



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

  • of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.



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



  • LU-15:12 And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father,

  • give me the portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he

  • divided unto them [his] living.



  • LU-15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all

  • together, and took his journey into a far country, and there

  • wasted his substance with riotous living.



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

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



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

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



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

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



  • LU-15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired

  • servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I

  • perish with hunger!



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

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



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

  • one of thy hired servants.



  • LU-15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was

  • yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and

  • ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.



  • LU-15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned

  • against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be

  • called thy son.



  • LU-15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the

  • best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and

  • shoes on [his] feet:



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

  • let us eat, and be merry:



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

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



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

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



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

  • these things meant.



  • LU-15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy

  • father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him

  • safe and sound.



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

  • his father out, and entreated him.



  • LU-15:29 And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many

  • years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy

  • commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might

  • make merry with my friends:



  • LU-15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath

  • devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the

  • fatted calf.



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

  • all that I have is thine.



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

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

  • and is found.



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

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

  • unto him that he had wasted his goods.



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

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

  • mayest be no longer steward.



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

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

  • to beg I am ashamed.



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

  • the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.



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

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



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

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



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

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

  • Take thy bill, and write fourscore.



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

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

  • generation wiser than the children of light.



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

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

  • you into everlasting habitations.



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

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

  • in much.



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

  • unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true

  • [riches]?



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

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



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

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

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



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

  • these things: and they derided him.



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

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

  • which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight

  • of God.



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

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

  • it.



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

  • one tittle of the law to fail.



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

  • committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away

  • from [her] husband committeth adultery.



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

  • purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:



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

  • was laid at his gate, full of sores,



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

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

  • sores.



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

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

  • died, and was buried;



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

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



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

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

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



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

  • lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil

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



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

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

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

  • thence.



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

  • wouldest send him to my father's house:



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

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



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

  • prophets; let them hear them.



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

  • them from the dead, they will repent.



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

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

  • the dead.



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

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

  • come!



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

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

  • offend one of these little ones.



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

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



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

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

  • thou shalt forgive him.



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



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

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

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

  • should obey you.



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

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

  • field, Go and sit down to meat?



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

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

  • drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?



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

  • that were commanded him? I trow not.



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

  • things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable

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



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

  • passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.



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

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



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

  • Master, have mercy on us.



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

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

  • went, they were cleansed.



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

  • turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,



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

  • thanks: and he was a Samaritan.



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

  • but where [are] the nine?



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

  • save this stranger.



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

  • hath made thee whole.



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

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

  • kingdom of God cometh not with observation:



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

  • behold, the kingdom of God is within you.



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

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

  • and ye shall not see [it].



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

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



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

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

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



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

  • of this generation.



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

  • in the days of the Son of man.



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

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

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



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

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

  • builded;



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

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



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

  • is revealed.



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

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

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



  • LU-17:32 Remember Lot's wife.



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

  • and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.



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

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



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

  • be taken, and the other left.



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

  • taken, and the other left.



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

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

  • eagles be gathered together.



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

  • men ought always to pray, and not to faint;



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

  • God, neither regarded man:



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

  • him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.



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

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



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

  • lest by her continual coming she weary me.



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



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

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



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

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

  • the earth?



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

  • themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:



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

  • Pharisee, and the other a publican.



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

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

  • unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.



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

  • possess.



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

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

  • saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.



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

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

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



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

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



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

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

  • such is the kingdom of God.



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

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



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

  • what shall I do to inherit eternal life?



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

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



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

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

  • father and thy mother.



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



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

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

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

  • and come, follow me.



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

  • was very rich.



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

  • How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom

  • of God!



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

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



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



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

  • are possible with God.



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

  • thee.



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

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

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



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

  • time, and in the world to come life everlasting.



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

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

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



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

  • be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:



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

  • and the third day he shall rise again.



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

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

  • were spoken.



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

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



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

  • meant.



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



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

  • mercy on me.



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

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

  • David, have mercy on me.



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

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



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

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



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

  • hath saved thee.



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

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

  • gave praise unto God.



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



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

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



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

  • for the press, because he was little of stature.



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

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



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

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

  • for to day I must abide at thy house.



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

  • joyfully.



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

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



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

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

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

  • [him] fourfold.



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

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



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

  • which was lost.



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

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

  • thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.



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

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



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

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



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

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



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

  • received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be

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

  • know how much every man had gained by trading.



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

  • gained ten pounds.



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

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

  • over ten cities.



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

  • gained five pounds.



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

  • cities.



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

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



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

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

  • didst not sow.



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

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

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

  • did not sow:



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

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



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

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



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



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

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

  • shall be taken away from him.



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

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



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

  • up to Jerusalem.



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

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

  • he sent two of his disciples,



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

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

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



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

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



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

  • as he had said unto them.



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

  • said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?



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



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

  • garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.



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



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

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

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

  • works that they had seen;



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

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



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

  • said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.



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

  • if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately

  • cry out.



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

  • wept over it,



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

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

  • they are hid from thine eyes.



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

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

  • thee in on every side,



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

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

  • upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy

  • visitation.



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

  • them that sold therein, and them that bought;



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

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



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

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

  • destroy him,



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

  • people were very attentive to hear him.



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

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

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



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

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

  • authority?



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

  • one thing; and answer me:



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



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

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



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

  • for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.



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

  • was].



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

  • authority I do these things.



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

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

  • and went into a far country for a long time.



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

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

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



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

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



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

  • and cast [him] out.



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

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

  • when they see him.



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

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

  • that the inheritance may be ours.



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

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



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

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

  • God forbid.



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

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

  • become the head of the corner?



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

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



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

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

  • perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.



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

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

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

  • authority of the governor.



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

  • sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person

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



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



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

  • Why tempt ye me?



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

  • it? They answered and said, Caesar's.



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

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

  • God's.



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

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



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

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



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

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

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

  • brother.



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

  • took a wife, and died without children.



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



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

  • also: and they left no children, and died.



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



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

  • she? for seven had her to wife.



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

  • this world marry, and are given in marriage:



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

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

  • nor are given in marriage:



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

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

  • the resurrection.



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

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

  • of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.



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

  • for all live unto him.



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

  • thou hast well said.



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

  • all].



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

  • David's son?



  • LU-20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The

  • Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,



  • LU-20:43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.



  • LU-20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his

  • son?



  • LU-20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto

  • his disciples,



  • LU-20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long

  • robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats

  • in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;



  • LU-20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long

  • prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.



  • *LU-21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their

  • gifts into the treasury.



  • LU-21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither

  • two mites.



  • LU-21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor

  • widow hath cast in more than they all:



  • LU-21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the

  • offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the

  • living that she had.



  • LU-21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned

  • with goodly stones and gifts, he said,



  • LU-21:6 [As for] these things which ye behold, the days will

  • come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon

  • another, that shall not be thrown down.



  • LU-21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall

  • these things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things

  • shall come to pass?



  • LU-21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for

  • many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time

  • draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.



  • LU-21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not

  • terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end

  • [is] not by and by.



  • LU-21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against

  • nation, and kingdom against kingdom:



  • LU-21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and

  • famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs

  • shall there be from heaven.



  • LU-21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on

  • you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues,

  • and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my

  • name's sake.



  • LU-21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.



  • LU-21:14 Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate

  • before what ye shall answer:



  • LU-21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your

  • adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.



  • LU-21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren,

  • and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause

  • to be put to death.



  • LU-21:17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.



  • LU-21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.



  • LU-21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.



  • LU-21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,

  • then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.



  • LU-21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the

  • mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out;

  • and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.



  • LU-21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things

  • which are written may be fulfilled.



  • LU-21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them

  • that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress

  • in the land, and wrath upon this people.



  • LU-21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and

  • shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall

  • be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles

  • be fulfilled.



  • LU-21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon,

  • and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with

  • perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;



  • LU-21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking

  • after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers

  • of heaven shall be shaken.



  • LU-21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a

  • cloud with power and great glory.



  • LU-21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look

  • up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.



  • LU-21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,

  • and all the trees;



  • LU-21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own

  • selves that summer is now nigh at hand.



  • LU-21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,

  • know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.



  • LU-21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass

  • away, till all be fulfilled.



  • LU-21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall

  • not pass away.



  • LU-21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your

  • hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and

  • cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.



  • LU-21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on

  • the face of the whole earth.



  • LU-21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be

  • accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to

  • pass, and to stand before the Son of man.



  • LU-21:37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and

  • at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the

  • mount] of Olives.



  • LU-21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in

  • the temple, for to hear him.



  • *LU-22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is

  • called the Passover.



  • LU-22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might

  • kill him; for they feared the people.



  • LU-22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being

  • of the number of the twelve.



  • LU-22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief

  • priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.



  • LU-22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.



  • LU-22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him

  • unto them in the absence of the multitude.



  • LU-22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the

  • passover must be killed.



  • LU-22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us

  • the passover, that we may eat.



  • LU-22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?



  • LU-22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered

  • into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of

  • water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.



  • LU-22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The

  • Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall

  • eat the passover with my disciples?



  • LU-22:12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished:

  • there make ready.



  • LU-22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and

  • they made ready the passover.



  • LU-22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the

  • twelve apostles with him.



  • LU-22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to

  • eat this passover with you before I suffer:



  • LU-22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof,

  • until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.



  • LU-22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take

  • this, and divide [it] among yourselves:



  • LU-22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of

  • the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.



  • LU-22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it],

  • and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for

  • you: this do in remembrance of me.



  • LU-22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup

  • [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.



  • LU-22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is]

  • with me on the table.



  • LU-22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined:

  • but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!



  • LU-22:23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of

  • them it was that should do this thing.



  • LU-22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them

  • should be accounted the greatest.



  • LU-22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles

  • exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority

  • upon them are called benefactors.



  • LU-22:26 But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest

  • among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as

  • he that doth serve.



  • LU-22:27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or

  • he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am

  • among you as he that serveth.



  • LU-22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my

  • temptations.



  • LU-22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath

  • appointed unto me;



  • LU-22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,

  • and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.



  • LU-22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath

  • desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:



  • LU-22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:

  • and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.



  • LU-22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,

  • both into prison, and to death.



  • LU-22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not

  • crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou

  • knowest me.



  • LU-22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse,

  • and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said,

  • Nothing.



  • LU-22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse,

  • let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no

  • sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.



  • LU-22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet

  • be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the

  • transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.



  • LU-22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords.

  • And he said unto them, It is enough.



  • LU-22:39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the

  • mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.



  • LU-22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray

  • that ye enter not into temptation.



  • LU-22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast,

  • and kneeled down, and prayed,



  • LU-22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup

  • from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.



  • LU-22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,

  • strengthening him.



  • LU-22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and

  • his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to

  • the ground.



  • LU-22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his

  • disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,



  • LU-22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest

  • ye enter into temptation.



  • LU-22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he

  • that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and

  • drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.



  • LU-22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son

  • of man with a kiss?



  • LU-22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow,

  • they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?



  • LU-22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest,

  • and cut off his right ear.



  • LU-22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And

  • he touched his ear, and healed him.



  • LU-22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains

  • of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye

  • come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?



  • LU-22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched

  • forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power

  • of darkness.



  • LU-22:54 Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him

  • into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.



  • LU-22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the

  • hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.



  • LU-22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire,

  • and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with

  • him.



  • LU-22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.



  • LU-22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said,

  • Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.



  • LU-22:59 And about the space of one hour after another

  • confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was

  • with him: for he is a Galilaean.



  • LU-22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And

  • immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.



  • LU-22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter

  • remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,

  • Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.



  • LU-22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.



  • LU-22:63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote

  • [him].



  • LU-22:64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on

  • the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote

  • thee?



  • LU-22:65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against

  • him.



  • LU-22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people

  • and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him

  • into their council, saying,



  • LU-22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them,

  • If I tell you, ye will not believe:



  • LU-22:68 And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor

  • let [me] go.



  • LU-22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand

  • of the power of God.



  • LU-22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And

  • he said unto them, Ye say that I am.



  • LU-22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for

  • we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.



  • *LU-23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him

  • unto Pilate.



  • LU-23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this

  • [fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute

  • to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.



  • LU-23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the

  • Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].



  • LU-23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the

  • people, I find no fault in this man.



  • LU-23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up

  • the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from

  • Galilee to this place.



  • LU-23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man

  • were a Galilaean.



  • LU-23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's

  • jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at

  • Jerusalem at that time.



  • LU-23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he

  • was desirous to see him of a long [season], because he had heard

  • many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done

  • by him.



  • LU-23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he

  • answered him nothing.



  • LU-23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently

  • accused him.



  • LU-23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and

  • mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him

  • again to Pilate.



  • LU-23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends

  • together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.



  • LU-23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief

  • priests and the rulers and the people,



  • LU-23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as

  • one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined

  • [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those

  • things whereof ye accuse him:



  • LU-23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo,

  • nothing worthy of death is done unto him.



  • LU-23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].



  • LU-23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the

  • feast.)



  • LU-23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this

  • [man], and release unto us Barabbas:



  • LU-23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for

  • murder, was cast into prison.)



  • LU-23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake

  • again to them.



  • LU-23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.



  • LU-23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil

  • hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will

  • therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.



  • LU-23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that

  • he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief

  • priests prevailed.



  • LU-23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they

  • required.



  • LU-23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and

  • murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he

  • delivered Jesus to their will.



  • LU-23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one

  • Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they

  • laid the cross, that he might bear [it] after Jesus.



  • LU-23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and

  • of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.



  • LU-23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of

  • Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for

  • your children.



  • LU-23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they

  • shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never

  • bare, and the paps which never gave suck.



  • LU-23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on

  • us; and to the hills, Cover us.



  • LU-23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what

  • shall be done in the dry?



  • LU-23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with

  • him to be put to death.



  • LU-23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called

  • Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on

  • the right hand, and the other on the left.



  • LU-23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know

  • not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.



  • LU-23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also

  • with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save

  • himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.



  • LU-23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and

  • offering him vinegar,



  • LU-23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save

  • thyself.



  • LU-23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in

  • letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE

  • JEWS.



  • LU-23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on

  • him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.



  • LU-23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not

  • thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?



  • LU-23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of

  • our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.



  • LU-23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou

  • comest into thy kingdom.



  • LU-23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To

  • day shalt thou be with me in paradise.



  • LU-23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a

  • darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.



  • LU-23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple

  • was rent in the midst.



  • LU-23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said,

  • Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus,

  • he gave up the ghost.



  • LU-23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified

  • God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.



  • LU-23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight,

  • beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and

  • returned.



  • LU-23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed

  • him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.



  • LU-23:50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a

  • counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:



  • LU-23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of

  • them;) [he was] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also

  • himself waited for the kingdom of God.



  • LU-23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of

  • Jesus.



  • LU-23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid

  • it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man

  • before was laid.



  • LU-23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew

  • on.



  • LU-23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,

  • followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was

  • laid.



  • LU-23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments;

  • and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.



  • *LU-24:1 Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in

  • the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices

  • which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.



  • LU-24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.



  • LU-24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord

  • Jesus.



  • LU-24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed

  • thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:



  • LU-24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces

  • to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among

  • the dead?



  • LU-24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake

  • unto you when he was yet in Galilee,



  • LU-24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands

  • of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.



  • LU-24:8 And they remembered his words,



  • LU-24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these

  • things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.



  • LU-24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the

  • mother] of James, and other [women that were] with them, which

  • told these things unto the apostles.



  • LU-24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they

  • believed them not.



  • LU-24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and

  • stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,

  • and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to

  • pass.



  • LU-24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a

  • village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about]

  • threescore furlongs.



  • LU-24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had

  • happened.



  • LU-24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed

  • [together] and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with

  • them.



  • LU-24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know

  • him.



  • LU-24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications

  • [are] these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?



  • LU-24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering

  • said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast

  • not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?



  • LU-24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto

  • him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in

  • deed and word before God and all the people:



  • LU-24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him

  • to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.



  • LU-24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have

  • redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day

  • since these things were done.



  • LU-24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us

  • astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;



  • LU-24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying,

  • that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he

  • was alive.



  • LU-24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the

  • sepulchre, and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him

  • they saw not.



  • LU-24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to

  • believe all that the prophets have spoken:



  • LU-24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to

  • enter into his glory?



  • LU-24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he

  • expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning

  • himself.



  • LU-24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:

  • and he made as though he would have gone further.



  • LU-24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for

  • it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in

  • to tarry with them.



  • LU-24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he

  • took bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.



  • LU-24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he

  • vanished out of their sight.



  • LU-24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn

  • within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he

  • opened to us the scriptures?



  • LU-24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to

  • Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that

  • were with them,



  • LU-24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to

  • Simon.



  • LU-24:35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and

  • how he was known of them in breaking of bread.



  • LU-24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the

  • midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.



  • LU-24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed

  • that they had seen a spirit.



  • LU-24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do

  • thoughts arise in your hearts?



  • LU-24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:

  • handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye

  • see me have.



  • LU-24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them [his]

  • hands and [his] feet.



  • LU-24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,

  • he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?



  • LU-24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an

  • honeycomb.



  • LU-24:43 And he took [it], and did eat before them.



  • LU-24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I

  • spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must

  • be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in]

  • the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.



  • LU-24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might

  • understand the scriptures,



  • LU-24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it

  • behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third

  • day:



  • LU-24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be

  • preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.



  • LU-24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.



  • LU-24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:

  • but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with

  • power from on high.



  • LU-24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he

  • lifted up his hands, and blessed them.



  • LU-24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was

  • parted from them, and carried up into heaven.



  • LU-24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem

  • with great joy:



  • LU-24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and

  • blessing God. Amen.
