Book 42        Luke

42:001:001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
           declaration of those things which are most surely believed
           among us,

42:001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
           were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

42:001:003 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,

42:001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
           thou hast been instructed.

42:001:005 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.

42:001:006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
           commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

42:001:007 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and
           they both were now well stricken in years.

42:001:008 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
           office before God in the order of his course,

42:001:009 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to
           burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

42:001:010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at
           the time of incense.

42:001:011 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
           the right side of the altar of incense.

42:001:012 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
           upon him.

42:001:013 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.

42:001:014 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
           at his birth.

42:001:015 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.

42:001:016 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
           their God.

42:001:017 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.

42:001:018 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
           for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

42:001:019 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
           stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
           and to shew thee these glad tidings.

42:001:020 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.

42:001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
           tarried so long in the temple.

42:001:022 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.

42:001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
           ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

42:001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
           herself five months, saying,

42:001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
           on me, to take away my reproach among men.

42:001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
           unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

42:001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
           house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

42:001:028 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.

42:001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast
           in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

42:001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
           found favour with God.

42:001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
           a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

42:001:032 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:

42:001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
           his kingdom there shall be no end.

42:001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
           know not a man?

42:001:035 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.

42:001:036 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.

42:001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

42:001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
           according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

42:001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
           with haste, into a city of Juda;

42:001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
           Elisabeth.

42:001:041 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:

42:001:042 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
           thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

42:001:043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
           come to me?

42:001:044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
           mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

42:001:045 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
           performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

42:001:046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

42:001:047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

42:001:048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
           behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

42:001:049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy
           is his name.

42:001:050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
           generation.

42:001:051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the
           proud in the imagination of their hearts.

42:001:052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them
           of low degree.

42:001:053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he
           hath sent empty away.

42:001:054 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
           mercy;

42:001:055 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
           ever.

42:001:056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to
           her own house.

42:001:057 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
           and she brought forth a son.

42:001:058 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
           shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

42:001:059 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.

42:001:060 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be
           called John.

42:001:061 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is
           called by this name.

42:001:062 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
           called.

42:001:063 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
           is John. And they marvelled all.

42:001:064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
           and he spake, and praised God.

42:001:065 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
           these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill
           country of Judaea.

42:001:066 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.

42:001:067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
           prophesied, saying,

42:001:068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
           redeemed his people,

42:001:069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of
           his servant David;

42:001:070 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
           since the world began:

42:001:071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of
           all that hate us;

42:001:072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
           his holy covenant;

42:001:073 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

42:001:074 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
           the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

42:001:075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
           life.

42:001:076 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;

42:001:077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
           remission of their sins,

42:001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
           from on high hath visited us,

42:001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
           of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

42:001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
           deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

42:002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
           decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
           taxed.

42:002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
           Syria.)

42:002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

42:002:004 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:)

42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
           child.

42:002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
           accomplished that she should be delivered.

42:002:007 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.

42:002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
           field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

42:002:009 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.

42:002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
           you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

42:002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
           which is Christ the Lord.

42:002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
           wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

42:002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
           heavenly host praising God, and saying,

42:002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
           toward men.

42:002:015 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.

42:002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
           babe lying in a manger.

42:002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
           which was told them concerning this child.

42:002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
           told them by the shepherds.

42:002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
           heart.

42:002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
           all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
           unto them.

42:002:021 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.

42:002:022 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;

42:002:023 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that
           openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

42:002:024 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.

42:002:025 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.

42:002:026 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
           not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

42:002:027 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,

42:002:028 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

42:002:029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
           to thy word:

42:002:030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

42:002:031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

42:002:032 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
           Israel.

42:002:033 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were
           spoken of him.

42:002:034 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;

42:002:035 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that
           the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

42:002:036 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;

42:002:037 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.

42:002:038 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.

42:002:039 And when they had performed all things according to the law of
           the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city
           Nazareth.

42:002:040 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
           wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

42:002:041 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
           the passover.

42:002:042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
           after the custom of the feast.

42:002:043 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.

42:002:044 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a
           day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
           acquaintance.

42:002:045 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
           Jerusalem, seeking him.

42:002:046 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.

42:002:047 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
           and answers.

42:002:048 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.

42:002:049 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
           not that I must be about my Father's business?

42:002:050 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

42:002:051 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.

42:002:052 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
           God and man.

42:003:001 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,

42:003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
           came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

42:003:003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
           baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

42:003:004 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.

42:003:005 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;

42:003:006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

42:003:007 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?

42:003:008 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.

42:003:009 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every
           tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
           down, and cast into the fire.

42:003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

42:003:011 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.

42:003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
           Master, what shall we do?

42:003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
           appointed you.

42:003:014 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.

42:003:015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
           their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

42:003:016 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:

42:003:017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
           floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
           chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

42:003:018 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
           people.

42:003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
           brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
           done,

42:003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

42:003:021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
           Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

42:003:022 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.

42:003:023 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,

42:003:024 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,

42:003:025 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos,
           which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which
           was the son of Nagge,

           was the son of Juda,

           was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,
           which was the son of Neri,

42:003:028 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,

42:003:029 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,

42:003:030 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,

42:003:031 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,

42:003:032 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,

42:003:033 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,

42:003:034 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,

42:003:035 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,

42:003:036 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,

42:003:037 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,

42:003:038 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which
           was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

42:004:001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
           and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

42:004:002 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he
           did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
           hungered.

42:004:003 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
           command this stone that it be made bread.

42:004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
           not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

42:004:005 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
           unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

42:004:006 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.

42:004:007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

42:004:008 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.

42:004:009 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:

42:004:010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
           to keep thee:

42:004:011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
           thou dash thy foot against a stone.

42:004:012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
           tempt the Lord thy God.

42:004:013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
           from him for a season.

42:004:014 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.

42:004:015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

42:004:016 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.

42:004:017 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,

42:004:018 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,

42:004:019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

42:004:020 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.

42:004:021 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
           fulfilled in your ears.

42:004:022 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?

42:004:023 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.

42:004:024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
           his own country.

42:004:025 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;

42:004:026 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
           city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

42:004:027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
           prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
           Syrian.

42:004:028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
           were filled with wrath,

42:004:029 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.

42:004:030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

42:004:031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
           on the sabbath days.

42:004:032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
           with power.

42:004:033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an
           unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

42:004:034 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.

42:004:035 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.

42:004:036 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.

42:004:037 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country
           round about.

42:004:038 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.

42:004:039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
           and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

42:004:040 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.

42:004:041 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.

42:004:042 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.

42:004:043 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to
           other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

42:004:044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

42:005:001 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,

42:005:002 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
           gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

42:005:003 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.

42:005:004 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
           into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

42:005:005 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.

42:005:006 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude
           of fishes: and their net brake.

42:005:007 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.

42:005:008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
           Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

42:005:009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
           draught of the fishes which they had taken:

42:005:010 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.

42:005:011 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
           all, and followed him.

42:005:012 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.

42:005:013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be
           thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

42:005:014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to
           the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
           commanded, for a testimony unto them.

42:005:015 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.

42:005:016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

42:005:017 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.

42:005:018 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.

42:005:019 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.

42:005:020 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
           are forgiven thee.

42:005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
           is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
           God alone?

42:005:022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
           unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

42:005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
           say, Rise up and walk?

42:005:024 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.

42:005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
           whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

42:005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
           filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

42:005:027 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.

42:005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

42:005:029 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.

42:005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
           disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
           sinners?

42:005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need
           not a physician; but they that are sick.

42:005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

42:005:033 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?

42:005:034 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
           bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

42:005:035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
           away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

42:005:036 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.

42:005:037 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.

42:005:038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
           preserved.

42:005:039 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
           for he saith, The old is better.

42:006:001 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.

42:006:002 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
           which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

42:006:003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as
           this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they
           which were with him;

42:006:004 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the
           shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it
           is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

42:006:005 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the
           sabbath.

42:006:006 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.

42:006:007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would
           heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation
           against him.

42:006:008 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.

42:006:009 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?

42:006:010 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.

42:006:011 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
           another what they might do to Jesus.

42:006:012 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.

42:006:013 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of
           them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

42:006:014 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
           James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

42:006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
           called Zelotes,

42:006:016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
           was the traitor.

42:006:017 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;

42:006:018 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
           healed.

42:006:019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went
           virtue out of him, and healed them all.

42:006:020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
           be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

42:006:021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
           Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

42:006:022 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.

42:006:023 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.

42:006:024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
           consolation.

42:006:025 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
           that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

42:006:026 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
           their fathers to the false prophets.

42:006:027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
           them which hate you,

42:006:028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
           despitefully use you.

42:006:029 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.

42:006:030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
           away thy goods ask them not again.

42:006:031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
           likewise.

42:006:032 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
           sinners also love those that love them.

42:006:033 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
           have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

42:006:034 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.

42:006:035 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.

42:006:036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

42:006:037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
           shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

42:006:038 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.

42:006:039 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
           blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

42:006:040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is
           perfect shall be as his master.

42:006:041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
           but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42:006:042 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.

42:006:043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
           a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

42:006:044 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.

42:006:045 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.

42:006:046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
           say?

42:006:047 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
           them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

42:006:048 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.

42:006:049 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.

42:007:001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the
           people, he entered into Capernaum.

42:007:002 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
           sick, and ready to die.

42:007:003 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.

42:007:004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
           saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

42:007:005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

42:007:006 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:

42:007:007 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
           but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

42:007:008 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.

42:007:009 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.

42:007:010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
           servant whole that had been sick.

42:007:011 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.

42:007:012 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.

42:007:013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
           unto her, Weep not.

42:007:014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
           still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

42:007:015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
           delivered him to his mother.

42:007:016 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.

42:007:017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
           throughout all the region round about.

42:007:018 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

42:007:019 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?

42:007:020 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?

42:007:021 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.

42:007:022 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.

42:007:023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

42:007:024 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?

42:007:025 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.

42:007:026 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
           you, and much more than a prophet.

42:007:027 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
           before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

42:007:028 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.

42:007:029 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
           justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

42:007:030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
           against themselves, being not baptized of him.

42:007:031 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
           this generation? and to what are they like?

42:007:032 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.

42:007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
           wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

42:007:034 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!

42:007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

42:007:036 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.

42:007:037 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,

42:007:038 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.

42:007:039 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.

42:007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
           say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

42:007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
           owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42:007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
           both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

42:007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave
           most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

42:007:044 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.

42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came
           in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

42:007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath
           anointed my feet with ointment.

42:007:047 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.

42:007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

42:007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
           themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

42:007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
           peace.

42:008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
           city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of
           the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

42:008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and
           infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
           devils,

42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and
           many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

42:008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to
           him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

42:008:005 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.

42:008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
           withered away, because it lacked moisture.

42:008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
           and choked it.

42:008:008 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.

42:008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
           be?

42:008:010 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.

42:008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

42:008:012 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.

42:008:013 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.

42:008:014 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.

42:008:015 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.

42:008:016 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.

42:008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
           neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come
           abroad.

42:008:018 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.

42:008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not
           come at him for the press.

42:008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy
           brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

42:008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
           are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

42:008:022 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.

42:008:023 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.

42:008:024 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.

42:008:025 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.

42:008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is
           over against Galilee.

42:008:027 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.

42:008:028 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.

42:008:029 (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.)

42:008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
           Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

42:008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
           into the deep.

42:008:032 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.

42:008:033 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.

42:008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went
           and told it in the city and in the country.

42:008:035 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.

42:008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was
           possessed of the devils was healed.

42:008:037 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.

42:008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him
           that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

42:008:039 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath
           done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout
           the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

42:008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
           gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

42:008:041 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:

42:008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and
           she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

42:008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
           spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed
           of any,

42:008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and
           immediately her issue of blood stanched.

42:008:045 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?

42:008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
           virtue is gone out of me.

42:008:047 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.

42:008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
           hath made thee whole; go in peace.

42:008:049 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.

42:008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
           believe only, and she shall be made whole.

42:008:051 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.

42:008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
           not dead, but sleepeth.

42:008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

42:008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
           saying, Maid, arise.

42:008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
           commanded to give her meat.

42:008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they
           should tell no man what was done.

42:009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
           power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

42:009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
           sick.

42:009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
           staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
           two coats apiece.

42:009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
           depart.

42:009:005 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.

42:009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
           gospel, and healing every where.

42:009:007 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;

42:009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one
           of the old prophets was risen again.

42:009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
           I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

42:009:010 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.

42:009:011 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.

42:009:012 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.

42:009:013 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.

42:009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
           disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

42:009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

42:009:016 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.

42:009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
           of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

42:009:018 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?

42:009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
           and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

42:009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
           said, The Christ of God.

42:009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no
           man that thing;

42:009:022 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.

42:009:023 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.

42:009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
           will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

42:009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
           lose himself, or be cast away?

42:009:026 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.

42:009:027 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.

42:009:028 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.

42:009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
           and his raiment was white and glistering.

42:009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
           and Elias:

42:009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
           should accomplish at Jerusalem.

42:009:032 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.

42:009:033 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.

42:009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
           them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

42:009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my
           beloved Son: hear him.

42:009:036 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.

42:009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come
           down from the hill, much people met him.

42:009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
           beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

42:009:039 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.

42:009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
           not.

42:009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
           how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son
           hither.

42:009:042 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.

42:009:043 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,

42:009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
           shall be delivered into the hands of men.

42:009:045 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.

42:009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should
           be greatest.

42:009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a
           child, and set him by him,

42:009:048 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.

42:009:049 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.

42:009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not
           against us is for us.

42:009:051 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,

42:009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
           entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for
           him.

42:009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
           he would go to Jerusalem.

42:009:054 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?

42:009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
           manner of spirit ye are of.

42:009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
           save them. And they went to another village.

42:009:057 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.

42:009:058 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.

42:009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
           me first to go and bury my father.

42:009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
           and preach the kingdom of God.

42:009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
           first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

42:009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
           plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

42:010:001 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.

42:010:002 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.

42:010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

42:010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
           by the way.

42:010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
           this house.

42:010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
           it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

42:010:007 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.

42:010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
           such things as are set before you:

42:010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
           kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

42:010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,
           go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

42:010:011 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.

42:010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that
           day for Sodom, than for that city.

42:010:013 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.

42:010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
           judgment, than for you.

42:010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be
           thrust down to hell.

42:010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
           despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
           me.

42:010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even
           the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

42:010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
           heaven.

42:010:019 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.

42:010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
           subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are
           written in heaven.

42:010:021 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.

42:010:022 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.

42:010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately,
           Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

42:010:024 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.

42:010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
           saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

42:010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest
           thou?

42:010:027 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.

42:010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and
           thou shalt live.

42:010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who
           is my neighbour?

42:010:030 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.

42:010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and
           when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

42:010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and
           looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

42:010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:
           and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

42:010:034 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.

42:010:035 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.

42:010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
           him that fell among the thieves?

42:010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
           him, Go, and do thou likewise.

42:010:038 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.

42:010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
           feet, and heard his word.

42:010:040 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.

42:010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art
           careful and troubled about many things:

42:010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
           which shall not be taken away from her.

42:011:001 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.

42:011:002 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.

42:011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread.

42:011:004 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.

42:011:005 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;

42:011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
           nothing to set before him?

42:011:007 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.

42:011:008 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.

42:011:009 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.

42:011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
           findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

42:011:011 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?

42:011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

42:011:013 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?

42:011:014 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.

42:011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub
           the chief of the devils.

42:011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

42:011:017 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.

42:011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
           kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through
           Beelzebub.

42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
