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.
and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was
hunched over
and could not stand up straight.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him,
and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity.
When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God.
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.
But the
synagogue leader was
indignant that Jesus had
healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come
and be
healed on those days
and not on the Sabbath.”
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?
“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath
untie his ox or
donkey from the
stall and lead it to water?
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?
Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her
bondage on the Sabbath day?”
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.
Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?
and whereunto shall I resemble it?
Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
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.
It is like a
mustard seed that a man
tossed into his garden. It grew
and became a tree,
and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
It is like
leaven, which a woman took
and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened.
It is like
leaven that a woman took
and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was
leavened.”
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in,
and shall not be able.
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
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:
After the master of the house gets up
and shuts the door, you will stand outside
knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten
and drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets.
Then you will say, ‘We
ate and drank with you,
and you taught in our streets.’
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’
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.
There will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you
yourselves are thrown out.
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.
People will come from east
and west
and north
and south,
and will
recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
The same day there came certain of the
Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out,
and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
At that very hour, some
Pharisees came to Jesus
and told Him, “Leave this place
and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
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.
But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons
and healing people
today and tomorrow,
and on the third day I will reach My
goal.’
Nevertheless I must walk to day,
and to
morrow,
and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Nevertheless, I must keep going
today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not
admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
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!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets
and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a
hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
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.
Look, your house is left to you
desolate.
And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
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.
One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading
Pharisee,
and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
dropsy.
Right there before Him was a man with
dropsy.
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers
and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to
heal on the sabbath day?
So Jesus asked the experts in the law
and the
Pharisees, “Is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath or not?”
And they held their peace.
And he took him,
and healed him,
and let him go;
But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man,
healed him,
and sent him on his way.
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?
And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
And they could not answer him again to these things.
And they were unable to answer these questions.
And he put forth a parable to those which were
bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
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.
Then the host who invited both of you will come
and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’
And in
humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
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.
But when you are invited, go
and sit in the last place, so that your host will come
and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of
everyone at the table with you.
For
everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and the one who humbles himself will be
exalted.”
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 recompence be made thee.
Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a
dinner or a
banquet, do not
invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may
invite you in return,
and you will be repaid.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the
lame, the blind:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot
recompense thee: for thou shalt be
recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
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.
When one of those
reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is
everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great
supper,
and bade many:
But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great
banquet and invited many guests.
And sent his servant at
supper time to say to them that were
bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
When it was time for the
banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
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.
But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field,
and I need to go see it. Please
excuse me.’
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen,
and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me
excused.
Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen,
and I am going to try them out. Please
excuse me.’
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
So that servant came,
and shewed 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.
The servant returned
and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became
angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets
and alleys of the city,
and bring in the poor, the
crippled, the blind,
and the
lame.’
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
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.
So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the
highways and hedges
and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
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.
“If
anyone comes to Me
and does not
hate his father
and mother
and wife
and children
and brothers
and sisters—
yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
And whosoever doth not bear his cross,
and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
And whoever does not carry his cross
and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
Lest
haply, after he hath laid the foundation,
and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to
mock him,
Otherwise, if he lays the foundation
and is unable to finish the work,
everyone who sees it will
ridicule him,
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
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?
Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down
and consider whether he can
engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an
ambassage,
and desireth conditions of peace.
And if he is unable, he will send a
delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
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.
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Now all the tax collectors
and sinners were gathering around to
listen to Jesus.
And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Then Jesus told them this parable:
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?
“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep
and loses one of them, does not leave the
ninety-nine in the pasture
and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,
rejoicing.
And when he finds it, he
joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
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.
comes home,
and calls together his friends
and neighbors to tell them, ‘
Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
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.
In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over
ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to
repent.
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?
Or what woman who has ten silver coins
and loses one of them does not light a lamp,
sweep her house,
and search carefully until she finds it?
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.
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends
and neighbors to say, ‘
Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
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.
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
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.
After a few days, the younger son got everything together
and journeyed to a distant country, where he
squandered his wealth in wild living.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
And he went
and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
and he sent him into his fields to feed
swine.
So he went
and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
And he would
fain have filled his
belly with the
husks that the
swine did eat:
and no man gave unto him.
He longed to fill his
belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
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!
Finally he came to his senses
and said, ‘How many of my father’s
hired servants have
plenty of food? But here I am,
starving to death!
I will arise
and go to my father,
and will say unto him, Father, I have
sinned against heaven,
and before thee,
I will get up
and go back to my father
and say to him, “Father, I have
sinned against heaven
and against you.
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy
hired servants.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your
hired servants.”’
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.
So he got up
and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him
and was filled with
compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him,
and kissed him.
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.
The son declared, ‘Father, I have
sinned against heaven
and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
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:
But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best
robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger
and sandals on his feet.
For this my son was dead,
and is alive again; he was lost,
and is found.
And they began to be
merry.
For this son of mine was dead
and is alive again! He was lost
and is found!’ So they began to
celebrate.
Now his elder son was in the field:
and as he came
and drew
nigh to the house, he heard musick
and dancing.
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
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.
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘
and your father has killed the
fattened calf, because he has him back safe
and sound.’
And he was
angry,
and would not go in: therefore came his father out,
and intreated him.
The older son became
angry and refused to go in. So his father came out
and pleaded with him.
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:
But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you
and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could
celebrate with my friends.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
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.
But it was fitting to
celebrate and be
glad, because this brother of yours was dead
and is alive again; he was lost
and is found.’”
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.
Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose
manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
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.
So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be
manager any longer.’
The
manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to
dig and too
ashamed to
beg.
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the
manager. ‘Sit down quickly,
and write fifty.’
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.
Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
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.
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.
I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for
yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will
welcome you into eternal dwellings.
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.
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
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.
No servant can serve two masters. Either he will
hate the one
and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one
and despise the other. You cannot serve both God
and money.”
The
Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this
and were
scoffing at Jesus.
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.
So He said to them, “You are the ones who
justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is
detestable before God.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
The Law
and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached,
and everyone is forcing his way into it.
