the new wine will
burst the bottles, and be
spilled, and
the bottles shall perish.
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does,
the new wine will
burst the skins,
the wine will
spill, and
the wineskins will be ruined.

drunk old wine
straightway desireth new: for he saith,
The old is better.
And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

the house of God, and did take and eat
the shewbread, and gave also to

the priests to eat.”

withered.

their thoughts and said to
the man with
the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood
there.
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?

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;

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

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.
Blessed are you when people
hate you, and when
they exclude you and
insult you and
reject your name as evil because of
the Son of Man.
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.

their fathers treated
the prophets in
the same way.

their fathers to
the false prophets.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for
their fathers treated
the false prophets in
the same way.
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
them which
hate you,
But to those of you who will
listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who
hate you,
bless those who
curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
And unto him that smiteth
thee on
the one
cheek offer also
the other; and him that taketh away thy
cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
If someone strikes you on one
cheek, turn to him
the other also. And if someone takes your
cloak, do not
withhold your
tunic as well.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Give to
everyone who asks you, and if
anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if ye love
them which love you, what
thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love
them.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
And if ye do good to
them which do good to you, what
thank have ye? for sinners also do even
the same.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
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.
And if you
lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners
lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
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.
But love your enemies, do good to
them, and
lend to
them, expecting nothing in return.
Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of
the Most High; for He is kind to
the ungrateful and wicked.
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.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over will be poured into your
lap. For with
the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

them, Can
the blind lead

they not both fall into
the ditch?

And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not
the beam that is in thine own eye?
Why do you look at
the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice
the beam in your own eye?
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.
How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take
the speck out of your eye,’ while you
yourself fail to see
the beam in your own eye? You
hypocrite! First take
the beam out of your own eye, and
then you will see clearly to remove
the speck from your brother’s eye.
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.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
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.
The good man brings good things out of
the good
treasure of his heart, and
the evil man brings evil things out of
the evil
treasure of his heart. For out of
the overflow of
the heart,
the mouth speaks.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
them, I will
shew you to whom he is like:
I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
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.
He is like a man building a house, who
dug down deep and laid his foundation on
the rock. When
the flood came,
the torrent crashed against that house but could not
shake it, because it was well built.
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.
But
the one who hears My words and does not act on
them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation.
The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
Now when he had ended all his sayings in
the audience of
the people, he entered into
Capernaum.

Capernaum.
And a certain
centurion’s servant, who was
dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
There a highly valued servant of a
centurion was sick and about to die.

the elders of
the Jews,
beseeching him that he would come and
heal his servant.
When
the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and
heal his servant.
And when
they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
They came to Jesus and
pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
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:
So Jesus went with
them. But when He was not far from
the house,
the centurion sent friends with
the message: “Lord, do not trouble
Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto
thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be
healed.
That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say
the word, and my servant will be
healed.
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.
When Jesus heard this, He
marveled at
the centurion. Turning to
the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
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.
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called
Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
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.
As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
And when
the Lord saw her, he had
compassion on her, and said unto her,
Weep not.
When
the Lord saw her, He had
compassion on her and said, “Do not
weep.”
And he came and touched
the bier: and
they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto
thee, Arise.
Then He went up and touched
the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
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.
A sense of
awe swept over all of
them, and
they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!”
they said. “God has visited His people!”
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
And
the news about Jesus spread throughout
Judea and all
the surrounding region.
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
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?
So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
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?
When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
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.
At that very hour Jesus
healed many people of
their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
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.
So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard:
The blind receive sight,
the lame walk,
the lepers are
cleansed,
the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, and
the good news is preached to
the poor.
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
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?
After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to
the crowds about John: “What did you go out into
the wilderness to see? A reed
swaying in
the wind?
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.
Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in
luxury are found in palaces.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet?
Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
What
then did you go out to see? A prophet?
Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee.
This is
the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My
messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
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.
I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
And all
the people that heard him, and
the publicans, justified God, being
baptized with
the baptism of John.
All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
But
the Pharisees and lawyers rejected
the counsel of God against
themselves, being not
baptized of him.
But
the Pharisees and experts in
the law rejected God’s purpose for
themselves, because
they had not been
baptized by John.
And
the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I
liken the men of this generation? and to what are
they like?
“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
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.
They are like children sitting in
the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played
the flute for you, and you did not dance; we
sang a
dirge, and you did not
weep.’
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
For John
the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a
demon!’
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!
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this
glutton and
drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
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.
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.
As she stood behind Him at His feet
weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and
wipe them with her hair.
Then she
kissed His feet and
anointed them with
the perfume.
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.
When
the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a
sinner!”
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
There was a certain
creditor which had two debtors:
the one owed five hundred
pence, and
the other fifty.
“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred
denarii, and
the other fifty.
And when
they had nothing to pay, he
frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of
them will love him most?
When
they were unable to repay him, he
forgave both of
them. Which one,
then, will love him more?”
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he
forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
“I suppose
the one who was
forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
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.
And turning toward
the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and
wiped them with her hair.
Thou gavest me no
kiss: but this woman since
the time I came in hath not ceased to
kiss my feet.
You did not
greet Me with a
kiss, but she has not stopped
kissing My feet since I arrived.
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.
Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been
forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been
forgiven little loves little.”
And he said unto her, Thy sins are
forgiven.
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are
forgiven.”
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
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,
Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and
proclaiming the good news of
the kingdom of God.
The Twelve were with Him,
And
Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s
steward, and
Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of
their substance.
Joanna the wife of Herod’s household
manager Chuza,
Susanna, and many others.
These women were ministering to
them out of
their own means.
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
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.
“A farmer went out to
sow his seed. And as he was
sowing, some seed fell along
the path, where it was
trampled, and
the birds of
the air
devoured it.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up,
the seedlings
withered because
they had no moisture.
And some fell among thorns; and
the thorns
sprang up with it, and
choked it.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and
choked the seedlings.
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.
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it
sprang up and produced a crop—a
hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
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.
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
