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 sons
cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
42:011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
kingdom of God is come upon you.
42:011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in
peace:
42:011:022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome
him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and
divideth his spoils.
42:011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth.
42:011:024 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith,
I will return unto my house whence I came out.
42:011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
42:011:026 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more
wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and
the last state of that man is worse than the first.
42:011:027 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed
is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast
sucked.
42:011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word
of God, and keep it.
42:011:029 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to
say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there
shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
Son of man be to this generation.
42:011:031 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the
men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from
the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
42:011:032 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42:011:033 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret
place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they
which come in may see the light.
42:011:034 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is
single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine
eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
42:011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
darkness.
42:011:036 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part
dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright
shining of a candle doth give thee light.
42:011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with
him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
42:011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not
first washed before dinner.
42:011:039 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is
full of ravening and wickedness.
42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that
which is within also?
42:011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,
all things are clean unto you.
