Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

And this will we do, if God permit.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

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

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

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;

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

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.

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

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.

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.

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.

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

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

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.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
