The Book of Mathew

Math:1:1: The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Math:1:2: Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;

Math:1:3: And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

Math:1:4: And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;

Math:1:5: And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

Math:1:6: And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

Math:1:7: And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

Math:1:8: And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;

Math:1:9: And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;

Math:1:10: And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;

Math:1:11: And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

Math:1:12: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

Math:1:13: And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

Math:1:14: And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;

Math:1:15: And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

Math:1:16: And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Math:1:17: So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Math:1:18: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Math:1:19: Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

Math:1:20: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Math:1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Math:1:22: Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Math:1:23: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Math:1:24: Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

The Book of Mathew

Math:2:1: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Math:2:2: Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Math:2:3: When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Math:2:4: And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Math:2:5: And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

Math:2:6: And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Math:2:7: Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Math:2:8: And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

Math:2:9: When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

Math:2:10: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Math:2:11: And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Math:2:12: And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Math:2:13: And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Math:2:14: When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Math:2:15: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Math:2:16: Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

Math:2:17: Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

Math:2:18: In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Math:2:19: But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

Math:2:20: Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

Math:2:21: And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Math:2:22: But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

The Book of Mathew

Math:3:1: In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

Math:3:2: And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Math:3:3: For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Math:3:4: And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Math:3:5: Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

Math:3:6: And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Math:3:7: But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Math:3:8: Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

Math:3:9: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Math:3:10: And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Math:3:11: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Math:3:12: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Math:3:13: Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Math:3:14: But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

Math:3:15: And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Math:3:16: And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

The Book of Mathew

Math:4:1: Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Math:4:2: And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

Math:4:3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Math:4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Math:4:5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

Math:4:6: And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Math:4:7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Math:4:8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Math:4:9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Math:4:10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Math:4:11: Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Math:4:12: Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

Math:4:13: And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

Math:4:14: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

Math:4:15: The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

Math:4:16: The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Math:4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Math:4:18: And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

Math:4:19: And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Math:4:20: And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Math:4:21: And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

Math:4:22: And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Math:4:23: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Math:4:24: And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

The Book of Acts

Acts:21:1: And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

Acts:21:2: And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

Acts:21:3: Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

Acts:21:4: And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

Acts:21:5: And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

Acts:21:6: And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

Acts:21:7: And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

Acts:21:8: And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

Acts:21:9: And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Acts:21:10: And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

Acts:21:11: And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

Acts:21:12: And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

Acts:21:13: Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

Acts:21:14: And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

Acts:21:15: And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

Acts:21:16: There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Acts:21:17: And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

Acts:21:18: And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

Acts:21:19: And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Acts:21:20: And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

Acts:21:21: And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

Acts:21:22: What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

Acts:21:23: Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

Acts:21:24: Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

Acts:21:25: As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

Acts:21:26: Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Acts:21:27: And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

Acts:21:28: Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

Acts:21:29: (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

Acts:21:30: And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

Acts:21:31: And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Acts:21:32: Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

Acts:21:33: Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Acts:21:34: And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

Acts:21:35: And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

Acts:21:36: For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

Acts:21:37: And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

Acts:21:38: Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

Acts:21:39: But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

The Book of Acts

Acts:22:1: Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

Acts:22:2: (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

Acts:22:3: I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

Acts:22:4: And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

Acts:22:5: As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

Acts:22:6: And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

Acts:22:7: And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Acts:22:8: And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

Acts:22:9: And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

Acts:22:10: And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

Acts:22:11: And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

Acts:22:12: And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

Acts:22:13: Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

Acts:22:14: And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

Acts:22:15: For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

Acts:22:16: And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Acts:22:17: And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

Acts:22:18: And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

Acts:22:19: And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

Acts:22:20: And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

Acts:22:21: And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

Acts:22:22: And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

Acts:22:23: And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,

Acts:22:24: The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.

Acts:22:25: And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

Acts:22:26: When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

Acts:22:27: Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

Acts:22:28: And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

Acts:22:29: Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
