The Book of Mathew

Math:16:1: The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

Math:16:2: He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

Math:16:3: And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Math:16:4: A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

Math:16:5: And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

Math:16:6: Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Math:16:7: And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

Math:16:8: Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Math:16:9: Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Math:16:10: Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Math:16:11: How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

Math:16:12: Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Math:16:13: When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

Math:16:14: And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

Math:16:15: He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Math:16:16: And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Math:16:17: And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Math:16:18: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Math:16:19: And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Math:16:20: Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Math:16:21: From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Math:16:22: Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Math:16:23: But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Math:16:24: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Math:16:25: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Math:16:26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Math:16:27: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

The Book of Mathew

Math:17:1: And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

Math:17:2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Math:17:3: And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Math:17:4: Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Math:17:5: While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Math:17:6: And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

Math:17:7: And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

Math:17:8: And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

Math:17:9: And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

Math:17:10: And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Math:17:11: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Math:17:12: But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Math:17:13: Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

Math:17:14: And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

Math:17:15: Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

Math:17:16: And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Math:17:17: Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

Math:17:18: And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Math:17:19: Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

Math:17:20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Math:17:21: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Math:17:22: And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

Math:17:23: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

Math:17:24: And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

Math:17:25: He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Math:17:26: Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

The Book of Mathew

Math:18:1: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Math:18:2: And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

Math:18:3: And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Math:18:4: Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Math:18:5: And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Math:18:6: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Math:18:7: Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Math:18:8: Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Math:18:9: And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Math:18:10: Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Math:18:11: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Math:18:12: How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Math:18:13: And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Math:18:14: Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Math:18:15: Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Math:18:16: But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Math:18:17: And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Math:18:18: Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Math:18:19: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Math:18:20: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Math:18:21: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Math:18:22: Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Math:18:23: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

Math:18:24: And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

Math:18:25: But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Math:18:26: The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Math:18:27: Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Math:18:28: But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

Math:18:29: And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Math:18:30: And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

Math:18:31: So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Math:18:32: Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Math:18:33: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

Math:18:34: And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

The Book of Mathew

Math:19:1: And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

Math:19:2: And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

Math:19:3: The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Math:19:4: And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Math:19:5: And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Math:19:6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Math:19:7: They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

Math:19:8: He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

Math:19:9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Math:19:10: His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

Math:19:11: But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

Math:19:12: For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Math:19:13: Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

Math:19:14: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Math:19:15: And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

Math:19:16: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Math:19:17: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Math:19:18: He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Math:19:19: Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Math:19:20: The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

Math:19:21: Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Math:19:22: But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Math:19:23: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Math:19:24: And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Math:19:25: When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Math:19:26: But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Math:19:27: Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Math:19:28: And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Math:19:29: And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
