THE HOUSE OF YAHSHUA
The
INTEGRATED GOSPELS
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
INTRODUCTION
This Gospel was created in order to provide students of the Bible with
a more accurate “harmony” of the four Gospels for critical study. A brief explanation of the basic premise of
this work follows.
First let the reader examine any “harmony of the Gospels” included in
his or her Bible. Two things will become
obvious at once: there is no regard for
the overall chronology, or time sequence, of the original Gospels; and events
which are similar but not identical are assumed to be the same events. Notice how the harmonist jumps forward or
backward within one Gospel, changing the sequence of chapters and verses as
written by the author. This is an
indication of the unspoken but obvious lack of respect the harmonist has for
the credibility of the four authors of the Gospels.
That same disrespect is also revealed in the common statement that “the
four authors can be compared to four witnesses to a crime: each seeing the same things but describing
them in different ways.” This is usually
said in an effort to resolve the discrepancies and contradictions between two
or accounts of the “same” event. Rather
than disregarding the authors’ credibility and their given chronologies,
shouldn’t we try a different approach to creating a harmonized Gospel instead?
The purpose of this integrated Gospel is to show that the four Gospels
contain a basic, overall chronology which becomes evident when we carefully
compare them, keeping their individual internal chronologies intact. Certain events, called here “landmarks”, have
been identified by the authors of this work as events which can be reasonably
assumed to have happened only once, and which can be used to mark a particular
place in time: for example, Yahshua’s
baptism, Peter’s declaration of Yahshua as Messiah, the transfiguration,
etc. For an event to be a landmark, it
must be recorded in at least two of the Gospels. Once these landmarks are established, we can
see that if an event occurs before a landmark in one Gospel, and a similar
event occurs after that landmark in another, then these must be two separate,
though similar, events. An examination
of the two events will reveal various major or minor differences which prove
that they are indeed separate events.
Why did Yahshua duplicate so many of His actions? The best answer to this question is
this: we must remember that His ministry
continued for about three and one-half years.
During that time He had a particular message to impart to the world, and
His words and actions were dictated by the Father (John 7:16, 8:28, 12:49-50,
etc.) He spoke to many different people
and went to many different places during that 3½ years, but His words and
actions remained essentially the same.
This, of course, led to many “mirror” events - events similar to each
other, but not the same.
In this Gospel, if an event has been reported by two or more authors
with no contradictions and no intervening landmarks, those reports have been
incorporated into one with as little loss of wording as possible. If there seem to be contradictions or
differences between two similar events, these events are recorded as separate
events. All passages are identified by
the source book(s), chapter(s), and verse(s).
All diligence has been used not only to prevent the representation of
unnecessary “mirrors”, but also to prevent the unwarranted incorporation of
similar but different events into one passage.
May this Gospel be as great a blessing to the reader as it has been to
the writers.

THE INTEGRATED GOSPELS
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and
without Him was not any thing made that was made.
In Him was life; and the life
was the light of mankind.
And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God,
whose name [was] John.
The same came for a witness, to
bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but [was
sent] to bear witness of that light. [That] was the true Light, Which lighteth
every one that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the
world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
He came unto His own, and His
own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the children of God, [even] to them that believe
on His name:
Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Forasmuch as many have taken in
hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely
believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
It seemed good to me also,
having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write
unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the
certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
The book of the generation of
Yahshua the Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac
begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
And Judas begat Phares and Zara
of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat
And
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab;
and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king;
and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam; and
Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and
Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham; and
Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and
Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and
his brethren, about the time they were carried away to
And after they were brought to
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and
Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc
begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and
Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband
of Mary, of whom was born Yahshua, Who is called the Christ.
So all the generations from
Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying
away into
There was in the days of Herod,
the king of
And they were both righteous
before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord
blameless.
And they had no child, because
that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
And it came to pass, that while
he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
According to the custom of the
priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of
the Lord.
And the whole multitude of the
people were praying without at the time of incense.
And there appeared unto him an
angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
And when Zacharias saw him, he
was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not,
Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a
son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And thou shalt have joy and
gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the
sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall
be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
And many of the sons of
And he shall go before Him in
the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.
And Zacharias said unto the
angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well
stricken in years.
And the angel answering said
unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak
unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb,
and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed,
because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
And the people waited for
Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when he
came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a
vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
And it came to pass, that, as
soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own
house.
And after those days his wife
Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, Thus hath the Lord
dealt with me in the days wherein He looked on me, to take away my reproach
among men.
And in the sixth month the angel
Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of
To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her,
and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
art thou among women.
And she was troubled at his
saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the
angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name YAHSHUA.
He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne
of His father David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and
of His kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel,
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing Which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.
And, behold, thy cousin
Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth
month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the
handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel
departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days,
and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of
And entered into the house of Zacharias,
and saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when
Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:
And she spake out with a loud
voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb.
And whence is this to me, that
the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy
salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
And blessed is she that
believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her
from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul doth
magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For He hath regarded the low
estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall
call me blessed.
For He That is mighty hath done
to me great things; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is on them that
fear Him from generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with His
arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from
their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with
good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen His servant
And Mary abode with her about
three months, and returned to her own house.
Now Elisabeth's full time came
that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
And her neighbours and her
cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced
with her.
And it came to pass, that on the
eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias,
after the name of his father.
And his mother answered and
said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
And they said unto her, There is
none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
And they made signs to his
father, how he would have him called.
And he asked for a writing
table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
And his mouth was opened
immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
And fear came on all that dwelt
round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the
hill country of
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 his father Zacharias was filled
with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for
us in the house of His servant David;
As He spake by the mouth of His
holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved
from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to
our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant; The oath which He sware to our
father Abraham,
That He would grant unto us,
that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without
fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.
And thou, child, shalt be called
the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to
prepare His ways;
To give knowledge of salvation
unto His people by the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our
God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
To give light to them that sit
in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto
Now the birth of Yahshua the
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 Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a
just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put
her away privily.
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 Spirit.
And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call His name YAHSHUA: for He shall save His people from their
sins.
Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 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'.
Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had
brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name Yahshua.
And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of
And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of
To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of
And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God
in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward mankind.
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.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as
it was told unto them.
And when eight days were
accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called Yahshua,
Which was so named of the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
And when the days of her
purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought Him
to
(As it is written in the law of
the Lord, "Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the
Lord";)
And to offer a sacrifice
according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves,
or two young pigeons.
And, behold, there was a man in
And it was revealed unto him by
the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's
Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into
the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yahshua, to do for Him
after the custom of the law, then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God,
and said, Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy
word: For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before
the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of Thy people
And Joseph and His mother
marvelled at those things which were spoken of Him.
And Simeon blessed them, and
said unto Mary His mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising

through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
And there was one Anna, a
prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great
age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about
fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God
with fastings and prayers night and day.
And she coming in that instant
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all them that looked
for redemption in
And when they had performed all
things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their
own city
And the child grew, and waxed
strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him.
Now when Yahshua was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men
from the east to
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.
When Herod the king had heard
[these things], he was troubled, and all
And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the
Christ should be born.
And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, "And thou
Then Herod, when he had privily
called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them to
bring me word again, that I may come and worship Him also.
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.
When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 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.
And being warned of God in a
dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own
country another way.
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
When he arose, he took the young
child and His mother by night, and departed into
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
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.
Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 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.
But when Herod was dead, behold,
an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in
Saying, Arise, and take the
young child and His mother, and go into the
And he arose, and took the young
child and His mother, and came into the
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: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene.
Now His parents went to
And when He was twelve years
old, they went up to
But they, supposing Him to have
been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought Him among their
kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found Him not, they turned back again
to
And it came to pass, that after
three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors,
both hearing them, and asking them questions.
And all that heard Him were
astonished at His understanding and answers.
And when they saw Him, they were
amazed: and His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us?
behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing.
And He said unto them, How is it
that ye sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?
And they understood not the
saying which He spake unto them.
And He went down with them, and
came to
And Yahshua increased in wisdom
and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Matt. 3:1-12, Mark 1:1-8, Luke 3:1-18, John 1:15-18
The beginning of the gospel of
Yahshua the Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send My messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee."
Now in the fifteenth year of the
reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod
being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of
the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
Annas and Caiaphas being the
high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the
wilderness.
And he came into all the country
about
For this is he that was spoken
of by the prophet Esaias, as it is written, "The voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make His paths straight. Every
valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and
the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God".
John bare witness of Him, and
cried, saying, This was He of Whom I spake, He That cometh after me is
preferred before me: for He was before me.
And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses,
[but] grace and truth came by Yahshua the Christ.
No one hath seen God at any
time; the only begotten Son, Which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath
declared [Him].
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.
Then went out to him
Then said he to the multitude
that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned
you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of
repentance, and begin 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.
And now also the axe is laid
unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
And the people asked him,
saying, What shall we do then?
He answereth and saith unto
them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that
hath meat, let him do likewise.
Then came also publicans to be
baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
And he said unto them, Exact no
more than that which is appointed you.
And the soldiers likewise
demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do
violence to no one, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
And as the people were in
expectation, and all mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ,
or not;
John answered, saying unto them
all, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose:
He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
Whose fan is in His hand, and He
will thoroughly purge His floor, and will gather the wheat into His garner; but
the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable.
And many other things in his
exhortation preached he unto the people.
But Herod the tetrarch, being
reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils
which Herod had done, added yet this above all, that he [later] shut up John in
prison.
Matt. 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22
Then cometh Yahshua from
Nazareth of Galilee and to be baptized of John in
But John forbad Him, saying, I
have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?
And Yahshua answering said unto
him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. Then he suffered Him.
Now when all the people were
baptized, it came to pass that Yahshua, being baptized and praying, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending in a bodily shape like a dove, and lighting
upon Him:
And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
And Yahshua Himself began to be
about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was
the son of Heli,
Which was the son of Matthat,
which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of

Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,

Matt 4:1-2, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4:1-13
And Yahshua being full of the
Holy Spirit returned from
Being forty days tempted of the
devil, and was with the wild beasts. And in those days He did eat nothing: and
when they were ended, He afterward hungered.
And the devil said unto Him, If
Thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
And Yahshua answered him,
saying, It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
of God.
And the devil, taking Him up
into an high mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time.
And the devil said unto Him, All
this power will I give Thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto
me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all
shall be Thine.
And Yahshua answered and said
unto him, Get thee behind Me, Satan: for it is written, "Thou shalt
worship Yahweh thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve".
And he brought Him to
For it is written, "He
shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee: and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone".
And Yahshua answering said unto
him, It is said, "Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh thy God".
And when the devil had ended all
the temptation, he departed from Him for a season.
And [again] the tempter came to
Him, he said, If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made
bread.
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".
Then the devil taketh Him up into
the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple, 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".
Yahshua said unto him, It is
written again, "Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh thy God".
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; and saith unto Him, All these things will I give Thee,
if Thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Yahshua unto him, Get
thee hence, Satan: for it is written, "Thou shalt worship Yahweh thy God,
and Him only shalt thou serve".
Then the devil leaveth Him, and,
behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.
And Yahshua returned in the
power of the Spirit into
And this is the record of John,
when the Jews sent priests and Levites from
And he confessed, and denied
not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered,
No.
Then said they unto him, Who art
thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of
thyself?
He said, I [am] the voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the
prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of
the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then,
if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I
baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, Whom ye know not; He it
is, Who coming after me is preferred before me, Whose shoe's latchet I am not
worthy to unloose.
These things were done in
Bethabara beyond
The next day John seeth Yahshua
coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, Which taketh away the sin
of the world.
This is He of Whom I said, After
me cometh a man Which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be
made manifest to
And John bare record, saying, I
saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him. And I knew Him not: but He That sent me to
baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon Whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He Which baptizeth with the Holy
Spirit.
And I saw, and bare record that
this is the Son of God.
Again the next day after John
stood, and two of his disciples;
And looking upon Yahshua as He
walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Yahshua.
Then Yahshua turned, and saw
them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto Him, Rabbi,
(which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest Thou?
He saith unto them, Come and
see. They came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: for it was
about the tenth hour.
One of the two which heard John
[speak], and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first findeth his own brother
Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being
interpreted, the Christ.
And he brought him to Yahshua.
And when Yahshua beheld him, He said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou
shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
The day following Yahshua would
go forth into
Now Philip was of
Philip findeth Nathanael, and
saith unto him, We have found Him, of Whom Moses in the law, and the prophets,
did write, Yahshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can
there any good thing come out of
Yahshua saw Nathanael coming to
him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto Him, Whence
knowest Thou me? Yahshua answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called
thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael answered and saith
unto Him, Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel.
Yahshua answered and said unto
him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou?
thou shalt see greater things than these.
And He saith unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the
Son of man.
And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Yahshua was there:
And both Yahshua was called, and
His disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the
mother of Yahshua saith unto Him, They have no wine.
Yahshua saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the
servants, Whatsoever He saith unto you, do [it].
And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing
two or three firkins apiece.
Yahshua saith unto them, Fill
the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And He saith unto them, Draw out
now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it].
When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the
servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom,
And saith unto him, Every one at
the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when people have well drunk, then
that which is worse: [but] thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did
Yahshua in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples
believed on Him.
After this He went down to
And He came to
And there was delivered unto Him
the book of the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, He found the
place where it was written,
"The Spirit of Yahweh is
upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath
sent Me to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year
of Yahweh".
And He closed the book, and He
gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were
in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
And He began to say unto them,
This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And all bare Him witness, and
wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said,
Is not this Joseph's son?
And He said unto them, Ye will
surely say unto Me this proverb, Physician, heal Thyself: whatsoever we have
heard done in
And He said, Verily I say unto
you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
But I tell you of a truth, many
widows were in
But unto none of them was Elias
sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of
And many lepers were in
And all they in the synagogue,
when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
And rose up, and thrust Him out
of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was
built, that they might cast Him down headlong. But He passing through the midst
of them went His way.
And the Jews' passover was at
hand, and Yahshua went up to
And when He had made a scourge
of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the
oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And said unto them that sold
doves, Take these things hence; make not My Father's house an house of
merchandise.
And His disciples remembered
that it was written, "The zeal of Thine house hath eaten me up".
Then answered the Jews and said
unto Him, What sign shewest Thou unto us, seeing that Thou doest these things?
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and
six years was this temple in building, and wilt Thou rear it up in three days?
But He spake of the temple of
His body.
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 Yahshua had said.
Now when He was in
But Yahshua did not commit
Himself unto them, because He knew all, and needed not that any should testify of
mankind: for He knew what was in mankind.
There was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Yahshua by
night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that Thou art a teacher come from God:
for no one can do these miracles that Thou doest, except God be with him.
Yahshua answered and said unto
him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born again, he cannot
see the
Nicodemus saith unto Him, How
can any one be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mother's womb, and be born?
Yahshua answered, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a one be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the
Marvel not that I said unto
thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it
listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto
Him, How can these things be?
Yahshua answered and said unto
him, Art thou a master of
If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly
things?
(And no one hath ascended up to
heaven, but He That came down from heaven, the Son of man Which is in heaven.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of
man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into
the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be
reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh
to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in
God.)
After these things came Yahshua
and His disciples into the
And John also was baptizing in
Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and
were baptized. For John was not yet cast
into prison.
Then there arose a question
between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came
unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He That was with thee beyond
John answered and said, One can
receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me
witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him,
rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is
fulfilled. He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
He That cometh from above is
above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: He
That cometh from heaven is above all.
And what He hath seen and heard,
that He testifieth; and no one receiveth His testimony.
He that hath received His
testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For He Whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto Him].
The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into His hand.
He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
When therefore the Lord knew how
the Pharisees had heard that Yahshua made and baptized more disciples than
John, (Though Yahshua Himself baptized not, but His disciples,) He left Judaea,
and departed again into
And He must needs go through
Then cometh He to a city of
Now Jacob's well was there.
Yahshua therefore, being wearied with [His] journey, sat thus on the well:
[and] it was about the sixth hour.
There cometh a woman of
Then saith the woman of
Yahshua answered and said unto
her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and Who it is that saith to thee, Give Me
to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living
water.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir,
Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast
Thou that living water? Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Yahshua answered and said unto
her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water
that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into
everlasting life.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir,
give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Yahshua saith unto her, Go, call
thy husband, and come hither.
The woman answered and said, I
have no husband. Yahshua said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no
husband: For thou hast had five
husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: that saidst thou truly.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I
perceive that Thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in
Yahshua saith unto her, Woman,
believe Me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
God [is] Spirit: and they that
worship Him must worship [Him] in spirit and in truth.
The woman saith unto Him, I know
that the Messias cometh, Which is called the Christ: when He is come, He will
tell us all things.
Yahshua saith unto her, I that
speak unto thee am [He].
And upon this came His
disciples, and marvelled that He talked with the woman: yet no one said, What
seekest Thou? or, Why talkest Thou with her?
The woman then left her
waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the people, Come, see a
man, Which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
They went out of the city, and
came unto Him.
In the mean while His disciples
prayed Him, saying, Master, eat.
But He said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not.
Therefore said the disciples one
to another, Hath any one brought Him [ought] to eat?
Yahshua saith unto them, My meat
is to do the will of Him That sent Me, and to finish His work.
Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that
reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he
that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying
true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labour: others laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
And many of the Samaritans of
that city believed on Him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told
me all that ever I did.
So when the Samaritans were come
unto Him, they besought Him that He would tarry with them: and He abode there
two days.
And many more believed because
of His own word; And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying:
for we have heard [Him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of
the world.
Matt. 4:12-17, Mark 1:14-15, John 4:43-44
Now after two days, when Yahshua
had heard that John was cast into prison, He departed thence and went into
Galilee; And leaving
He came and dwelt in
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of
Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
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.
From that time Yahshua began to
preach the gospel of the
Then when He was come into
Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him, having seen all the things that He did at
So Yahshua came again into Cana
of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman,
whose son was sick at
When he heard that Yahshua was
come out of Judaea into
Then said Yahshua unto him,
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
The nobleman saith unto Him,
Sir, come down ere my child die.
Yahshua saith unto him, Go thy
way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Yahshua had spoken unto
him, and he went his way.
And as he was now going down,
his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he
of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at
the seventh hour the fever left him.
So the father knew that [it was]
at the same hour, in the which Yahshua said unto him, Thy son liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole house.
This [is] again the second
miracle [that] Yahshua did, when He was come out of Judaea into
And Yahshua, 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.
And He saith unto them, Follow
Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And they straightway left
[their] nets, and followed Him.
And when He had gone a little
farther thence, He saw other two brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John
his brother, who also were in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their
nets.
And straightway He called them:
and they immediately left their father in the ship with the hired servants, and
went after Him.
And Yahshua went about all
And His fame went throughout all
And there followed Him great
multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from]
And seeing the multitudes, He
went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him:
And He opened His mouth, and
taught them, saying,
Blessed [are] the poor in
spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed [are] they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed [are] the meek: for they
shall inherit the earth.
Blessed [are] they which do
hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed [are] the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed [are] the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed [are] the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the sons of God.
Blessed [are] they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when [people]
shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against
you falsely, for My sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is
thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot
of people.
Ye are the light of the world. A
city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do people light a
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before
people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in
heaven.
Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments, and shall teach people so, he shall be called
the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them],
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and
Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in
danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That
whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the
judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of
the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift
to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to
thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Agree with thine adversary
quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary
deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou
shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That
whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.
And if thy right eye offend
thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast
into hell.
And if thy right hand offend
thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast
into hell.
It hath been said, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say
unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of
fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that
is divorced committeth adultery.
Again, ye have heard that it
hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt
perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all;
neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is His
footstool: neither by
Neither shalt thou swear by thy
head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your word, Yea [be] yea;
Nay [be] nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Ye have heard that it hath been
said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye
resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him
the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at
the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also. And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Ye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you,
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the sons of your
Father Which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father Which is in heaven is perfect.
Take heed that ye do not your
alms before people, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your
Father Which is in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest
[thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of people. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward.
But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in
secret: and thy Father Which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee.
And when thou prayest, thou
shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of people.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
Which is in secret; and thy Father Which seeth in secret shall reward thee.
But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for
their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
After this manner therefore pay
ye: Our Father Which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive people their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not
people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Moreover when ye fast, be not,
as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that
they may appear unto people to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
But thou, when thou fastest,
anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto people to fast,
but unto thy Father Which is in secret: and thy Father, Which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee.
Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
The light of the body is the
eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great [is] that darkness!
No one can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
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?
Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin: And yet I say unto
you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the
grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,
[shall He] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought,
saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the
Take therefore no thought for
the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
Judge not, that ye be not
judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own
eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in
thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out
the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote out of thy brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy unto
the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them
under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened.
Or what one is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will
he give him a serpent?
If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father Which is
in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?
Therefore all things whatsoever
ye would that people should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the
law and the prophets.
Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow
[is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do people gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto
Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of My Father Which is in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out
devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded
upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these
sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall
of it.
And it came to pass, when
Yahshua had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine:
For He taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
When He was come down from the
mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
And, behold, there came a leper
and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
And Yahshua put forth [His]
hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed.
And Yahshua saith unto him, See
thou tell no one; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the
gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And when Yahshua was entered
into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him, and saying,
Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Yahshua saith unto him, I
will come and heal him.
The centurion answered and said,
Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed. 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].
When Yahshua heard [it], He
marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not
found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And I say unto you, That many
shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac,
and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast
out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And Yahshua said unto the
centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto
thee. And his servant was healed in the
selfsame hour.
And they went into
And they were astonished at His
doctrine: for His word was with power and He taught them as one that had
authority, and not as the scribes.
And there was in their synagogue
a man with an unclean spirit of a devil; and he cried out with a loud voice,
Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with Thee, Thou Yahshua of Nazareth?
art Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee Who Thou art, the Holy One of God.
And Yahshua rebuked him, saying,
Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the unclean spirit had
torn him and thrown him in the midst, and cried with a loud voice, he came out
of him and hurt him not.
And they were all amazed,
insomuch that they spake and questioned among themselves, saying, What a word
is this! and What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with
authority and power commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey
Him and come out.
And immediately His fame spread
abroad throughout all the region into every place of the country round about
Matt. 8:14-15, Mark 1:29-31, Luke 4:38-39
And forthwith, when they were
come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon Peter and
Andrew, with James and John.
But Simon's wife's mother lay
sick of a great fever, and anon they tell Him of her and besought Him for her.
And He came and stood over her
and took her by the hand. He rebuked the
fever and lifted her up. Immediately the
fever left her and she arose and ministered unto them.
Matt. 8:16-17, Mark 1:32-34, Luke 4:40-41
Now when the even was come and
the sun was setting, they brought unto Him all that were diseased and many that
were possessed with devils: And all the city was gathered together at the door.
And He cast out the spirits with
[His] word and they cried out saying, Thou are the Son of God. And He rebuking them suffered not the devils
to speak, because they knew Him that He was the Christ, And He laid His hands
on all that were sick of diverse diseases and healed them:
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and
bare [our] sicknesses.
And in the morning, rising up a
great while before day, He went out, and when it was day, He departed into a
solitary desert place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with Him
followed after Him.
And when they had found Him,
they came unto Him, and stayed Him that He should not depart from them. And they said unto Him, All seek for Thee.
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 preached in their
synagogues throughout all
And it came to pass, that, as
the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the lake of
Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone
out of them, and were washing their nets.
And He entered into one of the
ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from
the land. And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when He had left speaking,
He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a
draught.
And Simon answering said unto
Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless
at Thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done,
they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they
beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should
come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they
began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell
down at Yahshua's knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For he was astonished, and all
that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
And so was also James, and John,
the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Yahshua said unto
Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch people.
And when they had brought their
ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.
And it came to pass, when He was
in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy came to Yahshua, beseeching Him
and kneeling down to Him. And seeing Yahshua he fell on his face, saying unto
Him, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
And Yahshua, moved with
compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean.
And immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed.
And He straitly charged him to
tell no one and forthwith sent him away and saith unto him, See thou say
nothing to any one: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for
thy cleansing, those things according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto
them.
But he went out, and began to
publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Yahshua could
no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and so
much the more went there a fame abroad of Him. And great multitudes came to Him
from every quarter to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
And He withdrew himself into the
wilderness, and prayed.
And again He entered into
And it came to pass on a certain
day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law
sitting by, which were come out of every town of
And straightway many were
gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not
so much as about the door: and He preached the word unto them.
And, behold, they come unto him,
four men who brought in a bed a man which was taken sick with a palsy: and they
sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.
And when they could not come
nigh unto Him or find what way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop, and uncovered the roof where He
was. And when they had broken [it] up,
they let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before
Yahshua.
And when Yahshua saw their
faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
But there were certain of the
scribes and Pharisees sitting there, and they began to reason in their hearts,
saying, Who is this [man] and why doth He thus speak blasphemies? Who can
forgive sins, but God alone?
And immediately when Yahshua
perceived their thoughts in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves,
He answering said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether
is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or
to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (He saith to the sick of the
palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine
house.
And immediately he arose before
them, took up the bed whereon he lay, and went forth before them all to his own
house, glorifying God. And they were all
amazed, and glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We never saw it
on this fashion; we have seen strange things to day.
Now when Yahshua saw great
multitudes about Him, He gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
And a certain scribe came, and
said unto Him, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.
And Yahshua saith unto him, The
foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay [His] head.
And another of His disciples
said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
But Yahshua said unto him,
Follow Me; and let the dead bury their dead.
And when He was entered into a
ship, His disciples followed Him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in
the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep.
And His disciples came to [Him],
and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
And He saith unto them, Why are
ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the
sea; and there was a great calm.
But the people marvelled,
saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!
And when He was come to the
other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two possessed with
devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no one might pass by
that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee,
Yahshua, Thou Son of God? art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?
And there was a good way off
from them an herd of many swine feeding.
So the devils besought Him,
saying, If Thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
And He said unto them, Go. And
when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the
whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished
in the waters.
And they that kept them fled,
and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen
to the possessed of the devils.
And, behold, the whole city came
out to meet Yahshua: and when they saw Him, they besought [Him] that He would
depart out of their coasts. And He entered into a ship, and passed over, and
came into His own city.
And, behold, they brought to Him
a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Yahshua seeing their faith said
unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
And, behold, certain of the
scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.
And Yahshua knowing their
thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
For whether is easier, to say,
[Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know
that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the
sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
And he arose, and departed to
his house.
But when the multitudes saw
[it], they marvelled, and glorified God, Which had given such power unto people.
Matt. 9:9, Mark 2:13-14, Luke 5:27-28
And Yahshua passed forth from
thence and went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude resorted
unto Him and He taught them.
And as He passed by, He saw Levi
the [son] of Alphaeus, a publican, [also] named Matthew, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and He saith unto him, Follow Me. And he left all, arose, and
followed Him.
Matt. 9:10-13, Mark 2:15-17, Luke 5:29-32
And Levi made Him a great feast
in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and sinners that
sat down with Him and His disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.
And when the scribes and
Pharisees saw [it], they murmured against His disciples, saying, How is it that
you and He eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
But when Yahshua heard [that],
He answered and said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but
they that are sick.
But go ye and learn what [that]
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matt. 9:14-17, Mark 2:18-22, Luke 3:33-39
And the disciples of John and of
the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto Him, Why do we fast
often and make prayers, but Thy disciples eat and drink and fast not?
And Yahshua said unto them, Can
ye make the sons of the bridechamber mourn and fast, while the bridegroom is
with them? As long as they have the
bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
But the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
No one seweth a piece of new
cloth unto an old garment, for that new piece which is put in to fill it up
taketh from the old garment, and the rent is made worse. [And] the piece that was taken out of the new
agreeth not with the old.
Neither do people put new wine
into old bottles: else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and
the bottles shall perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are
preserved.
No one also having drunk old
wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
And it came to pass on the
second sabbath after the first, that He went through the corn fields; and His
disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn and did eat, rubbing
them in their hands.
And certain of the Pharisees
said unto Him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And Yahshua said unto them, Have
ye never read so much as this, what David did, when he had need and was an
hungred, he, and they that were with him?
How he went into the house of
God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did take and eat the
shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which is not lawful to eat
but for the priests alone?
And He said unto them, The
sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is
Lord also of the sabbath.
While He spake these things unto
them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My
daughter is even now dead: but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall
live.
And Yahshua arose, and followed
him, and [so did] His disciples.
And, behold, a woman, which was
diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [Him], and touched
the hem of His garment:
For she said within herself, If
I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.
But Yahshua turned Him about,
and when He saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made
thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
And when Yahshua came into the
ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
He said unto them, Give place:
for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn.
But when the people were put
forth, He went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
And the fame hereof went abroad
into all that land.
And when Yahshua departed
thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David,
have mercy on us.
And when He was come into the
house, the blind men came to Him: and Yahshua saith unto them, Believe ye that
I am able to do this? They said unto Him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched He their eyes,
saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and
Yahshua straitly charged them, saying, See [that] no one know [it].
But they, when they were
departed, spread abroad His fame in all that country.
As they went out, behold, they
brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast
out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen
in
But the Pharisees said, He
casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
And Yahshua went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease.
But when He saw the multitudes,
He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Then saith He unto His
disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few; Pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into
His harvest.
And it came to pass also on
another sabbath, that He entered again into the synagogue and taught; and there
was a man there whose right hand was withered.
And the scribes and Pharisees
watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might
accuse Him.
But He knew their thoughts, and
said unto the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the
midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Then said Yahshua unto them, I
will ask you one thing; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do
evil? to save life, or to destroy it? But they held their peace.
And when He had looked round
about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, He
saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and
his hand was restored whole as the other.
And they were filled with
madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Yahshua.
And the Pharisees went forth,
and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might
destroy Him.
But Yahshua withdrew Himself
with His disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed Him,
and from Judaea, And from
And He spake to His disciples,
that a small ship should wait on Him because of the multitude, lest they should
throng Him. For He had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon Him for to
touch Him, as many as had plagues.
And unclean spirits, when they
saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
And He straitly charged them
that they should not make Him known.
Matt. 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16
And it came to pass in those
days, that He goeth up into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in
prayer to God.
And when it was day, He calleth
[unto Him] His disciples: and they came unto Him.
And of them He chose and
ordained twelve apostles, that they should be with Him, and that He might send
them forth to preach,
And He gave them power [against]
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease:
Now the names of the twelve
apostles are these: Simon, who He surnamed Peter; and Andrew his brother;
And James the [son] of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The
sons of thunder:
And Philip, and Bartholomew, and
Matthew the publican, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and
Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
And Judas Iscariot, the traitor
which also betrayed Him.
These twelve Yahshua sent forth,
and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any]
city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
But go rather to the lost sheep
of the house of
And as ye go, preach, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two
coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
And into whatsoever city or town
ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
And when ye come into an house, salute it.
And if the house be worthy, let
your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
And whosoever shall not receive
you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off
the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you, It shall
be more tolerable for the
Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as
doves.
But beware of people: for they
will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their
synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for
a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up,
take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that
same hour what ye shall speak.
For it is not ye that speak, but
the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
And the brother shall deliver up
the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up
against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all for
My name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
But when they persecute you in
this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have
gone over the cities of
The disciple is not above [his]
master, nor the servant above his lord.
It is enough for the disciple
that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the
master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household?
Fear them not therefore: for
there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not
be known.
What I tell you in darkness,
[that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon
the housetops.
And fear not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a
farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But
the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of
more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall
confess Me before people, him will I confess also before My Father Which is in
heaven.
But whosoever shall deny Me
before people, him will I also deny before My Father Which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a
man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes [shall be] they
of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother
more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than
Me is not worthy of Me. And he that taketh not his stake, and followeth after
Me, is not worthy of Me.
He that findeth his life shall
lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.
He that receiveth you receiveth
Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him That sent Me.
He that receiveth a prophet in
the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous one in the name of a righteous one shall receive a righteous one's
reward.
And whosoever shall give to
drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a
disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matt. 11:1, Mark 3:19-21, Luke 6:17-49
And it came to pass, when
Yahshua had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He came down with
them and they went into an house. [Then] He departed thence to teach and to
preach in their cities.
And [He} stood in the plain, and
the company of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea
and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear
Him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean
spirits: and they were healed.
And the multitude cometh
together, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
And the whole multitude sought
to touch Him: for there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
And He lifted up His eyes on His
disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the
Blessed are ye that hunger now:
for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Blessed are ye, when people
shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall
reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap
for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner
did their fathers unto the prophets.
But woe unto you that are rich!
for ye have received your consolation.
Woe unto you that are full! for
ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Woe unto you, when all people
shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
But I say unto you which hear,
Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee
on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke
forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every one that asketh of
thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that people
should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love
you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
And if ye do good to them which
do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
And if ye lend to them of whom
ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to
receive as much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and
ye shall be the sons of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to
the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as
your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be
judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be
forgiven:
Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall
men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it
shall be measured to you again.
And He spake a parable unto
them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
The disciple is not above his
master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own
eye?
Either how canst thou say to thy
brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou
thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast
out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to
pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
For a good tree bringeth not
forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For
every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor
of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
A good person out of the good
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil person out
of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the
abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I say?
Whosoever cometh to Me, and
heareth My sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is
like a one which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a
rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and
could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But he that heareth, and doeth
not, is like a one that without a foundation built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the
ruin of that house was great.
[Now] when His friends heard [of
these things], they went out to lay hold on Him: for they said, He is beside
Himself.
Now when He had ended all His
sayings in the audience of the people, He entered into
And a certain centurion's
servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard
of Yahshua, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching Him that He
would come and heal his servant.
And when they came to Yahshua,
they besought Him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom He should do
this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Then Yahshua went with them. And
when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him,
saying unto Him, Lord, trouble not Thyself: for I am not worthy that Thou
shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought I
myself worthy to come unto Thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be
healed.
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.
When Yahshua heard these things,
He marvelled at him, and turned Him about, and said unto the people that
followed Him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in
Israel.
And they that were sent,
returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
And it came to pass the day after,
that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him,
and much people.
Now when He came nigh to the
gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his
mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
And when the Lord saw her, He
had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And He came and touched the
bier: and they that bare him stood still. And He said, Young man, I say unto
thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and
began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on
all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us;
and, That God hath visited His people.
And this rumour of Him went
forth throughout all
After this there was a feast of
the Jews; and Yahshua went up to
Now there is at
For an angel went down at a
certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first
after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever
disease he had.
And a certain man was there,
which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
When Yahshua saw him lie, and knew
that he had been now a long time [in that case], He saith unto him, Wilt thou
be made whole?
The impotent man answered Him,
Sir, I have no one, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but
while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Yahshua saith unto him, Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk.
And immediately the man was made
whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
The Jews therefore said unto him
that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy]
bed.
He answered them, He That made
me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Then asked they him, What man is
that Which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
And he that was healed wist not
who it was: for Yahshua had conveyed Himself away, a multitude being in [that]
place.
Afterward Yahshua findeth him in
the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee.
The man departed, and told the
Jews that it was Yahshua, Which had made him whole.
And therefore did the Jews
persecute Yahshua, and sought to slay Him, because He had done these things on
the sabbath day.
But Yahshua answered them, My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
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.
Then answered Yahshua and said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself,
but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all
things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these, that
ye may marvel.
For as the Father raiseth up the
dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. For the
Father judgeth no one, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
That all should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the
Father Which hath sent Him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him That sent Me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself;
so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him
authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this: for the hour
is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and
shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and
they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
I can of Mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine
own will, but the will of the Father Which hath sent Me.
If I bear witness of Myself, My
witness is not true.
There is another that beareth
witness of Me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of Me is true.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare
witness unto the truth.
But I receive not testimony from
mankind: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
He was a burning and a shining
light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
But I have greater witness than
[that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the
same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me.
And the Father Himself, Which
hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any
time, nor seen His shape.
And ye have not His word abiding
in you: for Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not.
Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. And
ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.
I receive not honour from
people. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
I am come in My Father's name,
and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will
receive.
How can ye believe, which
receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God
only?
Do not think that I will accuse
you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye
trust.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would
have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe My words?
And the disciples of John shewed
him of all these things. And when John had heard in the prison the works of the
Christ, he sent two of his disciples to Yahshua,
And said unto Him, Art Thou He
That should come, or do we look for another?
When the men were come unto Him,
they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art Thou He That should
come? or look we for another? And in that same hour He cured many of their
infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind He
gave sight.
Then Yahshua answered and said
unto them, Go your way, and shew John again those things which ye do hear and
see:
How the blind receive their
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead
are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is [he], whosoever
shall not be offended in Me.
And as the messengers of John
were departed, Yahshua began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What
went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
But what went ye out for to see?
A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled in
soft [clothing] and live delicately, are in kings' houses.
But what went ye out for to see?
A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is [he], of
whom it is written, "Behold, I send My messenger before thy face, which
shall prepare thy way before thee".
For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist:
but he that is least in the
And all the people that heard
Him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves,
being not baptized of him.
[And He said again] Verily I say
unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than
John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he.
And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent
take it by force.
For all the prophets and the law
prophesied until John.
And if ye will receive [it],
this is Elias, which was for to come.
He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear.
And the Lord said, Whereunto
shall I liken the people of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the
markets, and calling unto their fellows,
And saying, We have piped unto
you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
For John came neither eating
bread nor drinking wine, and they say, He hath a devil.
The Son of man came eating and
drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Then began He to upbraid the
cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe
unto thee,
But I say unto you, It shall be
more tolerable for
And thou,
But I say unto you, That it
shall be more tolerable for the
At that time Yahshua answered
and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because 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.
All things are delivered unto Me
of My Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any
one the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [Him].
Come unto Me, all [ye] that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you,
and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls. For My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.
And one of the Pharisees desired
Him that He would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat
down to meat.
And, behold, a woman in the
city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Yahshua sat at meat in the
Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet
behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them
with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the
ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had
bidden Him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a
prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth
Him: for she is a sinner.
And Yahshua answering said unto
him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor
which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him most?
Simon answered and said, I
suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And He said unto him, Thou hast
rightly judged.
And He turned to the woman, and
said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest
Me no water for My feet: but she hath washed My feet with tears, and wiped them
with the hairs of her head.
Thou gavest Me no kiss: but this
woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss My feet. My head with
oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed My feet with ointment.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her
sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is
forgiven, the same loveth little.
And He said unto her, Thy sins
are forgiven.
And they that sat at meat with
Him began to say within themselves, Who is This That forgiveth sins also?
And He said to the woman, Thy
faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
And it came to pass afterward,
that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad
tidings of the
And certain women, which had
been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom
went seven devils,
And Joanna the wife of Chuza
Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of
their substance.
At that time Yahshua went on the
sabbath day through the corn; and His disciples were an hungred, and began to
pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
But when the Pharisees saw [it],
they said unto Him, Behold, Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do
upon the sabbath day.
But He said unto them, Have ye
not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not
lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the
priests?
Or have ye not read in the law,
how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and
are blameless?
But I say unto you, That in this
place is [one] greater than the temple.
But if ye had known what [this]
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the
guiltless.
For the Son of man is Lord of
the sabbath day.
And when He was departed thence,
He went into their synagogue:
And, behold, there was a man
which had [his] hand withered. And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal
on the sabbath days? that they might accuse Him.
And He said unto them, What one
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?
How much then is a person better
than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Then saith He to the man,
Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] forth; and it was restored
whole, like as the other.
Then the Pharisees went out, and
held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him. But when Yahshua knew
[it], He withdrew Himself from thence: and great multitudes followed Him, and
He healed them all; and charged them that they should not make Him known:
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold My servant, Whom I have
chosen; My beloved, in Whom My soul is well pleased: I will put My spirit upon
Him, and He shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry;
neither shall any one hear His voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall He
not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment
unto victory.
And in His name shall the
Gentiles trust.
Matt. 12:22-37, Mark 3:22-30
Then was brought unto Him one
possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb:
and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
And all the people were amazed,
and said, Is not this the son of David?
But when the Pharisees and the
scribes which came down from
And He knew their thoughts, and
He called them and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Every kingdom divided against itself cannot stand; [it] is brought to
desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And
if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his
kingdom stand? He cannot stand, but hath
an end.
No one can enter into a strong
man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and
then he will spoil his house.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out
devils, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your
judges. But if I cast out devils by the
Spirit of God, then the
He that is not with Me is
against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.
Wherefore I say unto you, All
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto the sons of men: but the
blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall never be forgiven unto people.
And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh
against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the [world] to come: he is in danger of eternal damnation.
Either make the tree good, and
his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the
tree is known by [his] fruit.
O generation of vipers, how can
ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
A good person out of the good
treasury bringeth forth good things: and an evil person out of the evil
treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every
idle word that people shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day
of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Because they said, He hath an
unclean spirit.
And when much people were
gathered together, and were come to Him out of every city, He spake by a
parable:
A sower went out to sow his
seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and
the fowls of the air devoured it.
And some fell upon a rock; and
as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
And some fell among thorns; and
the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
And other fell on good ground,
and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when He had said these
things, He cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And His disciples asked Him,
saying, What might this parable be?
And He said, Unto you it is
given to know the mysteries of the
Now the parable is this: The
seed is the word of God.
Those by the way side are they
that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts,
lest they should believe and be saved.
They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which
for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
And that which fell among thorns
are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and
riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
But that on the good ground are
they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and
bring forth fruit with patience.
No one, when he hath lighted a
candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on
a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
For nothing is secret, that
shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and
come abroad.
Take heed therefore how ye hear:
for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
Then certain of the scribes and
of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But He answered and said unto
them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall
no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and
three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
The men of
The queen of the south shall
rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she
came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and,
behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
When the unclean spirit is gone
out of a person, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he
is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh with
himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and
dwell there: and the last [state] of that person is worse than the first. Even
so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Matt. 12:46-50, Mark 3:31-35, Luke 8:19-21
While He yet talked to the
people, behold, [His] mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak
with Him, could not come at Him for the press.
[And they} sent unto Him, calling Him.
And the multitude sat about Him,
and they said unto Him, Behold, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without and seek
for thee, desiring to speak with Thee.
But He answered and said unto
him that told Him, Who is My mother? and who are My brethren?
And He looked round about on
them which sat about Him, and stretched forth His hand toward His disciples,
and said, Behold My mother and My brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of
My Father Which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.
The same day went Yahshua out of
the house, and sat by the sea side and began again to teach.
And great multitudes were
gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat in the sea;
and the whole multitude stood on the land by the sea.
And He spake and taught many
things unto them in parables, and said unto them in His doctrine, Hearken;
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And it came to pass, when he
sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and
devoured them up:
Some fell upon stony places,
where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had
no deepness of earth:
And when the sun was up, they
were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
And some fell among thorns; and
the thorns sprung up, and choked them and [they] yielded no fruit:
But other fell into good ground,
and brought forth fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
And He said unto them, Who hath
ears to hear, let him hear.
And when He was alone, they that
were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable.
He said unto them, Unto you it
is given to know the mystery of the
And the disciples came, and said
unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall
be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do
they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Esaias, which saith, "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not
understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed
gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears,
and should understand with [their] heart, and they should be converted, and
[their] sins should be forgiven them, and I should heal them".
But blessed [are] your eyes, for
they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, That
many prophets and righteous [ones] 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].
And He said unto them, Know ye
not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Hear ye therefore the parable of
the sower.
The sower soweth the word. When
any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then
cometh Satan, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he
which received seed by the way side.
But he that received the seed
into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy
receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.
He also that received seed among
the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the
deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also
beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
And He said unto them, Is a
candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a
candlestick?
For there is nothing hid, which
shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should
come abroad.
If any one have ears to hear,
let him hear.
And He said unto them, Take heed
what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto
you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and
he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
And He said, So is the
And should sleep, and rise night
and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the
earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after
that the full corn in the ear.
But when the fruit is brought
forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Another parable put He forth
unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a one which sowed good
seed in his field:
But while people slept, his
enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blade was sprung
up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the
householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy
field? from whence then hath it tares?
He said unto them, An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up?
But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow
together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the
reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn
them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Another parable put He forth
unto them, saying, whereunto shall we liken the
Which indeed is the least of all
seeds: but when it is sown, it groweth up, and it is the greatest among herbs,
and shooteth out great branches becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air
come and lodge in the branches and the shadow thereof.
Another parable spake He unto them;
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
And with many such parables
spake He the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].
All these things spake Yahshua unto
the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them: and
when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter
things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Then Yahshua sent the multitude
away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare
unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the
good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the wicked
[one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth
His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth
as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when one hath found, he hideth,
and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which,
when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into
vessels, but cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the
world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among The just,
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
Have ye understood all these
things? They say unto Him, Yea.
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.
Matt. 13:53, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25
And it came to pass, [that] when
Yahshua had finished these parables, He departed thence.
And the same day, when the even
was come, He went into a ship with His disciples: and He saith unto them, Let
us pass over unto the other side of the lake.
And when they had sent away the
multitude, they took Him even as He was in the ship. And there were also with
Him other little ships. And they
launched forth.
But as they sailed, He fell
asleep: and there arose a great storm of wind on the lake, and the waves beat
into the ship, so that it was now filled with water, and [they] were in
jeopardy.
And He was in the hinder part of
the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto him, Master,
Master, cares Thou not that we perish?
And He arose, and rebuked the
wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there
was a great calm.
And He said unto them, Why are
ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and
said one to another, What manner of man is this! for He commmandeth even the
wind and the sea, and they obey Him.
And they came over unto the
other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against
And when He was come out of the
ship and went forth to land, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a
certain man which had an unclean spirit long time, and ware no clothes, neither
abode in any house,
But had [his] dwelling among the
tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been
often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by
him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [one] tame him.
And he was driven of the devil
into the wilderness and always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in
the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
But when he saw Yahshua afar
off, he ran and worshipped Him,
And cried with a loud voice, and
said, What have I to do with Thee, Yahshua, Thou Son of the Most High God? I
adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me not.
For He said unto him, Come out
of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.
And Yahshua asked him, saying,
What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are
many; for many devils were entered into him. And he besought Him much that He
would not send them away out of the country and into the deep.
Now there was there nigh unto
the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought Him,
saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
And forthwith Yahshua gave them
leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the
herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two
thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
And they that fed the swine saw
what was done and fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they
went out to see what it was that was done.
And they come to Yahshua, and
see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed,
and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
And they that saw [it] told them
how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil and by what means he was
healed, and [also] concerning the swine.
And the whole multitude of the
country of the Gadarenes round about began to pray Him to depart out of their
coasts; for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship and
returned back again.
And when He was come into the
ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be
with Him.
Howbeit Yahshua suffered him
not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends and to thine own house, and
tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion
on thee.
And He departed, and began to
publish in
And it came to pass, that, when
Yahshua passed over again by ship unto the other side and was returned, much
people gathered unto Him, and the people gladly received Him: for they were all
waiting for Him. And He was nigh unto the sea
And, behold, there cometh one of
the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at
His feet, and besought Him that he would come into his house, saying, My little
daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray Thee], come and lay Thy hands on
her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
And [Yahshua] went with him; and
much people followed Him, and thronged Him.
And a certain woman, which had
an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of
many physicians, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and was not
healed of any, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Yahshua,
came in the press behind, and touched the border of His garment. For she said,
If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of
her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that
plague.
And Yahshua, immediately knowing
in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press, and
said, Who touched My clothes?
When all denied, Peter and His
disciples that were with Him said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude thronging
Thee and pressing Thee, and sayest Thou, Who touched Me?
And Yahshua said, Somebody hath
touched Me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me. And He looked round about to see her that had
done this thing.
But the woman fearing and
trembling, knowing what was done in her and that she was not hid, came and fell
down before Him, and told Him before all the people for what cause she had
touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
And He said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
While He yet spake, there came
one from the ruler of the synagogue's house which said, Thy daughter is dead:
why troublest thou the Master any further?
As soon as Yahshua heard the
word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid,
only believe and she shall be made whole.
And He suffered no one to follow
Him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James and the father and
the mother of the maiden.
And He cometh to the house of
the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed
greatly. And when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and
weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
And they laughed Him to scorn
knowing she was dead. But when He had put them all out, He taketh the father
and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with Him, and entereth in
where the damsel was lying.
And He took the damsel by the
hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I
say unto thee, arise.
And her spirit came again, and
straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve
years. And her parents were astonished
with a great astonishment.
And He charged them straitly
that no one should know it; and commanded to give her meat.
And He went out from thence, and
His disciples follow Him. And when He
was come into His own country,
And the sabbath day was come, He
began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [Him] were astonished,
saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this
which is given unto Him, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands?
Is not this the carpenter, the
carpenter's son, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda,
and Simon? and are not His sisters here with us? Whence then hath this [man]
all these things? And they were offended at Him.
But Yahshua said unto them, A
prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin,
and in his own house.
And He could there do no mighty
works, save that He laid His hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them]. And
He marvelled because of their unbelief. And He went round about the villages,
teaching.
And He called [unto Him] the
twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power and
authority over unclean spirits, and to cure diseases. And He sent them to preach the
And He said unto them, Take
nothing for your journey; [no more than one] staff only, no scrip, no bread, no
money in [your] purse: But [be] shod with sandals; and not have two coats
apiece.
And He said unto them, In what
place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
And whosoever shall not receive
you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the very dust under your
feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for
And they departed and went
through the towns, and preaching the gospel and that people should repent. And
they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and
healed every where.
Matt. 14:1-11, Mark 6:14-28, Luke 9:7-9
At that time king Herod the tetrarch
heard of the fame of Yahshua and all that was done by Him, (for His name was
spread abroad:)
And Herod said unto his
servants, This is John the Baptist whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead;
and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
And he was perplexed, because
that it was said of some that John was risen from the dead; And of some, that
Elias had appeared; and others said, That this is a prophet, or that one of the
old prophets was risen again.
And Herod said, John have I
beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him.
For Herod had sent forth and
laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for Herodias' sake,
his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
For John said unto him, It is
not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed him, but she could not. And when Herod would have put him to death,
he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet;
And he feared John, knowing that
he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did
many things, and heard him gladly.
But when Herod's birthday was
kept, Herod made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of
And when the daughter of the
said Herodias came in and danced before them, and pleased Herod and them that
sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt,
and I will give [it] thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of
me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
And she went forth, and said
unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will
that thou give me by and by upon a platter the head of John the Baptist.
And the king was sorry:
nevertheless for the oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him at
meat, he would not reject her. He
commanded [it] to be given [her], And immediately the king sent an executioner,
and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
prison,
And his head was brought upon a
platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought [it] to her mother.
And when his disciples heard [of
it], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb and went and told
Yahshua.
Matt. 14:13, Mark 6:30-33, Luke 9:10-11, John 6:1-14
And the apostles, when they were
returned, gathered themselves together unto Yahshua, and told Him all things,
both what they had done, and what they had taught. And when Yahshua heard [of it], He said unto
them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while, for there
were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
And He took them, and went aside
privately by ship over the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias, into
a desert place apart belonging to the city called
And when the people had heard
[thereof] and saw them departing, they followed Him on foot out of all cities,
and outwent them, and came together unto Him, because they saw miracles which
He did on them that were diseased.
And Yahshua went up into a
mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
And the passover, a feast of the
Jews, was nigh.
When Yahshua then lifted up
[His] eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
And this He said to prove him:
for He Himself knew what He would do.
Philip answered Him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take
a little.
And Yahshua, when He came out,
went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them
because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and He received them, and
began to teach them many things. He
spake unto them of the
And when the day was now far
spent and it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, This is a desert
place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into
the country round about, and into the villages, and lodge and buy themselves
bread: for they have nothing to eat.
But Yahshua said unto them, They
need not depart; give ye them to eat.
And they say unto Him, Shall we
go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
He saith unto them, How many
loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, one of His disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad here, which hath
but five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
He said, Bring them hither to Me.
And He commanded the multitude
to sit down by companies upon the green grass, and they sat down by ranks, by
hundreds and by fifties.
And Yahshua took the five
loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed, and brake,
and gave the loaves to [His] disciples to set before them and the two fishes
divided He among them all, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were
filled: And when they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
Therefore they gathered [them] together, and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full and of the fishes over and above unto them
that had eaten.
And they that had eaten were
about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Then those people, when they had
seen the miracle that Yahshua did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should
come into the world.
Matt. 14:22-23, Mark 6:45-47, John 6:15
When Yahshua therefore perceived
that they would come and take Him by force, to make Him a king, straightway He
constrained His disciples to get into the ship and to go to the other side
before Him unto
And when He had sent the
multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening
was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He was there alone on the
land.
Matt. 14:24-33, Mark 6:48-52, John 6:16-21
And His disciples went down into
the sea, and entered into a ship and went over the sea toward
And the sea arose by reason of a
great wind that blew and the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: and He saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them.
And in the fourth watch of the
night when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, Yahshua
went unto them, walking on the sea and would have passed by them.
And when the disciples saw Him
walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship, they were troubled, saying,
It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
But straightway Yahshua spake
unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto
Thee on the water.
And He said, Come. And when
Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Yahshua.
But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save
me.
And immediately Yahshua
stretched forth [His] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Then they willingly received Him into the
ship:
And when they were come into the
ship, the wind ceased and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
And they were sore amazed in
themselves beyond measure, and wondered. For they considered not [the miracle]
of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
Then they that were in the ship
came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God.
And when they were gone over,
they came into the
And when they were come out of
the ship, straightway the men of that place had knowledge of Him, and they sent
out into all that country round about, and began to carry about in beds those
that were sick and brought unto Him all that were diseased where they heard He
was;
And whithersoever He entered,
into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought
Him that they might touch if it were but the border of His garment: and as many
as touched Him were made perfectly whole.
The day following, when the
people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other
boat there, save that one whereinto His disciples were entered, and that
Yahshua went not with His disciples into the boat, but [that] His disciples
were gone away alone;
(Howbeit there came other boats
from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord
had given thanks:)
When the people therefore saw
that Yahshua was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and
came to
And when they had found Him on
the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, Rabbi, when camest Thou hither?
Yahshua answered them and said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles,
but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat
which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which
the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.
Then said they unto Him, What
shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He hath sent.
They said therefore unto Him,
What sign shewest Thou then, that we may see, and believe Thee? what dost Thou
work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave
them bread from heaven to eat".
Then Yahshua said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but
My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He
Which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Then said they unto Him, Lord,
evermore give us this bread.
And Yahshua said unto them, I am
the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on Me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen
Me, and believe not.
All that the Father giveth Me
shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. For I
came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him That sent
Me.
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.
The Jews then murmured at Him,
because He said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
And they said, Is not this
Yahshua, the son of Joseph, Whose father and mother we know? how is it then
that He saith, I came down from heaven?
Yahshua therefore answered and
said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No one can come to Me, except the
Father Which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is written in the prophets,
"And they shall be all taught of God". Every one therefore that hath
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.
Not that any one hath seen the
Father, save He Which is of God, He hath seen the Father.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in
the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh
down from heaven, that any one may eat thereof, and not die.
I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
The Jews therefore strove among
themselves, saying, How can this man give us [His] flesh to eat?
Then Yahshua said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and
drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
Whoso eateth My flesh, and
drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth My flesh, and
drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent
Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.
This is that bread which came
down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that
eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
These things said He in the
synagogue, as He taught in
Many therefore of His disciples,
when they had heard [this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
When Yahshua knew in Himself
that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth this offend you?
[What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before?
It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
[they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
But there are some of you that
believe not. For Yahshua knew from the beginning who they were that believed
not, and who should betray Him.
And He said, Therefore said I
unto you, that no one can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My
Father.
From that [time] many of His
disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
Then said Yahshua unto the
twelve, Will ye also go away?
Then Simon Peter answered Him,
Lord, to whom shall we go? You hast the words of eternal life. And we believe
and are sure that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Yahshua answered them, Have not
I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
He spake of Judas Iscariot [the
son] of Simon: for he it was that should betray Him, being one of the twelve.
After these things Yahshua
walked in
because the Jews sought to kill Him.
Now the Jews' feast of
tabernacles was at hand.
His brethren therefore said unto
Him, Depart hence, and go into
For [there is] no one [that]
doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If Thou
do these things, shew Thyself to the world.
For neither did His brethren
believe in Him.
Then Yahshua said unto them, My
time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you;
but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Go ye up unto this feast: I go
not up yet unto this feast: for My time is not yet full come.
When He had said these words
unto them, He abode [still] in
But when His brethren were gone
up, then went He also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Then the Jews sought Him at the
feast, and said, Where is He?
And there was much murmuring
among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man: others said,
Nay; but He deceiveth the people.
Howbeit no one spake openly of
Him for fear of the Jews.
Now about the midst of the feast
Yahshua went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying,
How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Yahshua answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not Mine, but His That sent Me.
If any one will do His will, he
shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of
Myself.
He that speaketh of himself
seeketh his own glory: but He That seeketh His glory That sent Him, the same is
true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
Did not Moses give you the law,
and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?
The people answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee?
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 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.
If a man on the sabbath day
receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry
at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
Judge not according to the
appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Then said some of them of
Howbeit we know this one whence
He is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
Then cried Yahshua in the temple
as He taught, saying, Ye both know Me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not
come of Myself, but He That sent Me is true, Whom ye know not.
But I know Him: for I am from
Him, and He hath sent Me.
Then they sought to take Him:
but no one laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.
And many of the people believed
on Him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will He do more miracles than these
which this [man] hath done?
The Pharisees heard that the
people murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief
priests sent officers to take Him.
Then said Yahshua unto them, Yet
a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto Him That sent Me. Ye shall
seek Me, and shall not find [Me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
Then said the Jews among
themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go unto the
dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
What [manner of] saying is this
that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find [Me]: and where I am,
[thither] ye cannot come?
In the last day, that great
[day] of the feast, Yahshua stood and cried, saying, If any one thirst, let him
come unto Me, and drink that believeth on Me. As the scripture hath said, Out
of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake He of the
Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was
not yet [given]; because that Yahshua was not yet glorified.)
Many of the people therefore,
when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Others said, This is the Christ.
But some said, Shall the Christ come out of
So there was a division among
the people because of Him.
And some of them would have
taken Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
Then came the officers to the
chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought
Him?
The officers answered, Never man
spake like this man.
Then answered them the
Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
Have any of the rulers or of the
Pharisees believed on Him?
But this people who knoweth not
the law are cursed.
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he
that came to Yahshua by night, being one of them,)
Doth our law judge [any] one,
before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
They answered and said unto him,
Art thou also of
And every one went unto his own
house.
[And] Yahshua went unto the
mount of Olives.
And early in the morning He came
again into the temple, and all the people came unto Him; and He sat down, and
taught them.
And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set Her in the
midst,
They say unto Him, Master, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded
us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?
This they said, tempting Him,
that they might have to accuse Him. But Yahshua stooped down, and with [His]
finger wrote on the ground, [as though He heard them not].
So when they continued asking
Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among
you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again He stooped down, and
wrote on the ground.
And they which heard [it], being
convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the
eldest, [even] unto the last: and Yahshua was left alone, and the woman
standing in the midst.
When Yahshua had lifted up
Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those
thine accusers? hath no one condemned thee?
She said, No one, Lord. And
Yahshua said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Then came together unto Yahshua
scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, and when they saw some of His
disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they
found fault.
For the Pharisees, and all the
Jews, except they wash [their] hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the
elders.
And [when they come] from the
market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which
they have received to hold, [as] the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels,
and of tables.
Then the Pharisees and scribes
asked Him, Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for
they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
But He answered and said unto
them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
For God by Moses commanded,
saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother,
let him die the death.
But ye say, Whosoever shall say
to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by
whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his
mother, [he shall be free].
And ye suffer him no more to do
ought for his father or his mother; Thus have ye made the commandment of God of
none effect by your tradition.
[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias
prophesy of you, saying, "This people draweth nigh unto Me with their
mouth, and honoureth Me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from Me. But in vain they do worship Me, teaching
[for] doctrines the commandments of men".
For laying aside the commandment
of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and
many other such like things ye do.
And He called the multitude
[unto Him], and said unto them, Hear Me every one [of you], and understand:
There is nothing from without a
person, which going into the mouth can defile a person; but that which cometh
out of the mouth, this defileth a person.
If any one have ears to hear,
let him hear.
And when He was entered into the
house from the people, then came His disciples, and said unto Him, Knowest Thou
that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
But He answered and said, Every
plant, which My heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them
alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch.
Then answered Peter and said
unto Him, Declare unto us this parable.
And Yahshua said, Are ye also
yet without understanding?
Do not ye yet understand, that
whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into
the draught, purging all that is eaten?
It cannot defile him because it entereth not into his heart but into the
belly.
But those things which proceed
out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the person.
For out of the heart of people
proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, pride, foolishness, false
witness, blasphemies:
All these evil things come from
within: These are [the things] which defile one: but to eat with unwashen hands
defileth not a one.
Then Yahshua arose and went
thence, and departed into the coasts of
And, behold, a certain woman of
Canaan, a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, came out of the same coasts, and
fell at His feet and besought Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [Thou] son
of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth
after us.
But He answered and said, I am
not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Then came she and worshipped
Him, saying, Lord, help me.
But He answered and said, Let
the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread,
and to cast [it] to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Yahshua answered and said
unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And
her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
And again, departing from the
coasts of
And great multitudes came unto
Him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many
others, and cast them down at Yahshua's feet; and He healed them: insomuch that
the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be
whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of
Israel.
And they bring unto Him one that
was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech Him to put His
hand upon him.
And He took him aside from the
multitude, and put His fingers into his ears, and He spit, and touched his
tongue; And looking up to heaven, He sighed, and saith unto Him, Ephphatha,
that is, Be opened.
And straightway his ears were
opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
And He charged them that they
should tell no one: but the more He charged them, so much the more a great deal
they published [it];
And were beyond measure
astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: He maketh both the deaf to
hear, and the dumb to speak.
In those days the multitude
being very great, and having nothing to eat, Yahshua called His disciples [unto
Him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with
Me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away
fasting to their own houses, lest they faint in the way, for divers of them
came from far.
And His disciples say unto Him,
Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a
multitude?
And Yahshua saith unto them, How
many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
And He commanded the multitude
to sit down on the ground.
And He took the seven loaves and
the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to His disciples to set
before [them]; and the disciples did set [them] before the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
And they that did eat were four
thousand men, beside women and children: And He sent the multitude away, and
took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
The Pharisees also with the
Sadducees came, and tempting desired Him that He would shew them a sign from
heaven.
He answered and said unto them,
When it is evening, ye say, Fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, [It will be]
foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can
discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
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.
And straightway He entered into
a ship with His disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
And the Pharisees came forth,
and began to question with Him, seeking of Him a sign from heaven, tempting Him.
And He sighed deeply in His
spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say
unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
And He left them, and entering
into the ship again departed to the other side.
And when His disciples were come
to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the
ship with them more than one loaf.
Then Yahshua charged them,
saying, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no bread.
[Which] when Yahshua perceived,
He said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no bread?
Perceive ye not yet, neither
understand? have ye your hearts yet hardened?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? When I brake the five loaves among the five
thousand, how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say unto Him,
Twelve.
And when the seven loaves among
the four thousand, how many baskets ye took up?
And they said, Seven.
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?
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.
And He cometh to
And He took the blind man by the
hand, and led him out of the town; and when He had spit on his eyes, and put
His hands upon him, He asked him if he saw ought.
And he looked up, and said, I
see men as trees, walking.
After that He put [His] hands
again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw all
clearly.
And He sent him away to his
house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
Matt. 16:13-21, Mark 8:27-31, Luke 9:18-22
And Yahshua went out, and His
disciples, into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi. And by the way it came to pass, as He was
alone praying, His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, saying unto
them, Whom do people say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some [say that
Thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the
old prophets is risen again.
He saith unto them, But whom say
ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and
said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Yahshua answered and said
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed [it] unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven.
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.
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.
Then straitly charged He His
disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.
From that time forth began
Yahshua to teach them and shew unto His disciples, how that He must go unto
Jerusalem, and suffer many things and be rejected of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Matt. 16:22-28, Mark 8:32-9:1, Luke 9:23-27
And He spake that saying
openly. Then Peter took Him, and began
to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee, Lord: this shall not be unto Thee.
But He turned about and looked
on His disciples, 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.
And when He had called the
people [unto Him] with His disciples also, He said unto them, Whosoever will
come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake daily, and follow Me.
For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake and the gospel's,
the same shall find it.
For what is one profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul, or be cast away? or what
shall a person give in exchange for his soul?
Whosoever therefore shall be
ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him
also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He cometh in His own glory and in
the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
For the Son of man shall come in
the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward each
according to his works.
Verily I say unto you, There be
some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the
Matt. 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-10, Luke 9:28-36
And it came to pass about an
eight days after these sayings, six days [exclusive], Yahshua taketh [with Him]
Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart by themselves to pray,
And as He prayed, the fashion of
His countenance was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the
sun, and His raiment became shining, white as the light, exceeding white as
snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
And, behold, there appeared unto
them Moses and Elias talking with Him, who appeared in glory and spake of His
decease which He should accomplish in
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.
And it came to pass, as they
departed from Him, then answered Peter, and said unto Yahshua, Master, 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.
For he wist not what to say; for
they were sore afraid.
While he yet spake, behold,
there was a bright cloud that overshadowed them: and behold a voice came out of
the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear
ye Him.
And when the disciples heard
[it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Yahshua came and touched
them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up
their eyes and looked around, they saw no one any more, save Yahshua only with
themselves.
And as they came down from the
mountain, Yahshua charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the
Son of man be risen again from the dead.
And they kept that saying with
themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should
mean and told no one in those days any of those things which they had seen.
And His disciples asked Him,
saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Yahshua answered and said
unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things; and how it is
written of the Son of man, that He must suffer many things, and be set at
nought.
But I say unto you, That Elias
is indeed come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever
they listed. Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the
Baptist.
Matt. 17:14-21, Mark 9:14-29, Luke 9:37-42
And it came to pass, that on the
next day, when they were come down from the hill, when He came to [His] disciples,
He saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning them.
And straightway all the people,
when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed, and running to [Him], saluted Him.
And when they were come to the
multitude, He asked the scribes, What question ye with them? and there came to
Him a [certain] man on the multitude, kneeling down to Him, and saying,
Master, I have brought unto Thee
my son, my only child. I beseech Thee have mercy on [him]: for he is lunatick
and hath a dumb spirit, and is sore vexed.
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him; ofttimes he falleth into
the fire, and oft into the water. And he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth,
and pineth away, and bruising him hardly [it] departeth from him: and I spake
to Thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Then Yahshua answered him, 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.
And they brought him unto Him:
and as he was yet a coming, when he saw Him, straightway the spirit threw him
down and tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
And He asked his father, How
long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
And ofttimes it hath cast him
into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if Thou canst do any
thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Yahshua said unto him, If thou
canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.
And straightway the father of
the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help Thou mine
unbelief.
And when Yahshua saw that the
people came running together, He rebuked the devil, saying unto him, [Thou]
dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into
him; and [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was
as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
But Yahshua took him by the
hand, and lifted him up; and he arose and the child was cured from that very
hour. And He delivered him again to his
father
And when He was come into the
house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And
Yahshua 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.
And He said unto them, Howbeit,
this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Matt. 17:22-23, Mark 9:30-32, Luke 9:43-45
And they were all amazed at the
mighty power of God.
And they departed thence, and
passed through
And while they abode in Galilee
and wondered every one at all things which Yahshua did, Yahshua taught His
disciples and said unto them, Let these sayings sink down into your ears: The
Son of man shall be betrayed and delivered into the hands of men: and they
shall kill Him; and after that He is killed, He shall rise the third day.
And they were exceeding sorry.
But they understood not that saying, it was hid from them, that they perceived
it not: and they feared to ask Him of that saying.
Then there arose a reasoning
among them, which of them should be greatest.
Matt. 17:24-27, Mark 9:33-37, Luke 9:47-48
And He came to
He saith, Yes. And when he was
come into the house, Yahshua prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon?
of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own sons, or
of strangers?
Peter saith unto Him, Of
strangers. Yahshua saith unto him, Then are the sons free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should
offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that
first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece
of money: that take, and give unto them for Me and thee.
And being in the house He asked
them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
But they held their peace: for
by the way they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest.
And He sat down, and called the
twelve, and saith unto them, If any one desire to be first, [the same] shall be
last of all, and servant of all.
And Yahshua, perceiving the
thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by Him in the midst of them:
and when He had taken him in His arms, He said unto them, Whosoever shall
receive one of such children as this child in My name receiveth Me: and
whosoever shall receive Me receiveth not Me, but Him That sent Me: for he that
is least among you all, the same shall be great.
And John answered Him, saying,
Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, and he followeth not us: and
we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
But Yahshua said, Forbid him
not: for there is no one which shall do a miracle in My name, that can lightly
speak evil of Me.
For he that is not against us is
for us.
For whosoever shall give you a
cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to the Christ, verily I say
unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
And whosoever shall offend one
of [these] little ones that believe in Me, it is better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut
it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands
to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm
dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thy foot offend thee, cut
it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to
be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm
dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the
For every one shall be salted
with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Salt [is] good: but if the salt
have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves,
and have peace one with another.
At the same time came the
disciples unto Yahshua, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Yahshua called a little
child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, 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.
Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me.
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.
Woe unto the world because of
offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that one by whom
the offence cometh!
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.
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.
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.
For the Son of man is come to
save that which was lost.
How think ye? if someone 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?
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.
Even so it is not the will of
your Father Which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
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.
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.
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 and a publican.
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.
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. For where two or three
are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.
Then came Peter to Him, and
said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till
seven times?
Yahshua saith unto him, I say
not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten
thousand talents.
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.
The servant therefore fell down,
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
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.
And his fellowservant fell down
at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should
pay the debt.
So when his fellowservants saw
what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that
was done.
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:
Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and
delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall My heavenly
Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses.
And it came to pass, [that] when
Yahshua had finished these sayings, He arose from thence and departed from
Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
And great multitudes followed
Him; and He healed them there, and as He was wont, He taught them again.
Then spake Yahshua again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The Pharisees therefore said
unto Him, Thou bearest record of Thyself; Thy record is not true.
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, Though I bear record of Myself, [yet] My record is true: for I know
whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither
I go.
Ye judge after the flesh; I
judge no one.
And yet if I judge, My judgment
is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father That sent Me.
It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
I am one That bear witness of
Myself, and the Father That sent Me beareth witness of Me.
Then said they unto Him, Where
is Thy Father? Yahshua answered, Ye neither know Me, nor My Father: if ye had
known Me, ye should have known My Father also.
These words spake Yahshua in the
treasury, as He taught in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him; for His
hour was not yet come.
Then said Yahshua again unto
them, I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I
go, ye cannot come.
Then said the Jews, Will He kill
Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
And He said unto them, Ye are
from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not
that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
Then said they unto Him, Who art
Thou? And Yahshua saith unto them, Even [the same] that I said unto you from
the beginning.
I have many things to say and to
judge of you: but He That sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those
things which I have heard of Him.
They understood not that He
spake to them of the Father.
Then said Yahshua unto them,
When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and [that]
I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.
And He That sent Me is with Me:
the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him.
As He spake these words, many
believed on Him.
Then said Yahshua to those Jews
which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, [then] are ye My disciples
indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
They answered Him, We be
Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any one: how sayest Thou, Ye shall
be made free?
Yahshua answered them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the
servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever.
If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed.
I know that ye are Abraham's
seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My word hath no place in you.
I speak that which I have seen
with My Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
They answered and said unto Him,
Abraham is our father.
Yahshua saith unto them, If ye
were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to
kill Me, one that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did
not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to Him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father,
[even] God.
Yahshua said unto them, If God
were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why do ye not understand My
speech? [even] because ye cannot hear My word.
Ye are of [your] father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it. And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe Me not.
Which of you convinceth Me of
sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe Me?
He that is of God heareth God's
words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Then answered the Jews, and said
unto him, Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Yahshua answered, I have not a
devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me.
And I seek not Mine own glory:
there is One That seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If any one keep My saying, he shall never see death.
Then said the Jews unto Him, Now
we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou
sayest, If any one keep My saying, he shall never taste of death.
Art Thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: Whom makest Thou Thyself?
Yahshua answered, If I honour
Myself, My honour is nothing: it is My Father That honoureth Me; of Whom ye
say, that He is your God: Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I
should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him,
and keep His saying.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see My day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto Him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?
Yahshua said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast
at Him: but Yahshua hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the
midst of them, and so passed by.
And as [Yahshua] passed by, He
saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.
And His disciples asked Him,
saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Yahshua answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents: but
that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
I must work the works of Him
That sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.
When He had thus spoken, He spat
on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and
He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
And said unto him, Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way
therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
The neighbours therefore, and
they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat
and begged?
Some said, This is he: others
[said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
Therefore said they unto him,
How were thine eyes opened?
He answered and said, A man that
is called Yahshua made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to
the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Then said they unto him, Where
is He? He said, I know not.
They brought to the Pharisees
him that aforetime was blind.
And it was the sabbath day when
Yahshua made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Then again the Pharisees also
asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon
mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
Therefore said some of the
Pharisees, This one is not of God, because He keepeth not the sabbath day.
Others said, How can any one that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a
division among them.
They say unto the blind man again,
What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a
prophet.
But the Jews did not believe
concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they
called the parents of him that had received his sight.
And they asked them, saying, Is
this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
His parents answered them and
said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
But by what means he now seeth,
we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him:
he shall speak for himself.
These [words] spake his parents,
because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one
did confess that He was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Therefore said his parents, He
is of age; ask him.
Then again called they the man
that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man
is a sinner.
He answered and said, Whether He
be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind,
now I see.
Then said they to him again,
What did He to thee? how opened He thine eyes?
He answered them, I have told
you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye
also be His disciples?
Then they reviled him, and said,
Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spake unto
Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we know not from whence He is.
The man answered and said unto
them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and
[yet] He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but
if any one be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth.
Since the world began was it not
heard that any one opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
If this man were not of God, He
could do nothing.
They answered and said unto him,
Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him
out.
Yahshua heard that they had cast
him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the
Son of God?
He answered and said, Who is He,
Lord, that I might believe on Him?
And Yahshua said unto him, Thou hast
both seen Him, and it is He That talketh with thee.
And he said, Lord, I believe.
And he worshipped Him.
And Yahshua said, For judgment I
am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which
see might be made blind.
And [some] of the Pharisees
which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also?
Yahshua said unto them, If ye
were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin
remaineth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other
way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is
the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and
the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth
them out.
And when he putteth forth his
own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his
voice.
And a stranger will they not
follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
This parable spake Yahshua unto
them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them.
Then said Yahshua unto them
again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
All that ever came before Me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: by Me if any one
enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and
that they might have [it] more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and
not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the
sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he
is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and know
My [sheep], and am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the
Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and
there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
Therefore doth My Father love
Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.
No one taketh it from Me, but I
lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
again. This commandment have I received of My Father.
There was a division therefore
again among the Jews for these sayings.
And many of them said, He hath a
devil, and is mad; why hear ye Him?
Others said, These are not the
words of Him That hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
And it was at
And Yahshua walked in the temple
in Solomon's porch.
Then came the Jews round about Him,
and said unto Him, How long dost Thou make us to doubt? If Thou be the Christ,
tell us plainly.
Yahshua answered them, I told
you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father's name, they bear
witness of Me.
But ye believe not, because ye are
not of My sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear My voice, and I
know them, and they follow Me:
And I give unto them eternal
life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [one] pluck them out of My
hand.
My Father, Which gave [them] Me,
is greater than all; and no [one] is able to pluck [them] out of My Father's
hand.
I and [My] Father are one.
Then the Jews took up stones
again to stone Him.
Yahshua answered them, Many good
works have I shewed you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?
The Jews answered Him, saying,
For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that Thou,
being a man, makest Thyself God.
Yahshua answered them, Is it not
written in your law, "I said, Ye are gods"?
If He called them gods, unto
whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of Him,
Whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because
I said, I am the Son of God?
If I do not the works of My
Father, believe Me not.
But if I do, though ye believe
not Me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is]
in Me, and I in Him.
Therefore they sought again to
take Him: but He escaped out of their hand, and went away again beyond
And many resorted unto Him, and
said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
And many believed on Him there.
Now a certain [man] was sick,
[named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of
(It was [that] Mary which
anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose
brother Lazarus was sick.)
Therefore his sisters sent unto
Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick.
When Yahshua heard [that], He
said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son
of God might be glorified thereby.
Now Yahshua loved Martha, and
her sister, and Lazarus.
When He had heard therefore that
he was sick, He abode two days still in the same place where He was.
Then after that saith He to
[His] disciples, Let us go into
[His] disciples say unto Him,
Master, the Jews of late sought to stone Thee; and goest Thou thither again?
Yahshua answered, Are there not
twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because
he seeth the light of this world. But if any one walk in the night, he
stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
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.
Then said His disciples, Lord,
if he sleep, he shall do well.
Howbeit Yahshua spake of his
death: but they thought that He had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Then said Yahshua unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to
the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Then said Thomas, which is
called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with
Him.
Then when Yahshua came, He found
that he had [lain] in the grave four days already.
Now
Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Yahshua was coming, went and met Him: but Mary sat in the house.
Then said Martha unto Yahshua,
Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even
now, whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] Thee.
Yahshua saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise again.
Martha saith unto Him, I know
that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Yahshua said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, shall
he live:
And whosoever liveth and
believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?
She saith unto Him, Yea, Lord: I
believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, Which should come into the
world.
And when she had so said, she
went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come,
and calleth for thee.
As soon as she heard [that], she
arose quickly, and came unto Him.
Now Yahshua was not yet come
into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.
The Jews then which were with
her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up
hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep
there.
Then when Mary was come where
Yahshua was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if
Thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
When Yahshua therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned in the
spirit, and was troubled, and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto Him,
Lord, come and see.
Yahshua wept.
Then said the Jews, Behold how
He loved him!
And some of them said, Could not
this one, Which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this one
should not have died?
Yahshua therefore again groaning
in Himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Yahshua said, Take ye away the
stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto Him, Lord, by this
time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
Yahshua saith unto her, Said I
not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of
God?
Then they took away the stone
[from the place] where the dead was laid. And Yahshua lifted up [His] eyes, and
said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.
And I knew that Thou hearest Me
always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may
believe that Thou hast sent Me.
And when He thus had spoken, He
cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came forth,
bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a
napkin. Yahshua saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Then many of the Jews which came
to Mary, and had seen the things which Yahshua did, believed on Him. But some
of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Yahshua had
done.
Then gathered the chief priests
and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many
miracles.
If we let Him thus alone, all
will believe on Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and
nation.
And one of them, [named]
Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing
at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for
the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
And this spake he not of
himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahshua should die
for that nation;
And not for that nation only,
but that also He should gather together in one the children of God that were
scattered abroad.
Then from that day forth they
took counsel together for to put Him to death.
Yahshua therefore walked no more
openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness,
into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with His disciples.
And it came to pass, when the
time was come that He should be received up, He stedfastly set His face to go
to
And they did not receive Him,
because His face was as though He would go to
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?
But He turned, and rebuked them.
And they went to another village.
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.
And Yahshua 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.
And He said unto another, Follow
Me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Yahshua said unto him, Let the
dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the
And another also said, Lord, I
will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at
my house.
And Yahshua said unto him, No
one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the
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.
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.
Go your ways: behold, I send you
forth as lambs among wolves.
Carry neither purse, nor scrip,
nor shoes: and salute no one by the way.
And into whatsoever house ye
enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
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.
And into whatsoever city ye
enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal
the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
But into whatsoever city ye
enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same,
and say, 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.
But I say unto you, that it
shall be more tolerable in that day for
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe
unto thee,
sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for
And thou,
He that heareth you heareth Me;
and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him
That sent Me.
And the seventy returned again
with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.
And He said unto them, I beheld
Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
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.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice
not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your
names are written in heaven.
In that hour Yahshua 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.
All things are delivered to Me
of My Father: and no one 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.
And He turned Him unto His
disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that
ye see:
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.
And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?
He said unto Him, What is
written in the law? how readest thou?
And he answering said,
"Thou shalt love Yahweh 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".
And He said unto him, Thou hast
answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
But he, willing to justify
himself, said unto Yahshua, And who is my neighbour?
And Yahshua 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.
And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he
was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
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.
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.
Which now of these three,
thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. Then said Yahshua unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
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.
And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at Yahshua's feet, and heard His word.
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.
And Yahshua answered and said
unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But
one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be
taken away from her.
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.
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. Give us day by day our daily bread. 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.
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; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to
me, and I have nothing to set before him?
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.
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.
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. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to
him that knocketh it shall be opened.
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? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion?
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?
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.
But some of them said, He
casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
And others, tempting Him, sought
of Him a sign from heaven.
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.
If Satan also be divided against
himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils
through Beelzebub.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out
devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
But if I with the finger of God
cast out devils, no doubt the
When a strong man armed keepeth
his palace, his goods are in peace: 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.
He that is not with Me is
against Me: and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth.
When the unclean spirit is gone
out of a one, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he
saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he
findeth it swept and garnished.
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 one is worse than the first.
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.
But He said, Yea rather, blessed
are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
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.
For as Jonas was a sign unto the
Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
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.
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.
No one, 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.
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.
Take heed therefore that the
light which is in thee be not darkness.
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.
And as He spake, a certain
Pharisee besought Him to dine with him: and He went in, and sat down to meat.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he
marvelled that He had not first washed before dinner.
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.
Ye fools, did not He That made
that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of
such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for
ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the
love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye
love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the people
that walk over them are not aware of them.
Then answered one of the
lawyers, and said unto Him, Master, thus saying Thou reproachest us also.
And He said, Woe unto you also,
ye lawyers! for ye lade people with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye
yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Woe unto you! for ye build the
sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness
that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye
build their sepulchres.
Therefore also said the wisdom
of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall
slay and persecute:
That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of
this generation;
From the blood of Abel unto the
blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I
say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye
have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them
that were entering in ye hindered.
And as He said these things unto
them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him vehemently, and to
provoke Him to speak of many things:
Laying wait for Him, and seeking
to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
In the mean time, when there
were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they
trode one upon another, He began to say unto His disciples first of all, Beware
ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Therefore whatsoever ye have
spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken
in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
And I say unto you My friends,
Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they
can do.
But I will forewarn you Whom ye
shall fear: Fear Him, Which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell;
yea, I say unto you, Fear Him.
Are not five sparrows sold for
two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value
than many sparrows.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever
shall confess Me before people, him shall the Son of man also confess before
the angels of God:
But he that denieth Me before
people shall be denied before the angels of God.
And whosoever shall speak a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth
against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
And when they bring you unto the
synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what
thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
For the Holy Spirit shall teach
you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
And one of the company said unto
Him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
And He said unto him, Man, who
made Me a judge or a divider over you?
And He said unto them, Take
heed, and beware of covetousness: for a person's life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And He spake a parable unto
them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And
he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits?
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 I will say to my soul, Soul,
thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and
be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those
things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure
for himself, and is not rich toward God.
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. The life is more than meat, and the
body is more than raiment.
Consider the ravens: for they
neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth
them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
And which of you with taking
thought can add to his stature one cubit?
If ye then be not able to do
that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Consider the lilies how they
grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass,
which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much
more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?
And seek not ye what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the
nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of
these things. But rather seek ye the
Fear not, little flock; for it
is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Sell that ye have, and give
alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that
faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto people that wait for their
lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.
Blessed are those servants, whom
the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he
shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and
serve them.
And if he shall come in the
second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those
servants.
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.
Be ye therefore ready also: for
the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Then Peter said unto him, Lord,
speakest Thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
And the Lord said, Who then is
that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his
household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Of a truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all that he hath. But and if that servant say in
his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants
and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
The lord of that servant will
come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware,
and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers.
And that servant, which knew his
lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall
be beaten with many stripes.
But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto
whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom people
have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
I am come to send fire on the
earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Suppose ye that I am come to
give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth
there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against
three.
The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the
daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her
daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And He said also to the people,
When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a
shower; and so it is.
And when ye see the south wind
blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this
time?
Yea, and why even of yourselves
judge ye not what is right?
When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou
mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
I tell thee, thou shalt not
depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
There were present at that
season some that told Him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled
with their sacrifices.
And Yahshua answering said unto
them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans,
because they
suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish.
Or those eighteen, upon whom the
tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all
people that dwelt in
He spake also this parable; A
certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought
fruit thereon, and found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of
his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it down; why
cumbereth it the ground?
And he answering said unto him,
Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And
if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
And He was teaching in one of
the synagogues on the sabbath.
And, behold, there was a woman
which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and
could in no wise lift up herself.
And when Yahshua saw her, He
called her to Him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. And He laid His hands on her: and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God.
And the ruler of the synagogue
answered with indignation, because that Yahshua had healed on the sabbath day,
and said unto the people, There are six days in which people ought to work: in
them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and
said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or
his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
And ought not this woman, being
a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be
loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
And when He had said these
things, all His adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all
the glorious things that were done by Him.
Then said He, Unto what is the
It is like a grain of mustard
seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a
great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
And again He said, Whereunto
shall I liken the
It is like leaven, which a woman
took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
And He went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying toward
Then said one unto Him, Lord,
are there few that be saved? And He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the
strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able.
When once the master of the
house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without,
and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer
and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Then shall ye begin to say, We
have eaten and drunk in Thy presence, and Thou hast taught in our streets.
But He shall say, I tell you, I
know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit
down in the
And, behold, there are last
which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto Him, Get Thee out, and depart hence: for Herod
will kill Thee.
And He said unto them, Go ye,
and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and
tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk
today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet
perish out of
O Jerusalem,
Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me, until the time
come when ye shall say, Blessed is He That cometh in the name of the Lord.
And it came to pass, as He went
into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day,
that they watched Him.
And, behold, there was a certain
man before Him which had the dropsy.
And Yahshua answering spake unto
the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
And they held their peace. And
He took him, and healed him, and let him go; And answered them, saying, Which
of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway
pull him out on the sabbath day?
And they could not answer Him
again to these things.
And He put forth a parable to
those which were bidden, when He marked how they chose out the chief rooms;
saying unto them.
When thou art bidden of any one
to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable one than
thou be bidden of him;
And he that bade thee and him
come and say to thee, Give this one place; and thou begin with shame to take
the lowest room.
But when thou art bidden, go and
sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say
unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence
of them that sit at meat with thee.
For whosoever exalteth himself
shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Then said He also to him that
bade Him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy
brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee
again, and a recompence be made thee.
But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for
they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection
of the just.
And when one of them that sat at
meat with Him heard these things, he said unto Him, Blessed is he that shall
eat bread in the
Then said He unto him, A certain
man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to
say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
And they all with one consent
began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground,
and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have bought
five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have married
a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So that servant came, and shewed
his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his
servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in
hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it
is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
And the lord said unto the
servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that
my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of
those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
And there went great multitudes
with Him: and He turned, and said unto them, If any one come to Me, and hate
not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
And whosoever doth not bear his
stake, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.
For which of you, intending to
build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is
not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Saying, This one began to build,
and was not able to finish.
Or what king, going to make war
against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able
with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
So likewise, whosoever he be of
you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.
Salt is good: but if the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
It is neither fit for the land,
nor yet for the dunghill; but people cast it out. He that hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
Then drew near unto Him all the
publicans and sinners for to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured,
saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And He spake this parable unto
them, saying, What one of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness,
and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
And when he hath found it, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And when he cometh home, he
calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me;
for I have found my sheep which was lost.
I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety
and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Either what woman having ten
pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the
house, and seek diligently till she find it?
And when she hath found it, she
calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I
have found the piece which I had lost.
Likewise, I say unto you, there
is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
And He said, A certain man had
two sons: and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after the
younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and
there wasted his substance with riotous living.
And when he had spent all, there
arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself
to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat:
and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he
said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger!
I will arise and go to my
father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before
thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired
servants.
And he arose, and came to his
father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
And the son said unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy
to be called thy son.
But the father said to his
servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and
let us eat, and be merry:
For this my son was dead, and is
alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Now his elder son was in the
field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
And he said unto him, Thy
brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath
received him safe and sound.
And he was angry, and would not
go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
And he answering said to his
father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any
time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make
merry with my friends:
But as soon as this thy son was
come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the
fatted calf.
And he said unto him, Son, thou
art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
It was meet that we should make
merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was
lost, and is found.
And He said also unto His
disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was
accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
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.
Then the steward said within
himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I
cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
I am resolved what to do, that,
when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
So he called every one of his
lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my
lord?
And he said, An hundred measures
of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write
fifty.
Then said he to another, And how
much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto
him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
And the lord commended the
unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are in
their generation wiser than the sons of light.
And do I say unto you, Make to
yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they
may receive you into everlasting habitations?
He that is faithful in that
which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is
unjust also in much.
If therefore ye have not been
faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
riches?
And if ye have not been faithful
in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
No servant can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
And the Pharisees also, who were
covetous, heard all these things: and they derided Him.
And He said unto them, Ye are
they which justify yourselves before people; but God knoweth your hearts: for
that which is highly esteemed among people is abomination in the sight of God.
The law and the prophets were
until John: since that time the
And it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Whosoever putteth away his wife,
and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is
put away from her husband committeth adultery.
There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar
named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be
fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs
came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man
also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes,
being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his
finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember
that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil
things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us
and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence
to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Then he said, I pray thee
therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have
five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this
place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him, They
have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
And he said, Nay, father
Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one
rose from the dead.
Then said He unto the disciples,
It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom
they come!
It were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he
should offend one of these little ones.
Take heed to yourselves: If thy
brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And
if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn
again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
And the apostles said unto the
Lord, Increase our faith.
And the Lord said, If ye had
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou
plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
But which of you, having a
servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come
from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
And will not rather say unto
him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I
have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Doth he thank that servant because
he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
So likewise ye, when ye shall
have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable
servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
And it came to pass, as He went to
And as He entered into a certain
village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they
lifted up their voices, and said, Yahshua, Master, have mercy on us.
And when He saw them, He said
unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as
they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell
down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Yahshua answering said, Were
there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that
returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And He said unto him, Arise, go
thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
And when He was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the
Neither shall they say, Lo here!
or, lo there! for, behold, the
And He said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of
man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see
there: go not after them, nor follow them.
For as the lightening, that
lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under
heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day.
But first must He suffer many
things, and be rejected of this generation.
And as it was in the days of
Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted,
they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of
Even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed.
In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it
away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Remember
Whosoever shall seek to save his
life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
I tell you, in that night there
shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Two shall be grinding together;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[Two men shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.]
And they answered and said unto
Him, Where, Lord? And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will
the eagles be gathered together.
And He spake a parable unto them
to this end, that people ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Saying, There was in a city a
judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
And there was a widow in that
city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while:
but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual
coming she weary me.
And the Lord said, Hear what the
unjust judge saith.
And shall not God avenge His own
elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?
I tell you that He will avenge
them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on
the earth?
And He spake this parable unto
certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised
others:
Two men went up into the temple
to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
The Pharisee stood and prayed
thus with himself, God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other people are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
And the publican, standing afar
off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast,
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
I tell you, this man went down
to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
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?
And He answered and said unto
them, What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered to
write a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away.
And He answered and said unto
them, Have ye not read, that He Which made [them] at the beginning made them
male and female 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?
Wherefore they are no more twain,
but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
They say unto Him, Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
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.
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.
His disciples say unto Him, If
the case of the man be so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
But He said unto them, All
cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
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].
And in the house His disciples
asked Him again of the same [matter].
And He saith unto them,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her.
And if a woman shall put away
her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Matt. 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17
Then were there brought unto Him
infants and young children, that He should put [His] hands on them, and pray:
and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked those that brought [them].
But when Yahshua saw [it], He was
much displeased and called them unto Him and said, Suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the
And He took them up in His arms,
put [His] hands upon them, and blessed them and departed thence.
And the Jews' passover was nigh
at hand: and many went out of the country up to
Then sought they for Yahshua,
and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that He
will not come to the feast?
Now both the chief priests and
the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any one knew where He were, he
should shew [it], that they might take Him.
Matt. 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31, Luke 18:18-30
And, behold, when He was gone
forth into the way, there came a certain ruler running, and kneeled to Him, and
said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may inherit
eternal life?
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.
He saith unto Him, Which?
Yahshua said, Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, defraud not,
Honour thy father and [thy]
mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto Him,
Master, all these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Yahshua beholding him loved him
and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: 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, take up the stake, and follow Me.
But when the young man heard
that saying, he went away very sorrowful: for he had great possessions [and]
was very rich.
And when Yahshua saw that he was
very sorrowful, He looked round about and saith unto His disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the
And the disciples were
astonished at His words. But Yahshua
answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that
trust in riches to enter into the
Then Yahshua said unto His
disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
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
When His disciples heard [it],
they were exceedingly amazed, astonished out of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved?
But Yahshua beheld [them], and
said unto them, With men it is impossible; but not with God: for with God all
things are possible.
Then answered Peter and said
unto Him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Thee; what shall we have
therefore?
And Yahshua 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
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 and the gospel's sake and for the kingdom of God's
sake, shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and
sisters, and mothers, and children and lands, with persecutions; and in the
world to come shall inherit everlasting life.
But many [that are] first shall
be last; and the last [shall be] first.
For the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning
to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers
for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And he went out about the third
hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go
ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they
went their way.
Again he went out about the
sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
And about the eleventh hour he
went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye
here all the day idle?
They say unto him, Because no
one hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and
whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive.
So when even was come, the lord
of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them
[their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
And when they came that [were
hired] about the eleventh hour, they received each a penny.
But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received each a
penny.
And when they had received [it],
they murmured against the goodman of the house, saying, These last have wrought
[but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the
burden and heat of the day.
But he answered one of them, and
said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Take [that] thine [is], and go thy
way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
So the last shall be first, and
the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Matt. 20:17-19, Mark 10:32-34, Luke 18:31-34
And Yahshua going up to
And they shall scourge, and
crucify [Him]: and the third day He shall rise again. And they understood none
of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the
things which were spoken.
And James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, come unto Him, saying, Master, we would that Thou shouldest do for us
whatsoever we shall desire.
And He said unto them, What
would ye that I should do for you?
They said unto Him, Grant unto
us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and the other on Thy left hand, in
Thy glory.
Then came to Him the mother of
Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping [Him], and desiring a certain
thing of Him.
And He said unto her, What wilt
thou? She saith unto Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on Thy
right hand, and the other on the left, in Thy kingdom.
But Yahshua said unto them, Ye
know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I shall drink of? and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
And they said unto Him, We can.
And Yahshua said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of;
and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
But to sit on My right hand and
on My left hand is not Mine to give; but [it shall be given to those] for whom
it is prepared of My Father.
And when the ten heard [it],
they were moved with indignation against the two brethren James and John.
But Yahshua called them [unto
him], and said unto them, Ye know that the princes which are accounted to rule
over the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise
authority upon them.
But it shall not be so among
you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And
whosoever will be chief among you, let him be servant of all: Even as the Son
of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a
ransom for many.
And it came to pass, that as He
was come nigh unto
And hearing the multitude pass
by, he asked what it meant.
And they told him, that Yahshua
of Nazareth passeth by.
And he cried, saying, Yahshua,
Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him,
that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of
David, have mercy on me.
And Yahshua stood, and commanded
him to be brought unto Him: and when he was come near, He asked him, saying,
What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive
my sight.
And Yahshua said unto him,
Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
And immediately he received his
sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it,
gave praise unto God.
And they entered and passed
through
And, behold, there was a man
named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
And he sought to see Yahshua who
he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
And he ran before, and climbed
up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
And when Yahshua came to the
place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and
come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
And he made haste, and came
down, and received Him joyfully.
And when they saw it, they all
murmured, saying that he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
And Zacchaeus stood, and said
unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I
have taken any thing from any one by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
And Yahshua said unto him, This
day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was lost.
And as they heard these things,
He added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to
He said therefore, A certain
nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to
return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said
unto them, Occupy till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and
sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
And it came to pass, that when
he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants
to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how
much each had gained by trading.
Then came the first, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him, Well, thou
good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou
authority over ten cities.
And the second came, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
And he said likewise to him, Be
thou also over five cities.
And another came, saying, Lord,
behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared
thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not
down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of
thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was
an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou
my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with
usury?
And he said unto them that stood
by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord,
he hath ten pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto
every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he
hath shall be taken away from him.
But those mine enemies, which
would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
And when He had thus spoken, He
went before, ascending up to
And as He went out of
And when he heard that it was
Yahshua of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Yahshua, [Thou] son of
David, have mercy on me.
And many charged him that he
should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, [Thou] son of David,
have mercy on me.
And Yahshua stood still, and
commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of
good comfort, rise; He calleth thee.
And he, casting away his
garment, rose, and came to Yahshua.
And Yahshua answered and said
unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto
Him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
And Yahshua said unto him, Go
thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight,
and followed Yahshua in the way.
And as they departed from
And, behold, two blind men
sitting by the way side, when they heard that Yahshua
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [Thou] son of David.
And the multitude rebuked them,
because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, [Thou] son of David.
And Yahshua stood still, and
called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
They say unto Him, Lord, that
our eyes may be opened.
So Yahshua had compassion [on
them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight and
they followed Him.
And when they drew nigh unto
Saying unto them, Go into the
village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt
with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto Me.
And if any [one] say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send
them.
All this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of
Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a
colt the foal of an ass.
And the disciples went, and did
as Yahshua commanded them,
And brought the ass, and the
colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [Him] thereon.
And a very great multitude
spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and
strawed [them] in the way.
And the multitudes that went
before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed
[is] He That cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
And when they came nigh to
And saith unto them, Go your way
into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye
shall find a colt tied, whereon never one sat; loose him, and bring him hither.
And if any one say unto you, Why
do ye loose him? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will
send him hither.
And they went their way, and
found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met, even as
He had said unto them; and they loose him.
And certain of them that stood
there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
And they said unto them even as
Yahshua had commanded, The Lord hath need of him: and they let them go. And
they brought the colt to Yahshua, and cast their garments on him; and He sat
upon him.
And many spread their garments
in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed [them] in
the way.
And they that went before, and
they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed [is] He That cometh in the
name of the Lord: Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in
the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
And Yahshua entered into
Then Yahshua six days before the
passover came to
There they made Him a supper;
and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him.
Then took Mary a pound of
ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Yahshua, and wiped
His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Then saith one of His disciples,
Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], which should betray Him, 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.
Then said Yahshua, Let her
alone: against the day of My burying hath she kept this.
For the poor always ye have with
you; but Me ye have not always.
Much people of the Jews
therefore knew that He was there: and they came not for Yahshua's sake only, but
that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
But the chief priests consulted
that they might put Lazarus also to death; Because that by reason of him many
of the Jews went away, and believed on Yahshua.
And on the morrow, when they
were come from
And seeing a fig tree afar off
having leaves, He came, if haply He might find any thing thereon: and when He
came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].
And Yahshua answered and said
unto it, No one eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And His disciples heard
[it].
On the next day much people that
were come to the feast, when they heard that Yahshua was coming to Jerusalem,
took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna:
Blessed [is] the King of Israel That cometh in the name of the Lord.
And Yahshua, when He had found a
young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
"Fear not, daughter of
Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt".
These things understood not His
disciples at the first: but when Yahshua was glorified, then remembered they
that these things were written of Him, and [that] they had done these things
unto Him.
The people therefore that was
with Him when He called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead,
bare record.
For this cause the people also
met Him, for that they heard that He had done this miracle.
The Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone
after Him.
And when He was come nigh, even
now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples
began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that
they had seen;
Saying, Blessed be the King That
cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
And some of the Pharisees from
among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke Thy disciples.
And He answered and said unto
them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would
immediately cry out.
And when He was come near, He
beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at
least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are
hid from thine eyes.
For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee
round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground,
and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
And when He was come into
And the multitude said, This is
Yahshua the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Matt. 21:12-16, Mark 11:15-18, Luke 19:45-46
And they come to Jerusalem and
Yahshua went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought
in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of
them that sold doves, and would not suffer that any should carry [any] vessel
through the temple.
And He taught, saying unto them,
It is written, "My house shall be called of all nations the house of
prayer"; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
And the blind and the lame came
to Him in the temple; and He healed them.
And when the chief priests and
scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the
temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
And said unto Him, Hearest Thou
what these say? And Yahshua saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, "Out
of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise"?
And the scribes and chief
priests heard [it], and sought how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him,
because all the people was astonished at His doctrine.
And there were certain Greeks
among them that came up to worship at the feast:
The same came therefore to
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we
would see Yahshua.
Philip cometh and telleth
Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Yahshua.
And Yahshua answered them,
saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if
it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall
lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life
eternal.
If any one serve Me, let him
follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any one serve Me,
him will [My] Father honour.
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.
Father, glorify Thy name. Then
came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will
glorify [it] again.
The people therefore, that stood
by, and heard [it], said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to Him.
Yahshua answered and said, This
voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this
world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all unto Me.
This He said, signifying what
death he should die.
The people answered Him, We have
heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest Thou, The
Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
Then Yahshua said unto them, Yet
a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest
darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he
goeth.
While ye have light, believe in
the light, that ye may be the sons of light. These things spake Yahshua, and
departed, and did hide Himself from them.
But though He had done so many
miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him:
That the saying of Esaias the
prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report?
and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Therefore they could not
believe, because that Esaias said again,
He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor
understand with [their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
These things said Esaias, when
he saw His glory, and spake of Him.
Nevertheless among the chief
rulers also many believed on Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess [Him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of people more than
the praise of God.
Matt. 21:17-22, Mark 11:19-26, Luke 19:47-48
And He taught daily in the
temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people
sought to destroy Him,
And could not find what they
might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.
And when even was come, He left
them and went out of the city into
And in the morning, as they
passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
And Peter calling to remembrance
saith unto Him, Master, behold, the fig tree which Thou cursedst is withered
away.
And as He returned into the
city, He hungered. And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on
thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
And when the disciples saw [it],
they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, have faith in God. If ye have faith, and doubt
not, ye shall not only do this [which] is done to the fig tree, but whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, be ye removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith, it shall be done.
Therefore I say unto you, All
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye
shall have [them].
And when ye stand praying, forgive,
if ye have ought against any: that your Father also Which is in heaven may
forgive you your trespasses.
But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father Which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Matt. 21:23-27, Mark 11:27-33, Luke 20:1-8
And they come again to
Jerusalem: and it came to pass, that one of those days as He taught the people
in the temple and preached the gospel, as He was walking in the temple, the
chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people came unto Him as
He was teaching, and said, By what authority doest Thou these things? and who
is He That gave Thee this authority?
And Yahshua answered and said
unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye answer Me, I in like
wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
The baptism of John, whence was
it? from heaven, or of men? Answer
Me. And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say unto us, Why did ye not then
believe him?
But if we shall say, Of men, all
the people will stone us; we fear the people, for all hold John as a prophet
indeed.
And they answered Yahshua, and
said, We cannot tell whence it was. And He said unto them, Neither tell I you
by what authority I do these things.
But what think ye? A [certain]
man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
vineyard.
He answered and said, I will
not: but afterward he repented, and went.
And he came to the second, and
said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
Whether of them twain did the
will of [his] father? They say unto Him, The first.
Yahshua saith unto them, Verily
I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
For John came unto you in the
way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the
harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward,
that ye might believe him.
Matt. 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, Luke 20:9-19
Hear another parable: There was
a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and
digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and
went into a far country:
And when the time of the fruit
drew near, he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the
husbandman of the fruit of the vineyard. And the husbandmen caught [him], and
beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
And again he sent unto them
another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded [him] in the head,
and sent him away shamefully handled.
And again, he sent another; and
him they killed, and many others; beating some and killing some.
Having yet therefore one son,
his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them his son, saying, What will I
do? I will send my beloved son; they
will reverence him when they see him.
But when the husbandmen saw the
son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and
let us seize on his inheritance.
And they caught him, and killed
[him] and cast [him] out of the vineyard.
When the lord therefore of the
vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
They say unto Him, He will
miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other
husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
And when they heard it, they
said, God forbid.
And Yahshua beheld them and said
unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the
builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is Yahweh's
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes"?
Therefore say I unto you, The
And whosoever shall fall on this
stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to
powder.
And when the chief priests and
Pharisees had heard His parables, they perceived that He spake the parable
against them;
And the same hour they sought to
lay hands on Him, but they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a
prophet. And they left Him, and went
their way.
And Yahshua answered and spake
unto them again by parables, and said,
The kingdom of heaven is like
unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
And sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Again, he sent forth other servants,
saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen
and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the
marriage.
But they made light of [it], and
went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and
entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
But when the king heard
[thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city.
Then saith he to his servants,
The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Go ye therefore into the
highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
So those servants went out into
the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and
good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
And when the king came in to see
the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
And he saith unto him, Friend,
how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the
servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer
darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are called, but few
[are] chosen.
Matt. 22:15-22, Mark 12:13-17, Luke 20:20-26
Then went the Pharisees, and
took counsel how they might entangle Him in [His] talk, that so they might
deliver Him unto the power and authority of the governor.
And they sent out unto Him spies
which should feign themselves just men, their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that Thou art true, and teachest the way of God in
truth, neither carest Thou for any [one]: for Thou regardest not the person of
people.
Tell us therefore, What thinkest
Thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give?
But Yahshua, knowing their
hypocrisy, perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye Me, [ye]
hypocrites?
Bring Me a penny, shew Me the
tribute money. And they brought unto Him a penny.
And He saith unto them, Whose
[is] this image and superscription?
They say unto Him, Caesar's.
Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are
Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
When they had heard [this], they
could not take hold of His words before the people and they marvelled and held
their peace; and they left Him, and went their way.
Matt. 22:23-33, Mark 12:18-27, Luke 20:27-40
The same day came to Him the
Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked Him,
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto
us, "If a man's brother die, and leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave
no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother".
Now there were with us seven
brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, died, and having no issue,
left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also took her and died
childless, and the third likewise, unto the seventh.
And last of all the woman died
also.
Therefore in the resurrection,
when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had
her to wife.
Yahshua answered and said unto
them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. The sons of
this world marry, and are given in marriage: but they which shall be accounted
worthy to obtain that world, in the resurrection when they shall rise from the
dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, neither can they die any
more: but are as the angels of God in heaven; and are the sons of God, being
the sons of the resurrection.
But as touching the resurrection
of the dead, that the dead are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses,
how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,
"I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"? God is not the God of the
dead, but of the living, for all live unto Him: ye therefore do greatly err.
And when the multitude heard
[this], they were astonished at His doctrine.
Then certain of the scribes
answering said, Master, Thou has well said.
And after that they durst not ask Him any question at all.
But when the Pharisees had heard
that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Then one of them, [which was] a
lawyer, asked [Him a question], tempting Him, and saying, Master, which [is]
the great commandment in the law?
Yahshua said unto him,
"Thou shalt love Yahweh thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind".
This is the first and great
commandment.
And the second [is] like unto
it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself".
On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.
And one of the scribes came, and
having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that He had answered them
well, asked Him, Which is the first commandment of all?
And Yahshua answered him, The first
of all the commandments [is], "Hear, O Israel; Yahweh [is] our God, one is
Yahweh: and thou shalt love Yahweh thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength": this [is] the
first commandment.
And the second [is] like,
[namely] this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself". There is
none other commandment greater than these.
And the scribe said unto Him,
Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none
other but He: and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love
[his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices.
And when Yahshua saw that he
answered discreetly, He said unto him, Thou art not far from the
Matt. 22:41-46, Mark 12:35-37, Luke 20:41-44
While the Pharisees were
gathered together, Yahshua asked them,
Saying, What think ye of the
Christ? whose son is He? They say unto Him, [The son] of David.
And Yahshua answered and said,
while He taught in the temple, How say they that the Christ is the son of David?
For David himself doth by the
Holy Spirit call Him Lord, saying, "Yahweh said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My
right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool".
If David therefore himself
calleth Him Lord, how is He [then] his son?
And no one was able to answer
Him a word, neither durst any [one] from that day forth ask Him any more
[questions]; and the common people heard Him gladly.
Yahshua cried and said, He that
believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him That sent Me. And he that
seeth Me seeth Him That sent Me.
I am come a light into the
world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness.
And if any one hear My words,
and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to
save the world.
He that rejecteth Me, and
receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of Myself;
but the Father Which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and
what I should speak.
And I know that His commandment
is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto
Me, so I speak.
Matt. 23:1-39, Mark 12:38-40, Luke 20:45-47
Then spake Yahshua to the
multitude, and to His disciples,
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees
sit in Moses' seat:
All therefore whatsoever they
bid you observe, observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say,
and do not.
For they bind heavy burdens and
grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on people's shoulders; but they
[themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.
And He said unto them in His
doctrine, Beware of the scribes; all their works they do for to be seen of
people. They love to go in long robes,
make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Which devour widows' houses, and
for a pretence make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
They love the uppermost rooms at
feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the
marketplaces, and to be called of people, Rabbi, Rabbi; But be not ye called
Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] the Christ; and all ye are brethren.
And call no [man] your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, Which is in heaven.
Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, [even] the Christ.
But he that is greatest among
you shall be your servant.
And whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
But woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against people: for
ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in.
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.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and
when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Woe unto you, [ye] blind guides,
which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever
shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
[Ye] fools and blind: for
whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
And, Whosoever shall swear by
the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it,
he is guilty.
[Ye] fools and blind: for
whether [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Whoso therefore shall swear by
the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
And whoso shall swear by the
temple, sweareth by it, and by Him That dwelleth therein.
And he that shall swear by
heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him That sitteth thereon.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these
ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
[Ye] blind guides, which strain
at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
[Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse
first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may
be clean also.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all
uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear
righteous unto people, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish
the sepulchres of the righteous,
And say, If we had been in the
days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of
the prophets.
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto
yourselves, that ye are the sons of them which killed the prophets.
Fill ye up then the measure of
your fathers.
[Ye] serpents, [ye] generation
of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Wherefore, behold, I send unto
you prophets, and wise ones, 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:
That upon you may come all the
righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the
blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the
altar.
Verily I say unto you, All these
things shall come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou]
that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not
see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] He That cometh in the name
of the Lord.
And Yahshua sat over against the
treasury, and He looked up and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury:
and many that were rich cast in much.
And there came a certain poor
widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
And He called [unto Him] His
disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow
hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
For all [they] did cast in unto
the offerings of God of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all
that she had, [even] all her living.
Matt. 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:5-6
And Yahshua went out, and
departed from the temple: and His disciples came to [Him] for to shew Him the
buildings of the temple.
And as He went out of the
temple, one of His disciples saith unto Him of the temple, how it was adorned
with goodly stones and gifts, Master, see what manner of stones and what
buildings [are here]!
And Yahshua said unto them, See
ye not all these great buildings? verily I say unto you, The days will come, in
which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
And they asked Him, saying,
Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these
things shall come to pass?
And He said, Take heed that ye
be not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying, I am the Christ; and
the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
But when ye shall hear of wars
and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but
the end is not by and by.
Then said He unto them, Nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes
shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heaven.
But before all these, they shall
lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues,
and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.
And it shall turn to you for a
testimony.
Settle it therefore in your
hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a
mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor
resist.
And ye shall be betrayed both by
parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they
cause to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all
people for My name's sake.
But there shall not an hair of
your head perish.
In your patience possess ye your
souls.
And when ye shall see
Then let them which are in
For these be the days of
vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
But woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great
distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
And they shall fall by the edge
of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
People's hearts failing them for
fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son
of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to
come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth
nigh.
And He spake to them a parable;
Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and
know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see
these things come to pass, know ye that the
Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass
away: but My words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on
all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray
always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall
come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Matt. 24:3-25:46, Mark 13:3-37
And as He sat upon the mount of
Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew came unto
Him privately, and asked him, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
[shall be] the sign of Thy coming, when all these things shall be fulfilled,
and of the end of the world?
And Yahshua answered and said
unto them, Take heed that no one deceive you.
For many shall come in My name,
saying, I am the Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come
to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and troubles, and earthquakes in divers places.
All these [are] the beginning of
sorrows.
But take heed to yourselves: for
they shall deliver you up to councils to be afflicted, and in the synagogues ye
shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake,
for a testimony against them, and they shall kill you and ye shall be hated of
all nations for My name's sake.
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 Spirit.
And then shall many be offended,
and shall hate one another, and the brother shall betray the brother, and the
father the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall
cause them to be put to death.
And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place where it ought not, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let them which be in
Let him which is on the housetop
not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in
the field return back to take his clothes.
And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the creation which God
created unto this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He
hath chosen, those days shall be shortened.
Then if any one shall say unto
you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Take ye heed: behold, I have
told you before all these things.
Wherefore if they shall say unto
you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [He is] in the secret
chambers; believe [it] not.
For as the lightening cometh out
of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall the coming of the Son of
man be.
For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great
power and great glory.
And then He shall send His
angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His
elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the
uttermost part of heaven, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig
tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that
summer [is] nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth
no [one], no, not the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
Take ye heed, watch and pray:
for ye know not when the time is.
[For the Son of man is] as a man
taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants,
and to every one his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know
not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the
cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
And what I say unto you I say
unto all, Watch.
But as the days of Noe [were],
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were
before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two [women shall be] grinding at
the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Watch therefore: for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the
goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would
have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for
in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in
due season?
Blessed [is] that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods.
But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite
[his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not
aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and
five [were] foolish.
They that [were] foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry
made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying,
[Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and
the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily
I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
For [the kingdom of heaven is]
as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and
delivered unto them his goods.
And unto one he gave five
talents, to another two, and to another one; to each man according to his
several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Then he that had received the
five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
And so he that had received five
talents came and brought other five talents,
saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more.
His lord said unto him, Well
done, [thou] good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy
lord.
He also that had received two
talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I
have gained two other talents beside them.
His lord said unto him, Well
done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had received the
one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping
where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
And I was afraid, and went and
hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
His lord answered and said unto
him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed
not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put
my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine
own with usury.
Take therefore the talent from
him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath
shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be
taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
When the Son of man shall come
in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the
throne of His glory:
And before Him shall be gathered
all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth [his] sheep from the goats: And He shall set the sheep on His right
hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto
them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye
gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took Me in: Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto Me.
Then shall the righteous answer
Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed [Thee]? or thirsty, and
gave [Thee] drink?
When saw we Thee a stranger, and
took [Thee] in? or naked, and clothed [Thee]? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto Thee?
And the King shall answer and
say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of
the least of these My brethren, ye have done [it] unto Me.
Then shall He say also unto them
on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye
gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in:
naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
Then shall they also answer Him,
saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked,
or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee?
Then shall He answer them,
saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least
of these, ye did [it] not to Me.
And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
And in the day time He was
teaching in the temple; and at night He went out, and abode in the mount that
is called the mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to
Him in the temple, for to hear Him.
Matt. 26:1-5, Mark 14:1-2, Luke 22:1-2
Now after two days was [the
feast of] the passover, and of unleavened bread, which is [also] called the
passover.
And it came to pass, when
Yahshua had finished all these sayings, He said unto His disciples, Ye know
that after two days is [the feast of] the Passover, and the Son of man is
betrayed to be crucified.
Then assembled together the
chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace
of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
And consulted that they might
take Yahshua by subtilty and craft, and kill [Him], for they feared the people.
But they said, Not on the feast
[day], lest there be an uproar among the people.
Now when Yahshua was in Bethany,
in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came unto Him a woman
having an alabaster box of very precious ointment of spikenard, and she brake
the box and poured it on His head.
But when His disciples saw [it],
there were some that had indignation within themselves, saying, To what purpose
[is] this waste of the ointment made?
For it might have been sold for
more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they
murmured against her.
When Yahshua understood [it], He
said unto them, Let her alone; why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a
good work upon Me.
For ye have the poor always with
you; and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but Me ye have not always.
For in that she hath poured this
ointment on My body, she hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to
anoint My body for My burial.
Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, [there]
shall also this, that this woman hath done, be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Matt. 26:14-16, Mark 14:10-11, Luke 22:3-6
Then entered Satan into one of
the twelve, Judas surnamed Iscariot, and he went his way and communed with the
chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him unto them,
And said [unto them], What will
ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you? And when they heard [it], they
were glad, and they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
And he promised, and from that
time he sought how he might conveniently betray Him unto them in the absence of
the multitude.
Matt. 26:17-19, Mark 14:12-16, Luke 22:7-13
Now the first day of the [feast
of] unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, the disciples came to
Yahshua, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we go and prepare for Thee to
eat the passover?
And He sendeth forth two of His
disciples, Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may
eat. And they said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare? And He saith unto them, Go ye into the city,
and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water and follow him into
the house where he entereth in and say ye to the goodman of the house, The
Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with My
disciples; Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with My
disciples?
And he will shew you a large
upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us.
And His disciples went forth,
and came into the city, and found as He had said unto them: and they made ready
the passover.
Now before the feast of the
passover, when Yahshua knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of
this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He
loved them unto the end.
Now when even was come, He sat
down with the twelve. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray Him;
Yahshua knowing that the Father
had given all things into His hands, and that He was come from God, and went to
God;
He riseth from supper, and laid
aside His garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself.
After that He poureth water into
a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the
towel wherewith He was girded.
Then cometh He to Simon Peter:
and Peter saith unto Him, Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?
Yahshua answered and said unto
him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt
never wash my feet. Yahshua answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part
with Me.
Simon Peter saith unto Him,
Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head.
Yahshua saith to him, He that is
washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are
clean, but not all.
For He knew who should betray
Him; therefore said He, Ye are not all clean.
So after He had washed their
feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down again, He said unto them,
Know ye what I have done to you?
Ye call Me Master and Lord: and
ye say well; for [so] I am.
If I then, [your] Lord and
Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I
have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than
he that sent him.
If ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them.
I speak not of you all: I know
whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, "He that
eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me."
Now I tell you before it come,
that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me
receiveth Him That sent Me.
When Yahshua had thus said, He
was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, that one of you shall betray Me.
Then the disciples looked one on
another, doubting of whom He spake.
Matt. 26:21-25, Mark 14:17-21, Luke 22:14
And when the hour was come, He
sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.
And as they sat and did eat,
Yahshua said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you which eateth with Me shall
betray Me.
And they began to be exceeding
sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto Him one by one, Lord, is it
I?, and another [said, Is] it I?
And He answered and said, [It
is] one of the twelve, that dippeth [his] hand with Me in the dish: the same
shall betray Me.
The Son of man indeed goeth as
it is written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!
it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Then Judas, which betrayed Him,
answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Matt. 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:15-20
And He said unto them, With
desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
For I say unto you, I will not
any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the
And He took the cup, and gave
thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto
you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the
And as they were eating, Yahshua
took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples,
and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is given for you: this do in
remembrance of Me.
And He took the cup after
supper, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; and
they all drank of it.
And He said unto them, This cup
is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of
sins.
Verily I say unto you, I will
not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it
new with you in My Father's kingdom.
But, behold, the hand of him
that betrayeth Me is with Me on the table.
And truly the Son of man goeth,
as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom He is betrayed!
And they began to enquire among
themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
And there was also a strife
among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
And He said unto them, The kings
of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority
upon them are called benefactors.
But ye shall not be so: but he
that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as
he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Ye are they which have continued
with Me in My temptations.
And I appoint unto you a
kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me; That ye may eat and drink at My
table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Now there was leaning on
Yahshua's bosom one of His disciples, whom Yahshua loved.
Simon Peter therefore beckoned
to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom He spake [that should
betray Him].
He then lying on Yahshua's breast saith unto Him, Lord, who is it?
Yahshua answered, He it is, to
whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And when He had dipped the
sop, He gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
And after the sop Satan entered
into him. Then said Yahshua unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
Now no one at the table knew for
what intent He spake this unto him.
For some [of them] thought,
because Judas had the bag, that Yahshua had said unto him, Buy [those things]
that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to
the poor.
He then having received the sop
went immediately out: and it was night.
Therefore, when he was gone out,
Yahshua said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If
God be glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall
straightway glorify Him.
Little children, yet a little
while I am with you. Ye shall seek Me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I
go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another.
By this shall all know that ye
are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Simon Peter said unto Him, Lord,
whither goest Thou? Yahshua answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow
Me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.
Peter said unto Him, Lord, why
cannot I follow Thee now? I will lay down my life for Thy sake.
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon,
behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I
have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren.
And he said unto Him, Lord, I am
ready to go with Thee, both into prison, and to death.
And Yahshua said, Wilt thou lay
down thy life for my sake? Verily,
verily,I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou
shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me.
And He said unto them, When I
sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they
said, Nothing.
Then said He unto them, But now,
he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath
no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
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.
And they said, Lord, behold,
here are two swords. And He said unto them, It is enough.
Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many
mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you.
And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am,
[there] ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and
the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we
know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Yahshua saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
If ye had known Me, ye should
have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.
Philip saith unto Him, Lord,
shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Yahshua saith unto him, Have I
been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that
hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the
Father?
Believest thou not that I am in
the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not
of Myself: but the Father That dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.
Believe Me that I [am] in the
Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
[works] than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in
My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye
shall ask any thing in My name, I will do [it].
If ye love Me, keep My
commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another
Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever;
[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye
know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you.
Yet a little while, and the
world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also.
At that day ye shall know that I
[am] in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.
He that hath My commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved
of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.
Judas saith unto Him, not
Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto
the world?
Yahshua answered and said unto
him, If any one love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him,
and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
He that loveth Me not keepeth
not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's Which
sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
But the Comforter, [which is]
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, that one shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you.
Peace I leave with you, My peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Ye have heard how I said unto
you, I go away, and am coming unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice,
because I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.
And now I have told you before
it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Hereafter I will not talk much
with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me.
But that the world may know that
I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise,
let us go hence.
Matt. 26:30, Mark 14:26, Luke 22:39
And when they had sung an hymn,
He came out, and went, as He was wont, to the mount of Olives; and His
disciples also followed Him.
[And Yahshua said], I am the
true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in Me that beareth
not fruit He taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, He purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you.
Abide in Me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
can ye, except ye abide in Me.
I am the vine, ye [are] the
branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
If one abides not in Me, he is
cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast [them]
into the fire, and they are burned.
If ye abide in Me, and My words
abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is My Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.
As the Father hath loved Me, so
have I loved you: continue ye in My love.
If ye keep My commandments, ye
shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide
in His love.
These things have I spoken unto
you, that My joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
This is My commandment, That ye
love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no one than
this, that one lay down his life for his friends. Ye are My friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard
of My Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen Me, but I
have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
[that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in
My name, He may give it you.
These things I command you, that
ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know
that it hated Me before [it hated] you.
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.
Remember the word that I said
unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me,
they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours
also.
But all these things will they
do unto you for My name's sake, because they know not Him That sent Me.
If I had not come and spoken
unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
He that hateth Me hateth My
Father also.
If I had not done among them the
works which no one else did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen
and hated both Me and My Father.
But [this cometh to pass], that
the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, "They hated me
without a cause".
But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, that one shall testify of Me: And ye also shall
bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.
These things have I spoken unto
you, that ye should not be offended.
They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doeth God service.
And these things will they do
because they have not known the Father, nor Me.
But these things have I told
you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.
And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
But now I go My way to Him That
sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, Whither goest Thou?
But because I have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Nevertheless I tell you the
truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the
Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, that one
will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not
on Me;
Of righteousness, because I go
to My Father, and ye see Me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince
of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say
unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when that one, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not
speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify Me: for he
shall receive of Mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
All things that the Father hath
are Mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of Mine, and shall shew [it]
unto you.
A little while, and ye shall not
see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father.
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.
Now Yahshua knew that they were
desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall
not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me?
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
A woman when she is in travail
hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the
child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a being is born into
the world.
And ye now therefore have
sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no
one taketh from you.
And in that day ye shall ask Me
nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in
My name, He will give [it] you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing
in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
These things have I spoken unto
you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in
proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
At that day ye shall ask in My
name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the
Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I
came out from God.
I came forth from the Father,
and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
His disciples said, Lo, now
speakest Thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Now are we sure that Thou
knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask Thee: by this we
believe that Thou camest forth from God.
Yahshua answered them, Do ye now
believe?
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is
come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave Me alone:
and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
These things I have spoken unto
you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
These words spake Yahshua, and
lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy
Son, that Thy Son may glorify Thee:
As Thou hast given Him power
over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given
Him.
And this is life eternal, that
they might know Thee the only true God, and Yahshua the Christ, Whom Thou hast
sent.
I have glorified Thee on the
earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.
And now, O Father, glorify Thou
Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world
was.
I have revealed Thy name unto
the ones which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou
gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word.
Now they have known that all
things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee.
For I have given unto them the
words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received [them], and have known
surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send
Me.
I pray for them: I pray not for
the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine.
And all Mine are Thine, and
Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them.
And now I am no more in the
world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, protect
them through Thine own name which Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as
We [are].
While I was with them, I
protected them in Thy name that Thou gavest Me. None of them is lost but the
son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
And now come I to Thee; and
these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in
themselves.
I have given them Thy word; and
the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world.
I pray not that Thou shouldest
take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them through Thy truth:
Thy word is truth.
As Thou hast sent Me into the
world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
And for their sakes I sanctify
Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Neither pray I for these alone,
but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word;
That they all may be one; as
Thou, Father, [art] in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that
the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
And the glory which Thou gavest
Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one:
I in them, and Thou in Me, that
they may be made perfect in one; that the world may know that Thou hast sent
Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.
Father, I will that they also,
whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory,
which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the
world.
O righteous Father, the world
hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast
sent Me.
And I have declared unto them
Thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may
be in them, and I in them.
Then saith Yahshua unto them,
All ye shall be offended because of Me this night: for it is written, "I
will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered
abroad".
But after I am risen again, I
will go before you into
Peter answered and said unto
Him, Though all shall be offended because of Thee, [yet] will I never be
offended.
Yahshua said unto him, Verily I
say unto thee, That this day, [even] in this night, before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny Me thrice.
Peter spake unto Him the more
vehemently, Though I should die with Thee, yet will I not deny Thee in any
wise. Likewise also said all the disciples.
And when He was at the place, He
said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
And He was withdrawn from them
about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if Thou be
willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.
And there appeared an angel unto
Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
And being in an agony He prayed
more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down
to the ground.
And when He rose up from prayer,
and was come to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow,
And said unto them, Why sleep
ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Matt. 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, John 18:1
When Yahshua had spoken these
words, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a
garden called
Then He saith unto the
disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
And He took with Him Peter and
James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very
heavy.
Then saith He unto them, My soul
is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me.
And He went forward a little
farther, and fell on His face on the ground, and
prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
And He said, saying, O Abba, My
Father, all things are possible unto Thee; if it be possible, let this cup pass
from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou [wilt].
And He cometh unto the
disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, Simon, sleepest
thou? could ye not watch with Me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter
not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
He went away again the second
time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me,
except I drink it, Thy will be done.
And He came and found them
asleep again: for their eyes were heavy, neither wist they what to answer Him.
And He left them, and went away
again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Then cometh He to His disciples,
and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: it is enough, behold,
the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going: behold,
he is at hand that doth betray Me.
Matt. 26:47-50, Mark 14:43-46, Luke 22:47-48, John 18:2-9
And Judas also, which betrayed
Him, knew the place: for Yahshua ofttimes resorted thither with His disciples.
And immediately, while He yet
spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, having received a band [of men] and
officers from the chief priests and the scribes and Pharisees and elders of the
people, cometh thither with lanterns and torches, and swords and staves.
Now he that betrayed Him gave
them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is He: take Him, hold
Him fast, and lead [Him] away safely.
And as soon as He was come, he
goeth straightway to Him to kiss Him, and saith, Hail, Master;
But Yahshua said unto him,
Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? and Judas kissed Him.
And Yahshua said unto him,
Friend, wherefore art thou come?
Yahshua therefore, knowing all
things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
They answered Him, Yahshua of
Nazareth. Yahshua saith unto them, I am [He]. And Judas also, which betrayed
Him, stood with them.
As soon then as He had said unto
them, I am [He], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Then asked He them again, Whom
seek ye? And they said, Yahshua of Nazareth.
Yahshua answered, I have told
you that I am [He]: if therefore ye seek Me, let these go their way:
That the saying might be
fulfilled, which He spake, Of them which Thou gavest Me have I lost none.
Then came they, and laid their
hands on Yahshua, and took Him.
Matt. 26:51-54, Mark 14:47, Luke 22:49-51, John 18:10-11
When they which were about Him
saw what would follow, they said unto Him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
And, behold, Simon Peter, which
stood by Yahshua, stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a
servant of the high priest's, and smote off his right ear. The servant's name
was Malchus.
Then said Yahshua unto Peter,
Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall
perish with the sword: the cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink
it?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of
angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
And Yahshua answered and said,
Suffer ye thus far. And He touched his ear, and healed him.
Matt. 26:55-56, Mark 14:48-52, Luke 22:52-53
In that same hour said Yahshua
to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were
come to Him, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to
take Me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on
Me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
But all this was done, that the
scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook
Him, and fled.
And there followed Him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth cast about [his] naked [body]; and the young
men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Matt. 26:57, Mark 14:53, Luke 22:54, John 18:12-14
Then the band and the captain
and officers of the Jews took Yahshua, and bound Him, and led Him away into
Caiaphas the high priest's house, and with him were assembled all the chief
priests and the elders and the scribes.
[But they] led Him away to Annas
first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that
same year.
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave
counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the
people.
Matt. 26:58, Mark 14:54, Luke 22:54-57, John 18:15-18
And Simon Peter followed
Yahshua, and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high
priest, and went in with Yahshua into the palace of the high priest.
But Peter stood at the door
without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high
priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter into the
high priest's palace.
And when they had kindled a fire
in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Then saith the damsel that kept
the door beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and
said, This man was also with Him. And [she] said unto Peter, Art not thou also
[one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. And he denied Him, saying,
Woman, I know Him not.
And the servants and officers
stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed
themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
The high priest then asked
Yahshua of His disciples, and of His doctrine.
Yahshua answered him, I spake
openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither
the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou Me?
ask them which heard Me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I
said.
And when He had thus spoken, one
of the officers which stood by struck Yahshua with the palm of his hand,
saying, Answerest Thou the high priest so?
Yahshua answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou Me?
Now Annas had sent Him bound
unto Caiaphas the high priest.
And Simon Peter stood and warmed
himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of His
disciples?; and after a little while another saw Peter, and said, Thou art also
of them. And Peter denied [it] and said,
Man, I am not.
And about the space of one hour
after one of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman whose ear
Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him? and he
confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with Him: for he
is a Galilaean.
And Peter said, Man, I know not
what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
And the Lord turned, and looked
upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto
him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.
And Peter went out, and wept
bitterly.
Now the chief priests, and
elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Yahshua, to put Him
to death;
But found none: for many bare
false witness against Him, but their witness agreed not together. And there arose certain, and bare false
witness against Him, saying, We heard Him say, I will destroy this temple that
is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without
hands.
But neither so did their witness
agree together.
At the last came two false
witnesses and said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
Matt. 26:62-68, Mark 14:60-65, Luke 22:63-65
And the high priest arose and stood up in the midst, and asked Yahshua, saying, Answerest Thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against Thee?
But Yahshua held His peace, and
answered nothing. And the high priest answered and said unto Him, I adjure Thee
by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Again the high priest asked Him,
and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Yahshua saith unto him, Thou
hast said [and] I am: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the
Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.
Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of further
witnesses? behold, now ye have heard His blasphemy. What think ye?
They answered and said, He is
guilty of death. And they all condemned Him to be guilty of death.
Then some [of] the men that held
Yahshua mocked Him and began to spit in His face, and buffeted Him, and
blindfolded and covered His face; and others smote [Him] on the face with the
palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy, Thou Christ, who is he that smote Thee?
and the servants did strike Him with the palms of their hands.
And many other things
blasphemously spake they against Him.
Now Peter sat without beneath
the palace: and there came one of the maids of the high priest. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she
looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Yahshua of Nazareth,
But he denied before [them] all,
saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into
the porch; and the cock crew.
And when he was gone out into
the porch, another [maid] saw him, and said unto them that stood by there, This
[fellow] is [one] of them, [he] was also with Yahshua of Nazareth.
And again he denied with an
oath, I do not know the man.
And after a while came unto
[him] they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of
them; for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth [thereto] and bewrayeth
thee.
Then began he to curse and to
swear, [saying], I know not the man of Whom ye speak. And immediately the cock
crew the second time. And Peter
remembered the word of Yahshua, which said unto him, Before the cock crow
twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he went out, and
wept bitterly.
And as soon as it was day, the
elders of the people and both chief priests and scribes came together, and led
Him into their council, saying, Art Thou the Christ? tell us. And He said unto
them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
And if I also ask you, ye will
not answer Me, nor let Me go.
Hereafter shall the Son of man
sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Then said they all, Art Thou
then the Son of God? And He said unto them, Ye say that I am.
And they said, What need we any
further witness? for we ourselves have heard of His own mouth.
Matt. 27:1-2, Mark 15:1, Luke 23:1-5, John 18:28-32
And straightway in the morning
the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council against Yahshua to put Him to death: and bound Yahshua, and led Yahshua
away from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment and delivered [Him] to Pontius
Pilate the governor.
And it was early; and they
themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but
that they might eat the passover.
Pilate then went out unto them,
and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
They answered and said unto him,
If He were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered Him up unto thee. And
they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He Himself is the Christ,
a King.
Then said Pilate unto them, Take
ye Him, and judge Him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him,
It is not lawful for us to put any one to death:
That the saying of Yahshua might
be fulfilled, which He spake, signifying what death He should die.
And Pilate asked Him, saying,
Art Thou the King of the Jews? And He answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
Then said Pilate to the chief priests
and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
And they were the more fierce,
saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning
from
When Pilate heard of
And when Herod saw Yahshua, he
was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see Him of a long season, because he
had heard many things of Him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by
Him.
Then he questioned with Him in
many words; but He answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes
stood and vehemently accused Him.
And Herod with his men of war
set Him at nought, and mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent
Him again to Pilate.
And the same day Pilate and
Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between
themselves.
Then Judas, which had betrayed
Him, when he saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Saying, I have sinned in that I
have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou
[to that].
And he cast down the pieces of
silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
And the chief priests took the
silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury,
because it is the price of blood.
And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
Wherefore that field was called,
The field of blood, unto this day.
Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of
silver, the price of Him That was valued, Whom they of the sons of
And gave them for the potter's
field, as the Lord appointed me.
And Yahshua stood before the governor:
and Pilate asked Him, saying, Art Thou the King of the Jews? And Yahshua said
unto him, Thou sayest.
And when He was accused of the
chief priests and elders of many things, He answered nothing.
And Pilate asked Him again,
saying, Answerest Thou nothing? hearest Thou not how many things they witness
against Thee?
But Yahshua yet answered him
never a word; insomuch that Pilate marvelled greatly.
Matt. 27:15-18, Mark 15:6-10, Luke 23:13-22, John 18:33-40
Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called Yahshua, and said unto Him, Art Thou the King
of the Jews?
Yahshua answered him, Sayest
thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee unto me: what hast
Thou done?
Yahshua answered, My kingdom is
not of this world: if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants
fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is My kingdom not
from hence.
Pilate therefore said unto Him,
Art Thou a king then? Yahshua 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 when he had called together
the chief priests and the rulers and the people, [he] said unto them, Ye have
brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I,
having examined Him before you, have found no fault [at all] in this man
touching those things whereof ye accuse Him: No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you
to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
I will therefore chastise Him,
and release Him. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
Now at [that] feast the governor
was wont to release unto the people one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
And there was [one] notable
prisoner named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made insurrection
with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
And the multitude crying aloud
began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them. Therefore when they
were gathered together, Pilate answered them, saying, Ye have a custom, that I
should release unto you one at the passover: Whom will ye that I release unto
you? Barabbas, or Yahshua Which is called the Christ, the King of the Jews?
For he knew that for envy the
chief priests had delivered Him.
And they cried out all at once,
saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (who for a certain
sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
Pilate therefore, willing to
release Yahshua, spake again to them. Then cried they all again, saying, Not
this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber, but they cried, saying,
Crucify Him, crucify Him.
And he said unto them the third
time, Why, what evil hath He done? I have found no cause of death in Him: I
will therefore chastise Him, and let Him go.
Then Pilate therefore took
Yahshua, and scourged [Him].
And the soldiers platted a crown
of thorns, and put [it] on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe, and
said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote Him with their hands.
Pilate went forth again, and
saith unto them, Behold, I bring Him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
no fault in Him.
Then came Yahshua forth, wearing
the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold
the man!
When the chief priests therefore
and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [Him], crucify [Him].
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye Him, and crucify [Him]: for I find no fault in
Him.
The Jews answered him, We have a
law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.
When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he was the more afraid;
And went again into the judgment
hall, and saith unto Yahshua, Whence art Thou? But Yahshua gave him no answer.
Then saith Pilate unto Him,
Speakest Thou not unto me? knowest Thou not that I have power to crucify Thee,
and have power to release Thee?
Yahshua 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.
And from thenceforth Pilate
sought to release Him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go,
thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against
Caesar.
When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he brought Yahshua forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place
that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
And it was the preparation of
the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your
King!
But they cried out, Away with
[Him], away with [Him], crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify
your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
When he was set down on the
judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with
that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of
Him.
But the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they should ask that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them, and destroy Yahshua.
The governor answered and said
again unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They
said, Barabbas.
Pilate saith unto them, What
will ye then that shall I do then with Yahshua Which is called the Christ, the
King of the Jews? [They] all they cried out again, Crucify Him.
And the governor said, Why, what
evil hath He done? But they cried out the more exceedingly, saying, Let Him be
crucified.
Matt 27:24-26, Mark 15:15, Luke 23:23-25, John 19:16
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that He might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing,
but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands
Then answered all the People,
and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
And Pilate, willing to content
the people, gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Then released he unto them
Barabbas that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had
desired: and when he had scourged Yahshua, he delivered [Him] therefore unto their will to be crucified. And they took Yahshua, and
led [Him] away.
Then the soldiers of the
governor took Yahshua into the common hall, called Praetorium; and gathered
unto Him the whole band. And they stripped Him and clothed Him with purple and
put on Him a scarlet robe.
And when they had platted a
crown of thorns, they put [it] upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and
they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, and began to salute Him,
saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
And they spit upon Him, and took
the reed, and smote Him on the head, and bowing [their] knees worshipped Him.
And after that they had mocked
Him, they took the purple and the robe off from Him, and put His own raiment on
Him, and led Him away to crucify [Him].
Matt. 27:32, Mark 15:21-23, Luke 23:26, John 19:17
And as they came out and led Him
away, He bearing His stake, they found a man of
And they bring Him unto the
place which is called in the Hebrew,
And they gave Him to drink wine
mingled with myrrh: but He received [it] not.
And there followed Him a great
company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him.
But Yahshua turning unto them
said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for
your children.
For, behold, the days are
coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that
never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Then shall they begin to say to
the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
For if they do these things in a
green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
And there were also two other,
malefactors, led with Him to be put to death.
And when they were come unto a
place called
They gave Him vinegar to drink
mingled with gall: and when He had tasted [thereof], He would not drink.
Matt. 27:35-37, Mark 15:24-26, Luke 23:33-38, John 19:18-24
And when they were come to the
place, which is called
Then said Yahshua, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And Pilate wrote a title, and
put [it] on the stake. And the writing was, YAHSHUA OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE
JEWS.
This title then read many of the
Jews: for the place where Yahshua was crucified was nigh to the city: and it
was written in Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin.
Then said the chief priests of
the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that He said, I am
King of the Jews.
Pilate answered, What I have
written I have written.
And it was the third hour [when]
they crucified Him. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yahshua, took
His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [His]
coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore among
themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; and
[they] parted His garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
These things therefore the soldiers did, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture
did they cast lots. And sitting down they watched Him there;
And the people stood beholding.
And the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others; let Him
save Himself, if He be the Christ, the chosen of God.
And the soldiers also mocked
Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, and saying, If Thou be the king
of the Jews, save Thyself.
And set up over His head the
superscription of His accusation written in letters of Greek, and Latin, and
Hebrew, THIS IS YAHSHUA THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Then were there two thieves
crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
And the scripture was fulfilled,
which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors".
And they that passed by reviled
Him, wagging their heads,
And saying, Ah, Thou that
destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save Thyself. If Thou
be the Son of God, come down from the stake.
Likewise also the chief priests
mocking [Him], with the scribes and elders, said among themselves, He saved
others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the Christ, the King of Israel, let
Him now come down from the stake, that we may see and we will believe Him.
He trusted in God; let Him
deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He said, I am the Son of God.
The thieves also, which were
crucified with Him, reviled Him.
And one of the malefactors which
were hanged railed on Him, saying, If Thou be the Christ, save Thyself and us.
But the other answering rebuked
him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man
hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Yahshua, Lord,
remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.
And Yahshua said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with Me in paradise.
Matt. 27:45-47, Mark 15:33-35, Luke 23:44
Now from the sixth hour there
was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
And about the ninth hour Yahshua
cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, being
interpreted, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
Some of them that stood there,
when they heard [that], said, Behold, this [man] calleth for Elias.
And straightway one of them ran,
and took a spunge, and filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and
gave Him to drink.
The rest said, Let alone, let us see whether Elias will come to take
Him down and save Him.
Now there stood by the stake of
Yahshua His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and
Mary Magdalene.
When Yahshua therefore saw His
mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He saith unto His mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Then saith He to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own
[home].
After this, Yahshua knowing that
all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith,
I thirst.
There was set a vessel full of
vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and
put [it] to His mouth.
Matt. 27:50-51, Mark 15:37-38, Luke 23:45-46, John 19:30
When Yahshua therefore had
received the vinegar, he cried again with a loud voice and said, Father, into
Thy hands I commend My spirit. [Then] He said, It is finished: and He bowed His
head, and gave up the spirit.
And, behold, the sun was
darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and
many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after
His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Matt. 27:54-56, Mark 15:39-41, Luke 23:47-49
Now when the centurion, which
stood over against Him, saw that He so cried out, and gave up the spirit, he
glorified God and said, Truly this man was righteous man, the Son of God. And they that were with Him, watching
Yahshua, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, and they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son
of God.
And many women were there
beholding afar off, which followed Yahshua from
And all the people that came
together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their
breasts, and returned. And all His acquaintance, and the women that followed
Him from Galilee, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
the less and of Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children and Salome;
(Who also, when He was in
Galilee, followed Him, and ministered unto Him;) and many other women which
came up with Him unto
The Jews therefore, because it
was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the stake on the
sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with Him. But
when they came to Yahshua, and saw that He was dead already, they brake not His
legs:
But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
And he that saw [it] bare
record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye
might believe.
For these things were done, that
the scripture should be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be
broken".
And again another scripture
saith, "They shall look on him whom they pierced".
Matt. 27:57-58, Mark 15:42-45, Luke 23:50-52, John 19:38
When the even was come, because
it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came a rich
man named Joseph, an honourable counsellor. He was a good man, and a just,
which also waited for the kingdom of God, who also himself was Yahshua's
disciple, but secretly for fear of the Jews:
(The same had not consented to
the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who
also himself waited for the
He went in boldly to Pilate, and
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Yahshua.
And Pilate marvelled if He were
already dead: and calling [unto him] the centurion, he asked him whether He had
been any while dead.
And when he knew [it] of the
centurion, then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered to Joseph. He came
therefore, and took the body of Yahshua.
Matt. 27:59-60, Mark 15:46, Luke 23:53-54, John 19:39-42
And there came also Nicodemus,
which at the first came to Yahshua by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and
aloes, about an hundred pound [weight].
And Joseph bought fine linen,
and when he took the body down, they wrapped Him in the clean linen cloth with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
Now in the place where He was
crucified there was a garden; and in the garden Joseph's new sepulchre, wherein
was never yet any one laid, which he had hewn out in the rock: there laid they
Yahshua therefore because of the Jews' preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was
nigh at hand. And they rolled a great
stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
And that day was the
preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Matt. 27:61, Mark 15:47, Luke 23:55
And there was Mary Magdalene,
and the other Mary, [the mother] of Joses, sitting over against the sepulchre.
And the women, which came with
Him from
Now the next day, that followed
the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto
Pilate,
Saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Command therefore that the
sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night,
and steal Him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the
last error shall be worse than the first.
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a
watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye can.
So they went, and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
And when the sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet
spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Matt. 28:1-7, Mark 16:2-8, Luke 24:1-3, John 20:1
The first [day] of the week
cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre;
And behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead [men].
And in the end of the sabbath,
when the Sabbath was past, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the
week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre, bringing the
spices which they had prepared, [and certain others with them].
And they said among themselves,
Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
And when they looked, they saw
that the stone was rolled away from the sepulchre: for it was very great.
And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Yahshua, Which was
crucified.
He is not here: for He is risen,
as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell
His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you
into
And entering into the sepulchre,
they found not the body of the Lord Yahshua: they saw a young man sitting on
the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
And he saith unto them, Be not
affrighted: Ye seek Yahshua of Nazareth, Which was crucified: He is risen; He
is not here: behold the place where they laid Him.
But go your way, tell His
disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into
And they went out quickly, and
fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they
any thing to any [one]; for they were afraid.
Then Mary runneth, and cometh to
Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Yahshua loved, and saith unto
them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where
they have laid Him.
Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
So they ran both together: and
the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
And he stooping down, [and
looking in], saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
Then cometh Simon Peter
following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
and the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself.
Then went in also that other
disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
For as yet they knew not the
scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
Then the disciples went away
again unto their own home.
But Mary stood without at the
sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the
sepulchre,
And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of
Yahshua had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord,
and I know not where they have laid Him.
And when she had thus said, she
turned herself back, and saw Yahshua standing, and knew not that it was Yahshua.
Yahshua saith unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him to be the gardener,
saith unto Him, Sir, if Thou have borne Him hence, tell me where Thou hast laid
Him, and I will take Him away.
Yahshua saith unto her, Mary.
She turned herself, and saith unto Him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Yahshua saith unto her, Touch Me
not; for I am not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My brethren, and say
unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and [to] My God, and your
God.
[And] Mary Magdalene came and
told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] He had spoken these
things unto her.
And it came to pass, as [the
women] were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining
garments:
And as they were afraid, and
bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living
among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen:
remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in
Saying, The Son of man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful people, and be crucified, and the third day
rise again.
And they remembered His words,
and they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did
run and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
And as they went to tell His
disciples, behold, Yahshua met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held
Him by the feet, and worshipped Him.
Then said Yahshua unto them, Be
not afraid: go tell My brethren that they go into
It was Mary Magdalene and
Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them,
which told these things unto the apostles.
And the women's words seemed to
the disciples as idle tales, and they believed them not.
Then arose Peter, and ran unto
the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by
themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
Now when they were going,
behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests
all the things that were done.
And when they were assembled
with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the
soldiers, saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole Him [away]
while we slept.
And if this come to the
governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
So they took the money, and did
as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until
this day.
Now when [Yahshua] was risen
early the first [day] of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of
whom he had cast seven devils.
[And] she went and told them
that had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.
And they, when they had heard
that He was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
After that He appeared in
another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
Behold, two of them went that
same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from
And they talked together of all
these things which had happened.
And it came to pass, that, while
they communed together and reasoned, Yahshua Himself drew near, and went with
them.
But their eyes were holden that
they should not know Him.
And He said unto them, What
manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and
are sad?
And the one of them, whose name
was Cleopas, answering said unto Him, Art Thou only a stranger in
And He said unto them, What
things? And they said unto Him, Concerning Yahshua of Nazareth, Which was a prophet
mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
And how the chief priests and
our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him.
But we trusted that it had been
He Which should have redeemed
Yea, and certain women also of
our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when
they found not His body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of
angels, which said that He was alive.
And certain of them which were
with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but
Him they saw not.
Then He said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Ought not the Christ to have
suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? And beginning at Moses and
all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things
concerning Himself.
And they drew nigh unto the
village, whither they went: and He made as though He would have gone further.
But they constrained Him,
saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And
He went in to tarry with them.
And it came to pass, as He sat
at meat with them, He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and
they knew Him; and He vanished out of their sight.
And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while
He opened to us the scriptures?
And they rose up the same hour,
and returned to
Saying, The Lord is risen
indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
And they told what things were
done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread, [but]
neither believed they them.
Mark 16:14, Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-23
[And it was] the same day at
evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the
disciples were for fear of the Jews.
And as they thus spake, Yahshua
Himself stood in the midst of the eleven as they sat at meat and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you.
But they were terrified and
affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And He said unto them, Why are
ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? [And] He upbraided them
with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which
had seen Him after He was risen.
And when He had so said, He
said, Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see; for
a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have.
Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,
He said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
And they gave Him a piece of a
broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And He took it, and did eat before them.
Then said Yahshua to them again,
Peace [be] unto you: as [My] Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.
And when He had said this, He
breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: Whose
soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye
retain, they are retained.
And He said unto them, These are
the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things
must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
and in the psalms, concerning Me.
Then opened He their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them, Thus it is
written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead
the third day:
And that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning
at
And ye are witnesses of these
things.
And, behold, I send the promise
of My Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
And He said unto them, Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover.
And He led them out as far as to
And it came to pass, while He
blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
And they worshipped Him, and
returned to
But Thomas, one of the twelve,
called Didymus, was not with them when Yahshua came.
The other disciples therefore
said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see
in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.
And after eight days again His
disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Yahshua, the doors
being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
Then saith He to Thomas, Reach
hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust
[it] into My side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said
unto Him, My Lord and my God.
Yahshua saith unto him, Because
thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen,
and [yet] have believed.
And many other signs truly did
Yahshua in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book:
But these are written, that ye
might believe that Yahshua is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye
might have life through His name.
After these things Yahshua
shewed Himself again to the disciples at the
There were together Simon Peter,
and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in
Simon Peter saith unto them, I
go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and
entered into a ship; and that night they caught nothing.
But when the morning was now
come, Yahshua stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was
Yahshua.
Then Yahshua saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat? They answered Him, No.
And He said unto them, Cast the
net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and
now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Therefore that disciple whom
Yahshua loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that
it was the Lord, he girt [his] fisher's coat [unto him], (for he was naked,)
and did cast himself into the sea.
And the other disciples came in
a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred
cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
As soon then as they were come
to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
Yahshua saith unto them, Bring
of the fish which ye have now caught.
Simon Peter went up, and drew
the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for
all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
Yahshua saith unto them, Come
[and] dine. And none of the disciples durst ask Him, Who art Thou? knowing that
it was the Lord.
Yahshua cometh, and taketh
bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
This is now the third time that
Yahshua shewed Himself to His disciples, after that He was risen from the dead.
So when they had dined, Yahshua
saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? He
saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him,
Feed My lambs.
He saith to him again the second
time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou Me? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; Thou
knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My sheep.
He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou Me? Peter was grieved because He said
unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou
knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. Yahshua saith unto him, Feed
My sheep.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou
wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not.
This spake He, signifying by
what death he should glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He saith unto
him, Follow Me.
Peter, turning about, seeth the
disciple whom Yahshua loved following; which also leaned on His breast at
supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth Thee?
Peter seeing him saith to
Yahshua, Lord, and what [shall] this man [do]?
Yahshua saith unto him, If I
will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? follow thou Me.
Then went this saying abroad
among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Yahshua said not
unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is
that] to thee?
This is the disciple which
testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony
is true.
And there are also many other
things which Yahshua did, the which, if they should be written every one, I
suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be
written.
Then the eleven disciples went

And when they saw Him, they
worshipped Him: but some doubted.
And Yahshua came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit:
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even]
unto the end of the world.
So then after the Lord had
spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of
God. And they went forth, and preached
every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.
