Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Yahshua the Christ, the son of David, the
son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his
brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom
begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat
Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat
Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her [that
had been the wife] of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and
Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Yahshua, Who is
called the Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and
from David until the carrying away into
18 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.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a
publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto
thee Mary thy wife: for That Which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name YAHSHUA: for
He shall save His people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, 'God with us'.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden
him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called
His name Yahshua.
1 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 Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is He That is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star
in the east, and are come to worship Him.
3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all
4 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.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the
prophet,
6 "And thou
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they
saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young
child was.
10 When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary
His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to
Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and
flee into
14 When he arose, he took the young child and His mother by night, and departed
into
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding
wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in
all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time
which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are
not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream
to Joseph in
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and go into the
21 And he arose, and took the young child and His mother, and came into the
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his
father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God
in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 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.
1 In those days came John the
Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of
one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths
straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle
about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him
6 And were baptized of him in
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he
said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the
wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for
I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every
tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He That cometh after me
is mightier than I, Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you
with the Holy Spirit, and [with] fire:
12 Whose fan [is] in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and
gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Yahshua from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad Him, saying, I
have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?
15 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.
16 And Yahshua, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water:
and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am
well pleased.
1 Then was Yahshua led up of the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an
hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If Thou be the Son of God, command
that these stones be made bread.
4 But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".
5 Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a
pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down: for it is
written, "He shall give His angels charge concerning thee: and in [their]
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone".
7 Yahshua said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh
thy God".
8 Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth
Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto Him, All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down
and worship me.
10 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".
11 Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto
Him.
12 Now when Yahshua had heard that John was cast into prison, He departed into
Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea
coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in
the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Yahshua began to
preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 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.
19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed Him.
21 And going on from thence, He saw other two brethren, James [the son] of
Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets; and He called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed Him.
23 And Yahshua went about all
24 And His fame went throughout all
25 And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from]
Decapolis, and [from]
1 And seeing the multitudes, He
went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him:
2 And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they
shall be filled.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when [people] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
13 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.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 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.
16 Let your light so shine before people, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father Which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 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.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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:
22 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.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that
thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled
to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 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.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou
hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 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.
30 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.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
32 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.
33 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:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
37 But let your word, Yea [be] yea; Nay [be] nay: for whatsoever is more than
these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth:
39 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.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have [thy] cloke also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn
not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and
hate thine enemy.
44 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;
45 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.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the
publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not
even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father Which is in heaven is perfect.
1 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.
2 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.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father Which seeth in secret
Himself shall reward thee.
5 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.
6 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.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye
have need of, before ye ask Him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father Which art in heaven, Hallowed
be Thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 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.
14 For if ye forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not people their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.
16 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.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 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.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the
eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 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!
24 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.
25 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?
26 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?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
30 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?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the
34 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.
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye
mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 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?
5 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.
6 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.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what one is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a
stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 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?
12 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.
13 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:
14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do people gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 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.
22 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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that
work iniquity.
24 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:
25 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.
26 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:
27 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.
28 And it came to pass, when Yahshua had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at His doctrine:
29 For He taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
1 When He was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou
wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
3 And Yahshua put forth [His] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou
clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 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.
5 And when Yahshua was entered into
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously
tormented.
7 And Yahshua saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 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.
9 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].
10 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.
11 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.
12 But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 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.
14 And when Yahshua was come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother laid,
and sick of a fever.
15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and
ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with
devils: and He cast out the spirits with [His] word, and healed all that were
sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.
18 Now when Yahshua saw great multitudes about Him, He gave commandment to
depart unto the other side.
19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto Him, Master, I will follow Thee
whithersoever Thou goest.
20 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.
21 And another of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury
my father.
22 But Yahshua said unto him, Follow Me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship
was covered with the waves: but He was asleep.
25 And His disciples came to [Him], and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we
perish.
26 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.
27 But the people marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the
winds and the sea obey Him!
28 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.
29 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?
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the devils besought Him, saying, If Thou cast us out, suffer us to go
away into the herd of swine.
32 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.
33 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.
34 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.
1 And He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city.
2 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.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man]
blasphemeth.
4 And Yahshua knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your
hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise,
and walk?
6 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.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, Which
had given such power unto people.
9 And as Yahshua passed forth from thence, He saw a man, named Matthew, sitting
at the receipt of custom: and He saith unto him, Follow Me. And he arose, and
followed Him.
10 And it came to pass, as Yahshua sat at meat in the house, behold, many
publicans and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto His disciples, Why eateth
your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Yahshua heard [that], He said unto them, They that be whole need
not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 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.
14 Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees
fast oft, but Thy disciples fast not?
15 And Yahshua said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long
as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No one putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is
put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and
the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new
bottles, and both are preserved.
18 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.
19 And Yahshua arose, and followed him, and [so did] His disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve
years, came behind [Him], and touched the hem of His garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be
whole.
22 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.
23 And when Yahshua came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the
people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And
they laughed Him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, He went in, and took her by the hand,
and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Yahshua departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and
saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
28 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.
29 Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Yahshua straitly charged them, saying, See
[that] no one know [it].
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad His fame in all that
country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a
devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes
marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the
devils.
35 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.
36 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.
37 Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the
labourers [are] few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers
into His harvest.
1 And when He had called unto [Him]
His twelve disciples, He gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is
called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his
brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James [the son] of
Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
5 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:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye
have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet
staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy;
and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not
worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 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.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore
wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they
will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a
testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 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.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in
you.
21 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.
22 And ye shall be hated of all for My name's sake: but he that endureth to the
end shall be saved.
23 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
24 The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 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?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in
the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.
28 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.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on
the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before people, him will I confess also
before My Father Which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny Me before people, him will I also deny before My
Father Which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace,
but a sword.
35 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.
36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
37 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.
38 And he that taketh not his stake, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of
Me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My
sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him
That sent
41 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.
42 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.
1 And it came to pass, when Yahshua
had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach
and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent two of
his disciples,
3 And said unto Him, Art Thou He That should come, or do we look for another?
4 Yahshua answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things
which ye do hear and see:
5 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.
6 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in
7 And as they 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?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they
that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more
than a prophet.
10 For this is [he], of whom it is written, "Behold, I send My messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee".
11 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.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive [it],
this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children
sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned
unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 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 her children.
20 Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were
done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee,
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
23 And thou,
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
25 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.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.
27 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].
28 Come unto Me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.
29 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.
30 For My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.
1 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.
2 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.
3 But He said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an
hungred, and they that were with him;
4 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?
5 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?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the
sabbath day.
9 And when He was departed thence, He went into their synagogue:
10 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.
11 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?
12 How much then is a person better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do
well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith He to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it]
forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against Him, how they might
destroy Him.
15 But when Yahshua knew [it], He withdrew Himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all;
16 And charged them that they should not make Him known:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 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.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any one hear His voice in the
streets.
20 A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench,
till He send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in His name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 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.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast
out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And He knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then
his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast [them] out?
therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the
Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me
scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven
unto people: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be
forgiven unto people.
32 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.
33 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.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out
of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 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.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that people shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master,
we would see a sign from thee.
39 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:
40 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.
41 The men of
42 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.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a person, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 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.
45 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.
46 While He yet talked to the people, behold, [His] mother and His brethren
stood without, desiring to speak with Him.
47 Then one said unto Him, Behold, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without,
desiring to speak with Thee.
48 But He answered and said unto him that told Him, Who is My mother? and who
are My brethren?
49 And He stretched forth His hand toward His disciples, and said, Behold My
mother and My brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of My Father Which is in heaven, the same is
My brother, and sister, and mother.
1 The same day went Yahshua out of
the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a
ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And He spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went
forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith
they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root,
they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in
parables?
11 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.
12 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.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 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:
15 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 should be converted, and I should heal them".
16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 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].
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not,
then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth
the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.
22 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.
23 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.
24 Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
likened unto a one which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while people slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and
went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the
tares also.
27 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?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt
thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them.
30 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.
31 Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
like to a grain of mustard seed, which a one took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the
greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 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.
34 All these things spake Yahshua unto the multitude in parables; and without a
parable spake He not unto them:
35 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.
36 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.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the
tares are the sons of the wicked [one];
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be
in the end of this world.
41 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;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their
Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 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.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly
pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he
had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea,
and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the
good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and
sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto Him, Yea.
52 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.
53 And it came to pass, [that] when Yahshua had finished these parables, He
departed thence.
54 And when He was come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue,
insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [one] this
wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not His mother called Mary? and His
brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all
these things?
57 And they were offended in Him. But Yahshua said unto them, A prophet is not
without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch
heard of the fame of Yahshua,
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the
dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for
Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because
they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before
them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John
Baptist's head upon a platter.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat
with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her].
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11 And his head was brought upon a platter, and given to the damsel: and she
brought [it] to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and
told Yahshua.
13 When Yahshua heard [of it], He departed thence by ship into a desert place
apart: and when the people had heard [thereof], they followed Him on foot out
of the cities.
14 And Yahshua went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15 And when 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 villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Yahshua said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto Him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to Me.
19 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five
loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed, and brake,
and gave the loaves to [His] disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full.
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and
children.
22 And straightway Yahshua constrained His disciples to get into a ship, and to
go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart
to pray: and when the evening was come, He was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the
wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Yahshua went unto them, walking on the
sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled,
saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Yahshua spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I;
be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee
on the water.
29 And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked
on the water, to go to Yahshua.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink,
he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Yahshua stretched forth [His] hand, and caught him, and said
unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship
came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God.
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of Him, they sent out into all
that country round about, and brought unto Him all that were diseased;
36 And besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
1 Then came to Yahshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of
2 Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash
not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But He answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment
of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth
father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye
made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 "This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me
with [their] lips; but their heart is far from Me.
9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of
men".
10 And He called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a person; but that which cometh
out of the mouth, this defileth a person.
12 Then came His disciples, and said unto Him, Knowest Thou that the Pharisees
were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father hath not
planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead
the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto Him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Yahshua said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth
into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart;
and they defile the person.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are [the things] which defile one: but to eat with unwashen hands
defileth not a one.
21 Then Yahshua went thence, and departed into the coasts of
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto
Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [Thou] son of David; my daughter is
grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him,
saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house
of
25 Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and
to cast [it] to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from
their masters' table.
28 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.
29 And Yahshua departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and
went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 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' feet; and
He healed them:
31 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.
32 Then 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, lest they faint in the way.
33 And His disciples say unto Him, Whence should we have so much bread in the
wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Yahshua saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven,
and a few little fishes.
35 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake
[them], and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat]
that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And He sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of
Magdala.
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired Him that He would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them,
When it is evening, ye say, Fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 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?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And He left them, and
departed.
5 And when His disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to
take bread.
6 Then Yahshua said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no
bread.
8 [Which] when Yahshua perceived, He said unto them, O ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took
up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning
bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that He bade [them] not beware of the leaven of
bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Yahshua came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His
disciples, saying, Whom do people say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some [say that Thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.
17 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.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged He His disciples that they should tell no one that He was the
Christ.
21 From that time forth began Yahshua to shew unto His disciples, how that He
must go unto
22 Then Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee,
Lord: this shall not be unto Thee.
23 But He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind Me, Satan: thou art an
offence unto Me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those
that be of men.
24 Then said Yahshua unto His disciples, If any [one] will come after He, let
him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for My sake shall find it.
26 For what is one profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall one give in exchange for his soul?
27 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.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of
death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.
1 And after six days Yahshua taketh
Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain
apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His
raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Yahshua, Lord, it is good for us to be
here: if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a
voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well
pleased; hear ye Him.
6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore
afraid.
7 And Yahshua came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, save Yahshua only.
9 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.
10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias
must first come?
11 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and
restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but
have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man
suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a [certain] man,
kneeling down to Him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes
he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Yahshua answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to
18 And Yahshua rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was
cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Yahshua apart, and said, Why could not we cast
him out?
20 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.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 And while they abode in
23 And they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised again. And
they were exceeding sorry.
24 And when they were come to
25 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?
26 Peter saith unto Him, Of strangers. Yahshua saith unto him, Then are the
sons free.
27 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.
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Yahshua, saying, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Yahshua called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little
children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were
better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were
drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 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!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them]
from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than
having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is
better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to
be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you,
That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father Which is in
heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 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?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of
that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father Which is in heaven, that one of
these little ones should perish.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his
fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy
brother.
16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in
the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he
neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching
any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father Which is
in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the
midst of them.
21 Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against
me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Yahshua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until
seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would
take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him
ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and
his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and
forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which
owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the
throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the
debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came
and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked
servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I
had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should
pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your
hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
1 And it came to pass, [that] when Yahshua had finished these sayings, He
departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
2 And great multitudes followed Him; and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto Him, tempting Him, and saying unto Him, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He Which made
[them] at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto Him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of
divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you
to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for
fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth
her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto Him, If the case of the man be so with [his] wife, it
is not good to marry.
11 But He said unto them, All cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom
it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb:
and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13 Then were there brought unto Him little children, that He should put [His]
hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Yahshua said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto
Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And He laid [His] hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall
I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? [there is] none good but
one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto Him, Which? Yahshua said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt
not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
20 The young man saith unto Him, All these things have I kept from my youth up:
what lack I yet?
21 Yahshua said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come
[and] follow
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had
great possessions.
23 Then said Yahshua unto His disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man
shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the
25 When His disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who
then can be saved?
26 But Yahshua beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible;
but with God all things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto Him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and
followed Thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 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
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father,
or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive an
hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.
1 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.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them
into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I
will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 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?
7 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.
8 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.
9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received
each a penny.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more;
and they likewise received each a penny.
11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the
house,
12 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.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not
thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as
unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil,
because I am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few
chosen.
17 And Yahshua going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the
way, and said unto them,
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the
chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,
19 And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to
crucify [Him]: and the third day He shall rise again.
20 Then came to Him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping
[Him], and desiring a certain thing of Him.
21 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.
22 But Yahshua answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink
of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with? They say unto Him, We are able.
23 And He saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of My cup, and be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on My right hand, and on
My left, is not Mine to give, but [to those] for whom it is prepared of My
Father.
24 And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with indignation against the
two brethren.
25 But Yahshua called them [unto him], and said, Ye know that the princes of
the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise
authority upon them.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let
him be your minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give His life a ransom for many.
29 And as they departed from
30 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.
31 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.
32 And Yahshua stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I
shall do unto you?
33 They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 So Yahshua had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately
their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
1 And when they drew nigh unto
Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent
Yahshua two disciples,
2 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.
3 And if any [one] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying,
5 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.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Yahshua commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they
set [Him] thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down
branches from the trees, and strawed [them] in the way.
9 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.
10 And when He was come into
11 And the multitude said, This is Yahshua the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 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,
13 And said unto them, It is written, "My house shall be called the house
of prayer"; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple; and He healed them.
15 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,
16 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"?
17 And He left them, and went out of the city into
18 Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He hungered.
19 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.
20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig
tree withered away!
21 Yahshua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have
faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig
tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive.
23 And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of
the people came unto Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority doest
Thou these things? and who gave Thee this authority?
24 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing,
which if ye tell Me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these
things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they
reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say
unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a
prophet.
27 And they answered Yahshua, and said, We cannot tell. And He said unto them,
Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 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.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I
[go], sir: and went not.
31 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
32 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.
33 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:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the
husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and
stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them
likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my
son.
38 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.
39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those
husbandmen?
41 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.
42 Yahshua saith 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 marvelous in our eyes"?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it
shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard His parables, they
perceived that He spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because
they took Him for a prophet.
1 And Yahshua answered and spake
unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for
his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and
they would not come.
4 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.
5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to
his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]spitefully, and slew [them].
7 But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his
armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were
bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the
marriage.
10 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.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had
not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a
wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 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.
14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle Him in
[His] talk.
16 And they sent out unto Him 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.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest Thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto
Caesar, or not?
18 But Yahshua perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye Me, [ye]
hypocrites?
19 Shew Me the tribute money. And they brought unto Him a penny.
20 And He saith unto them, Whose
[is] this image and superscription?
21 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.
22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left Him, and went
their way.
23 The same day came to Him the Sadducees, which say that there is no
resurrection, and asked Him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother
shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a
wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they
all had her.
29 Yahshua answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures,
nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but
are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which
was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 "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.
33 And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at His doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence,
they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [Him a question], tempting
Him, and saying,
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
37 Yahshua said unto him, "Thou shalt love Yahweh thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind".
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second [is] like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself".
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Yahshua asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is He? They say unto Him,
[The son] of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying,
44 "Yahweh said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine
enemies Thy footstool"?
45 If David then call Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, neither durst any [one] from that
day forth ask Him any more [questions].
1 Then spake Yahshua to the multitude, and to His disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, observe and do; but do not ye
after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 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.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of people: they make broad their
phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of people, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] the Christ; and
all ye are brethren.
9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, Which is
in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] the Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble
himself shall be exalted.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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!
17 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that
sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever
sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that
sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things
thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by Him That
dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him
That sitteth thereon.
23 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.
24 [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 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.
26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and
platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 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.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto people, but within ye are
full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs
of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 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.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the sons of them
which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?
34 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:
35 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.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 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!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 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.
1 And Yahshua went out, and
departed from the temple: and His disciples came to [Him] for to shew Him the
buildings of the temple.
2 And Yahshua said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
3 And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the
sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no one deceive you.
5 For many shall come in My name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall deceive
many.
6 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.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye
shall be hated of all nations for My name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall
hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 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.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his
house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any one shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or there;
believe [it] not.
24 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.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 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.
27 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.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 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:
30 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 power and great glory.
31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near,
[even] at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [one], no, not the angels of heaven, but
My Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
38 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,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 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.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over
his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming;
49 And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
50 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,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye
out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are
gone out.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh.
14 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.
15 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.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same,
and made [them] other five talents.
17 And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his
lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them.
20 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.
21 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 oney things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 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.
23 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.
24 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:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou
hast [that is] thine.
26 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:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then]
at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten
talents.
29 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.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 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:
32 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:
33 And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 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:
35 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:
36 Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison,
and ye came unto Me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an
hungred, and fed [Thee]? or thirsty, and gave [Thee] drink?
38 When saw we Thee a stranger, and took [Thee] in? or naked, and clothed
[Thee]?
39 Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?
40 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.
41 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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me
no drink:
43 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.
44 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?
45 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
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into
life eternal.
1 And it came to pass, when Yahshua had finished all these sayings, He said
unto His disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and the Son of
man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 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,
4 And consulted that they might take Yahshua by subtilty, and kill [Him].
5 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar among the
people.
6 Now when Yahshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious
ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat [at meat].
8 But when His disciples saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what
purpose [is] this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Yahshua understood [it], He said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good work upon
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but Me ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on My body, she did [it] for My
burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the
whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a
memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you?
And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
17 Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread the disciples came to
Yahshua, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the
passover?
18 And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master
saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with My
disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Yahshua had appointed them; and they made ready the
passover.
20 Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, He said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall
betray Me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto Him,
Lord, is it I?
23 And He answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand with Me in the dish,
the same shall betray Me.
24 The Son of man 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.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed Him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said
unto him, Thou hast said.
26 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.
27 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink
ye all of it;
28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins.
29 But 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.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31 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".
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
33 Peter answered and said unto Him, Though all shall be offended because of Thee,
[yet] will I never be offended.
34 Yahshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.
35 Peter said unto Him, Though I should die with Thee, yet will I not deny
Thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then cometh Yahshua with them unto a place called
37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be
sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:
tarry ye here, and watch with Me.
39 And He went a little farther, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My
Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I
will, but as Thou [wilt].
40 And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto
Peter, What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is]
willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
42 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.
43 And He came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the
same words.
45 Then cometh He to His disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take
[your] rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into
the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
47 And while He yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a
great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of
the people.
48 Now he that betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss,
that same is He: hold Him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Yahshua, and said, Hail, Master; and kissed Him.
50 And Yahshua said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they,
and laid hands on Yahshua, and took Him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Yahshua stretched out [his] hand,
and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off
his ear.
52 Then said Yahshua unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all
they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently
give Me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Yahshua to the multitudes, 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
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be
fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled.
57 And they that had laid hold on Yahshua led [Him] away to Caiaphas the high
priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in,
and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness
against Yahshua, to put Him to death;
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they
none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto Him, Answerest Thou nothing? what
[is it which] these witness against Thee?
63 But Yahshua held His peace. 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.
64 Yahshua saith unto him, Thou hast said: 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.
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;
what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard His
blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in His face, and buffeted Him; and others smote [Him]
with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, Thou Christ, Who is he that smote Thee?
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying,
Thou also wast with Yahshua of Galilee.
70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and said
unto them that were there, This [fellow] was also with Yahshua of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto [him] they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Yahshua, which said unto him, Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
1 When the morning was come, all
the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Yahshua to put
Him to death:
2 And when they had bound Him, they led [Him] away, and delivered Him to Pontius
Pilate the governor.
3 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,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they
said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went
and hanged himself.
6 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.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9 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
10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11 And Yahshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked Him, saying,
Art Thou the King of the Jews? And Yahshua said unto him, Thou sayest.
12 And when He was accused of the chief priests and elders, He answered
nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto Him, Hearest Thou not how many things they witness
against Thee?
14 And He answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled
greatly.
15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will
ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Yahshua Which is called the Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered Him.
19 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.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should
ask Barabbas, and destroy Yahshua.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that
I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Yahshua Which is called
the Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let Him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath He done? But they cried out the
more, saying, Let Him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult
was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I
am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it].
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our
children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Yahshua, he
delivered [Him] to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Yahshua into the common hall, and
gathered unto Him the whole band [of soldiers].
28 And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe.
29 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, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put
His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify [Him].
32 And as they came out, they found a man of
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skull,
34 They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when He had tasted
[thereof], He would not drink.
35 And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lots: 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.
36 And sitting down they watched Him there;
37 And set up over His head His accusation written, THIS IS YAHSHUA THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and
another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, 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.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [Him], with the scribes and elders,
said,
42 He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let
Him now come down from the stake, and we will believe Him.
43 He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He
said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with Him, cast the same in His teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth
hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Yahshua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli,
lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man]
calleth for Elias.
48 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.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save Him.
50 Yahshua, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy
city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with Him, watching Yahshua, saw
the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying,
Truly this was the Son of God.
55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Yahshua from
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and
the mother of Zebedee's children.
57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph,
who also himself was Yahshua' disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Yahshua. Then Pilate commanded the
body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he
rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the
sepulchre.
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again.
64 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.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye
can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a
watch.
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of
the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 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.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that
ye seek Yahshua, Which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the
Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and,
behold, He goeth before you into
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did
run to bring His disciples word.
9 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.
10 Then said Yahshua unto them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren that they go
into Galilee, and there shall they see Me.
11 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.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they
gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole Him [away] while we
slept.
14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure
you.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is
commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into
17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted.
18 And Yahshua came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in
heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
20 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. Amen.
