Luke Chapter 1 to 6
- BIBLE STUDY
Chapter 1
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most excellent Theophilus,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
wherein thou hast been instructed.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea , a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course
of Abia and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all
the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office before God in the order of his course,
9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot
was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole
multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared
unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of
incense.
12 And when Zacharias
saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said
unto him, Fear not, Zacharias for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth
shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 And thou shalt
have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be
great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink;
and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the
children of Israel
17 And he shall go
before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers
to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said
unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife
well stricken in years.
19 And the angel
answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and
am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
20 And, behold, thou
shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be
performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in
their season.
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that
he tarried so long in the temple.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them and
they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple for he beckoned unto
them, and remained speechless.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and
hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he
looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 And in the sixth
month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee ,
named Nazareth
27 To a virgin
espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came
in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with
thee blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw
him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of
salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said
unto her, Fear not, Mary for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou
shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name
JESUS.
32 He shall be great,
and shall be called the Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David
33 And he shall reign
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary
unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel
answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power
of the Highest shall overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall
be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin
Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age and this is the sixth
month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God
nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said,
Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the
angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in
those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda
40 And entered into
the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to
pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her
womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost
42 And she spake out
with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this
to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon
as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb
for joy.
45 And blessed is she
that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told
her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My
soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath
rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath
regarded the low estate of his handmaiden for, behold, from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is
mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is
on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed
strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their
hearts.
52 He hath put down
the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the
hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath holpen his
servant Israel
55 As he spake to our
fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned
to her own house.
57 Now Elisabeth's
full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbours
and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they
rejoiced with her.
59 And it came to
pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called
him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 And his mother
answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 And they said unto
her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 And they made
signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a
writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64 And his mouth was
opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
65 And fear came on
all that dwelt round about them and all these sayings were noised abroad
throughout all the hill country of Judaea .
66 And all they that heard
them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be!
And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the
Lord God of Israel
69 And hath raised up
an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the
mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began
71 That we should be
saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the
mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he
sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would
grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might
serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and
righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76 And thou, child,
shalt be called the prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the face of
the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge
of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender
mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to
them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into
the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was
in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel .
Chapter 2
And it came to pass
in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the
world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing
was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria
3 And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also
went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth ,
into Judaea, unto the city of David , which is
called Bethlehem
5 To be taxed with
Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was,
that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
7 And she brought
forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in
the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
9 And, lo, the angel
of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them
and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said
unto them, Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be
a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
13 And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to
pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with
haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had
seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this
child.
18 And all they that
heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all
these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the
circumcising of the child, His name was
called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in
the womb.
22 And when the days
of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they
brought him to Jerusalem
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said
in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there
was a man in Jerusalem , whose name was Simeon;
and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel
26 And it was
revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he
had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the
Spirit into the temple and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do
for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him
up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest
thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word
30 For mine eyes have
seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast
prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten
the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel
33 And Joseph and his
mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed
them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and
rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword
shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may
be revealed.
36 And there was one
Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser she was of a
great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a
widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple,
but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in
that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem
39 And when they had performed all things according to the
law of the Lord, they returned into
Galilee, to their own city Nazareth
40 And the child
grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and the grace of God was
upon him.
41 Now his parents
went to Jerusalem
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom
of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,
the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem ;
and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went
a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem , seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and
asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his
understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed and his mother
said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I
have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist
ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto
them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth , and was subject unto them but his
mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour
with God and man.
Chapter 3
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis,
and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 And he came into
all the country about Jordan
4 As it is written in
the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall
be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked
shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall
see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the
multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth
therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to our father for I say unto you, That God is able of these
stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the
axe is laid unto the root of the trees every tree therefore which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 And the people
asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 He answereth and
saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none;
and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Then came also
publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 And he said unto
them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers
likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them,
Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your
wages.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused
in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 John answered,
saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost and with fire
17 Whose fan is in
his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into
his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto
the people.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for
Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,
that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a
dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 And Jesus himself
began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of
Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
24 Which was the son
of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was
the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
25 Which was the son
of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was
the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
26 Which was the son
of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which
was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
27 Which was the son
of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which
was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,
28 Which was the son
of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the
son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
29 Which was the son
of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was
the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
30 Which was the son
of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was
the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
31 Which was the son
of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was
the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
32 Which was the son
of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the
son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
33 Which was the son
of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram
34 Which was the son
of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was
the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
35 Which was the son
of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was
the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
36 Which was the son
of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was
the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
37 Which was the son
of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was
the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
38 Which was the son
of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the
son of God.
Chapter 4
And Jesus being full
of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan
2 Being forty days
tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing and when they were
ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered
him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word of God.
5 And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said
unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them for that is
delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore
wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered
and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him
to Jerusalem
10 For it is written,
He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
11 And in their hands
they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus
answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil
had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Jesus returned
in the power of the Spirit into Galilee and
there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
15 And he taught in
their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth
17 And there was
delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the
book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised,
19 To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the
book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all
them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to
say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him
witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto
them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself
whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said,
Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of
a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the
land;
26 But unto none of
them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was
a widow.
27 And many lepers
were in Israel
28 And all they in
the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and
thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their
city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing
through the midst of them went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum , a city of Galilee
32 And they were
astonished at his doctrine for his word was with power.
33 And in the
synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried
out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us
alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth
35 And Jesus rebuked
him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown
him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all
amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with
authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of
him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out
of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was
taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over
her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her and immediately she arose and
ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun
was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto
him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And devils also
came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And
he rebuking them suffered them not to speak for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was
day, he departed and went into a desert place and the people sought him, and
came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43 And he said unto
them, I must preach the kingdom
of God
44 And he preached in
the synagogues of Galilee .
Chapter 5
And it came to pass,
that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret
2 And saw two ships
standing by the lake but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing
their nets.
3 And he entered into
one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a
little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had
left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your
nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering
said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had
this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned
unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and
help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to
sink.
8 When Simon Peter
saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful
man, O Lord.
9 For he was
astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they
had taken
10 And so was also
James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus
said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had
brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 And it came to
pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy who seeing
Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou
canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth
his hand, and touched him, saying, I will be thou clean. And immediately the
leprosy departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man but go, and shew
thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him and
great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
infirmities.
16 And he withdrew
himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 And it came to
pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and
doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee,
and Judaea, and Jerusalem and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 And, behold, men
brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy and they sought means to
bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 And when they
could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude,
they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch
into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw
their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes
and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh
blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus
perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your
hearts?
23 Whether is easier,
to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may
know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto
the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go
into thine house.
25 And immediately he
rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own
house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all
amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen
strange things to day.
27 And after these
things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of
custom and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all,
rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him
a great feast in his own house and there was a great company of publicans and
of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes
and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink
with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus
answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they
that are sick.
32 I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto
him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise
the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto
them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom
is with them?
35 But the days will
come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they
fast in those days.
36 And he spake also
a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if
otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of
the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth
new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be
spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must
be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having
drunk old wine straightway desireth new for he saith, The old is better.
Chapter 6
And it came to pass
on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields;
and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their
hands.
2 And certain of the
Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the
sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering
them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was
an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into
the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them
that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto
them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass
also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught and
there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and
Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they
might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their
thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand
forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus
unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do
good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
10 And looking round
about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did
so and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were
filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to
pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all
night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was
day, he called unto him his disciples and of them he chose twelve, whom also he
named apostles;
14 Simon, (whom he
also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and
Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and
Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16 And Judas the
brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17 And he came down
with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a
great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea
coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases;
18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits and they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him for there
went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up
his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor for yours is the kingdom of God
21 Blessed are ye
that hunger now for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now for ye
shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye,
when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company,
and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's
sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that
day, and leap for joy for, behold, your reward is great in heaven for in the
like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you
that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that
are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn
and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when
all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false
prophets.
27 But I say unto you
which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that
curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that
smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away
thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man
that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would
that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love
them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love
them.
33 And if ye do good
to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the
same.
34 And if ye lend to
them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to
sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your
enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall
be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore
merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye
shall not be judged condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned forgive, and ye
shall be forgiven
38 Give, and it shall
be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again.
39 And he spake a
parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into
the ditch?
40 The disciple is
not above his master but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41 And why beholdest
thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is
in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst
thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine
eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43 For a good tree
bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit.
44 For every tree is
known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble
bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of
the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil
man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil for
of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye
me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh
to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is
like
48 He is like a man
which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock and
when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not
shake it for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that
heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house
upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately
it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
