+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the  beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,  wherein thou hast been instructed.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the  commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,  and they both were now well stricken in years.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's  office before God in the order of his course,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the whole multitude of the people were praying without  at the time of incense.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on  the right side of the altar of incense.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell  upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice  at his birth.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord  their God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he  tarried so long in the temple.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his  ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid  herself five months, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he  looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God  unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the  house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and  cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast  found favour with God.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring  forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of  his kingdom there shall be no end.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I  know not a man?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>For with God nothing shall be impossible.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto  me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country  with haste, into a city of Juda;</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted  Elisabeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art  thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should  come to me?</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in  mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a  performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,  behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy  is his name.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to  generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the  proud in the imagination of their hearts.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted  them of low degree.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he  hath sent empty away.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his  mercy;</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for  ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to  her own house.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;  and she brought forth a son.</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had  shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='60'>And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be  called John.</verse>
+    <verse no='61'>And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is  called by this name.</verse>
+    <verse no='62'>And they made signs to his father, how he would have him  called.</verse>
+    <verse no='63'>And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His  name is John. And they marvelled all.</verse>
+    <verse no='64'>And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,  and he spake, and praised God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='67'>And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and  prophesied, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='68'>Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and  redeemed his people,</verse>
+    <verse no='69'>And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house  of his servant David;</verse>
+    <verse no='70'>As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have  been since the world began:</verse>
+    <verse no='71'>That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand  of all that hate us;</verse>
+    <verse no='72'>To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to  remember his holy covenant;</verse>
+    <verse no='73'>The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,</verse>
+    <verse no='74'>That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of  the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,</verse>
+    <verse no='75'>In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of  our life.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='77'>To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the  remission of their sins,</verse>
+    <verse no='78'>Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring  from on high hath visited us,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='80'>And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in  the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a  decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor  of Syria.)</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.</verse>
+    <verse no='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; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with  child.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were  accomplished that she should be delivered.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the  field, keeping watch over their flock by night.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For unto you is born this day in the city of David a  Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe  wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the  heavenly host praising God, and saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will  toward men.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and  the babe lying in a manger.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying  which was told them concerning this child.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And all they that heard it wondered at those things which  were told them by the shepherds.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her  heart.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And when the days of her purification according to the law  of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present  him to the Lord;</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that  openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,  according to thy word:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people  Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which  were spoken of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that  the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And when they had performed all things according to the law  of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with  wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of  the passover.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem  after the custom of the feast.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And when they found him not, they turned back again to  Jerusalem, seeking him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding  and answers.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour  with God and man.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>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,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God  came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the  baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,  Master, what shall we do?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is  appointed you.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in  their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto  the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that  Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>

+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,  which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the  son of Juda,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>

+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,  and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he  did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,  command this stone that it be made bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man  shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle  of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast  thyself down from hence:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over  thee, to keep thee:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time  thou dash thy foot against a stone.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt  not tempt the Lord thy God.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed  from him for a season.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and,  as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and  stood up for to read.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture  fulfilled in your ears.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted  in his own country.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a  city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the  prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,  were filled with wrath,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But he passing through the midst of them went his way,</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught  them on the sabbath days.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was  with power.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of  an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou  Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou  art; the Holy One of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And the fame of him went out into every place of the country  round about.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left  her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to  other cities also: for therefore am I sent.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>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,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen  were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch  out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude  of fishes: and their net brake.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees,  saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the  draught of the fishes which they had taken:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook  all, and followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will:  be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins  are forgiven thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying,  Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God  alone?</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said  unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to  say, Rise up and walk?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that  whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were  filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he left all, rose up, and followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his  disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need  not a physician; but they that are sick.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the  bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken  away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are  preserved.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:  for he saith, The old is better.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that  which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of  the sabbath.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would  heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And they were filled with madness; and communed one with  another what they might do to Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and  of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,  James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon  called Zelotes,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which  also was the traitor.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were  healed.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went  virtue out of him, and healed them all.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,  Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.  Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your  consolation.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto  you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so  did their fathers to the false prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to  them which hate you,</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which  despitefully use you.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also  the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy  coat also.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that  taketh away thy goods ask them not again.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to  them likewise.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for  sinners also love those that love them.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank  have ye? for sinners also do even the same.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye  shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the  blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is  perfect shall be as his master.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither  doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which  I say?</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth  them, I will shew you to whom he is like:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the  people, he entered into Capernaum.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him,  was sick, and ready to die.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of  the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,  saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from  the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord,  trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter  under my roof:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:  but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For I also am a man set under authority, having under me  soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come,  and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and  turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say  unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the  servant whole that had been sick.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city  called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there  was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a  widow: and much people of the city was with her.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and  said unto her, Weep not.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him  stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he  delivered him to his mother.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God,  saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath  visited his people.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and  throughout all the region round about.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to  Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist  hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look  we for another?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and  plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave  sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell  John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the  lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised,  to the poor the gospel is preached.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to  speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the  wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft  raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live  delicately, are in kings' courts.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto  you, and much more than a prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my  messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there  is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in  the kingdom of God is greater than he.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,  justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God  against themselves, being not baptized of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of  this generation? and to what are they like?</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and  calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have  not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking  wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say,  Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and  sinners!</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>But wisdom is justified of all her children.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with  him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when  she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an  alabaster box of ointment,</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash  his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and  kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake  within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have  known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she  is a sinner.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to  say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one  owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them  both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he  forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou  this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my  feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the  hairs of her head.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came  in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath  anointed my feet with ointment.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are  forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same  loveth little.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And they that sat at meat with him began to say within  themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in  peace.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every  city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom  of God: and the twelve were with him,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and  infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna,  and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when much people were gathered together, and were come  to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell  by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air  devoured it.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up,  it withered away, because it lacked moisture.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with  it, and choked it.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit  an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that  hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable  be?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of  the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might  not see, and hearing they might not understand.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the  devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should  believe and be saved.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive  the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe,  and in time of temptation fall away.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they  have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and  pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and  good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with  patience.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a  vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick,  that they which enter in may see the light.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;  neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him  shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even  that which he seemeth to have.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not  come at him for the press.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and  thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my  brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a  ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the  other side of the lake. And they launched forth.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a  storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in  jeopardy.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,  we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the  water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being  afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for  he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is  over against Galilee.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the  city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes,  neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him,  and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou  Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the  man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with  chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the  devil into the wilderness.)</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,  Legion: because many devils were entered into him.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And they besought him that he would not command them to go  out into the deep.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the  mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into  them. And he suffered them.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the  swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and  were choked.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and  went and told it in the city and in the country.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,  and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the  feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>They also which saw it told them by what means he that was  possessed of the devils was healed.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes  round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with  great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought  him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God  hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the  whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the  people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a  ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought  him that he would come into his house:</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and  she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had  spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and  immediately her issue of blood stanched.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and  they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and  press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive  that virtue is gone out of me.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came  trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before  all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was  healed immediately.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy  faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the  synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the  Master.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:  believe only, and she shall be made whole.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go  in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of  the maiden.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she  is not dead, but sleepeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and  called, saying, Maid, arise.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he  commanded to give her meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that  they should tell no man what was done.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them  power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal  the sick.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey,  neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have  two coats apiece.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence  depart.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that  city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the  gospel, and healing every where.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him:  and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was  risen from the dead;</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that  one of the old prophets was risen again.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of  whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that  they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert  place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he  received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed  them that had need of healing.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve,  and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the  towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are  here in a desert place.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said,  We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and  buy meat for all this people.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his  disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And they did so, and made them all sit down.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking  up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to  set before the multitude.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken  up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples  were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I  am?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;  and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter  answering said, The Christ of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no  man that thing;</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be  rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and  be raised the third day.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let  him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but  whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world,  and lose himself, or be cast away?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him  shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory,  and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here,  which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,  he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was  altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses  and Elias:</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he  should accomplish at Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:  and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that  stood with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said  unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three  tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not  knowing what he said.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed  them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my  beloved Son: hear him.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they  kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which  they had seen.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were  come down from the hill, much people met him.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master,  I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out;  and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly  departeth from him.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could  not.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse  generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son  hither.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and  tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child,  and delivered him again to his father.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But  while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said  unto his disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of  man shall be delivered into the hands of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from  them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that  saying.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them  should be greatest.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a  child, and set him by him,</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my  name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that  sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out  devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with  us.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not  against us is for us.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should  be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and  entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And they did not receive him, because his face was as though  he would go to Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said,  Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and  consume them, even as Elias did?</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what  manner of spirit ye are of.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but  to save them. And they went to another village.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a  certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou  goest.</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the  air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.</verse>
+    <verse no='59'>And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,  suffer me first to go and bury my father.</verse>
+    <verse no='60'>Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go  thou and preach the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='61'>And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me  first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.</verse>
+    <verse no='62'>And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the  plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='10'>
+    <verse no='1'>After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also,  and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place,  whither he himself would come.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but  the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that  he would send forth labourers into his harvest.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among  wolves.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man  by the way.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to  this house.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon  it: if not, it shall turn to you again.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such  things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not  from house to house.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat  such things as are set before you:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The  kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,  go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do  wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the  kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that  day for Sodom, than for that city.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if  the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done  in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and  ashes.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the  judgment, than for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be  thrust down to hell.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you  despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even  the devils are subject unto us through thy name.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from  heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and  scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by  any means hurt you.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are  subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in  heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank  thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these  things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes:  even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man  knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the  Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately,  Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to  see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear  those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,  saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest  thou?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with  all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and  with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and  thou shalt live.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who  is my neighbour?</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from  Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his  raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and  when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and  looked on him, and passed by on the other side.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:  and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and  wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took  care of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence,  and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and  whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto  him that fell among the thieves?</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus  unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a  certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'  feet, and heard his word.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him,  and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve  alone? bid her therefore that she help me.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou  art careful and troubled about many things:</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good  part, which shall not be taken away from her.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='11'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain  place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach  us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which  art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be  done, as in heaven, so in earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Give us day by day our daily bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that  is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from  evil.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and  shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three  loaves;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I  have nothing to set before him?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the  door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and  give thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him,  because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise  and give him as many as he needeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,  and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh  findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,  will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give  him a serpent?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto  your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy  Spirit to them that ask him?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came  to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people  wondered.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But some of them said, He casteth out devils through  Beelzebub the chief of the devils.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every  kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house  divided against a house falleth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his  kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons  cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt  the kingdom of God is come upon you.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in  peace:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and  overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and  divideth his spoils.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth  not with me scattereth.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh  through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will  return unto my house whence I came out.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more  wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last  state of that man is worse than the first.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain  woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is  the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word  of God, and keep it.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And when the people were gathered thick together, he began  to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall  no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also  the Son of man be to this generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with  the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the  utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a  greater than Solomon is here.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this  generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of  Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a  secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they  which come in may see the light.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye  is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is  evil, thy body also is full of darkness.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not  darkness.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part  dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a  candle doth give thee light.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine  with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not  first washed before dinner.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean  the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of  ravening and wickedness.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make  that which is within also?</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,  all things are clean unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and  all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these  ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in  the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are  as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not  aware of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,  thus saying thou reproachest us also.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men  with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the  burdens with one of your fingers.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets,  and your fathers killed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your  fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them  prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the  foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which  perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It  shall be required of this generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of  knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in  ye hindered.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the  Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of  many things:</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of  his mouth, that they might accuse him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='12'>
+    <verse no='1'>In the mean time, when there were gathered together an  innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon  another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of  the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;  neither hid, that shall not be known.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be  heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets  shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that  kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which  after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you,  Fear him.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of  them is forgotten before God?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear  not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men,  him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the  angels of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it  shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy  Ghost it shall not be forgiven.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto  magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall  answer, or what ye shall say:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye  ought to say.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my  brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider  over you?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of  covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the  things which he possesseth.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a  certain rich man brought forth plentifully:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,  because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and  build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid  up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall  be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast  provided?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not  rich toward God.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you,  Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body,  what ye shall put on.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>The life is more than meat, and the body is more than  raiment.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which  neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more  are ye better than the fowls?</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature  one cubit?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why  take ye thought for the rest?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin  not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not  arrayed like one of these.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the  field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he  clothe you, O ye of little faith?</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,  neither be ye of doubtful mind.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:  and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things  shall be added unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good  pleasure to give you the kingdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags  which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no  thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord,  when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,  they may open unto him immediately.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh  shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself,  and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the  third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known  what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have  suffered his house to be broken through.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an  hour when ye think not.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable  unto us, or even to all?</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise  steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give  them their portion of meat in due season?</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall  find so doing.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over  all that he hath.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth  his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to  eat and drink, and to be drunken;</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh  not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in  sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared  not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with  many stripes.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of  stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is  given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed  much, of him they will ask the more.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it  be already kindled?</verse>

+    <verse no='53'>The father shall be divided against the son, and the son  against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter  against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and  the daughter in law against her mother in law.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out  of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.</verse>

+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>There were present at that season some that told him of the  Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these  Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered  such things?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all  likewise perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and  slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in  Jerusalem?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all  likewise perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree  planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and  found none.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these  three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut  it down; why cumbereth it the ground?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year  also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou  shalt cut it down.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of  infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise  lift up herself.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto  her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made  straight, and glorified God.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,  because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the  people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them  therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth  not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the  stall, and lead him away to watering?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom  Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on  the sabbath day?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were  ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that  were done by him.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and  whereunto shall I resemble it?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and  cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the  fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of  God?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three  measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and  journeying toward Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved?  And he said unto them,</verse>

+    <verse no='25'>When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut  to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door,  saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you,  I know you not whence ye are:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy  presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;  depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall  see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom  of God, and you yourselves thrust out.</verse>

+    <verse no='31'>The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying  unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.</verse>

+  <chapter no='14'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the  chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had  the dropsy.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,  saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him,  and let him go;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or  an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the  sabbath day?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And they could not answer him again to these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when  he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down  in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of  him;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give  this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest  room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend,  go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that  sit at meat with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that  humbleth himself shall be exalted.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a  dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy  kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a  recompence be made thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the  lame, the blind:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:  for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these  things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the  kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper,  and bade many:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were  bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The  first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs  go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go  to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I  cannot come.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then  the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly  into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor,  and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast  commanded, and yet there is room.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways  and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden  shall taste of my supper.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and  said unto them,</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,  and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own  life also, he cannot be my disciple.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,  cannot be my disciple.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not  down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish  it?</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not  able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Or what king, going to make war against another king,  sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten  thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?</verse>

+    <verse no='34'>Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour,  wherewith shall it be seasoned?</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to  hear him.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man  receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he spake this parable unto them, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of  them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go  after that which is lost, until he find it?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,  rejoicing.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and  neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my  sheep which was lost.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over  one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons,  which need no repentance.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose  one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek  diligently till she find it?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her  neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the  piece which I had lost.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of  the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And he said, A certain man had two sons:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me  the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his  living.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And not many days after the younger son gathered all  together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his  substance with riotous living.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in  that land; and he began to be in want.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;  and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that  the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired  servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish  with hunger!</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,  Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one  of thy hired servants.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a  great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and  fell on his neck, and kissed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against  heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best  robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his  feet:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us  eat, and be merry:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost,  and is found. And they began to be merry.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew  nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And he called one of the servants, and asked what these  things meant.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father  hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and  sound.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his  father out, and intreated him.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do  I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and  yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my  friends:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured  thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all  that I have is thine.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this  thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='16'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain  rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that  he had wasted his goods.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear  this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no  longer steward.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for  my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am  ashamed.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the  stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and  said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto  him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he  said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy  bill, and write fourscore.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had  done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation  wiser than the children of light.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon  of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into  everlasting habitations.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also  in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous  mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another  man's, who shall give you that which is your own?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate  the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and  despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these  things: and they derided him.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves  before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly  esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>The law and the prophets were until John: since that time  the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one  tittle of the law to fail.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,  committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from  her husband committeth adultery.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple  and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid  at his gate, full of sores,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the  rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried  by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was  buried;</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and  seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and  send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool  my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime  receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now  he is comforted, and thou art tormented.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And beside all this, between us and you there is a great  gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;  neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou  wouldest send him to my father's house:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them,  lest they also come into this place of torment.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets;  let them hear them.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them  from the dead, they will repent.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the  prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the  dead.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='17'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that  offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about  his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of  these little ones.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against  thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and  seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt  forgive him.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard  seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the  root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding  cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go  and sit down to meat?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may  sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and  afterward thou shalt eat and drink?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that  were commanded him? I trow not.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things  which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have  done that which was our duty to do.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed  through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten  men that were lepers, which stood afar off:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master,  have mercy on us.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves  unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were  cleansed.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned  back, and with a loud voice glorified God,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks:  and he was a Samaritan.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but  where are the nine?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save  this stranger.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made  thee whole.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom  of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God  cometh not with observation:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,  the kingdom of God is within you.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye  shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not  see it.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not  after them, nor follow them.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part  under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also  the Son of man be in his day.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of  this generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the  days of the Son of man.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were  given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the  flood came, and destroyed them all.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat,  they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire  and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is  revealed.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his  stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that  is in the field, let him likewise not return back.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Remember Lot's wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and  whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed;  the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be  taken, and the other left.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and  the other left.</verse>

+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='18'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought  always to pray, and not to faint;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,  neither regarded man:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him,  saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within  himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest  by her continual coming she weary me.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and  night unto him, though he bear long with them?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless  when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in  themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,  and the other a publican.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I  thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust,  adulterers, or even as this publican.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I  possess.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so  much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be  merciful to me a sinner.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather  than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased;  and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch  them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little  children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the  kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the  kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what  shall I do to inherit eternal life?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is  good, save one, that is, God.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do  not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father  and thy mother.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet  lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto  the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was  very rich.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How  hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,  than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he said, The things which are impossible with men are  possible with God.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no  man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or  children, for the kingdom of God's sake,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time,  and in the world to come life everlasting.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them,  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the  prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be  mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the  third day he shall rise again.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And they understood none of these things: and this saying  was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho,  a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy  on me.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold  his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy  on me.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him:  and when he was come near, he asked him,</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he  said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath  saved thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And immediately he received his sight, and followed him,  glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto  God.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='19'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the  chief among the publicans, and he was rich.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the  press, because he was little of stature.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to  see him: for he was to pass that way.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,  and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I  must abide at thy house.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was  gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord,  the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing  from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this  house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which  was lost.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And as they heard these things, he added and spake a  parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought  that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far  country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten  pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,  saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having  received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called  unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much  every man had gained by trading.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten  pounds.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou  hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten  cities.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained  five pounds.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound,  which I have kept laid up in a napkin:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou  takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not  sow.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge  thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man,  taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that  at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the  pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be  given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken  away from him.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign  over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to  Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and  Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his  disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the  which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man  sat: loose him, and bring him hither.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye  say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he  had said unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said  unto them, Why loose ye the colt?</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And they said, The Lord hath need of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments  upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the  mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice  and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had  seen;</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the  Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto  him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if  these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over  it,</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy  day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from  thine eyes.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall  cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on  every side,</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children  within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;  because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that  sold therein, and them that bought;</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of  prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and  the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And could not find what they might do: for all the people  were very attentive to hear him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='20'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught  the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests  and the scribes came upon him with the elders,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest  thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one  thing; and answer me:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,  From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for  they be persuaded that John was a prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what  authority I do these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain  man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a  far country for a long time.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that  they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen  beat him, and sent him away empty.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also,  and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and  cast him out.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will  send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among  themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the  inheritance may be ours.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What  therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give  the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is  written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the  head of the corner?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on  whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought  to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived  that he had spoken this parable against them.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should  feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that  so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest  and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but  teachest the way of God truly:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why  tempt ye me?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it?  They answered and said, Caesar's.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the  things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And they could not take hold of his words before the people:  and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that  there is any resurrection; and they asked him,</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother  die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother  should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a  wife, and died without children.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also:  and they left no children, and died.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Last of all the woman died also.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for  seven had her to wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this  world marry, and are given in marriage:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that  world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given  in marriage:</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the  angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the  resurrection.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,  when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and  the God of Jacob.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all  live unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou  hast well said.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's  son?</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said  unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his  disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes,  and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the  synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long  prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='21'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts  into the treasury.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two  mites.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow  hath cast in more than they all:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the  offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living  that she had.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with  goodly stones and gifts, he said,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in  the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall  not be thrown down.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these  things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to  pass?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many  shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near:  go ye not therefore after them.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not  terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not  by and by.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation,  and kingdom against kingdom:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and  famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall  there be from heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and  persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons,  being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And it shall turn to you for a testimony.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before  what ye shall answer:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your  adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and  kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to  death.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But there shall not an hair of your head perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>In your patience possess ye your souls.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then  know that the desolation thereof is nigh.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and  let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that  are in the countries enter thereinto.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which  are written may be fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give  suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and  wrath upon this people.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be  led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down  of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in  the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the  sea and the waves roaring;</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after  those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven  shall be shaken.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud  with power and great glory.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,  and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all  the trees;</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own  selves that summer is now nigh at hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know  ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,  till all be fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not  pass away.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be  overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,  and so that day come upon you unawares.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the  face of the whole earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be  accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,  and to stand before the Son of man.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at  night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of  Olives.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And all the people came early in the morning to him in the  temple, for to hear him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='22'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called  the Passover.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill  him; for they feared the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of  the number of the twelve.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and  captains, how he might betray him unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto  them in the absence of the multitude.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover  must be killed.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the  passover, that we may eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the  city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow  him into the house where he entereth in.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master  saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the  passover with my disciples?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there  make ready.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they  made ready the passover.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve  apostles with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat  this passover with you before I suffer:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until  it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this,  and divide it among yourselves:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the  vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave  unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in  remembrance of me.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the  new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on  the table.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but  woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it  was that should do this thing.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And there was also a strife among them, which of them should  be accounted the greatest.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise  lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are  called benefactors.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you,  let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that  serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that  serveth.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath  appointed unto me;</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit  on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired  to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and  when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both  into prison, and to death.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow  this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and  scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let  him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him  sell his garment, and buy one.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be  accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for  the things concerning me have an end.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he  said unto them, It is enough.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of  Olives; and his disciples also followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that  ye enter not into temptation.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and  kneeled down, and prayed,</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:  nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,  strengthening him.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his  sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his  disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye  enter into temptation.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was  called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto  Jesus to kiss him.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of  man with a kiss?</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>When they which were about him saw what would follow, they  said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and  cut off his right ear.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he  touched his ear, and healed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the  temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as  against a thief, with swords and staves?</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth  no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the  high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall,  and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and  earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art  also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.</verse>
+    <verse no='59'>And about the space of one hour after another confidently  affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a  Galilaean.</verse>
+    <verse no='60'>And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And  immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.</verse>
+    <verse no='61'>And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter  remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the  cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.</verse>
+    <verse no='62'>And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.</verse>
+    <verse no='63'>And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.</verse>
+    <verse no='64'>And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the  face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='65'>And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.</verse>
+    <verse no='66'>And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the  chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their  council, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='67'>Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I  tell you, ye will not believe:</verse>
+    <verse no='68'>And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.</verse>
+    <verse no='69'>Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the  power of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='70'>Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he  said unto them, Ye say that I am.</verse>
+    <verse no='71'>And they said, What need we any further witness? for we  ourselves have heard of his own mouth.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='23'>
+    <verse no='1'>And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto  Pilate.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow  perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying  that he himself is Christ a King.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?  And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I  find no fault in this man.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the  people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this  place.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were  a Galilaean.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's  jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem  at that time.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was  desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things  of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered  him nothing.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently  accused him.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked  him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends  together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests  and the rulers and the people,</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one  that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before  you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye  accuse him:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing  worthy of death is done unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>I will therefore chastise him, and release him.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the  feast.)</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man,  and release unto us Barabbas:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for  murder, was cast into prison.)</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he  done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise  him, and let him go.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he  might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests  prevailed.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder  was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to  their will.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a  Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross,  that he might bear it after Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And there followed him a great company of people, and of  women, which also bewailed and lamented him.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem,  weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall  say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the  paps which never gave suck.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us;  and to the hills, Cover us.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be  done in the dry?</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to  be put to death.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And when they were come to the place, which is called  Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the  right hand, and the other on the left.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not  what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with  them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he  be Christ, the chosen of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and  offering him vinegar,</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And a superscription also was written over him in letters of  Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,  saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou  fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our  deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest  into thy kingdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day  shalt thou be with me in paradise.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness  over all the earth until the ninth hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was  rent in the midst.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,  into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up  the ghost.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,  saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And all the people that came together to that sight,  beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and  returned.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him  from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and  he was a good man, and a just:</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of  them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself  waited for the kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in  a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,  followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and  rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='24'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the  morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they  had prepared, and certain others with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord  Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,  behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the  earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you  when he was yet in Galilee,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of  sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And they remembered his words,</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things  unto the eleven, and to all the rest.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of  James, and other women that were with them, which told these things  unto the apostles.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they  believed them not.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping  down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,  wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village  called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And they talked together of all these things which had  happened.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and  reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he said unto them, What manner of communications are  these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said  unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the  things which are come to pass there in these days?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,  Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and  word before God and all the people:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be  condemned to death, and have crucified him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>But we trusted that it had been he which should have  redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since  these things were done.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Yea, and certain women also of our company made us  astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that  they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And certain of them which were with us went to the  sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw  not.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to  believe all that the prophets have spoken:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter  into his glory?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded  unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and  he made as though he would have gone further.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is  toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took  bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he  vanished out of their sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within  us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the  scriptures?</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem,  and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to  Simon.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And they told what things were done in the way, and how he  was known of them in breaking of bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of  them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that  they had seen a spirit.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do  thoughts arise in your hearts?</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,  and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and  his feet.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he  said unto them, Have ye here any meat?</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an  honeycomb.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And he took it, and did eat before them.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake  unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,  which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the  psalms, concerning me.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then opened he their understanding, that they might  understand the scriptures,</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved  Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached  in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And ye are witnesses of these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but  tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from  on high.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up  his hands, and blessed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted  from them, and carried up into heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with  great joy:</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing  God. Amen.</verse>
