+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of  David, the son of Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat  Judas and his brethren;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat  Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and  Naasson begat Salmon;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of  Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat  Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia  begat Asa;</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram  begat Ozias;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz  begat Ezekias;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and  Amon begat Josias;</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time  they were carried away to Babylon:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat  Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and  Eliakim begat Azor;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat  Eliud;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and  Matthan begat Jacob;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born  Jesus, who is called Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen  generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are  fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto  Christ are fourteen generations.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his  mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was  found with child of the Holy Ghost.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing  to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of  the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of  David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is  conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his  name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was  spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth  a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted  is, God with us.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the  Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn  son: and he called his name JESUS.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days  of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to  Jerusalem,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we  have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,  and all Jerusalem with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes  of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be  born.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it  is written by the prophet,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least  among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that  shall rule my people Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,  enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search  diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me  word again, that I may come and worship him also.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the  star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and  stood over where the young child was.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great  joy.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when they were come into the house, they saw the young  child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when  they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold,  and frankincense and myrrh.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And being warned of God in a dream that they should not  return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord  appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child  and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring  thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by  night, and departed into Egypt:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be  fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of  Egypt have I called my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,  was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that  were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old  and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of  the wise men.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the  prophet, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping,  and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be  comforted, because they are not.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord  appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and  go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young  child's life.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and  came into the land of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the  room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,  being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of  Galilee:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it  might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called  a Nazarene.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the  wilderness of Judaea,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,  saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way  of the Lord, make his paths straight.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a  leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild  honey.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the  region round about Jordan,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to  his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned  you to flee from the wrath to come?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to  our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to  raise up children unto Abraham.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:  therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,  and cast into the fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that  cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to  bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his  floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the  chaff with unquenchable fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be  baptized of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of  thee, and comest thou to me?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now:  for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of  the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the  Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,  in whom I am well pleased.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to  be tempted of the devil.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was  afterward an hungred.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the  Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live  by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of  God.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth  him on a pinnacle of the temple,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself  down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning  thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou  dash thy foot against a stone.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not  tempt the Lord thy God.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high  mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory  of them;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if  thou wilt fall down and worship me.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is  written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou  serve.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and  ministered unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he  departed into Galilee;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which  is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the  prophet, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way  of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to  them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:  for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,  Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea:  for they were fishers.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you  fishers of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James  the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their  father, mending their nets; and he called them.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And they immediately left the ship and their father, and  followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their  synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all  manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought  unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and  torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which  were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And there followed him great multitudes of people from  Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and  from beyond Jordan.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and  when he was set, his disciples came unto him:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of  heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after  righteousness: for they shall be filled.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the  children of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness'  sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute  you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in  heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his  savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for  nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill  cannot be hid.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel,  but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your  good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the  prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one  jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be  fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least  commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in  the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same  shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall  exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no  case enter into the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou  shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the  judgment:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother  without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall  say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but  whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there  rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first  be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the  way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge,  and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into  prison.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out  thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou  shalt not commit adultery:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to  lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it  from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should  perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it  from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should  perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let  him give her a writing of divorcement:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,  saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:  and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old  time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord  thine oaths:</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for  it is God's throne:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by  Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not  make one hair white or black.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for  whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and  a tooth for a tooth:</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever  shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy  coat, let him have thy cloak also.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him  twain.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow  of thee turn not thou away.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy  neighbour, and hate thine enemy.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse  you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which  despitefully use you, and persecute you;</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>That ye may be the children of your Father which is in  heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and  sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do  not even the publicans the same?</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than  others? do not even the publicans so?</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in  heaven is perfect.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of  them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet  before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,  that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their  reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what  thy right hand doeth:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth  in secret himself shall reward thee openly.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites  are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the  corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto  you, They have their reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when  thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy  Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen  do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth  what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in  heaven, Hallowed be thy name.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in  heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Give us this day our daily bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father  will also forgive you:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will  your Father forgive your trespasses.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad  countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto  men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy  face;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father  which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward  thee openly.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth  and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither  moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor  steal:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be  single, thy whole body shall be full of light.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of  darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great  is that darkness!</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>No man 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='25'>Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,  what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what  ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than  raiment?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do  they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth  them. Are ye not much better than they?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his  stature?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of  the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory  was not arrayed like one of these.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to  day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more  clothe you, O ye of little faith?</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,  What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your  heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;  and all these things shall be added unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow  shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is  the evil thereof.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>Judge not, that ye be not judged.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and  with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's  eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the  mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own  eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy  brother's eye.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye  your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and  turn again and rend you.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;  knock, and it shall be opened unto you:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh  findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will  he give him a stone?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto  your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give  good things to them that ask him?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do  to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and  broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which  go in thereat:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which  leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's  clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of  thorns, or figs of thistles?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a  corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a  corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,  and cast into the fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter  into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father  which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not  prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in  thy name done many wonderful works?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart  from me, ye that work iniquity.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth  them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a  rock:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds  blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded  upon a rock.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth  them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house  upon the sand:</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds  blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of  it.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the  people were astonished at his doctrine:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the  scribes.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes  followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,  Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I  will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy  way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses  commanded, for a testimony unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto  him a centurion, beseeching him,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the  palsy, grievously tormented.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that  thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my  servant shall be healed.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me:  and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he  cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that  followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no,  not in Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and  west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the  kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer  darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou  hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in  the selfsame hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his  wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she  arose, and ministered unto them.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were  possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and  healed all that were sick:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the  prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave  commandment to depart unto the other side.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will  follow thee whithersoever thou goest.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the  birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay  his head.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me  first to go and bury my father.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury  their dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,  insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,  save us: we perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little  faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was  a great calm.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,  that even the winds and the sea obey him!</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And when he was come to the other side into the country of  the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of  the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with  thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before  the time?</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine  feeding.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,  suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they  went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran  violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the  city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of  the devils.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when  they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their  coasts.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into  his own city.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,  lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the  palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,  This man blasphemeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye  evil in your hearts?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or  to say, Arise, and walk?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth  to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take  up thy bed, and go unto thine house.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And he arose, and departed to his house.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and  glorified God, which had given such power unto men.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named  Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him,  Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house,  behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his  disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,  Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be  whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy,  and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners  to repentance.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we  and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the  bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the  days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then  shall they fast.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for  that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the  rent is made worse.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the  bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but  they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a  certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now  dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of  blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his  garment:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment,  I shall be whole.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,  Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the  woman was made whole from that hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the  minstrels and the people making a noise,</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but  sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her  by the hand, and the maid arose.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,  crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to  him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?  They said unto him, Yea, Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith  be it unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,  saying, See that no man know it.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in  all that country.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man  possessed with a devil.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the  multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the  prince of the devils.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching  in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and  healing every sickness and every disease among the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion  on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep  having no shepherd.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is  plenteous, but the labourers are few;</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send  forth labourers into his harvest.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='10'>
+    <verse no='1'>And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he  gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal  all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,  Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of  Zebedee, and John his brother;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;  James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,  Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the  Samaritans enter ye not:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at  hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out  devils: freely ye have received, freely give.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither  shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who  in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when ye come into an house, salute it.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but  if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words,  when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your  feet.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the  land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be  ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the  councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my  sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye  shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall  speak.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father  which speaketh in you.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and  the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their  parents, and cause them to be put to death.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he  that endureth to the end shall be saved.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into  another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the  cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above  his lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and  the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house  Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that  shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and  what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to  kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul  and body in hell.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them  shall not fall on the ground without your Father.</verse>

+    <verse no='31'>Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many  sparrows.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I  confess also before my Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny  before my Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not  to send peace, but a sword.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,  and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against  her mother in law.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy  of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is  not worthy of me.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth  his life for my sake shall find it.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me  receiveth him that sent me.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall  receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in  the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little  ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say  unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.</verse>

+  <chapter no='11'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of  commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to  preach in their cities.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,  he sent two of his disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we  look for another?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again  those things which ye do hear and see:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers  are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor  have the gospel preached to them.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes  concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed  shaken with the wind?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft  raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto  you, and more than a prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my  messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women  there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding  he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom  of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to  come.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto  children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced;  we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He  hath a devil.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say,  Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and  sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his  mighty works were done, because they repented not:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if  the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and  Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and  Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be  brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in  thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the  land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O  Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things  from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man  knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,  save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I  will give you rest.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and  lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.</verse>

+  <chapter no='12'>
+    <verse no='1'>At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn;  and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn  and to eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold,  thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when  he was an hungred, and they that were with him;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the  shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which  were with him, but only for the priests?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days  the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than  the temple.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy,  and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And when he was departed thence, he went into their  synagogue:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered.  And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days?  that they might accuse him.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you,  that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath  day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is  lawful to do well on the sabbath days.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he  stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,  how they might destroy him.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and  great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And charged them that they should not make him known:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the  prophet, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom  my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall  shew judgment to the Gentiles.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his  voice in the streets.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he  not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind,  and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both  spake and saw.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the  son of David?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth  not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every  kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city  or house divided against itself shall not stand:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;  how shall then his kingdom stand?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your  children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the  kingdom of God is come unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and  spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will  spoil his house.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth  not with me scattereth abroad.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy  shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost  shall not be forgiven unto men.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it  shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,  it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the  world to come.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make  the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his  fruit.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good  things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth  forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth  forth evil things.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall  speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words  thou shalt be condemned.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,  saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous  generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to  it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's  belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the  heart of the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this  generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the  preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with  this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost  parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a  greater than Solomon is here.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh  through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I  came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and  garnished.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits  more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the  last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be  also unto this wicked generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and  his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren  stand without, desiring to speak with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my  mother? and who are my brethren?</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and  said, Behold my mother and my brethren!</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in  heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea  side.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so  that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the  shore.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,  Behold, a sower went forth to sow;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the  fowls came and devoured them up:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:  and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because  they had no root, they withered away.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and  choked them:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit,  some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou  unto them in parables?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you  to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not  given.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have  more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away  even that he hath.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing  see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which  saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing  ye shall see, and shall not perceive:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are  dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they  should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should  understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for  they hear.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous  men 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='18'>Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and  understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away  that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the  way side.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is  he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for  when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by  he is offended.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>He also that received seed among the thorns is he that  heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of  riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But he that received seed into the good ground is he that  heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and  bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom  of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among  the wheat, and went his way.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,  then appeared the tares also.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,  Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath  it tares?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants  said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root  up also the wheat with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of  harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,  and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my  barn.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom  of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and  sowed in his field:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is  grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the  birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is  like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of  meal, till the whole was leavened.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;  and without a parable spake he not unto them:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,  saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which  have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:  and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of  the tares of the field.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed  is the Son of man;</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>The field is the world; the good seed are the children of  the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the  end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;  so shall it be in the end of this world.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall  gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do  iniquity;</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be  wailing and gnashing of teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the  kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a  field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof  goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,  seeking goodly pearls:</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and  sold all that he had, and bought it.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was  cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down,  and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall  come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be  wailing and gnashing of teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?  They say unto him, Yea, Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is  instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an  householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and  old.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these  parables, he departed thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in  their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence  hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called  Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath  this man all these things?</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A  prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own  house.</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>And he did not many mighty works there because of their  unbelief.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='14'>
+    <verse no='1'>At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is  risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth  themselves in him.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him  in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have  her.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when he would have put him to death, he feared the  multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias  danced before them, and pleased Herod.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever  she would ask.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give  me here John Baptist's head in a charger.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake,  and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the  damsel: and she brought it to her mother.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,  and went and told Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a  desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they  followed him on foot out of the cities.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was  moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,  This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude  away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them  to eat.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two  fishes.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>He said, Bring them hither to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and  took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he  blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the  disciples to the multitude.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of  the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside  women and children.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into  a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the  multitudes away.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a  mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there  alone.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with  waves: for the wind was contrary.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,  walking on the sea.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were  troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good  cheer; it is I; be not afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me  come unto thee on the water.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the  ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and  beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught  him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou  doubt?</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,  saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And when they were gone over, they came into the land of  Gennesaret.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they  sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all  that were diseased;</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his  garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='15'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of  Jerusalem, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?  for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also  transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:  and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,  It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.  Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your  tradition.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and  honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the  commandments of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and  understand:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that  which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou  that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly  Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if  the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this  parable.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the  mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth  from the heart; and they defile the man.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,  adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with  unwashen hands defileth not a man.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre  and Sidon.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,  and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of  David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and  besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost  sheep of the house of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the  children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs  which fall from their masters' table.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy  faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made  whole from that very hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea  of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those  that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them  down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb  to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to  see: and they glorified the God of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have  compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three  days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting,  lest they faint in the way.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so  much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they  said, Seven, and a few little fishes.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave  thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to  the multitude.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of  the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women  and children.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into  the coasts of Magdala.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='16'>
+    <verse no='1'>The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting  desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say,  It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the  sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of  the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and  there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet  Jonas. And he left them, and departed.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had  forgotten to take bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the  leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we  have taken no bread.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of  little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought  no bread?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves  of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many  baskets ye took up?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to  you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the  Pharisees and of the Sadducees?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the  leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the  Sadducees.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he  asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist:  some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the  Son of the living God.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,  Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but  my Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this  rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail  against it.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:  and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and  whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man  that he was Jesus the Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,  how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the  elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised  again the third day.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it  far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me,  Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things  that be of God, but those that be of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come  after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and  whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole  world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for  his soul?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father  with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his  works.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which  shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his  kingdom.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='17'>
+    <verse no='1'>And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his  brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as  the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias  talking with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good  for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles;  one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed  them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my  beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face,  and were sore afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not  afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,  save Jesus only.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,  saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again  from the dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the  scribes that Elias must first come?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall  first come, and restore all things.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they  knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise  shall also the Son of man suffer of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of  John the Baptist.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him  a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore  vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse  generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?  bring him hither to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and  the child was cured from that very hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could  not we cast him out?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for  verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye  shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it  shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The  Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be  raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received  tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay  tribute?</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus  prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings  of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of  strangers?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him,  Then are the children free.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the  sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and  when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that  take, and give unto them for me and thee.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='18'>
+    <verse no='1'>At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who  is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the  midst of them,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and  become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of  heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little  child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name  receiveth me.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which  believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged  about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be  that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off,  and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt  or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into  everlasting fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from  thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather  than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for  I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face  of my Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of  them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth  into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he  rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went  not astray.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in  heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and  tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee,  thou hast gained thy brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two  more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be  established.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the  church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as  an heathen man and a publican.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth  shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall  be loosed in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on  earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for  them of my Father which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>For where two or three are gathered together in my name,  there am I in the midst of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my  brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven  times: but, Until seventy times seven.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain  king, which would take account of his servants.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,  which owed him ten thousand talents.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him  to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and  payment to be made.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,  Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and  loosed him, and forgave him the debt.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But the same servant went out, and found one of his  fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on  him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought  him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he  should pay the debt.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very  sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him,  O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou  desiredst me:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy  fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,  till he should pay all that was due unto him.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye  from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='19'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these  sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea  beyond Jordan;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying  unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that  he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and  mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one  flesh?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What  therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a  writing of divorcement, and to put her away?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your  hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it  was not so.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,  except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth  adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit  adultery.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so  with his wife, it is not good to marry.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,  save they to whom it is given.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their  mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of  men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the  kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him  receive it.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then were there brought unto him little children, that he  should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not,  to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what  good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is  none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep  the commandments.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no  murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou  shalt not bear false witness,</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy  neighbour as thyself.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept  from my youth up: what lack I yet?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell  that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in  heaven: and come and follow me.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But when the young man heard that saying, he went away  sorrowful: for he had great possessions.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,  That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go  through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the  kingdom of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,  saying, Who then can be saved?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is  impossible; but with God all things are possible.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have  forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye  which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall  sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones,  judging the twelve tribes of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or  sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my  name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit  everlasting life.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be  first.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='20'>
+    <verse no='1'>For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an  householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into  his vineyard.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,  he sent them into his vineyard.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And he went out about the third hour, and saw others  standing idle in the marketplace,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and  whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did  likewise.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others  standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith  unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that  shall ye receive.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto  his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning  from the last unto the first.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,  they received every man a penny.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But when the first came, they supposed that they should have  received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when they had received it, they murmured against the  goodman of the house,</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast  made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the  day.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no  wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this  last, even as unto thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is  thine eye evil, because I am good?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be  called, but few chosen.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples  apart in the way, and said unto them,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be  betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall  condemn him to death,</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to  scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her  sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,  Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and  the other on the left, in thy kingdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye  able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with  the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and  be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my  right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given  to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation  against the two brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the  princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are  great exercise authority upon them.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be  great among you, let him be your minister;</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your  servant:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but  to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude  followed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when  they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O  Lord, thou son of David.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold  their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,  thou son of David.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will  ye that I shall do unto you?</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and  immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='21'>
+    <verse no='1'>And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to  Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and  straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them,  and bring them unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord  hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was  spoken by the prophet, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto  thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their  clothes, and they set him thereon.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;  others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the multitudes that went before, and that followed,  cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh  in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,  saying, Who is this?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of  Nazareth of Galilee.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them  that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the  moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called  the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he  healed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful  things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,  Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus  saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and  sucklings thou hast perfected praise?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and  he lodged there.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he  hungered.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and  found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit  grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered  away.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How  soon is the fig tree withered away!</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If  ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done  to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou  removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,  believing, ye shall receive.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and  the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By  what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this  authority?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you  one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what  authority I do these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From  heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all  hold John as a prophet.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he  said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came  to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,  and went.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he  answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say  unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That  the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye  believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and  ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which  planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress  in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a  far country:</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his  servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and  killed another, and stoned another.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they  did unto them likewise.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will  reverence my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among  themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize  on his inheritance.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and  slew him.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he  do unto those husbandmen?</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked  men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall  render him the fruits in their seasons.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,  The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of  the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken  from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but  on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his  parables, they perceived that he spake of them.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the  multitude, because they took him for a prophet.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='22'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables,  and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which  made a marriage for his son,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to  the wedding: and they would not come.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which  are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings  are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his  farm, another to his merchandise:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them  spitefully, and slew them.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent  forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their  city.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but  they which were bidden were not worthy.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall  find, bid to the marriage.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered  together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding  was furnished with guests.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a  man which had not on a wedding garment:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not  having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,  and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be  weeping and gnashing of teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For many are called, but few are chosen.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might  entangle him in his talk.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And they sent out unto him their disciples with the  Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the  way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou  regardest not the person of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give  tribute unto Caesar, or not?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye  me, ye hypocrites?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a  penny.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and  superscription?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render  therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the  things that are God's.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left  him, and went their way.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there  is no resurrection, and asked him,</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no  children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his  brother.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when  he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife  unto his brother:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And last of all the woman died also.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the  seven? for they all had her.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing  the scriptures, nor the power of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in  marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not  read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God  of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at  his doctrine.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the  Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,  tempting him, and saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Master, which is the great commandment in the law?</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with  all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>This is the first and great commandment.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy  neighbour as thyself.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked  them,</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say  unto him, The son of David.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him  Lord, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till  I make thine enemies thy footstool?</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any  man from that day forth ask him any more questions.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='23'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe  and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and  lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them  with one of their fingers.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make  broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats  in the synagogues,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men,  Rabbi, Rabbi.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even  Christ; and all ye are brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your  Father, which is in heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even  Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he  that shall humble himself shall be exalted.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye  shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in  yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye  devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore  ye shall receive the greater damnation.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye  compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye  make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall  swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the  gold of the temple, he is a debtor!</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the  temple that sanctifieth the gold?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but  whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the  altar that sanctifieth the gift?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it,  and by all things thereon.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by  him that dwelleth therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of  God, and by him that sitteth thereon.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay  tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier  matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have  done, and not to leave the other undone.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a  camel.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make  clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are  full of extortion and excess.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the  cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are  like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but  are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but  within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the  righteous,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would  not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the  children of them which killed the prophets.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the  damnation of hell?</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,  and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of  them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city  to city:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the  earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son  of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this  generation.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and  stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered  thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her  wings, and ye would not!</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye  shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.</verse>

+  <chapter no='24'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his  disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?  verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon  another, that shall not be thrown down.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came  unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and  what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man  deceive you.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and  shall deceive many.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye  be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is  not yet.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against  kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes,  in divers places.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>All these are the beginning of sorrows.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall  kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one  another, and shall hate one another.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall  wax cold.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be  saved.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the  world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,  spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso  readeth, let him understand:)</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any  thing out of his house:</verse>

+    <verse no='20'>But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither  on the sabbath day:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since  the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And except those days should be shortened, there should no  flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or  there; believe it not.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and  shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,  they shall deceive the very elect.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Behold, I have told you before.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the  desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it  not.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth  even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be  gathered together.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the  sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars  shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:  and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see  the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great  glory.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a  trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,  from one end of heaven to the other.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet  tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know  that it is near, even at the doors.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till  all these things be fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not  pass away.</verse>

+    <verse no='37'>But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the  Son of man be.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>For as in the days that were before the flood they were  eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day  that Noe entered into the ark,</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away;  so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and  the other left.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be  taken, and the other left.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth  come.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in  what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not  have suffered his house to be broken up.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think  not the Son of man cometh.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath  made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?</verse>

+    <verse no='48'>But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord  delayeth his coming;</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and  drink with the drunken;</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh  not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,</verse>

+  <chapter no='25'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten  virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil  with them:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom  cometh; go ye out to meet him.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for  our lamps are gone out.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not  enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for  yourselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they  that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was  shut.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,  open to us.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you  not.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour  wherein the Son of man cometh.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far  country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his  goods.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to  another one; to every man according to his several ability; and  straightway took his journey.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then he that had received the five talents went and traded  with the same, and made them other five talents.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other  two.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But he that had received one went and digged in the earth,  and hid his lord's money.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and  reckoneth with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And so he that had received five talents came and brought  other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five  talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful  servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee  ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,  thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other  talents beside them.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful  servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee  ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Then he which had received the one talent came and said,  Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast  not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:  lo, there thou hast that is thine.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and  slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and  gather where I have not strawed:</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the  exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with  usury.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him  which hath ten talents.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall  have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even  that which he hath.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:  there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the  holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall  separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from  the goats:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats  on the left.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,  ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the  foundation of the world:</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,  and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I  was in prison, and ye came unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw  we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and  clothed thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say  unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my  brethren, ye have done it unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart  from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and  his angels:</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,  and ye gave me no drink:</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye  clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we  thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in  prison, and did not minister unto thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,  Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not  to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the  righteous into life eternal.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='26'>
+    <verse no='1'>And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these  sayings, he said unto his disciples,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover,  and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,  and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who  was called Caiaphas,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and  kill him.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar  among the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the  leper,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very  precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,  To what purpose is this waste?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given  to the poor.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye  the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not  always.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she  did it for my burial.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be  preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman  hath done, be told for a memorial of her.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the  chief priests,</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver  him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the  disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we  prepare for thee to eat the passover?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto  him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at  thy house with my disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they  made ready the passover.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that  one of you shall betray me.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of  them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me  in the dish, the same shall betray me.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto  that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that  man if he had not been born.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master,  is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,  and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this  is my body.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,  saying, Drink ye all of it;</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for  many for the remission of sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this  fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my  Father's kingdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount  of Olives.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because  of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the  sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>But after I am risen again, I will go before you into  Galilee.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be  offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this  night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will  I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,  and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and  began to be sorrowful and very heavy.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful,  even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and  prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from  me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep,  and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the  spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my  Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy  will be done.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were  heavy.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third  time, saying the same words.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep  on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of  man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth  betray me.</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,  and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief  priests and elders of the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,  Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and  kissed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?  Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out  his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high  priest's, and smote off his ear.</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his  place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he  shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it  must be?</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come  out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat  daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets  might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to  Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were  assembled.</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's  palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.</verse>
+    <verse no='59'>Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,  sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;</verse>
+    <verse no='60'>But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet  found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,</verse>
+    <verse no='61'>And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple  of God, and to build it in three days.</verse>
+    <verse no='62'>And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou  nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='63'>But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and  said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us  whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='64'>Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say  unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right  hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='65'>Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath  spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now  ye have heard his blasphemy.</verse>
+    <verse no='66'>What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of  death.</verse>
+    <verse no='67'>Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others  smote him with the palms of their hands,</verse>
+    <verse no='68'>Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote  thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='69'>Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto  him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.</verse>
+    <verse no='70'>But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou  sayest.</verse>
+    <verse no='71'>And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw  him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with  Jesus of Nazareth.</verse>
+    <verse no='72'>And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.</verse>
+    <verse no='73'>And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said  to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth  thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='74'>Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the  man. And immediately the cock crew.</verse>
+    <verse no='75'>And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,  Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and  wept bitterly.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='27'>
+    <verse no='1'>When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders  of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And when they had bound him, they led him away, and  delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was  condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of  silver to the chief priests and elders,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent  blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and  departed, and went and hanged himself.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It  is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the  price of blood.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's  field, to bury strangers in.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto  this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the  prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price  of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked  him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him,  Thou sayest.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he  answered nothing.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things  they witness against thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the  governor marvelled greatly.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the  people a prisoner, whom they would.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto  them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is  called Christ?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent  unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I  have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude  that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the  twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus  which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they  cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that  rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before  the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person:  see ye to it.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,  and on our children.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had  scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common  hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it  upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee  before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on  the head.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off  from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by  name: him they compelled to bear his cross.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that  is to say, a place of a skull,</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when  he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting  lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They  parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>And sitting down they watched him there;</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS  JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the  right hand, and another on the left.</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,</verse>
+    <verse no='40'>And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it  in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from  the cross.</verse>
+    <verse no='41'>Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the  scribes and elders, said,</verse>
+    <verse no='42'>He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King  of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe  him.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have  him: for he said, I am the Son of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='44'>The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the  same in his teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='45'>Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land  unto the ninth hour.</verse>
+    <verse no='46'>And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,  saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why  hast thou forsaken me?</verse>
+    <verse no='47'>Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,  This man calleth for Elias.</verse>
+    <verse no='48'>And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and  filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.</verse>
+    <verse no='49'>The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to  save him.</verse>
+    <verse no='50'>Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up  the ghost.</verse>
+    <verse no='51'>And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from  the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;</verse>
+    <verse no='52'>And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints  which slept arose,</verse>
+    <verse no='53'>And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went  into the holy city, and appeared unto many.</verse>
+    <verse no='54'>Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,  watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done,  they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='55'>And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed  Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:</verse>
+    <verse no='56'>Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James  and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.</verse>
+    <verse no='57'>When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,  named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:</verse>
+    <verse no='58'>He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate  commanded the body to be delivered.</verse>
+    <verse no='59'>And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean  linen cloth,</verse>
+    <verse no='60'>And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in  the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and  departed.</verse>
+    <verse no='61'>And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting  over against the sepulchre.</verse>
+    <verse no='62'>Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,  the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,</verse>
+    <verse no='63'>Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he  was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.</verse>
+    <verse no='64'>Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the  third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and  say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall  be worse than the first.</verse>
+    <verse no='65'>Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it  as sure as ye can.</verse>
+    <verse no='66'>So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the  stone, and setting a watch.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='28'>
+    <verse no='1'>In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the  first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see  the sepulchre.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of  the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from  the door, and sat upon it.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as  snow:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as  dead men.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:  for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the  place where the Lord lay.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from  the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye  see him: lo, I have told you.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and  great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met  them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and  worshipped him.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my  brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came  into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that  were done.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken  counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him  away while we slept.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade  him, and secure you.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and  this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a  mountain where Jesus had appointed them.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some  doubted.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is  given unto me in heaven and in earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in  the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have  commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the  world. Amen.</verse>
