29 And yet I say unto you, That eren Sól'o-mŏn, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clōthe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is çăst into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you? O ye of little faith!

31 There'fore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clōth'ed?

32 (For ǎfter all these things do the Gen'tiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take there'före no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that ǎsketh, rẽcei'veth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Fà'ther, which is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

12 There'fore all things what'sōěv-ér ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruç'tión, and many there be which go in there

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite! first çăst out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy bróth'er's eye.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and căst into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith‡ unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Fà'ther which is in heaven.

24 ¶ There'fore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descěn'ded, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descen'ded, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

28 T And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people wère astonished at his doc'trine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

2 And, behold, there came a lěp'er and wór'ship-ped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his lěp'rosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shewt thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Mo'şès çomman'ded, for a těs'ti-món-y unto them.

5 T And when Jē'şus was entered into Ca-per'na-um, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the pâlsy, griev'oùs-ly tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion ǎnswered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having sōl'diérs‡ under me: and Í say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to ănóther, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, ad he doeth it.

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 Is'ra-ěl.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Ã'braham, and I'şăaç, and Jā'çõb, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer dàrkness: there shall be weeping and gnash'ing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast bēlié'ved, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the self same hour.

14 ¶ And when Jesus was come into Pe'tér's house, he saw his wife's móther laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he toŭch'ed her hand, and the fever left her; and she ǎröşe and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were poş-şess'ed with devils, and he çăst out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick;

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by E-sa'i-as the prophet, saying, Himself took our in-fir'mi-ties, and bare our sicknesses.

18 Now, when Jē'şus saw great multitudes about' him, he gave commànd'měnt to depart unto the other side.

19 And a cĕr'tain scribe came, and said unto him, Mà'ster, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

24 And, behold, there ărōşe a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was çóv'ered with the waves: but he was asleep'.

25 And his disciples came to him, and ǎwōke him, saying, Lord, save us: we pĕr'ish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why àre ye fear'fûl? O ye of little faith! Then he ǎrōşe, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great çàlm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 28 T And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gĕr-ge-senes', there met him two poşşess'ed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

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?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besôught him, saying, If thou căst us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and pĕr'ish-ed in the wâters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing; and what was befallen to the poş-şess'ed of the

own city.

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the pâlsy, 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.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphe'meth.

4And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore think ye evil in your heàrts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arişe and wâlk?

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 pâlsy,) Arişe, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he ǎroşe, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9 T And, as Je'şus păssed forth from thence, he saw a man named Mat'thew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he ǎrōşe, and followed him.

10 T And it came to pass, as Jē şus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Phǎr'i-sēēs saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Mà'ster with publicans and sinners?

12 But, when Jē'şus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that àre sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have měrcy, and net săç'ri-fiçe: for I am not come to call the righ'te-ous, but sinners to repen tance.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles; else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles pĕr'ish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are pre-şĕrv'ed.

29 Then touch'ed he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jē'şus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were de parted, spread abroâd his fame in all that country.

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man po şess'ed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was çăst out, the dumb spake and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Is'ra-ěl.

19 And Jesus ǎroşe, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 T (And, behold, a wom'an, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touch'ed the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him ǎbout', and when he saw her, he said, Dâughter, be of good cóm'fórt; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the wom'an was made whole from that hour.)

5 T These twelve Jē'şus sent forth, and comman'ded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Ģen'tiles, and into any city of the Sa-măr'i-tăns, enter ye not:

6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Is'ra-ěl.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lěp'ers, raise the dead, çăst out devils: freely ye have recei'ved, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet stāves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

11 And into what'sō-ěv-ér city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there ǎbīde till ye go thence.

12 And when ye come into an house, sălute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against* their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye int ǎnóther: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Is'ra-ěl, till the Son of Man be come.

24 The disciple is not ǎbóve his màster, nor the servant àbóve his lord.

25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Bē-ěl'ze-bub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

26 Fear them not, there'fōre: for there is nothing çóv'ered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

18 And ye shall be brought before góv'ér-nórs and kings for my sake, for a těs'ti-món-y against' them and the Ģen'tiles.
