27 Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stǎt'ūre?*

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin;

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

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is 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'fore no thought for the morrow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

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

5 Thou hypocrite! first 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.

8 For every one that ǎsketh, rēcei'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 dēstruç'tión, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which lea'deth unto life, and few there be that find it.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.† Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

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

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and çăst 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.

22 Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not proph'. seth.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work in-iq'ui-ty.*

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

25 And the rain descĕn'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.

10 When Je'şus 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.

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

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 çăst out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnash'ing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast belie'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 touch'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 T Now, when Jē'şus saw great multitudes about' him, he gave commànd'měnt to depart unto the other side.

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

said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23 T And when he was entered into ship, his disciples followed

him.

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 càlm.

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 Ger-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 çăst 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 wâ

ters.

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 devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jē'şus: and when they saw him, they besôught him that he would depart out of their coasts.

CHAP. IX. Matthew the apostle called. ND he entered into a ship, and påssed over and came into his 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 hearts?

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

7 And he ǎrōşe, 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 And, as Je'şus passed 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 ărōşe, 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?
