26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain manwent down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him
half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed
by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on
the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own
beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave themto the host, and
said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will
repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the
thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou
likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain
woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about
many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away
from her.
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his
disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not
into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight,
and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my
children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of
his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it

shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask
a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was
gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation; and a house dividedagainst a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I
cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast themout? therefore shall
they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all
his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest;
and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth itswept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to himseven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they
enter in, and dwell there: and the last stateof that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her
voice, and said unto him, Blessed isthe womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast
sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed arethey that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil
generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the
prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this
generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and
condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon ishere.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it:
for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas ishere.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth itin a secret place, neither under a bushel,
but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is
full of light; but when thine eyeis evil, thy body also isfull of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore befull of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of
light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat
down to meat.

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the
platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Yefools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over
judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in
the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and
the men that walk over themare not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest
us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, yelawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be
borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them,
and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and someof
them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be
required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and
the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in
yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him
vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might
accuse him.
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people,
insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all,
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which
ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no
more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power
to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value
than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also
confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto
him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and untomagistrates, and powers, take ye no
