Book of Luke Explained
Title:
As with the other 3 gospels, the title is derived from the author's name.
According to tradition, Luke was a Gentile. The Apostle Paul seems to
confirm this, distinguishing Luke from those who were "from the
circumcision" (Col. 4:11, 14). That would make Luke the only Gentile to pen
any books of Scripture. He is responsible for a significant portion of the
New Testament, having written both this gospel and the book of Acts (see
Author and Date).
Very little is known about Luke. He almost never included personal details
about himself, and nothing definite is known about his background or his
conversion. Both Eusebius and Jerome identified him as a native of Antioch
(which may explain why so much of the book of Acts centers on Antioch
(compare Acts 11:19-27; 13:1-3; 14:26; 15:22-23, 30-35; 18:22-23). Luke was
a frequent companion of the Apostle Paul, at least from the time of Paul's
Macedonian vision (Acts 16:9-10), right up to the time of Paul's martyrdom
(2 Tim. 4:11).
The Apostle Paul referred to Luke as a physician (Col. 4:14). Luke's
interest in medical phenomena is evident in the high profile he gave to
Jesus' healing ministry (e.g., 4:38-40; 5:15-25; 6:17-19; 7:11-15; 8:43-47,
49-56; 9:2, 6, 11; 13:11-13; 14:2-4; 17:12-14; 22:50-51). In Luke's day,
physicians did not have a unique vocabulary of technical terminology; so
when Luke discusses healings and other medical issues, his language is not
markedly different from that of the other gospel writers.
Author - Date:
Ancient testimony is unanimous that Luke ("the beloved physician," Col.
4:14), penned the third Gospel. Modern scholarship has rightly drawn
attention to Luke as the companion volume to Acts; the two works were
certainly written by the same author.
The Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts clearly were written by the same
individual (compare 1:1-4; Acts 1:1). Although he never identified himself
by name, it is clear from his use of "we" in many sections of Acts that he
was a close companion of the Apostle Paul (Acts 16:10-17; 20:5-15; 21:1-18;
27:1 - 28:16). Luke is the only person, among the colleagues Paul mentions
in his own epistles (Col. 4:14; 2 Tim. 4:11; Philemon 24), who fits the
profile of the author of these books. That accords perfectly with the
earliest tradition of the church which unanimously attributed this gospel
to Luke.
Luke and Acts appear to have been written at about the same time, the
gospel of Luke first, then Acts. Combined, they make a 2-volume work
addressed to "Theophilus" (1:3; Acts 1:1 see Background and Setting),
giving a sweeping history of the founding of Christianity, from the birth
of Christ to Paul's imprisonment under house arrest in Rome (Acts
28:30-31).
The book of Acts ends with Paul still in Rome, which leads to the
conclusion that Luke wrote these books from Rome during Paul's imprisonment
there (ca. A.D. 60-62. Luke records Jesus' prophecy of the destruction of
Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (19:42-44; 21:20-24), but makes no mention of the
fulfillment of that prophecy, either here or in Acts. Luke made it a point
to record such prophetic fulfillments (compare Acts 11:28), so it is
extremely unlikely he wrote these books after the Roman invasion of
Jerusalem. Acts also includes no mention of the great persecution that
began under Nero in A.D. 64. In addition, many scholars set the date of
James' martyrdom at A.D. 62, and if that was before Luke completed his
history, he certainly would have mentioned it. So, the most likely date for
this gospel is A.D. 60 or 61.
Background - Setting:
Luke dedicated his works to "most excellent Theophilus" (literally "lover
of God", 1:3; compare Acts 1:1). This designation, which may be a nickname
or a pseudonym, is accompanied by a formal address ("most excellent"),
possible signifying that "Theophilus" was a well know Roman dignitary,
perhaps one of those who had turned to Christ in "Caesar's household"
(Phil. 4:22).
It is almost certain however, that Luke envisioned a much broader audience
for his work than this one man. The dedications at the outset of Luke and
Acts are like the formal dedication in a modern book. They are not like the
address of an epistle.
Luke expressly stated that his knowledge of the events recorded in his
gospel came from the reports of those who were eyewitnesses (1:1-2),
strongly implying that he himself was not an eyewitness. It is clear from
his prologue that his aim was to give an ordered account of the events of
Jesus' life, but this does not mean he always followed a strict
chronological order in all instances (e.g. see note on 3:20).
By acknowledging that he had compiled his account from various extant
sources (see note on 1:1), Luke was not disclaiming divine inspiration for
his work. The process of inspiration never bypasses or overrides the
personalities, vocabularies, and styles of the human authors of Scripture.
The unique traits of the human authors are always indelibly stamped on all
the books of scripture. Luke's research is no exception to this rule. The
research itself was orchestrated by divine Providence. And in his writing,
Luke was moved by the Spirit of God (2 Peter 1:21). Therefore, his account
is infallibly true (see note on 1:3).
Some modern interpreters discount Luke's authorship, but they fall short of
proposing a convincing alternative to the ancient witnesses. These scholars
feel that Luke's outlook is so different from Paul's that no companion of
Paul (see Col. 4:14; 2 Tim. 4:11; Philemon 24), and the "we" sections of
(Acts: 16:10-17; 20:5-21:18; 27:1-28:16), could have written Luke and Acts.
Such arguments are by no means convincing. The reader of the New Testament
is not compelled to choose between Luke and Paul. Differences in outlook
may as easily count in favor of Luke's authorship as against.
While Luke was not himself an eyewitness of the gospel events (1:2), he had
access to writings about, and eyewitnesses to, them. He had sifted sources
carefully. Many feel that he must have made use of Mark's gospel. Some have
accordingly stressed his contribution as a historian, a discoverer and
preserver of facts. Others see in him primarily a theologian, an expositor
of the meaning of facts. He is really both. He presents both the meaning of
the gospel saga and its factual ground. He produces what is, by the
reckoning of many, the gospel most attractive in style and poignant in
message that we possess.
Luke implies that he wrote his gospel prior to writing Acts (Acts 1:1).
Acts ends with Paul in prison, about A.D. 62. Many scholars of various
persuasions thus agree on a date near A.D. 60-62 for the writing of Luke.
Those who date it much later (A.D. 80-90, or even in the second century) do
so for reasons that fail to overturn the likelihood of an earlier date.
Historical - Theological Themes:
Luke's style is that of a scholarly, well-read author (see note on 1:1-4).
He wrote as a meticulous historian, often giving details that helped
identify the historical context of the events he described (1:5; 2:1-2;
3:1-2; 13:1-4).
His account of the nativity is the fullest in all the gospel records, and
(like the rest of Luke's work), more polished in its literary style. He
included in the birth narrative a series of praise psalms (1:46-55;
1:68-79; 2:14; 2:29-32, 34-35). He alone reported the unusual circumstances
surrounding the birth of John the Baptist, the annunciation to Mary, the
manger, the shepherds and Simeon and Anna (2:25-38).
A running theme in Luke's gospel is Jesus' compassion for Gentiles,
Samaritans, women, children, tax collectors, sinners and others often
regarded as outcasts in Israel. Every time he mentions a tax collector
(3:12; 5:27; 7:29; 15:1; 18:10-13; 19:2), it is in a positive sense. Yet,
Luke did not ignore the salvation of those who were rich and respectable,
e.g. 23:50-53. From the outset of Jesus' public ministry (4:18), to the
Lord's final words on the cross (23:40-43), Luke underscored this theme of
Christ's ministry to the pariahs of society. Again and again, he showed how
the Great Physician ministered to those most aware of their need (compare
5:31-32; 15:4-7, 31-32; 19:10).
The high-profile Luke accords to women is particularly significant. From
the nativity account, where Mary, Elizabeth and Anna are given prominence
(chapters 1 and 2), to the events of resurrection morning, where women
again are major characters (24:1, 10), Luke emphasized the central role of
women in the life and ministry of our Lord (e.g. 7:12-15, 37-50; 8:2-3,
43-48; 10:38-42; 13:11-13; 21:2-4; 23:27-29, 49, 55-56).
Several other recurring themes form threads through Luke's gospel. Examples
of these are human fear in the presence of God (see note on 1:12);
forgiveness (3:3; 5:20-25; 6:37; 7:41-50; 11:4; 12:10; 17:3-4; 23:34;
24:47); joy (see note on 1:14); wonder at the mysteries of divine truth
(see note on 2:18); the role of the Holy Spirit (1:15, 35, 41, 67; 2:25-27;
3:16, 22, 4:1, 14, 18; 10:21; 11:13; 12:10, 12); the temple in Jerusalem
(1:9-22; 2:27-38, 46-49; 4:9-13; 18:10-14; 19:45-48; 20:1 - 21:6; 21:37-38;
24:53); and Jesus' prayers (see note on 6:12).
Starting with 9:51, Luke devoted 10 chapters of his narrative to a
travelogue of Jesus' final journey to Jerusalem. Much of the material in
this section is unique to Luke. This is the heart of Luke's gospel, and it
features a theme Luke stressed throughout: Jesus' relentless progression
toward the cross. This was the very purpose for which Christ had come to
earth (compare 9:22-23; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:25-26, 46), and He would not be
deterred. The saving of sinners was His whole mission (19:10).
Distinctive Features:
Luke's language: He uses 266 words (not counting proper names), found
nowhere else in the New Testament. He is capable of elevated literary style
(1:1-4). He often writes in a manner reminiscent of the Septuagint, the
Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. If he was a Gentile, as many
think, he nonetheless knew and loved the Old Testament well.
Luke's accuracy: For many, of course, accuracy in a biblical writing is
assumed. But Luke has been a prominent battleground (one scholar calls
Lucan studies a "storm center"), for those probing the New Testament's
reliability, since it so clearly places itself in the context of ancient
history (e.g., 3:1-2).
The historian and classical scholar Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916), began
by assuming Luke's inaccuracy, but became convinced rather of the opposite.
In this, Ramsay is hardly alone. Where Luke can be tested, he shows a
remarkable command of often obscure facts, and a determination not to
distort those facts in the telling.
Luke's focus: Several themes dominate the gospel. Luke stresses the
overarching plan of God in human history as revealed through Israel,
Christ, and the church. He puts special emphasis on "salvation" as such
(the word, though not the idea, is absent from Matthew and Mark, and
appears once in John).
He is concerned with individuals (Zechariah, Elisabeth, Mary the mother of
Jesus, Mary and Martha, and Zaccheus, to name a few), shows the importance
of women, and calls special attention to children, the poor, and the
disreputable. He stresses the Holy Spirit, both in the life of Jesus and in
the early church. Finally, as in all the gospels, Jesus' suffering and
death find lengthy and detailed treatment. Luke's gospel is a careful and
engrossing presentation of God's saving will and work in the world,
preeminently through His Son.

Luke 2
Luke Chapter 2
Luke 2:1 "And it
came to pass in
those days, that
there went out a
decree from Caesar
Augustus, that all
the world should be
taxed."
Luke 2:2 "([And]
this taxing was
first made when
Cyrenius was
governor of
Syria.)"
Luke 2:3 "And all
went to be taxed,
every one into his
own city."
Luke 2:4 "And
Joseph also went up
from Galilee, out
of the city of
Nazareth, into
Judea, unto the
city of David,
which is called
Bethlehem; (because
he was of the house
and lineage of
David:)"
Luke 2:5 "To be
taxed with Mary his
espoused wife,
being great with
child."
Luke 2:6 "And so it
was, that, while
they were there,
the days were
accomplished that
she should be
delivered."
Luke 2:7 "And she
brought forth her
firstborn son, and
wrapped him in
swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a
manger; because
there was no room
for them in the
inn."
Luke 2:8 "And there
were in the same
country shepherds
abiding in the
field, keeping
watch over their
flock by night."
Luke 2:9 "And, lo,
the angel of the
Lord came upon
them, and the glory
of the Lord shone
round about them:
and they were sore
afraid."
Luke 2:10 "And the
angel said unto
them, Fear not:
for, behold, I
bring you good
tidings of great
joy, which shall be
to all people."
Luke 2:11 "For unto
you is born this
day in the city of
David a Savior,
which is Christ the
Lord."
Luke 2:12 "And this
[shall be] a sign
unto you; Ye shall
find the babe
wrapped in
swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger."
Luke 2:13 "And
suddenly there was
with the angel a
multitude of the
heavenly host
praising God, and
saying,"
Luke 2:14 "Glory to
God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward
men."
Luke 2:15 "And it
came to pass, as
the angels were
gone away from them
into heaven, the
shepherds said one
to another, Let us
now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see
this thing which is
come to pass, which
the Lord hath made
known unto us."
Luke 2:16 "And they
came with haste,
and found Mary, and
Joseph, and the
babe lying in a
manger."
Luke 2:17 "And when
they had seen [it],
they made known
abroad the saying
which was told them
concerning this
child."
Luke 2:18 "And all
they that heard
[it] wondered at
those things which
were told them by
the shepherds."
Luke 2:19 "But Mary
kept all these
things, and
pondered [them] in
her heart."
Luke 2:20 "And the
shepherds returned,
glorifying and
praising God for
all the things that
they had heard and
seen, as it was
told unto them."
Luke 2:21 "And when
eight days were
accomplished for
the circumcising of
the child, his name
was called JESUS,
which was so named
of the angel before
he was conceived in
the womb."
Luke 2:22 "And when
the days of her
purification
according to the
law of Moses were
accomplished, they
brought him to
Jerusalem, to
present [him] to
the Lord;"
Luke 2:23 "(As it
is written in the
law of the Lord,
Every male that
openeth the womb
shall be called
holy to the Lord;)"
Luke 2:24 "And to
offer a sacrifice
according to that
which is said in
the law of the
Lord, A pair of
turtledoves, or two
young pigeons."

thy servant depart
in peace, according
to thy word:"

Israel."

sword shall pierce
through thy own
soul also,) that
the thoughts of
many hearts may be
revealed."

[was] a widow of
about fourscore and
four years, which

being governor of
Judea, and Herod
being tetrarch of
Galilee, and his
brother Philip
tetrarch of Ituraea
and of the region
of Trachonitis, and

Caiaphas being the
high priests, the
word of God came
unto John the son
of Zachariah in the
wilderness."
Luke 3:3 "And he
came into all the
country about
Jordan, preaching
the baptism of
repentance for the
remission of sins;"
Luke 3:4 "As it is
written in the book
of the words of
Isaiah the prophet,
saying, The voice
of one crying in
the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make
his paths
straight."

valley shall be
filled, and every
mountain and hill
shall be brought
low; and the
crooked shall be
made straight, and
the rough ways
[shall be] made
smooth;"

flesh shall see the
salvation of God."

he to the multitude
that came forth to
be baptized of him,
O generation of
vipers, who hath
warned you to flee
from the wrath to
come?"
Luke 3:8 "Bring
forth therefore
fruits worthy of
repentance, and
begin not to say
within yourselves,
We have Abraham to
[our] father: for I
say unto you, That
God is able of
these stones to
raise up children
unto Abraham."

also the axe is
laid unto the root
of the trees: every
tree therefore
which bringeth not
forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast
into the fire."

people asked him,
saying, What shall
we do then?"

that hath none; and
he that hath meat,
let him do
likewise."
Luke 3:12-13 "Then
came also publicans
to be baptized, and
said unto him,
Master, what shall
we do?" These
publicans were
people who
collected taxes for
the Romans. This is
a very good
question they have
asked." "And he
said unto them,
Exact no more than
that which is
appointed you."
Luke 3:14 "And the
soldiers likewise
demanded of him,
saying, And what
shall we do? And he
said unto them, Do
violence to no man,
neither accuse
[any] falsely; and
be content with
your wages."

the people were in
expectation, and
all men mused in
their hearts of
John, whether he
were the Christ, or
not;"

answered, saying
unto [them] all, I
indeed baptize you
with water; but one
mightier than I
cometh, the latchet
of whose shoes I am
not worthy to
unloose: he shall
baptize you with
the Holy Ghost and
with fire:"

he will thoroughly purge his floor, and
will gather the wheat into his garner; but
the chaff he will burn with fire
unquenchable."

exhortation preached he unto the people."

and when they were
ended, he afterward
hungered."

devil said unto
him, If thou be the
Son of God, command

shall not live by
bread alone, but by
every word of God."

devil, taking him
up into a high
mountain, shewed
unto him all the
kingdoms of the
world in a moment
of time."

him, All this power
will I give thee,

them: for that is

will I give it."

therefore wilt
worship me, all
shall be thine."

thou serve."

brought him to
Jerusalem, and set
him on a pinnacle
of the temple, and

thou be the Son of

He shall give his
angels charge over
thee, to keep
thee:" "And in
[their] hands they
shall bear thee up,

thou dash thy foot
against a stone."

where he had been
brought up: and, as

synagogue on the
sabbath day, and
stood up for to
read."

there was delivered
unto him the book
of the prophet
Isaiah. And when he
had opened the
book, he found the
place where it was
written,"

Spirit of the Lord
[is] upon me,
because he hath
anointed me to
preach the gospel
to the poor; he
hath sent me to
heal the
broken-hearted, to
preach deliverance
to the captives,
and recovering of
sight to the blind,
to set at liberty
them that are
bruised,"

the Lord."

will surely say
unto me this

heal thyself:

heard done in
Capernaum, do also
here in thy
country."
Luke 4:24 "And he
said, Verily I say
unto you, No
prophet is accepted
in his own
country."

tell you of a
truth, many widows
were in Israel in
the days of Elijah,
when the heaven was
shut up three years
and six months,
when great famine
was throughout all
the land;" "But
unto none of them
was Elijah sent,
save unto Sarepta,
[a city] of Sidon,
unto a woman [that
was] a widow."

lepers were in
Israel in the time
of Elisha the
prophet; and none
of them was
cleansed, saving
Naaman the Syrian."

they in the
synagogue, when
they heard these
things, were filled
with wrath,"

of the city, and led him unto the brow of
the hill whereon their city was built, that
they might cast him down headlong."

have we to do with thee, [thou] Jesus of
Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I
know thee who thou art; the Holy One of
God."

Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And
when the devil had thrown him in the midst,
he came out of him, and hurt him not."

spake among themselves, saying, What a word
[is] this! for with authority and power he
commandeth the unclean spirits, and they
come out."

into every place of the country round
about."

synagogue, and entered into Simon's house.

great fever; and they besought him for
her." "And he stood over her, and rebuked
the fever; and it left her: and immediately

all they that had any sick with divers
diseases brought them unto him; and he laid
his hands on every one of them, and healed
them."

many, crying out, and saying, Thou art
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking
[them] suffered them not to speak: for they

also: for therefore am I sent."

Luke 5
Luke Chapter 5
Luke 5:1 "And it
came to pass, that,
as the people
pressed upon him to
hear the word of
God, he stood by
the lake of
Gennesaret,"
Luke 5:2 "And saw
two ships standing
by the lake: but
the fishermen were
gone out of them,
and were washing
[their] nets."
Luke 5:3 "And he
entered into one of
the ships, which
was Simon's, and
prayed him that he
would thrust out a
little from the
land. And he sat
down, and taught
the people out of
the ship."
Luke 5:4 "Now when
he had left
speaking, he said
unto Simon, Launch
out into the deep,
and let down your
nets for a
draught."
Luke 5:5 "And Simon
answering said unto
him, Master, we
have toiled all the
night, and have
taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy
word I will let
down the net."
Luke 5:6 "And when
they had this done,
they inclosed a
great multitude of
fishes: and their
net brake."
Luke 5:7 "And they
beckoned unto
[their] partners,
which were in the
other ship, that
they should come
and help them. And
they came, and
filled both the
ships, so that they
began to sink."
Luke 5:8 "When
Simon Peter saw
[it], he fell down
at Jesus' knees,
saying, Depart from
me; for I am a
sinful man, O
Lord."
Luke 5:9-10 "For he
was astonished, and
all that were with
him, at the draught
of the fishes which
they had taken:"
"And so [was] also
James, and John,
the sons of
Zebedee, which were
partners with
Simon. And Jesus
said unto Simon,
Fear not; from
henceforth thou
shalt catch men."
Luke 5:11 "And when
they had brought
their ships to
land, they forsook
all, and followed
him."
Luke 5:12 "And it
came to pass, when
he was in a certain
city, behold a man
full of leprosy:
who seeing Jesus
fell on [his] face,
and besought him,
saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou
canst make me
clean."
Luke 5:13 "And he
put forth [his]
hand, and touched
him, saying, I
will: be thou
clean. And
immediately the
leprosy departed
from him."
Luke 5:14 "And he
charged him to tell
no man: but go, and
shew thyself to the
priest, and offer
for thy cleansing,
according as Moses
commanded, for a
testimony unto
them."
Luke 5:15 "But so
much the more went
there a fame abroad
of him: and great
multitudes came
together to hear,
and to be healed by
him of their
infirmities."
Luke 5:16 "And he
withdrew himself
into the
wilderness, and
prayed."
Luke 5:17 "And it came to pass on a certain
day, as he was teaching, that there were
Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting
by, which were come out of every town of
Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the
power of the Lord was [present] to heal
them."
Luke 5:18 "And, behold, men brought in a
bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and
they sought [means] to bring him in, and to
lay [him] before him."
Luke 5:19 "And when they could not find by
what [way] they might bring him in because
of the multitude, they went upon the
housetop, and let him down through the
tiling with [his] couch into the midst
before Jesus."
Luke 5:20 "And when he saw their faith, he
said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven
thee."
Luke 5:21 "And the scribes and the
Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is
this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can
forgive sins, but God alone?"
Luke 5:22 "But when Jesus perceived their
thoughts, he answering said unto them, What
reason ye in your hearts?"
Luke 5:23 "Whether is easier, to say, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up
and walk?"
Luke 5:24 "But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive
sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,)
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy
couch, and go into thine house."
Luke 5:25 "And immediately he rose up
before them, and took up that whereon he
lay, and departed to his own house,
glorifying God."
Luke 5:26 "And they were all amazed, and
they glorified God, and were filled with
fear, saying, We have seen strange things
to day."
Luke 5:27 "And after these things he went
forth, and saw a publican, named Levi,
sitting at the receipt of custom: and he
said unto him, Follow me."
Luke 5:28 "And he left all, rose up, and
followed him."
Luke 5:29 "And Levi made him a great feast
in his own house: and there was a great
company of publicans and of others that sat
down with them."
Luke 5:30 "But their scribes and Pharisees
murmured against his disciples, saying, Why
do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners?"
Luke 5:31 "And Jesus answering said unto
them, They that are whole need not a
physician; but they that are sick."
Luke 5:32 "I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Luke 5:33 "And they said unto him, Why do
the disciples of John fast often, and make
prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of
the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?"
Luke 5:34-35 "And he said unto them, Can ye
make the children of the bride-chamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them?"
"But the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken away from them,
and then shall they fast in those days."
Luke 5:36 "And he spake also a parable unto
them; No man putteth a piece of a new
garment upon an old; if otherwise, then
both the new maketh a rent, and the piece
that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not
with the old."
Luke 5:37-38 "And no man putteth new wine
into old bottles; else the new wine will
burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the
bottles shall perish." "But new wine must
be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved."
Luke 5:39 "No man also having drunk old
[wine] straightway desireth new: for he
saith, The old is better."
Luke 6
Luke Chapter 6
Luke 6:1 "And it
came to pass on the
second sabbath
after the first,
that he went
through the corn
fields; and his
disciples plucked
the ears of corn,
and did eat,
rubbing [them] in
[their] hands."
Luke 6:2 "And
certain of the
Pharisees said unto
them, Why do ye
that which is not
lawful to do on the
sabbath days?"
Luke 6:3 "And Jesus
answering them
said, Have ye not
read so much as
this, what David
did, when himself
was an hungered,
and they which were
with him;"
Luke 6:4 "How he
went into the house
of God, and did
take and eat the
shewbread, and gave
also to them that
were with him;
which it is not
lawful to eat but
for the priests
alone?"
Luke 6:5 "And he
said unto them,
That the Son of man
is Lord also of the
sabbath."
Luke 6:6 "And it
came to pass also
on another sabbath,
that he entered
into the synagogue
and taught: and
there was a man
whose right hand
was withered."
Luke 6:7 "And the
scribes and
Pharisees watched
him, whether he
would heal on the
sabbath day; that
they might find an
accusation against
him."
Luke 6:8 "But he
knew their
thoughts, and said
to the man which
had the withered
hand, Rise up, and
stand forth in the
midst. And he arose
and stood forth."
Luke 6:9 "Then said
Jesus unto them, I
will ask you one
thing; Is it lawful
on the sabbath days
to do good, or to
do evil? to save
life, or to destroy
[it]?"
Luke 6:10 "And
looking round about
upon them all, he
said unto the man,
Stretch forth thy
hand. And he did
so: and his hand
was restored whole
as the other."
Luke 6:11 "And they
were filled with
madness; and
communed one with
another what they
might do to Jesus."
Luke 6:12 "And it
came to pass in
those days, that he
went out into a
mountain to pray,
and continued all
night in prayer to
God."
Luke 6:13 "And when
it was day, he
called [unto him]
his disciples: and
of them he chose
twelve, whom also
he named apostles;"
Luke 6:14 "Simon,
(whom he also named
Peter,) and Andrew
his brother, James
and John, Philip
and Bartholomew,"
Luke 6:15 "Matthew
and Thomas, James
the [son] of
Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,"
Luke 6:16 "And
Judas [the brother]
of James, and Judas
Iscariot, which
also was the
traitor."
Luke 6:17 "And he
came down with
them, and stood in
the plain, and the
company of his
disciples, and a
great multitude of
people out of all
Judea and
Jerusalem, and from
the sea coast of
Tyre and Sidon,
which came to hear
him, and to be
healed of their
diseases;"
Luke 6:18 "And they
that were vexed
with unclean
spirits: and they
were healed."
Luke 6:19 "And the
whole multitude
sought to touch
him: for there went
virtue out of him,
and healed [them]
all."
Luke 6:20 "And he
lifted up his eyes
on his disciples,
and said, Blessed
[be ye] poor: for
yours is the
kingdom of God."
Luke 6:21 "Blessed
[are ye] that
hunger now: for ye
shall be filled.
Blessed [are ye]
that weep now: for
ye shall laugh."
Luke 6:22 "Blessed
are ye, when men
shall hate you, and
when they shall
separate you [from
their company], and
shall reproach
[you], and cast out
your name as evil,
for the Son of
man's sake."
Luke 6:23 "Rejoice
ye in that day, and
leap for joy: for,
behold, your reward
[is] great in
heaven: for in the
like manner did
their fathers unto
the prophets."
Luke 6:24 "But woe
unto you that are
rich! for ye have
received your
consolation."
Luke 6:25 "Woe unto
you that are full!
for ye shall
hunger. Woe unto
you that laugh now!
for ye shall mourn
and weep."
Luke 6:26 "Woe unto
you, when all men
shall speak well of
you! For so did
their fathers to
the false
prophets."
Luke 6:27 "But I
say unto you which
hear, Love your
enemies, do good to
them which hate
you,"
Luke 6:28 "Bless
them that curse
you, and pray for
them which
despitefully use
you."
Luke 6:29 "And unto
him that smiteth
thee on the [one]
cheek offer also
the other; and him
that taketh away
thy cloak forbid
not [to take thy]
coat also."
Luke 6:30 "Give to
every man that
asketh of thee; and
of him that taketh
away thy goods ask
[them] not again."
Luke 6:31 "And as
ye would that men
should do to you,
do ye also to them
likewise."
Luke 6:32 "For if
ye love them which
love you, what
thank have ye? for
sinners also love
those that love
them."
Luke 6:33 "And if
ye do good to them
which do good to
you, what thank
have ye? for
sinners also do
even the same."
Luke 6:34 "And if ye lend [to them] of whom
ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for
sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as
much again."
Luke 6:35 "But love ye your enemies, and do
good, and lend, hoping for nothing again;
and your reward shall be great, and ye
shall be the children of the Highest: for
he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the
evil."
Luke 6:36 "Be ye therefore merciful, as
your Father also is merciful."
Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be
judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned: forgive, and ye shall be
forgiven:"
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure
that ye mete withal it shall be measured to
you again."
Luke 6:39 "And he spake a parable unto
them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall
they not both fall into the ditch?"
Luke 6:40 "The disciple is not above his
master: but every one that is perfect shall
be as his master."
Luke 6:41 "And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but
perceivest not the beam that is in thine
own eye?"
Luke 6:42 "Either how canst thou say to thy
brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote
that is in thine eye, when thou thyself
beholdest not the beam that is in thine own
eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the
beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt
thou see clearly to pull out the mote that
is in thy brother's eye."
Luke 6:43 "For a good tree bringeth not
forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit."
Luke 6:44 "For every tree is known by his
own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather
figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they
grapes."
Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is good; and an evil man out of the
evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth
that which is evil: for of the abundance of
the heart his mouth speaketh."
Luke 6:46 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I say?"
Luke 6:47 "Whosoever cometh to me, and
heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will
shew you to whom he is like:"
Luke 6:48 "He is like a man which built a
house, and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood
arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that
house, and could not shake it: for it was
founded upon a rock."
Luke 6:49 "But he that heareth, and doeth
not, is like a man that without a
foundation built a house upon the earth;
against which the stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell; and
the ruin of that house was great."
Luke 7
Luke Chapter 7
Luke 7:1 "Now when
he had ended all
his sayings in the
audience of the
people, he entered
into Capernaum."
Luke 7:2 "And a
certain centurion's
servant, who was
dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to
die."
Luke 7:3 "And when
he heard of Jesus,
he sent unto him
the elders of the
Jews, beseeching
him that he would
come and heal his
servant."
Luke 7:4-5 "And
when they came to
Jesus, they
besought him
instantly, saying,
That he was worthy
for whom he should
do this:" "For he
loveth our nation,
and he hath built
us a synagogue."
Luke 7:6 "Then
Jesus went with
them. And when he
was now not far
from the house, the
centurion sent
friends to him,
saying unto him,
Lord, trouble not
thyself: for I am
not worthy that
thou shouldest
enter under my
roof:"
Luke 7:7-8
"Wherefore neither
thought I myself
worthy to come unto
thee: but say in a
word, and my
servant shall be
healed." "For I
also am a man set
under authority,
having under me
soldiers, and I say
unto one, Go, and
he goeth; and to
another, Come, and
he cometh; and to
my servant, Do
this, and he doeth
[it]."
Luke 7:9 "When
Jesus heard these
things, he marveled
at him, and turned
him about, and said
unto the people
that followed him,
I say unto you, I
have not found so
great faith, no,
not in Israel."
Luke 7:10 "And they
that were sent,
returning to the
house, found the
servant whole that
had been sick."
Luke 7:11 "And it
came to pass the
day after, that he
went into a city
called Nain; and
many of his
disciples went with
him, and much
people."
Luke 7:12 "Now when
he came nigh to the
gate of the city,
behold, there was a
dead man carried
out, the only son
of his mother, and
she was a widow:
and much people of
the city was with
her."
Luke 7:13 "And when
the Lord saw her,
he had compassion
on her, and said
unto her, Weep
not."
Luke 7:14 "And he
came and touched
the bier: and they
that bare [him]
stood still. And he
said, Young man, I
say unto thee,
Arise."
Luke 7:15 "And he
that was dead sat
up, and began to
speak. And he
delivered him to
his mother."
Luke 7:16 "And
there came a fear
on all: and they
glorified God,
saying, That a
great prophet is
risen up among us;
and, That God hath
visited his
people."
Luke 7:17 "And this
rumor of him went
forth throughout
all Judea, and
throughout all the
region round
about."
Luke 7:18 "And the
disciples of John
shewed him of all
these things."
Luke 7:19 "And John
calling [unto him]
two of his
disciples sent
[them] to Jesus,
saying, Art thou he
that should come?
or look we for
another?"
Luke 7:20 "When the
men were come unto
him, they said,
John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee,
saying, Art thou he
that should come?
or look we for
another?"
Luke 7:21 "And in
that same hour he
cured many of
[their] infirmities
and plagues, and of
evil spirits; and
unto many [that
were] blind he gave
sight."
Luke 7:22 "Then
Jesus answering
said unto them, Go
your way, and tell
John what things ye
have seen and
heard; how that the
blind see, the lame
walk, the lepers
are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead
are raised, to the
poor the gospel is
preached."
Luke 7:23 "And
blessed is [he],
whosoever shall not
be offended in me."
Luke 7:24 "And when
the messengers of
John were departed,
he began to speak
unto the people
concerning John,
What went ye out
into the wilderness
for to see? A reed
shaken with the
wind?"
Luke 7:25 "But what
went ye out for to
see? A man clothed
in soft raiment?
Behold, they which
are gorgeously
appareled, and live
delicately, are in
kings' courts."
Luke 7:26 "But what
went ye out for to
see? A prophet?
Yea, I say unto
you, and much more
than a prophet."
Luke 7:27 "This is
[he], of whom it is
written, Behold, I
send my messenger
before thy face,
which shall prepare
thy way before
thee."
Luke 7:28 "For I
say unto you, Among
those that are born
of women there is
not a greater
prophet than John
the Baptist: but he
that is least in
the kingdom of God
is greater than
he."
Luke 7:29 "And all
the people that
heard [him], and
the publicans,
justified God,
being baptized with
the baptism of
John."
Luke 7:30 "But the
Pharisees and
lawyers rejected
the counsel of God
against themselves,
being not baptized
of him."
Luke 7:31 "And the
Lord said,
Whereunto then
shall I liken the
men of this
generation? and to
what are they
like?"
Luke 7:32 "They are
like unto children
sitting in the
marketplace, and
calling one to
another, and
saying, We have
piped unto you, and
ye have not danced;
we have mourned to
you, and ye have
not wept."
Luke 7:33 "For John
the Baptist came
neither eating
bread nor drinking
wine; and ye say,
He hath a devil."
Luke 7:34 "The Son
of man is come
eating and
drinking; and ye
say, Behold a
gluttonous man, and
a winebibber, a
friend of publicans
and sinners!"
Luke 7:35 "But
wisdom is justified
of all her
children."
Luke 7:36 "And one of the Pharisees desired
him that he would eat with him. And he went
into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat."
Luke 7:37 "And, behold, a woman in the
city, which was a sinner, when she knew
that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's
house, brought an alabaster box of
ointment,"
Luke 7:38 "And stood at his feet behind
[him] weeping, and began to wash his feet
with tears, and did wipe [them] with the
hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed [them] with the ointment."
Luke 7:39 "Now when the Pharisee which had
bidden him saw [it], he spake within
himself, saying, This man, if he were a
prophet, would have known who and what
manner of woman [this is] that toucheth
him: for she is a sinner."
Luke 7:40 "And Jesus answering said unto
him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto
thee. And he saith, Master, say on."
Luke 7:41 "There was a certain creditor
which had two debtors: the one owed five
hundred pence, and the other fifty."
Luke 7:42 "And when they had nothing to
pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him
most?"
Luke 7:43 "Simon answered and said, I
suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most.
And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly
judged."
Luke 7:44 "And he turned to the woman, and
said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I
entered into thine house, thou gavest me no
water for my feet: but she hath washed my
feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the
hairs of her head."
Luke 7:45 "Thou gavest me no kiss: but this
woman since the time I came in hath not
ceased to kiss my feet."
Luke 7:46 "My head with oil thou didst not
anoint: but this woman hath anointed my
feet with ointment."
Luke 7:47 "Wherefore I say unto thee, Her
sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she
loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
[the same] loveth little."
Luke 7:48 "And he said unto her, Thy sins
are forgiven."
Luke 7:49 "And they that sat at meat with
him began to say within themselves, Who is
this that forgiveth sins also?"
Luke 7:50 "And he said to the woman, Thy
faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
Luke 8
Luke Chapter 8
Luke 8:1 "And it
came to pass
afterward, that he
went throughout
every city and
village, preaching
and shewing the
glad tidings of the
kingdom of God: and
the twelve [were]
with him,"
Luke 8:2 "And
certain women,
which had been
healed of evil
spirits and
infirmities, Mary
called Magdalene,
out of whom went
seven devils,"
Luke 8:3 "And
Joanna the wife of
Chuza Herod's
steward, and
Susanna, and many
others, which
ministered unto him
of their
substance."
Luke 8:4 "And when
much people were
gathered together,
and were come to
him out of every
city, he spake by a
parable:"
Luke 8:5 "A sower
went out to sow his
seed: and as he
sowed, some fell by
the way side; and
it was trodden
down, and the fowls
of the air devoured
it."
Luke 8:6 "And some
fell upon a rock;
and as soon as it
was sprung up, it
withered away,
because it lacked
moisture."
Luke 8:7 "And some
fell among thorns;
and the thorns
sprang up with it,
and choked it."
Luke 8:8 "And other
fell on good
ground, and sprang
up, and bare fruit
a hundredfold. And
when he had said
these things, he
cried, He that hath
ears to hear, let
him hear."
Luke 8:9 "And his
disciples asked
him, saying, What
might this parable
be?"
Luke 8:10 "And he
said, Unto you it
is given to know
the mysteries of
the kingdom of God:
but to others in
parables; that
seeing they might
not see, and
hearing they might
not understand."
Luke 8:11 "Now the
parable is this:
The seed is the
word of God."
Luke 8:12 "Those by
the way side are
they that hear;
then cometh the
devil, and taketh
away the word out
of their hearts,
lest they should
believe and be
saved."
Luke 8:13 "They on
the rock [are
they], which, when
they hear, receive
the word with joy;
and these have no
root, which for a
while believe, and
in time of
temptation fall
away."
Luke 8:14 "And that
which fell among
thorns are they,
which, when they
have heard, go
forth, and are
choked with cares
and riches and
pleasures of [this]
life, and bring no
fruit to
perfection."
Luke 8:15 "But that
on the good ground
are they, which in
an honest and good
heart, having heard
the word, keep
[it], and bring
forth fruit with
patience."
Luke 8:16 "No man,
when he hath
lighted a candle,
covereth it with a
vessel, or putteth
[it] under a bed;
but setteth [it] on
a candlestick, that
they which enter in
may see the light."
Luke 8:17 "For
nothing is secret,
that shall not be
made manifest;
neither [any thing]
hid, that shall not
be known and come
abroad."
Luke 8:18 "Take
heed therefore how
ye hear: for
whosoever hath, to
him shall be given;
and whosoever hath
not, from him shall
be taken even that
which he seemeth to
have."
Luke 8:19 "Then
came to him [his]
mother and his
brethren, and could
not come at him for
the press."
Luke 8:20 "And it
was told him [by
certain] which
said, Thy mother
and thy brethren
stand without,
desiring to see
thee."
Luke 8:21 "And he
answered and said
unto them, My
mother and my
brethren are these
which hear the word
of God, and do it."
Luke 8:22 "Now it
came to pass on a
certain day, that
he went into a ship
with his disciples:
and he said unto
them, Let us go
over unto the other
side of the lake.
And they launched
forth."
Luke 8:23 "But as
they sailed he fell
asleep: and there
came down a storm
of wind on the
lake; and they were
filled [with
water], and were in
jeopardy."
Luke 8:24 "And they
came to him, and
awoke him, saying,
Master, master, we
perish. Then he
arose, and rebuked
the wind and the
raging of the
water: and they
ceased, and there
was a calm."
Luke 8:25 "And he
said unto them,
Where is your
faith? And they
being afraid
wondered, saying
one to another,
What manner of man
is this! for he
commandeth even the
winds and water,
and they obey him."
Luke 8:26 "And they
arrived at the
country of the
Gadarenes, which is
over against
Galilee."
Luke 8:27 "And when
he went forth to
land, there met him
out of the city a
certain man, which
had devils long
time, and ware no
clothes, neither
abode in [any]
house, but in the
tombs."
Luke 8:28 "When he
saw Jesus, he cried
out, and fell down
before him, and
with a loud voice
said, What have I
to do with thee,
Jesus, [thou] Son
of God most high? I
beseech thee,
torment me not."
Luke 8:29 "(For he
had commanded the
unclean spirit to
come out of the
man. For oftentimes
it had caught him:
and he was kept
bound with chains
and in fetters; and
he brake the bands,
and was driven of
the devil into the
wilderness.)"
Luke 8:30 "And
Jesus asked him,
saying, What is thy
name? And he said,
Legion: because
many devils were
entered into him."
Luke 8:31 "And they
besought him that
he would not
command them to go
out into the deep."
Luke 8:32 "And
there was there a
herd of many swine
feeding on the
mountain: and they
besought him that
he would suffer
them to enter into
them. And he
suffered them."
Luke 8:33 "Then
went the devils out
of the man, and
entered into the
swine: and the herd
ran violently down
a steep place into
the lake, and were
choked."
Luke 8:34 "When
they that fed
[them] saw what was
done, they fled,
and went and told
[it] in the city
and in the
country."
Luke 8:35-36 "Then
they went out to
see what was done;
and came to Jesus,
and found the man,
out of whom the
devils were
departed, sitting
at the feet of
Jesus, clothed, and
in his right mind:
and they were
afraid." "They also
which saw [it] told
them by what means
he that was
possessed of the
devils was healed."
Luke 8:37 "Then the
whole multitude of
the country of the
Gadarenes round
about besought him
to depart from
them; for they were
taken with great
fear: and he went
up into the ship,
and returned back
again."
Luke 8:40 "And it came to pass, that, when
Jesus was returned, the people [gladly]
received him: for they were all waiting for
him."
Luke 8:41 "And, behold, there came a man
named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the
synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet,
and besought him that he would come into
his house:"
Luke 8:42 "For he had one only daughter,
about twelve years of age, and she lay a
dying. But as he went the people thronged
him."
Luke 8:43-44 "And a woman having an issue
of blood twelve years, which had spent all
her living upon physicians, neither could
be healed of any," "Came behind [him], and
touched the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue of blood stanched."
Luke 8:45 "And Jesus said, Who touched me?
When all denied, Peter and they that were
with him said, Master, the multitude throng
thee and press [thee], and sayest thou, Who
touched me?"
Luke 8:46 "And Jesus said, Somebody hath
touched me: for I perceive that virtue is
gone out of me."
Luke 8:47 "And when the woman saw that she
was not hid, she came trembling, and
falling down before him, she declared unto
him before all the people for what cause
she had touched him, and how she was healed
immediately."
Luke 8:48 "And he said unto her, Daughter,
be of good comfort: thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace."
Luke 8:49 "While he yet spake, there cometh
one from the ruler of the synagogue's
[house], saying to him, Thy daughter is
dead; trouble not the Master."
Luke 8:50 "But when Jesus heard [it], he
answered him, saying, Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be made whole."
Luke 8:51 "And when he came into the house,
he suffered no man to go in, save Peter,
and James, and John, and the father and the
mother of the maiden."
Luke 8:52 "And all wept, and bewailed her:
but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but
sleepeth."
Luke 8:53 "And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead."
Luke 8:54 "And he put them all out, and
took her by the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise."
Luke 8:55 "And her spirit came again, and
she arose straightway: and he commanded to
give her meat."
Luke 8:56 "And her parents were astonished:
but he charged them that they should tell
no man what was done."
Luke 9
Luke Chapter 9
Luke 9:1 "Then he
called his twelve
disciples together,
and gave them power
and authority over
all devils, and to
cure diseases."
Luke 9:2 "And he
sent them to preach
the kingdom of God,
and to heal the
sick."
Luke 9:3 "And he
said unto them,
Take nothing for
[your] journey,
neither staves, nor
scrip, neither
bread, neither
money; neither have
two coats apiece."
Luke 9:4-5 "And
whatsoever house ye
enter into, there
abide, and thence
depart." "And
whosoever will not
receive you, when
ye go out of that
city, shake off the
very dust from your
feet for a
testimony against
them."
Luke 9:6 "And they
departed, and went
through the towns,
preaching the
gospel, and healing
every where."
Luke 9:7 "Now Herod
the tetrarch heard
of all that was
done by him: and he
was perplexed,
because that it was
said of some, that
John was risen from
the dead;"
Luke 9:8 "And of
some, that Elijah
had appeared; and
of others, that one
of the old prophets
was risen again."
Luke 9:9 "And Herod
said, John have I
beheaded: but who
is this, of whom I
hear such things?
And he desired to
see him."
Luke 9:10 "And the
apostles, when they
were returned, told
him all that they
had done. And he
took them, and went
aside privately
into a desert place
belonging to the
city called
Bethsaida."
Luke 9:11 "And the
people, when they
knew [it], followed
him: and he
received them, and
spake unto them of
the kingdom of God,
and healed them
that had need of
healing."
Luke 9:12 "And when
the day began to
wear away, then
came the twelve,
and said unto him,
Send the multitude
away, that they may
go into the towns
and country round
about, and lodge,
and get victuals:
for we are here in
a desert place."
Luke 9:13 "But he
said unto them,
Give ye them to
eat. And they said,
We have no more but
five loaves and two
fishes; except we
should go and buy
meat for all this
people."
Luke 9:14-15 "For
they were about
five thousand men.
And he said to his
disciples, Make
them sit down by
fifties in a
company." "And they
did so, and made
them all sit down."
Luke 9:16 "Then he
took the five
loaves and the two
fishes, and looking
up to heaven, he
blessed them, and
brake, and gave to
the disciples to
set before the
multitude."
Luke 9:17 "And they
did eat, and were
all filled: and
there was taken up
of fragments that
remained to them
twelve baskets."
Luke 9:18 "And it
came to pass, as he
was alone praying,
his disciples were
with him: and he
asked them, saying,
Whom say the people
that I am?"
Luke 9:19 "They
answering said,
John the Baptist;
but some [say],
Elias; and others
[say], that one of
the old prophets is
risen again."
Luke 9:20 "He said
unto them, But whom
say ye that I am?
Peter answering
said, The Christ of
God."
Luke 9:21 "And he
straitly charged
them, and commanded
[them] to tell no
man that thing;"
Luke 9:22 "Saying,
The Son of man must
suffer many things,
and be rejected of
the elders and
chief priests and
scribes, and be
slain, and be
raised the third
day."
Luke 9:23 "And he
said to [them] all,
If any [man] will
come after me, let
him deny himself,
and take up his
cross daily, and
follow me."
Luke 9:24 "For
whosoever will save
his life shall lose
it: but whosoever
will lose his life
for my sake, the
same shall save
it."
Luke 9:25 "For what
is a man
advantaged, if he
gain the whole
world, and lose
himself, or be cast
away?"
Luke 9:26 "For
whosoever shall be
ashamed of me and
of my words, of him
shall the Son of
man be ashamed,
when he shall come
in his own glory,
and [in his]
Father's, and of
the holy angels."
Luke 9:27 "But I
tell you of a
truth, there be
some standing here,
which shall not
taste of death,
till they see the
kingdom of God."
Luke 9:28 "And it
came to pass about
an eight days after
these sayings, he
took Peter and John
and James, and went
up into a mountain
to pray."
Luke 9:29 "And as
he prayed, the
fashion of his
countenance was
altered, and his
raiment [was] white
[and] glistering."
Luke 9:30 "And,
behold, there
talked with him two
men, which were
Moses and Elias:"
Luke 9:31 "Who
appeared in glory,
and spake of his
decease which he
should accomplish
at Jerusalem."
Luke 9:32 "But
Peter and they that
were with him were
heavy with sleep:
and when they were
awake, they saw his
glory, and the two
men that stood with
him."
Luke 9:33 "And it
came to pass, as
they departed from
him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master,
it is good for us
to be here: and let
us make three
tabernacles; one
for thee, and one
for Moses, and one
for Elias: not
knowing what he
said."
Luke 9:34 "While he
thus spake, there
came a cloud, and
overshadowed them:
and they feared as
they entered into
the cloud."
Luke 9:35 "And
there came a voice
out of the cloud,
saying, This is my
beloved Son: hear
him."
Luke 9:36 "And when
the voice was past,
Jesus was found
alone. And they
kept [it] close,
and told no man in
those days any of
those things which
they had seen."
Luke 9:37 "And it
came to pass, that
on the next day,
when they were come
down from the hill,
much people met
him."
Luke 9:38 "And,
behold, a man of
the company cried
out, saying,
Master, I beseech
thee, look upon my
son: for he is mine
only child."
Luke 9:39 "And, lo,
a spirit taketh
him, and he
suddenly crieth
out; and it teareth
him that he foameth
again, and bruising
him hardly
departeth from
him."
Luke 9:40 "And I
besought thy
disciples to cast
him out; and they
could not."
Luke 9:41 "And
Jesus answering
said, O faithless
and perverse
generation, how
long shall I be
with you, and
suffer you? Bring
thy son hither."
Luke 9:42 "And as
he was yet a
coming, the devil
threw him down, and
tare [him]. And
Jesus rebuked the
unclean spirit, and
healed the child,
and delivered him
again to his
father."
Luke 9:43 "And they
were all amazed at
the mighty power of
God. But while they
wondered every one
at all things which
Jesus did, he said
unto his
disciples,"
Luke 9:44 "Let
these sayings sink
down into your
ears: for the Son
of man shall be
delivered into the
hands of men."
Luke 9:45 "But they
understood not this
saying, and it was
hid from them, that
they perceived it
not: and they
feared to ask him
of that saying."
Luke 9:46 "Then
there arose a
reasoning among
them, which of them
should be
greatest."
Luke 9:47-48 "And
Jesus, perceiving
the thought of
their heart, took a
child, and set him
by him," "And said
unto them,
Whosoever shall
receive this child
in my name
receiveth me: and
whosoever shall
receive me
receiveth him that
sent me: for he
that is least among
you all, the same
shall be great."
Luke 9:49 "And John
answered and said,
Master, we saw one
casting out devils
in thy name; and we
forbad him, because
he followeth not
with us."
Luke 9:50 "And
Jesus said unto
him, Forbid [him]
not: for he that is
not against us is
for us."
Luke 9:51 "And it came to pass, when the
time was come that he should be received
up, he stedfastly set his face to go to
Jerusalem,"
Luke 9:52 "And sent messengers before his
face: and they went, and entered into a
village of the Samaritans, to make ready
for him."
Luke 9:53 "And they did not receive him,
because his face was as though he would go
to Jerusalem."
Luke 9:54 "And when his disciples James and
John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou
that we command fire to come down from
heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah
did?"
Luke 9:55 "But he turned, and rebuked them,
and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit
ye are of."
Luke 9:56 "For the Son of man is not come
to destroy men's lives, but to save [them].
And they went to another village."
Luke 9:57 "And it came to pass, that, as
they went in the way, a certain [man] said
unto him, Lord, I will follow thee
whithersoever thou goest."
Luke 9:58 "And Jesus said unto him, Foxes
have holes, and birds of the air [have]
nests; but the Son of man hath not where to
lay [his] head."
Luke 9:59 "And he said unto another, Follow
me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to
go and bury my father."
Luke 9:60 "Jesus said unto him, Let the
dead bury their dead: but go thou and
preach the kingdom of God."
Luke 9:61 "And another also said, Lord, I
will follow thee; but let me first go bid
them farewell, which are at home at my
house."
Luke 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, No man,
having put his hand to the plough, and
looking back, is fit for the kingdom of
God."
Luke 10
Luke Chapter 10
Luke 10:1 "After
these things the
Lord appointed
other seventy also,
and sent them two
and two before his
face into every
city and place,
whither he himself
would come."
Luke 10:2
"Therefore said he
unto them, The
harvest truly [is]
great, but the
laborer's [are]
few: pray ye
therefore the Lord
of the harvest,
that he would send
forth laborer's
into his harvest."
Luke 10:3 "Go your ways: behold, I
send you forth as lambs among wolves."
Luke 10:4 "Carry
neither purse, nor
scrip, nor shoes:
and salute no man
by the way."
Luke 10:5 "And into
whatsoever house ye
enter, first say,
Peace [be] to this
house."
Luke 10:6 "And if
the son of peace be
there, your peace
shall rest upon it:
if not, it shall
turn to you again."
Luke 10:8-9 "And
into whatsoever
city ye enter, and
they receive you,
eat such things as
are set before
you:" "And heal the
sick that are
therein, and say
unto them, The
kingdom of God is
come nigh unto
you."
Luke 10:10-11 "But
into whatsoever
city ye enter, and
they receive you
not, go your ways
out into the
streets of the
same, and say,"
"Even the very dust
of your city, which
cleaveth on us, we
do wipe off against
you:
notwithstanding be
ye sure of this,
that the kingdom of
God is come nigh
unto you."
Luke 10:12 "But I
say unto you, that
it shall be more
tolerable in that
day for Sodom, than
for that city."
Luke 10:13 "Woe
unto thee,
Chorazin! woe unto
thee, Bethsaida!
For if the mighty
works had been done
in Tyre and Sidon,
which have been
done in you, they
had a great while
ago repented,
sitting in
sackcloth and
ashes."
Luke 10:14-15 "But
it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre
and Sidon at the
judgment, than for
you." "And thou,
Capernaum, which
art exalted to
heaven, shalt be
thrust down to
hell."
Luke 10:16 "He that
heareth you heareth
me; and he that
despiseth you
despiseth me; and
he that despiseth
me despiseth him
that sent me."
Luke 10:17 "And the
seventy returned
again with joy,
saying, Lord, even
the devils are
subject unto us
through thy name."
Luke 10:18 "And he
said unto them, I
beheld Satan as
lightning fall from
heaven."
Luke 10:19 "Behold,
I give unto you
power to tread on
serpents and
scorpions, and over
all the power of
the enemy: and
nothing shall by
any means hurt
you."
Luke 10:20
"Notwithstanding in
this rejoice not,
that the spirits
are subject unto
you; but rather
rejoice, because
your names are
written in heaven."
Luke 10:21 "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes: even so,
Father; for so it seemed good in thy
sight."
Luke 10:22 "All things are delivered to me
of my Father: and no man knoweth who the
Son is, but the Father; and who the Father
is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son
will reveal [him]."
Luke 10:23 "And he turned him unto [his]
disciples, and said privately, Blessed
[are] the eyes which see the things that ye
see:"
Luke 10:24 "For I tell you, that many
prophets and kings have desired to see
those things which ye see, and have not
seen [them]; and to hear those things which
ye hear, and have not heard [them]."
Luke 10:25 "And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
Luke 10:26 "He said unto him, What is
written in the law? How readest thou?"
Luke 10:27 "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."
Luke 10:28 "And he said unto him, Thou hast
answered right: this do, and thou shalt
live."
Luke 10:29 "But he, willing to justify
himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?"
Luke 10:30 "And Jesus answering said, A
certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among thieves, which
stripped him of his raiment, and wounded
[him], and departed, leaving [him] half
dead."
Luke 10:31 "And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way: and when he saw
him, he passed by on the other side." "And
likewise a Levite, when he was at the
place, came and looked [on him], and passed
by on the other side."
Luke 10:33 "But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was: and when he
saw him, he had compassion [on him],"
Luke 10:34 "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."
Luke 10:35 "And on the morrow when he
departed, he took out two pence, and gave
[them] to the host, and said unto him, Take
care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest
more, when I come again, I will repay
thee."
Luke 10:36 "Which now of these three,
thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that
fell among the thieves?"
Luke 10:37 "And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go,
and do thou likewise."
Luke 10:38 "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."
Luke 10:39 "And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and
heard his word."
Luke 10:40 "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."
Luke 10:41 "And Jesus answered and said
unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things:"
Luke 10:42 "But one thing is needful: and
Mary hath chosen that good part, which
shall not be taken away from her."
Luke 11
Luke Chapter 11
Luke 11:1 "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."
Luke 11:2 "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."
Luke 11:3-4 "Give
us day by day our
daily bread." "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."
Luke 11:5 "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;"
Luke 11:6 "For a
friend of mine in
his journey is come
to me, and I have
nothing to set
before him?"
Luke 11:7 "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."
Luke 11:8 "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."
Luke 11:9 "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."
Luke 11:10 "For
every one that
asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him
that knocketh it
shall be opened."
Luke 11:11-12 "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?" "Or
if he shall ask an
egg, will he offer
him a scorpion?"
Luke 11:13 "If ye
then, being evil,
know how to give
good gifts unto
your children: how
much more shall
[your] heavenly
Father give the
Holy Spirit to them
that ask him?"
Luke 11:14 "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."
Luke 11:15 "But
some of them said,
He casteth out
devils through
Beelzebub the chief
of the devils."
Luke 11:16 "And
others, tempting
[him], sought of
him a sign from
heaven."
Luke 11:17 "But he,
knowing their
thoughts, said unto
them, Every kingdom
divided against
itself is brought
to desolation; and
a house [divided]
against a house
falleth."
Luke 11:18-19 "If
Satan also be
divided against
himself, how shall
his kingdom stand?
because ye say that
I cast out devils
through Beelzebub."
"And if I by
Beelzebub cast out
devils, by whom do
your sons cast
[them] out?
therefore shall
they be your
judges."
Luke 11:20 "But if
I with the finger
of God cast out
devils, no doubt
the kingdom of God
is come upon you."
Luke 11:21 "When a
strong man armed
keepeth his palace,
his goods are in
peace:"
Luke 11:22 "But
when a stronger
than he shall come
upon him, and
overcome him, he
taketh from him all
his armor wherein
he trusted, and
divideth his
spoils."
Luke 11:23 "He that
is not with me is
against me: and he
that gathereth not
with me
scattereth."
Luke 11:24 "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."
Luke 11:25-26 "And
when he cometh, he
findeth [it] swept
and garnished."
"Then goeth he, and
taketh [to him]
seven other spirits
more wicked than
himself; and they
enter in, and dwell
there: and the last
[state] of that man
is worse than the
first."
Luke 11:27 "And it
came to pass, as he
spake these things,
a certain woman of
the company lifted
up her voice, and
said unto him,
Blessed [is] the
womb that bare
thee, and the paps
which thou hast
sucked."
Luke 11:28 "But he
said, Yea rather,
blessed [are] they
that hear the word
of God, and keep
it."
Luke 11:29 "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
Jonah the prophet."
Luke 11:30 "For as
Jonah was a sign
unto the Ninevites,
so shall also the
Son of man be to
this generation."
Luke 11:31 "The
queen of the south
shall rise up in
the judgment with
the men of this
generation, and
condemn them: for
she came from the
utmost parts of the
earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a
greater than
Solomon [is] here."
Luke 11:32 "The men
of Nineveh shall
rise up in the
judgment with this
generation, and
shall condemn it:
for they repented
at the preaching of
Jonah; and, behold,
a greater than
Jonah [is] here."
Luke 11:33 "No man,
when he hath
lighted a candle,
putteth [it] in a
secret place,
neither under a
bushel, but on a
candlestick, that
they which come in
may see the light."
Luke 11:34 "The
light of the body
is the eye:
therefore when
thine eye is
single, thy whole
body also is full
of light; but when
[thine eye] is
evil, thy body also
[is] full of
darkness."
Luke 11:35 "Take
heed therefore that
the light which is
in thee be not
darkness."
Luke 11:36 "If thy
whole body
therefore [be] full
of light, having no
part dark, the
whole shall be full
of light, as when
the bright shining
of a candle doth
give thee light."
Luke 11:37 "And as he spake, a certain
Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and
he went in, and sat down to meat."
Luke 11:38 "And when the Pharisee saw [it],
he marveled that he had not first washed
before dinner."
Luke 11:39 "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."
Luke 11:40 "[Ye] fools, did not he that
made that which is without make that which
is within also?"
Luke 11:41 "But rather give alms of such
things as ye have; and, behold, all things
are clean unto you."
Luke 11:42 "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."
Luke 11:43 "Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye
love the uppermost seats in the synagogues,
and greetings in the markets."
Luke 11:44 "Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are as graves
which appear not, and the men that walk
over [them] are not aware [of them]."
Luke 11:45 "Then answered one of the
lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus
saying thou reproachest us also."
Luke 11:46 "And he said, Woe unto you also,
[ye] lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves
touch not the burdens with one of your
fingers."
Luke 11:47 "Woe unto you! for ye build the
sepulchers of the prophets, and your
fathers killed them."
Luke 11:48 "Truly ye bear witness that ye
allow the deeds of your fathers: for they
indeed killed them, and ye build their
sepulchers."
Luke 11:49 "Therefore also said the wisdom
of God, I will send them prophets and
apostles, and [some] of them they shall
slay and persecute:"
Luke 11:50-51 "That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be required of
this generation;" "From the blood of Abel
unto the blood of Zachariah, which perished
between the altar and the temple: verily I
say unto you, It shall be required of this
generation."
Luke 11:52 "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."
Luke 11:53 "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:"
Luke 11:54 "Laying wait for him, and
seeking to catch something out of his
mouth, that they might accuse him."
Luke 12
Luke Chapter 12
Luke 12:1 "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."
Luke 12:2 "For
there is nothing
covered, that shall
not be revealed;
neither hid, that
shall not be
known."
Luke 12:3
"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."
Luke 12:4 "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."
Luke 12:5 "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."
Luke 12:6 "Are not
five sparrows sold
for two farthings,
and not one of them
is forgotten before
God?"
Luke 12:7 "But even
the very hairs of
your head are all
numbered. Fear not
therefore: ye are
of more value than
many sparrows."
Luke 12:8 "Also I
say unto you,
Whosoever shall
confess me before
men, him shall the
Son of man also
confess before the
angels of God:"
Luke 12:9 "But he
that denieth me
before men shall be
denied before the
angels of God."
Luke 12:10 "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."
Luke 12:11 "And
when they bring you
unto the
synagogues, and
[unto] magistrates,
and powers, take ye
no thought how or
what thing ye shall
answer, or what ye
shall say:"
Luke 12:12 "For the
Holy Ghost shall
teach you in the
same hour what ye
ought to say."
Luke 12:13 "And one
of the company said
unto him, Master,
speak to my
brother, that he
divide the
inheritance with
me."
Luke 12:14 "And he
said unto him, Man,
who made me a judge
or a divider over
you?"
Luke 12:15 "And he
said unto them,
Take heed, and
beware of
covetousness: for a
man's life
consisteth not in
the abundance of
the things which he
possesseth."
Luke 12:16-17 "And
he spake a parable
unto them, saying,
The ground of a
certain rich man
brought forth
plentifully:" "And
he thought within
himself, saying,
What shall I do,
because I have no
room where to
bestow my fruits?"
Luke 12:18-19 "And
he said, This will
I do: I will pull
down my barns, and
build greater; and
there will I bestow
all my fruits and
my goods." "And I
will say to my
soul, Soul, thou
hast much goods
laid up for many
years; take thine
ease, eat, drink,
[and] be merry."
Luke 12:20 "But God
said unto him,
[Thou] fool, this
night thy soul
shall be required
of thee: then whose
shall those things
be, which thou hast
provided?"
Luke 12:21 "So [is]
he that layeth up
treasure for
himself, and is not
rich toward God."
Luke 12:22-23 "And
he said unto his
disciples,
Therefore I say
unto you, Take no
thought for your
life, what ye shall
eat; neither for
the body, what ye
shall put on." "The
life is more than
meat, and the body
[is more] than
raiment."
Luke 12:24
"Consider the
ravens: for they
neither sow nor
reap; which neither
have storehouse nor
barn; and God
feedeth them: how
much more are ye
better than the
fowls?"
Luke 12:25 "And
which of you with
taking thought can
add to his stature
one cubit?"
Luke 12:26 "If ye
then be not able to
do that thing which
is least, why take
ye thought for the
rest?"
Luke 12:27
"Consider the
lilies how they
grow: they toil
not, they spin not;
and yet I say unto
you, that Solomon
in all his glory
was not arrayed
like one of these."
Luke 12:28 "If then
God so clothe the
grass, which is to
day in the field,
and tomorrow is
cast into the oven;
how much more [will
he clothe] you, O
ye of little
faith?"
Luke 12:29 "And
seek not ye what ye
shall eat, or what
ye shall drink,
neither be ye of
doubtful mind."
"For all these
things do the
nations of the
world seek after:
and your Father
knoweth that ye
have need of these
things."
Luke 12:31 "But
rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and
all these things
shall be added unto
you." Luke 12:32
"Fear not, little
flock; for it is
your Father's good
pleasure to give
you the kingdom."
Luke 12:33 "Sell
that ye have, and
give alms; provide
yourselves bags
which wax not old,
a treasure in the
heavens that
faileth not, where
no thief
approacheth,
neither moth
corrupteth."
Luke 12:34 "For
where your treasure
is, there will your
heart be also."
Luke 12:35 "Let
your loins be
girded about, and
[your] lights
burning;"
Luke 12:36 "And ye
yourselves like
unto men that wait
for their lord,
when he will return
from the wedding;
that when he cometh
and knocketh, they
may open unto him
immediately."
Luke 12:37 "Blessed
[are] those
servants, whom the
lord when he cometh
shall find
watching: verily I
say unto you, that
he shall gird
himself, and make
them to sit down to
meat, and will come
forth and serve
them."
Luke 12:38 "And if
he shall come in
the second watch,
or come in the
third watch, and
find [them] so,
blessed are those
servants."
Luke 12:39 "And this know, that if the
goodman of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have
watched, and not have suffered his house to
be broken through."
Luke 12:40 "Be ye therefore ready also: for
the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye
think not."
Luke 12:41 "Then Peter said unto him, Lord,
speakest thou this parable unto us, or even
to all?"
Luke 12:42 "And the Lord said, Who then is
that faithful and wise steward, whom [his]
lord shall make ruler over his household,
to give [them their] portion of meat in due
season?"
Luke 12:43 "Blessed [is] that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing."
Luke 12:44 "Of a truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all that he
hath."
Luke 12:45 "But and if that servant say in
his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and
shall begin to beat the menservants and
maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be
drunken;"
Luke 12:46 "The lord of that servant will
come in a day when he looketh not for
[him], and at an hour when he is not aware,
and will cut him in sunder, and will
appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers."
Luke 12:47 "And that servant, which knew
his lord's will, and prepared not
[himself], neither did according to his
will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]."
Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes, shall be
beaten with few [stripes]. For unto
whomsoever much is given, of him shall be
much required: and to whom men have
committed much, of him they will ask the
more."
Luke 12:49 "I am come to send fire on the
earth; and what will I, if it be already
kindled?"
Luke 12:50 "But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I straitened till
it be accomplished!"
Luke 12:51 "Suppose ye that I am come to
give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but
rather division:"
Luke 12:52 "For from henceforth there shall
be five in one house divided, three against
two, and two against three."
Luke 12:53 "The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against the daughter,
and the daughter against the mother; the
mother in law against her daughter in law,
and the daughter in law against her mother
in law."
Luke 12:54 "And he said also to the people,
When ye see a cloud rise out of the west,
straightway ye say, There cometh a shower;
and so it is."
Luke 12:55 "And when [ye see] the south
wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and
it cometh to pass."
Luke 12:56 "[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the earth; but
how is it that ye do not discern this
time?"
Luke 12:57 "Yea, and why even of yourselves
judge ye not what is right?"
Luke 12:58 "When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art]
in the way, give diligence that thou mayest
be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to
the judge, and the judge deliver thee to
the officer, and the officer cast thee into
prison."
Luke 12:59 "I tell thee, thou shalt not
depart thence, till thou hast paid the very
last mite."
Luke 13
Luke Chapter 13
Luke 13:1 "There
were present at
that season some
that told him of
the Galileans,
whose blood Pilate
had mingled with
their sacrifices."
Luke 13:2 "And
Jesus answering
said unto them,
Suppose ye that
these Galileans
were sinners above
all the Galileans,
because they
suffered such
things?"
Luke 13:3 "I tell
you, Nay: but,
except ye repent,
ye shall all
likewise perish."
Luke 13:4 "Or those
eighteen, upon whom
the tower in Siloam
fell, and slew
them, think ye that
they were sinners
above all men that
dwelt in
Jerusalem?"
Luke 13:5 "I tell
you, Nay: but,
except ye repent,
ye shall all
likewise perish."
Luke 13:6 "He spake
also this parable;
A certain [man] had
a fig tree planted
in his vineyard;
and he came and
sought fruit
thereon, and found
none."
Luke 13:7 "Then
said he unto the
dresser of his
vineyard, Behold,
these three years I
come seeking fruit
on this fig tree,
and find none: cut
it down; why
cumbereth it the
ground?"
Luke 13:8-9 "And he
answering said unto
him, Lord, let it
alone this year
also, till I shall
dig about it, and
dung [it]:" "And if
it bear fruit,
[well]: and if not,
[then] after that
thou shalt cut it
down."
Luke 13:10 "And he
was teaching in one
of the synagogues
on the sabbath."
Luke 13:11 "And,
behold, there was a
woman which had a
spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and
was bowed together,
and could in no
wise lift up
[herself]."
Luke 13:12 "And
when Jesus saw her,
he called [her to
him], and said unto
her, Woman, thou
art loosed from
thine infirmity."
Luke 13:13 "And he
laid [his] hands on
her: and
immediately she was
made straight, and
glorified God."
Luke 13:14 "And the
ruler of the
synagogue answered
with indignation,
because that Jesus
had healed on the
sabbath day, and
said unto the
people, There are
six days in which
men ought to work:
in them therefore
come and be healed,
and not on the
sabbath day."
Luke 13:15 "The
Lord then answered
him, and said,
[Thou] hypocrite,
doth not each one
of you on the
sabbath loose his
ox or [his] ass
from the stall, and
lead [him] away to
watering?"
Luke 13:16 "And
ought not this
woman, being a
daughter of
Abraham, whom Satan
hath bound, lo,
these eighteen
years, be loosed
from this bond on
the sabbath day?"
Luke 13:17 "And
when he had said
these things, all
his adversaries
were ashamed: and
all the people
rejoiced for all
the glorious things
that were done by
him."
Luke 13:18 "Then
said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of
God like? and
whereunto shall I
resemble it?"
Luke 13:19 "It is
like a grain of
mustard seed, which
a man took, and
cast into his
garden; and it
grew, and waxed a
great tree; and the
fowls of the air
lodged in the
branches of it."
Luke 13:20-21 "And
again he said,
Whereunto shall I
liken the kingdom
of God?" "It is
like leaven, which
a woman took and
hid in three
measures of meal,
till the whole was
leavened."
Luke 13:22 "And he went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem."
Luke 13:23 "Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved? And he said
unto them,"
Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the
strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
Luke 13:25 "When once the master of the
house is risen up, and hath shut to the
door, and ye begin to stand without, and to
knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open
unto us; and he shall answer and say unto
you, I know you not whence ye are:"
Luke 13:26 "Then shall ye begin to say, We
have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and
thou hast taught in our streets." "But he
shall say, I tell you, I know you not
whence ye are; depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity."
Luke 13:28 "There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you
[yourselves] thrust out."
Luke 13:29 "And they shall come from the
east, and [from] the west, and from the
north, and [from] the south, and shall sit
down in the kingdom of God."
Luke 13:30 "And, behold, there are last
which shall be first, and there are first
which shall be last."
Luke 13:31 "The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee
out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill
thee."
Luke 13:33 "Nevertheless I must walk today,
and tomorrow, and the [day] following: for
it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem."
Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which
killest the prophets, and stonest them that
are sent unto thee; how often would I have
gathered thy children together, as a hen
[doth gather] her brood under [her] wings,
and ye would not!"
Luke 13:35 "Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye
shall not see me, until [the time] come
when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that
cometh in the name of the Lord."
Luke 14
Luke Chapter 14
Luke 14:1 "And it
came to pass, as he
went into the house
of one of the chief
Pharisees to eat
bread on the
sabbath day, that
they watched him."
Luke 14:2 "And,
behold, there was a
certain man before
him which had the
dropsy."
Luke 14:3 "And
Jesus answering
spake unto the
lawyers and
Pharisees, saying,
Is it lawful to
heal on the sabbath
day?"
Luke 14:4 "And they
held their peace.
And he took [him],
and healed him, and
let him go;"
Luke 14:5 "And
answered them,
saying, Which of
you shall have an
ass or an ox fallen
into a pit, and
will not
straightway pull
him out on the
sabbath day?"
Luke 14:6 "And they
could not answer
him again to these
things."
Luke 14:7 "And he
put forth a parable
to those which were
bidden, when he
marked how they
chose out the chief
rooms; saying unto
them,"
Luke 14:8-9 "When
thou art bidden of
any [man] to a
wedding, sit not
down in the highest
room; lest a more
honorable man than
thou be bidden of
him;" "And he that
bade thee and him
come and say to
thee, Give this man
place; and thou
begin with shame to
take the lowest
room."
Luke 14:10 "But
when thou art
bidden, go and sit
down in the lowest
room; that when he
that bade thee
cometh, he may say
unto thee, Friend,
go up higher: then
shalt thou have
worship in the
presence of them
that sit at meat
with thee."
Luke 14:11 "For
whosoever exalteth
himself shall be
abased; and he that
humbleth himself
shall be exalted."
Luke 14:12 "Then
said he also to him
that bade him, When
thou makest a
dinner or a supper,
call not thy
friends, nor thy
brethren, neither
thy kinsmen, nor
[thy] rich
neighbors; lest
they also bid thee
again, and a
recompence be made
thee."
Luke 14:13-14 "But
when thou makest a
feast, call the
poor, the maimed,
the lame, the
blind:" "And thou
shalt be blessed;
for they cannot
recompense thee:
for thou shalt be
recompensed at the
resurrection of the
just."
Luke 14:15 "And
when one of them
that sat at meat
with him heard
these things, he
said unto him,
Blessed [is] he
that shall eat
bread in the
kingdom of God."
Luke 14:16 "Then said he unto him, A
certain man made a great supper, and bade
many:"
Luke 14:17 "And sent his servant at supper
time to say to them that were bidden, Come;
for all things are now ready."
Luke 14:18 "And they all with one [consent]
began to make excuse. The first said unto
him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I
must needs go and see it: I pray thee have
me excused."
Luke 14:19 "And another said, I have bought
five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them:
I pray thee have me excused."
Luke 14:20 "And another said, I have
married a wife, and therefore I cannot
come."
Luke 14:21 "So that servant came, and
shewed his lord these things. Then the
master of the house being angry said to his
servant, go out quickly into the streets
and lanes of the city, and bring in hither
the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and
the blind."
Luke 14:22 "And the servant said, Lord, it
is done as thou hast commanded, and yet
there is room."
Luke 14:24 "For I say unto you, That none
of those men which were bidden shall taste
of my supper."
Luke 14:25 "And there went great multitudes
with him: and he turned, and said unto
them,"
Luke 14:26 "If any [man] come to me, and
hate not his father, and mother, and wife,
and children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple."
Luke 14:27 "And whosoever doth not bear his
cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple."
Luke 14:28-29 "For which of you, intending
to build a tower, sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost, whether he have
[sufficient] to finish [it]?" "Lest haply,
after he hath laid the foundation, and is
not able to finish [it], all that behold
[it] begin to mock him,"
Luke 14:30 "Saying, This man began to
build, and was not able to finish."
Luke 14:31 "Or what king, going to make war
against another king, sitteth not down
first, and consulteth whether he be able
with ten thousand to meet him that cometh
against him with twenty thousand?"
Luke 14:32 "Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions of peace."
Luke 14:33 "So likewise, whosoever he be of
you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he
cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:34 "Salt [is] good: but if the salt
have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be
seasoned?"
Luke 14:35 "It is neither fit for the land,
nor yet for the dunghill; [but] men cast it
out. He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear."
Luke 15
Luke Chapter 15
Luke 15:1 "Then drew near unto him all the
publicans and sinners for to hear him."
Luke 15:2 "And the Pharisees and scribes
murmured, saying, This man receiveth
sinners, and eateth with them."
Luke 15:3-4 "And he spake this parable unto
them, saying," "What man of you, having a
hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth
not leave the ninety and nine in the
wilderness, and go after that which is
lost, until he find it?"
Luke 15:5 "And when he hath found [it], he
layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing."
Luke 15:6 "And when he cometh home, he
calleth together [his] friends and
neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with
me; for I have found my sheep which was
lost."
Luke 15:7 "I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that
repenteth, more than over ninety and nine
just persons, which need no repentance."
Luke 15:8 "Either what woman having ten
pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
doth not light a candle, and sweep the
house, and seek diligently till she find
[it]?"
Luke 15:9 "And when she hath found [it],
she calleth [her] friends and [her]
neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with
me; for I have found the piece which I had
lost."
Luke 15:10 "Likewise, I say unto you, there
is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth."
Luke 15:11-12 "And he said, A certain man
had two sons:" "And the younger of them
said to [his] father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And
he divided unto them [his] living."
Luke 15:13 "And not many days after the
younger son gathered all together, and took
his journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotous living."
Luke 15:14-15 "And when he had spent all,
there arose a mighty famine in that land;
and he began to be in want." "And he went
and joined himself to a citizen of that
country; and he sent him into his fields to
feed swine."
Luke 15:16 "And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the swine did
eat: and no man gave unto him."
Luke 15:17 "And when he came to himself, he
said, How many hired servants of my
father's have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger!"
Luke 15:18 "I will arise and go to my
father, and will say unto him, Father, I
have sinned against heaven, and before
thee,"
Luke 15:19 "And am no more worthy to be
called thy son: make me as one of thy hired
servants."
Luke 15:20 "And he arose, and came to his
father. But when he was yet a great way
off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck,
and kissed him."
Luke 15:21 "And the son said unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be
called thy son."
Luke 15:22 "But the father said to his
servants, Bring forth the best robe, and
put [it] on him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on [his] feet:"
Luke 15:23 "And bring hither the fatted
calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and be
merry:"
Luke 15:24 "For this my son was dead, and
is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry."
Luke 15:25 "Now his elder son was in the
field: and as he came and drew nigh to the
house, he heard music and dancing."
Luke 15:26 "And he called one of the
servants, and asked what these things
meant."
Luke 15:27 "And he said unto him, Thy
brother is come; and thy father hath killed
the fatted calf, because he hath received
him safe and sound."
Luke 15:28 "And he was angry, and would not
go in: therefore came his father out, and
entreated him."
Luke 15:29 "And he answering said to [his]
father, Lo, these many years do I serve
thee, neither transgressed I at any time
thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest
me a kid, that I might make merry with my
friends:"
Luke 15:30 "But as soon as this thy son was
come, which hath devoured thy living with
harlots, thou hast killed for him the
fatted calf."
Luke 15:31 "And he said unto him, Son, thou
art ever with me, and all that I have is
thine."
Luke 15:32 "It was meet that we should make
merry, and be glad: for this thy brother
was dead, and is alive again; and was lost,
and is found."
Luke 16
Luke Chapter 16
Luke 16:1 "And he
said also unto his
disciples, There
was a certain rich
man, which had a
steward; and the
same was accused
unto him that he
had wasted his
goods."
Luke 16:2 "And he
called him, and
said unto him, How
is it that I hear
this of thee? give
an account of thy
stewardship; for
thou mayest be no
longer steward."
Luke 16:3 "Then the
steward said within
himself, What shall
I do? for my lord
taketh away from me
the stewardship: I
cannot dig; to beg
I am ashamed."
Luke 16:4 "I am
resolved what to
do, that, when I am
put out of the
stewardship, they
may receive me into
their houses."
Luke 16:5-6 "So he
called every one of
his lord's debtors
[unto him], and
said unto the
first, How much
owest thou unto my
lord?" "And he
said, A hundred
measures of oil.
And he said unto
him, Take thy bill,
and sit down
quickly, and write
fifty."
Luke 16:7 "Then
said he to another,
And how much owest
thou? And he said,
A hundred measures
of wheat. And he
said unto him, Take
thy bill, and write
fourscore."
Luke 16:8 "And the
lord commended the
unjust steward,
because he had done
wisely: for the
children of this
world are in their
generation wiser
than the children
of light."
Luke 16:9 "And I
say unto you, Make
to yourselves
friends of the
mammon of
unrighteousness;
that, when ye fail,
they may receive
you into
everlasting
habitations."
Luke 16:10 "He that
is faithful in that
which is least is
faithful also in
much: and he that
is unjust in the
least is unjust
also in much."
Luke 16:11 "If
therefore ye have
not been faithful
in the unrighteous
mammon, who will
commit to your
trust the true
[riches]?"
Luke 16:12 "And if
ye have not been
faithful in that
which is another
man's, who shall
give you that which
is your own?"
Luke 16:13 "No
servant can serve
two masters: for
either he will hate
the one, and love
the other; or else
he will hold to the
one, and despise
the other. Ye
cannot serve God
and mammon."
Luke 16:14 "And the
Pharisees also, who
were covetous,
heard all these
things: and they
derided him."
Luke 16:15 "And he
said unto them, Ye
are they which
justify yourselves
before men; but God
knoweth your
hearts: for that
which is highly
esteemed among men
is abomination in
the sight of God."
Luke 16:16 "The law
and the prophets
[were] until John:
since that time the
kingdom of God is
preached, and every
man presseth into
it."
Luke 16:17 "And it
is easier for
heaven and earth to
pass, than one
tittle of the law
to fail."
Luke 16:18
"Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and
marrieth another,
committeth
adultery: and
whosoever marrieth
her that is put
away from [her]
husband committeth
adultery."
Luke 16:19 "There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple and fine linen,
and fared sumptuously every day:"
Luke 16:20 "And there was a certain beggar
named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate,
full of sores,"
Luke 16:21 "And desiring to be fed with the
crumbs which fell from the rich man's
table: moreover the dogs came and licked
his sores."
Luke 16:22 "And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by the angels
into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also
died, and was buried;"
Luke 16:23 "And in hell he lift up his
eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
Luke 16:24 "And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his
finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I
am tormented in this flame."
Luke 16:25 "But Abraham said, Son, remember
that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy
good things, and likewise Lazarus evil
things: but now he is comforted, and thou
art tormented."
Luke 16:26 "And beside all this, between us
and you there is a great gulf fixed: so
that they which would pass from hence to
you cannot; neither can they pass to us,
that [would come] from thence."
Luke 16:27-28 "Then he said, I pray thee
therefore, father, that thou wouldest send
him to my father's house:" "For I have five
brethren; that he may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this place of
torment."
Luke 16:29 "Abraham saith unto him, They
have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them."
Luke 16:30 "And he said, Nay, father
Abraham: but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent."
Luke 16:31 "And he said unto him, If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose
from the dead."
Luke 17
Luke Chapter 17
Luke 17:1 "Then
said he unto the
disciples, It is
impossible but that
offences will come:
but woe [unto him],
through whom they
come!"
Luke 17:2 "It were
better for him that
a millstone were
hanged about his
neck, and he cast
into the sea, than
that he should
offend one of these
little ones."
Luke 17:3 "Take
heed to yourselves:
If thy brother
trespass against
thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent,
forgive him."
Luke 17:4 "And if
he trespass against
thee seven times in
a day, and seven
times in a day turn
again to thee,
saying, I repent;
thou shalt forgive
him."
Luke 17:5 "And the
apostles said unto
the Lord, Increase
our faith."
Luke 17:6 "And the
Lord said, If ye
had faith as a
grain of mustard
seed, ye might say
unto this sycamine
tree, Be thou
plucked up by the
root, and be thou
planted in the sea;
and it should obey
you."
Luke 17:7 "But
which of you,
having a servant
plowing or feeding
cattle, will say
unto him by and by,
when he is come
from the field, Go
and sit down to
meat?"
Luke 17:8 "And will
not rather say unto
him, Make ready
wherewith I may
sup, and gird
thyself, and serve
me, till I have
eaten and drunken;
and afterward thou
shalt eat and
drink?"
Luke 17:9 "Doth he
thank that servant
because he did the
things that were
commanded him? I
trow not."
Luke 17:10 "So
likewise ye, when
ye shall have done
all those things
which are commanded
you, say, We are
unprofitable
servants: we have
done that which was
our duty to do."
Luke 17:11 "And it
came to pass, as he
went to Jerusalem,
that he passed
through the midst
of Samaria and
Galilee."
Luke 17:12 "And as
he entered into a
certain village,
there met him ten
men that were
lepers, which stood
afar off:"
Luke 17:13 "And
they lifted up
[their] voices, and
said, Jesus,
Master, have mercy
on us."
Luke 17:14 "And when he saw [them],
he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass,
that, as they went, they were cleansed."
Luke 17:15 "And one
of them, when he
saw that he was
healed, turned
back, and with a
loud voice
glorified God,"
Luke 17:16 "And
fell down on [his]
face at his feet,
giving him thanks:
and he was a
Samaritan."
Luke 17:17-18 "And
Jesus answering
said, Were there
not ten cleansed?
but where [are] the
nine?" "There are
not found that
returned to give
glory to God, save
this stranger."
Luke 17:19 "And he
said unto him,
Arise, go thy way:
thy faith hath made
thee whole."
Luke 17:20 "And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with
observation:"
Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo
here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 17:22 "And he said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when ye shall desire to
see one of the days of the Son of man, and
ye shall not see [it]."
Luke 17:23 "And they shall say to you, See
here; or, see there: go not after [them],
nor follow [them]."
Luke 17:24 "For as the lightning, that
lighteneth out of the one [part] under
heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under
heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in
his day."
Luke 17:25 "But first must he suffer many
things, and be rejected of this
generation."
Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of
Noah, so shall it be also in the days of
the Son of man."
Luke 17:27 "They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noah entered into the
ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them
all."
Luke 17:28 "Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they
bought, they sold, they planted, they
builded;"
Luke 17:29 "But the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed [them] all."
Luke 17:30 "Even thus shall it be in the
day when the Son of man is revealed."
Luke 17:31 "In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff in the
house, let him not come down to take it
away: and he that is in the field, let him
likewise not return back."
Luke 17:32 "Remember Lot's wife."
Luke 17:33 "Whosoever shall seek to save
his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall
lose his life shall preserve it."
Luke 17:34 "I tell you, in that night there
shall be two [men] in one bed; the one
shall be taken, and the other shall be
left."
Luke 17:35 "Two [women] shall be grinding
together; the one shall be taken, and the
other left."
Luke 17:36 "Two [men] shall be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left."
Luke 17:37 "And they answered and said unto
him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the
eagles be gathered together."
Luke 18
Luke Chapter 18
Luke 18:1 "And he
spake a parable
unto them [to this
end], that men
ought always to
pray, and not to
faint;"
Luke 18:2 Saying,
"There was in a
city a judge, which
feared not God,
neither regarded
man:"
Luke 18:3 "And
there was a widow
in that city; and
she came unto him,
saying, Avenge me
of mine adversary."
Luke 18:4-5 "And he
would not for a
while: but
afterward he said
within himself,
Though I fear not
God, nor regard
man;" "Yet because
this widow
troubleth me, I
will avenge her,
lest by her
continual coming
she weary me."
Luke 18:6 "And the
Lord said, Hear
what the unjust
judge saith."
Luke 18:7 "And
shall not God
avenge his own
elect, which cry
day and night unto
him, though he bear
long with them?"
Luke 18:8 "I tell
you that he will
avenge them
speedily.
Nevertheless when
the Son of man
cometh, shall he
find faith on the
earth?"
Luke 18:9 "And he
spake this parable
unto certain which
trusted in
themselves that
they were
righteous, and
despised others:"
Luke 18:10 "Two men
went up into the
temple to pray; the
one a Pharisee, and
the other a
publican."
Luke 18:11 "The
Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with
himself, God, I
thank thee, that I
am not as other men
[are],
extortionists,
unjust, adulterers,
or even as this
publican."
Luke 18:12 "I fast
twice in the week,
I give tithes of
all that I
possess."
Luke 18:13 "And the
publican, standing
afar off, would not
lift up so much as
[his] eyes unto
heaven, but smote
upon his breast,
saying, God be
merciful to me a
sinner."
Luke 18:14 "I tell
you, this man went
down to his house
justified [rather]
than the other: for
every one that
exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that
humbleth himself
shall be exalted."
Luke 18:15 "And
they brought unto
him also infants,
that he would touch
them: but when
[his] disciples saw
[it], they rebuked
them."
Luke 18:16 "But
Jesus called them
[unto him], and
said, Suffer little
children to come
unto me, and forbid
them not: for of
such is the kingdom
of God."
Luke 18:17 "Verily
I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not
receive the kingdom
of God as a little
child shall in no
wise enter
therein."
Luke 18:18 "And a certain ruler asked him,
saying, Good Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?"
Luke 18:19 "And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? none [is] good, save
one, [that is], God."
Luke 18:20 "Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy
father and thy mother."
Luke 18:21 "And he said, All these have I
kept from my youth up."
Luke 18:22 "Now when Jesus heard these
things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou
one thing: sell all that thou hast, and
distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, follow
me."
Luke 18:23 "And when he heard this, he was
very sorrowful: for he was very rich."
Luke 18:24 "And when Jesus saw that he was
very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall
they that have riches enter into the
kingdom of God!"
Luke 18:25 "For it is easier for a camel to
go through a needle's eye, than for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Luke 18:26 "And they that heard [it] said,
Who then can be saved?"
Luke 18:27-30 "And he said, The things
which are impossible with men are possible
with God." "Then Peter said, Lo, we have
left all, and followed thee." "And he said
unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is
no man that hath left house, or parents, or
brethren, or wife, or children, for the
kingdom of God's sake," "Who shall not
receive manifold more in this present time,
and in the world to come life everlasting."
Luke 18:31 "Then he took [unto him] the
twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go
up to Jerusalem, and all things that are
written by the prophets concerning the Son
of man shall be accomplished."
Luke 18:32 "For he shall be delivered unto
the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and
spitefully entreated, and spitted on:"
Luke 18:33 "And they shall scourge [him],
and put him to death: and the third day he
shall rise again."
Luke 18:34 "And they understood none of
these things: and this saying was hid from
them, neither knew they the things which
were spoken."
Luke 18:35 "And it came to pass, that as he
was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind
man sat by the way side begging:"
Luke 18:36 "And hearing the multitude pass
by, he asked what it meant."
Luke 18:37 "And they told him, that Jesus
of Nazareth passeth by."
Luke 18:38 "And he cried, saying, Jesus,
[thou] son of David, have mercy on me."
Luke 18:39 "And they which went before
rebuked him, that he should hold his peace:
but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son
of David, have mercy on me."
Luke 18:40-41 "And Jesus stood, and
commanded him to be brought unto him: and
when he was come near, he asked him,"
"Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do
unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may
receive my sight."
Luke 18:42 "And Jesus said unto him,
Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved
thee."
Luke 18:43 And immediately he received his
sight, and followed him, glorifying God:
and all the people, when they saw [it],
gave praise unto God."
Luke 19
Luke Chapter 19
Luke 19:1 "And
[Jesus] entered and
passed through
Jericho."
Luke 19:2 "And,
behold, [there was]
a man named
Zacchaeus, which
was the chief among
the publicans, and
he was rich."
Luke 19:3 "And he
sought to see Jesus
who he was; and
could not for the
press, because he
was little of
stature."
Luke 19:4 "And he
ran before, and
climbed up into a
sycomore tree to
see him: for he was
to pass that
[way]."
Luke 19:5 "And when
Jesus came to the
place, he looked
up, and saw him,
and said unto him,
Zacchaeus, make
haste, and come
down; for to day I
must abide at thy
house."
Luke 19:6 "And he
made haste, and
came down, and
received him
joyfully."
Luke 19:7 "And when
they saw [it], they
all murmured,
saying, That he was
gone to be guest
with a man that is
a sinner."
Luke 19:8 "And
Zacchaeus stood,
and said unto the
Lord; Behold, Lord,
the half of my
goods I give to the
poor; and if I have
taken any thing
from any man by
false accusation, I
restore [him]
fourfold."
Luke 19:9 "And
Jesus said unto
him, This day is
salvation come to
this house,
forsomuch as he
also is a son of
Abraham."
Luke 19:10 "For the
Son of man is come
to seek and to save
that which was
lost."
Luke 19:11 "And as
they heard these
things, he added
and spake a
parable, because he
was nigh to
Jerusalem, and
because they
thought that the
kingdom of God
should immediately
appear."
Luke 19:12 "He said
therefore, A
certain nobleman
went into a far
country to receive
for himself a
kingdom, and to
return."
Luke 19:13 "And he
called his ten
servants, and
delivered them ten
pounds, and said
unto them, Occupy
till I come."
Luke 19:14 "But his
citizens hated him,
and sent a message
after him, saying,
We will not have
this [man] to reign
over us."
Luke 19:15 "And it
came to pass, that
when he was
returned, having
received the
kingdom, then he
commanded these
servants to be
called unto him, to
whom he had given
the money, that he
might know how much
every man had
gained by trading."
Luke 19:16-17 "Then
came the first,
saying, Lord, thy
pound hath gained
ten pounds." "And
he said unto him,
Well, thou good
servant: because
thou hast been
faithful in a very
little, have thou
authority over ten
cities."
Luke 19:18-19 "And
the second came,
saying, Lord, thy
pound hath gained
five pounds." "And
he said likewise to
him, Be thou also
over five cities."
Luke 19:20 "And
another came,
saying, Lord,
behold, [here is]
thy pound, which I
have kept laid up
in a napkin:"
Luke 19:21 "For I
feared thee,
because thou art an
austere man: thou
takest up that thou
layedst not down,
and reapest that
thou didst not
sow."
Luke 19:22 "And he
saith unto him, Out
of thine own mouth
will I judge thee,
[thou] wicked
servant. Thou
knewest that I was
an austere man,
taking up that I
laid not down, and
reaping that I did
not sow:"
Luke 19:23
"Wherefore then
gavest not thou my
money into the
bank, that at my
coming I might have
required mine own
with usury?"
Luke 19:24 "And he
said unto them that
stood by, Take from
him the pound, and
give [it] to him
that hath ten
pounds."
Luke 19:25 "(And
they said unto him,
Lord, he hath ten
pounds.)"
Luke 19:26 "For I
say unto you, That
unto every one
which hath shall be
given; and from him
that hath not, even
that he hath shall
be taken away from
him."
Luke 19:27 "But
those mine enemies,
which would not
that I should reign
over them, bring
hither, and slay
[them] before me."
Luke 19:28 "And when he had thus spoken, he
went before, ascending up to Jerusalem."
Luke 19:29 "And it came to pass, when he
was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he
sent two of his disciples,"
Luke 19:30 "Saying, Go ye into the
village over against [you]; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt
tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither]."
Luke 19:31 "And if any man ask you, Why do
ye loose [him]? Thus shall ye say unto him,
Because the Lord hath need of him."
Luke 19:32-33 "And they that were sent went
their way, and found even as he had said
unto them." "And as they were loosing the
colt, the owners thereof said unto them,
Why loose ye the colt?"
Luke 19:34 "And they said, The Lord hath
need of him."
Luke 19:35 "And they brought him to Jesus:
and they cast their garments upon the colt,
and they set Jesus thereon."
Luke 19:36 "And as he went, they spread
their clothes in the way."
Luke 19:37 "And when he was come nigh, even
now at the descent of the mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began
to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice
for all the mighty works that they had
seen;"
Luke 19:38 "Saying, Blessed [be] the King
that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest."
Luke 19:39 "And some of the Pharisees from
among the multitude said unto him, Master,
rebuke thy disciples."
Luke 19:40 "And he answered and said unto
them, I tell you that, if these should hold
their peace, the stones would immediately
cry out."
Luke 19:41 "And when he was come near, he
beheld the city, and wept over it,"
Luke 19:42 "Saying, If thou hadst known,
even thou, at least in this thy day, the
things [which belong] unto thy peace! but
now they are hid from thine eyes."
Luke 19:43 "For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round,
and keep thee in on every side,"
Luke 19:44 "And shall lay thee even with
the ground, and thy children within thee;
and they shall not leave in thee one stone
upon another; because thou knewest not the
time of thy visitation."
Luke 19:45-46 "And he went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that sold
therein, and them that bought;" "Saying
unto them, It is written, My house is the
house of prayer: but ye have made it a den
of thieves."
Luke 19:47 "And he taught daily in the
temple. But the chief priests and the
scribes and the chief of the people sought
to destroy him,"
Luke 19:48 "And could not find what they
might do: for all the people were very
attentive to hear him."
Luke 20
Luke Chapter 20
Luke 20:1 "And it
came to pass,
[that] on one of
those days, as he
taught the people
in the temple, and
preached the
gospel, the chief
priests and the
scribes came upon
[him] with the
elders,"
Luke 20:2 "And
spake unto him,
saying, Tell us, by
what authority
doest thou these
things? or who is
he that gave thee
this authority?"
Luke 20:3-4 "And he
answered and said
unto them, I will
also ask you one
thing; and answer
me:" "The baptism
of John, was it
from heaven, or of
men?"
Luke 20:5 "And they
reasoned with
themselves, saying,
If we shall say,
From heaven; he
will say, Why then
believed ye him
not?"
Luke 20:6 "But and
if we say, Of men;
all the people will
stone us: for they
be persuaded that
John was a
prophet."
Luke 20:7 "And they
answered, that they
could not tell
whence [it was]."
Luke 20:8 "And
Jesus said unto
them, Neither tell
I you by what
authority I do
these things."
Luke 20:9 "Then
began he to speak
to the people this
parable; A certain
man planted a
vineyard, and let
it forth to
husbandmen, and
went into a far
country for a long
time."
Luke 20:10 "And at
the season he sent
a servant to the
husbandmen, that
they should give
him of the fruit of
the vineyard: but
the husbandmen beat
him, and sent [him]
away empty."
Luke 20:11-12 "And
again he sent
another servant:
and they beat him
also, and entreated
[him] shamefully,
and sent [him] away
empty." "And again
he sent a third:
and they wounded
him also, and cast
[him] out."
Luke 20:13 "Then
said the lord of
the vineyard, What
shall I do? I will
send my beloved
son: it may be they
will reverence
[him] when they see
him."
Luke 20:14 "But
when the husbandmen
saw him, they
reasoned among
themselves, saying,
This is the heir:
come, let us kill
him, that the
inheritance may be
ours."
Luke 20:15 "So they
cast him out of the
vineyard, and
killed [him]. What
therefore shall the
lord of the
vineyard do unto
them?"
Luke 20:16 "He
shall come and
destroy these
husbandmen, and
shall give the
vineyard to others.
And when they heard
[it], they said,
God forbid."
Luke 20:17 "And he
beheld them, and
said, What is this
then that is
written, The stone
which the builders
rejected, the same
is become the head
of the corner?"
Luke 20:18
"Whosoever shall
fall upon that
stone shall be
broken; but on
whomsoever it shall
fall, it will grind
him to powder."
Luke 20:19 "And the
chief priests and
the scribes the
same hour sought to
lay hands on him;
and they feared the
people: for they
perceived that he
had spoken this
parable against
them."
Luke 20:20 "And
they watched [him],
and sent forth
spies, which should
feign themselves
just men, that they
might take hold of
his words, that so
they might deliver
him unto the power
and authority of
the governor."
Luke 20:21 "And they asked him, saying,
Master, we know that thou sayest and
teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou
the person [of any], but teachest the way
of God truly:"
Luke 20:22 "Is it lawful for us to give
tribute unto Caesar, or no?"
Luke 20:23 "But he perceived their
craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt
ye me?"
Luke 20:24 "Shew me a penny. Whose image
and superscription hath it? They answered
and said, Caesar's."
Luke 20:25 "And he said unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which be
Caesar's, and unto God the things which be
God's."
Luke 20:26 "And they could not take hold of
his words before the people: and they
marveled at his answer, and held their
peace."
Luke 20:27 "Then came to [him] certain of
the Sadducees, which deny that there is any
resurrection; and they asked him,"
Luke 20:28 "Saying, Master, Moses wrote
unto us, If any man's brother die, having a
wife, and he die without children, that his
brother should take his wife, and raise up
seed unto his brother."
Luke 20:29-33 "There were therefore seven
brethren: and the first took a wife, and
died without children." "And the second
took her to wife, and he died childless."
"And the third took her; and in like manner
the seven also: and they left no children,
and died." "Last of all the woman died
also." "Therefore in the resurrection whose
wife of them is she? for seven had her to
wife."
Luke 20:34-35 "And Jesus answering said
unto them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage:" "But
they which shall be accounted worthy to
obtain that world, and the resurrection
from the dead, neither marry, nor are given
in marriage:"
Luke 20:36 "Neither can they die any more:
for they are equal unto the angels; and are
the children of God, being the children of
the resurrection."
Luke 20:37 "Now that the dead are raised,
even Moses showed at the bush, when he
calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
Luke 20:38 "For he is not a God of the
dead, but of the living: for all live unto
him."
Luke 20:39 "Then certain of the scribes
answering said, Master, thou hast well
said."
Luke 20:40 "And after that they durst not
ask him any [question at all]."
Luke 20:41-44 "And he said unto them, How
say they that Christ is David's son?" "And
David himself saith in the book of Psalms,
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand," "Till I make thine enemies thy
footstool." "David therefore calleth him
Lord, how is he then his son?"
Luke 20:45-47 "Then in the audience of all
the people he said unto his disciples,"
"Beware of the scribes, which desire to
walk in long robes, and love greetings in
the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;"
"Which devour widows' houses, and for a
shew make long prayers: the same shall
receive greater damnation."
Luke 21
Luke Chapter 21
Luke 21:1 "And he
looked up, and saw
the rich men
casting their gifts
into the treasury."
Luke 21:2 "And he
saw also a certain
poor widow casting
in thither two
mites."
Luke 21:3 "And he
said, Of a truth I
say unto you, that
this poor widow
hath cast in more
than they all:"
Luke 21:4 "For all
these have of their
abundance cast in
unto the offerings
of God: but she of
her penury hath
cast in all the
living that she
had."
Luke 21:5 "And as
some spake of the
temple, how it was
adorned with goodly
stones and gifts,
he said,"
Luke 21:6 "[As for]
these things which
ye behold, the days
will come, in the
which there shall
not be left one
stone upon another,
that shall not be
thrown down."
Luke 21:7 "And they
asked him, saying,
Master, but when
shall these things
be? and what sign
[will there be]
when these things
shall come to
pass?"
Luke 21:8 "And he
said, Take heed
that ye be not
deceived: for many
shall come in my
name, saying, I am
[Christ]; and the
time draweth near:
go ye not therefore
after them."
Luke 21:9 "But when
ye shall hear of
wars and
commotions, be not
terrified: for
these things must
first come to pass;
but the end [is]
not by and by."
Luke 21:10 "Then
said he unto them,
Nation shall rise
against nation, and
kingdom against
kingdom:" "And
great earthquakes
shall be in divers
places, and
famines, and
pestilences; and
fearful sights and
great signs shall
there be from
heaven."
Luke 21:12 "But
before all these,
they shall lay
their hands on you,
and persecute
[you], delivering
[you] up to the
synagogues, and
into prisons, being
brought before
kings and rulers
for my name's
sake."
Luke 21:13 "And it
shall turn to you
for a testimony."
Luke 21:14 "Settle
[it] therefore in
your hearts, not to
meditate before
what ye shall
answer:"
Luke 21:15 "For I
will give you a
mouth and wisdom,
which all your
adversaries shall
not be able to
gainsay nor
resist."
Luke 21:16 "And ye
shall be betrayed
both by parents,
and brethren, and
kinsfolks, and
friends; and [some]
of you shall they
cause to be put to
death."
Luke 21:17 "And ye
shall be hated of
all [men] for my
name's sake."
Luke 21:18 "But
there shall not a
hair of your head
perish."
Luke 21:19 "In your
patience possess ye
your souls."
Luke 21:20 "And when ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the
desolation thereof is nigh."
Luke 21:21 "Then let them which are in
Judea flee to the mountains; and let them
which are in the midst of it depart out;
and let not them that are in the countries
enter thereinto."
Luke 21:22 "For these be the days of
vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled."
Luke 21:23 "But woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck, in those
days! for there shall be great distress in
the land, and wrath upon this people."
Luke 21:24 "And they shall fall by the edge
of the sword, and shall be led away captive
into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be
trodden down of the Gentiles, until the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"
Luke 21:26 "Men's hearts failing them for
fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken."
Luke 21:27 "And then shall they see the Son
of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory."
Luke 21:28 "And when these things begin to
come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth
nigh."
Luke 21:29-30 "And he spake to them a
parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the
trees;" When they now shoot forth, ye see
and know of your own selves that summer is
now nigh at hand."
Luke 21:31-32 "So likewise ye, when ye see
these things come to pass, know ye that the
kingdom of God is nigh at hand." "Verily I
say unto you, This generation shall not
pass away, till all be fulfilled."
Luke 21:33 "Heaven and earth shall pass
away: but my words shall not pass away."
Luke 21:34 "And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares
of this life, and [so] that day come upon
you unawares."
Luke 21:35-36 "For as a snare shall it come
on all them that dwell on the face of the
whole earth." "Watch ye therefore, and pray
always, that ye may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to
pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
Luke 21:37 "And in the day time he was
teaching in the temple; and at night he
went out, and abode in the mount that is
called [the mount] of Olives."
Luke 21:38 "And all the people came early
in the morning to him in the temple, for to
hear him."
Luke 22
Luke Chapter 22
Luke 22:1 "Now the
feast of unleavened
bread drew nigh,
which is called the
Passover."
Luke 22:2 "And the
chief priests and
scribes sought how
they might kill
him; for they
feared the people."
Luke 22:3 "Then
entered Satan into
Judas surnamed
Iscariot, being of
the number of the
twelve."
Luke 22:4 "And he
went his way, and
communed with the
chief priests and
captains, how he
might betray him
unto them."
Luke 22:5 "And they
were glad, and
covenanted to give
him money."
Luke 22:6 "And he
promised, and
sought opportunity
to betray him unto
them in the absence
of the multitude."
Luke 22:7 "Then
came the day of
unleavened bread,
when the passover
must be killed."
Luke 22:8 "And he
sent Peter and
John, saying, Go
and prepare us the
passover, that we
may eat."
Luke 22:9-10 "And
they said unto him,
Where wilt thou
that we prepare?"
"And he said unto
them, Behold, when
ye are entered into
the city, there
shall a man meet
you, bearing a
pitcher of water;
follow him into the
house where he
entereth in."
Luke 22:11 "And ye
shall say unto the
goodman of the
house, The Master
saith unto thee,
Where is the guest
chamber, where I
shall eat the
passover with my
disciples?"
Luke 22:12 "And he
shall show you a
large upper room
furnished: there
make ready."
Luke 22:13 "And
they went, and
found as he had
said unto them: and
they made ready the
passover."
Luke 22:14 "And
when the hour was
come, he sat down,
and the twelve
apostles with him."
Luke 22:15 "And he
said unto them,
With desire I have
desired to eat this
passover with you
before I suffer:"
Luke 22:16 "For I
say unto you, I
will not any more
eat thereof, until
it be fulfilled in
the kingdom of
God."
Luke 22:17-18 "And
he took the cup,
and gave thanks,
and said, Take
this, and divide
[it] among
yourselves:" "For I
say unto you, I
will not drink of
the fruit of the
vine, until the
kingdom of God
shall come."
Luke 22:19 "And he
took bread, and
gave thanks, and
brake [it], and
gave unto them,
saying, This is my
body which is given
for you: this do in
remembrance of me."
Luke 22:20
"Likewise also the
cup after supper,
saying, This cup
[is] the new
testament in my
blood, which is
shed for you."
Luke 22:21 "But,
behold, the hand of
him that betrayeth
me [is] with me on
the table."
Luke 22:22 "And
truly the Son of
man goeth, as it
was determined: but
woe unto that man
by whom he is
betrayed!"
Luke 22:23 "And
they began to
enquire among
themselves, which
of them it was that
should do this
thing."
Luke 22:24 "And
there was also a
strife among them,
which of them
should be accounted
the greatest."
Luke 22:25 "And he
said unto them, The
kings of the
Gentiles exercise
lordship over them;
and they that
exercise authority
upon them are
called
benefactors."
Luke 22:26 "But ye
[shall] not [be]
so: but he that is
greatest among you,
let him be as the
younger; and he
that is chief, as
he that doth
serve."
Luke 22:27 "For
whether [is]
greater, he that
sitteth at meat, or
he that serveth?
[is] not he that
sitteth at meat?
but I am among you
as he that
serveth."
Luke 22:28 "Ye are
they which have
continued with me
in my temptations."
Luke 22:29 "And I
appoint unto you a
kingdom, as my
Father hath
appointed unto me;"
Luke 22:30 "That ye
may eat and drink
at my table in my
kingdom, and sit on
thrones judging the
twelve tribes of
Israel."
Luke 22:31 "And the
Lord said, Simon,
Simon, behold,
Satan hath desired
[to have] you, that
he may sift [you]
as wheat:"
Luke 22:32 "But I
have prayed for
thee, that thy
faith fail not: and
when thou art
converted,
strengthen thy
brethren."
Luke 22:33 "And he
said unto him,
Lord, I am ready to
go with thee, both
into prison, and to
death."
Luke 22:34 "And he
said, I tell thee,
Peter, the cock
shall not crow this
day, before that
thou shalt thrice
deny that thou
knowest me."
Luke 22:35 "And he
said unto them,
When I sent you
without purse, and
scrip, and shoes,
lacked ye any
thing? And they
said, Nothing."
Luke 22:36 "Then
said he unto them,
But now, he that
hath a purse, let
him take [it], and
likewise [his]
scrip: and he that
hath no sword, let
him sell his
garment, and buy
one."
Luke 22:37 "For I
say unto you, that
this that is
written must yet be
accomplished in me,
And he was reckoned
among the
transgressors: for
the things
concerning me have
an end."
Luke 22:38 "And
they said, Lord,
behold, here [are]
two swords. And he
said unto them, It
is enough."
Luke 22:39 "And he
came out, and went,
as he was wont, to
the mount of
Olives; and his
disciples also
followed him."
Luke 22:40 "And
when he was at the
place, he said unto
them, Pray that ye
enter not into
temptation."
Luke 22:41 "And he
was withdrawn from
them about a
stone's cast, and
kneeled down, and
prayed,"
Luke 22:42 "Saying,
Father, if thou be
willing, remove
this cup from me:
nevertheless not my
will, but thine, be
done."
Luke 22:43 "And
there appeared an
angel unto him from
heaven,
strengthening him."
Luke 22:44 "And
being in an agony
he prayed more
earnestly: and his
sweat was as it
were great drops of
blood falling down
to the ground."
Luke 22:45 "And
when he rose up
from prayer, and
was come to his
disciples, he found
them sleeping for
sorrow,"
Luke 22:46 "And
said unto them, Why
sleep ye? rise and
pray, lest ye enter
into temptation."
Luke 22:47 "And
while he yet spake,
behold a multitude,
and he that was
called Judas, one
of the twelve, went
before them, and
drew near unto
Jesus to kiss him."
Luke 22:48 "But
Jesus said unto
him, Judas,
betrayest thou the
Son of man with a
kiss?"
Luke 22:49 "When
they which were
about him saw what
would follow, they
said unto him,
Lord, shall we
smite with the
sword?"
Luke 22:50 "And one
of them smote the
servant of the high
priest, and cut off
his right ear."
Luke 22:51 "And
Jesus answered and
said, Suffer ye
thus far. And he
touched his ear,
and healed him."
Luke 22:52-53 "Then
Jesus said unto the
chief priests, and
captains of the
temple, and the
elders, which were
come to him, Be ye
come out, as
against a thief,
with swords and
staves?" "When I
was daily with you
in the temple, ye
stretched forth no
hands against me:
but this is your
hour, and the power
of darkness."
Luke 22:54 "Then
took they him, and
led [him], and
brought him into
the high priest's
house. And Peter
followed afar off."
Luke 22:55 "And
when they had
kindled a fire in
the midst of the
hall, and were set
down together,
Peter sat down
among them."
Luke 22:56 "But a
certain maid beheld
him as he sat by
the fire, and
earnestly looked
upon him, and said,
This man was also
with him."
Luke 22:57 "And he
denied him, saying,
Woman, I know him
not."
Luke 22:58 "And
after a little
while another saw
him, and said, Thou
art also of them.
And Peter said,
Man, I am not."
Luke 22:59 "And
about the space of
one hour after
another confidently
affirmed, saying,
Of a truth this
[fellow] also was
with him: for he is
a Galilean."
Luke 22:60 "And
Peter said, Man, I
know not what thou
sayest. And
immediately, while
he yet spake, the
cock crew."
Luke 22:61 "And the
Lord turned, and
looked upon Peter.
And Peter
remembered the word
of the Lord, how he
had said unto him,
Before the cock
crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice."
Matthew 26:75 "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."
Luke 22:62 "And
Peter went out, and
wept bitterly."
Luke 22:63 "And the men that held Jesus
mocked him, and smote [him]."
Luke 22:64 "And when they had blindfolded
him, they struck him on the face, and asked
him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee?"
Luke 22:65 "And many other things
blasphemously spake they against him."
Luke 22:66 "And as soon as it was day, the
elders of the people and the chief priests
and the scribes came together, and led him
into their council, saying,"
Luke 22:67 "Art thou the Christ? tell us.
And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:"
Luke 22:68 "And if I also ask [you], ye
will not answer me, nor let [me] go."
Luke 22:69 "Hereafter shall the Son of man
sit on the right hand of the power of God."
Luke 22:70 "Then said they all, Art thou
then the Son of God? And he said unto them,
Ye say that I am."
Luke 22:71 "And they said, What need we any
further witness? For we ourselves have
heard of his own mouth."
Luke 23
Luke Chapter 23
Luke 23:1 "And the
whole multitude of
them arose, and led
him unto Pilate."
Luke 23:2 "And they
began to accuse
him, saying, We
found this [fellow]
perverting the
nation, and
forbidding to give
tribute to Caesar,
saying that he
himself is Christ a
King."
Luke 23:3 "And
Pilate asked him,
saying, Art thou
the King of the
Jews? And he
answered him and
said, Thou sayest
[it]."
Luke 23:4 "Then
said Pilate to the
chief priests and
[to] the people, I
find no fault in
this man."
Luke 23:5 "And they
were the more
fierce, saying, He
stirreth up the
people, teaching
throughout all
Jewry, beginning
from Galilee to
this place."
Luke 23:6 "When
Pilate heard of
Galilee, he asked
whether the man
were a Galilean."
Luke 23:7 "And as
soon as he knew
that he belonged
unto Herod's
jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod,
who himself also
was at Jerusalem at
that time."
Luke 23:8 "And when
Herod saw Jesus, he
was exceeding glad:
for he was desirous
to see him of a
long [season],
because he had
heard many things
of him; and he
hoped to have seen
some miracle done
by him."
Luke 23:9 "Then he
questioned with him
in many words; but
he answered him
nothing."
Luke 23:10 "And the
chief priests and
scribes stood and
vehemently accused
him."
Luke 23:11 And
Herod with his men
of war set him at
nought, and mocked
[him], and arrayed
him in a gorgeous
robe, and sent him
again to Pilate.
Luke 23:12 "And the
same day Pilate and
Herod were made
friends together:
for before they
were at enmity
between
themselves."
Luke 23:13 "And
Pilate, when he had
called together the
chief priests and
the rulers and the
people,"
Luke 23:14-15 "Said
unto them, Ye have
brought this man
unto me, as one
that perverteth the
people: and,
behold, I, having
examined [him]
before you, have
found no fault in
this man touching
those things
whereof ye accuse
him:" "No, nor yet
Herod: for I sent
you to him; and,
lo, nothing worthy
of death is done
unto him."
Luke 23:16 "I will
therefore chastise
him, and release
[him]."
Luke 23:17 "(For of
necessity he must
release one unto
them at the
feast.)"
Luke 23:18 "And
they cried out all
at once, saying,
Away with this
[man], and release
unto us Barabbas:"
Luke 23:19 "(Who
for a certain
sedition made in
the city, and for
murder, was cast
into prison.)"
Luke 23:20 "Pilate
therefore, willing
to release Jesus,
spake again to
them."
Luke 23:21 "But
they cried, saying,
Crucify [him],
crucify him."
Luke 23:22 "And he
said unto them the
third time, Why,
what evil hath he
done? I have found
no cause of death
in him: I will
therefore chastise
him, and let [him]
go."
Luke 23:23 "And
they were instant
with loud voices,
requiring that he
might be crucified.
And the voices of
them and of the
chief priests
prevailed."
Luke 23:24 "And
Pilate gave
sentence that it
should be as they
required."
Luke 23:25 "And he
released unto them
him that for
sedition and murder
was cast into
prison, whom they
had desired; but he
delivered Jesus to
their will."
Luke 23:26 "And as they led him away, they
laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they
laid the cross, that he might bear [it]
after Jesus."
Luke 23:27 "And there followed him a great
company of people, and of women, which also
bewailed and lamented him."
Luke 23:28 "But Jesus turning unto them
said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for
me, but weep for yourselves, and for your
children."
Luke 23:29 "For, behold, the days are
coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs
that never bare, and the paps which never
gave suck."
Luke 23:30 "Then shall they begin to say to
the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us."
Luke 23:31 "For if they do these things in
a green tree, what shall be done in the
dry?"
Luke 23:32 "And there were also two other,
malefactors, led with him to be put to
death."
Luke 23:33 "And when they were come to the
place, which is called Calvary, there they
crucified him, and the malefactors, one on
the right hand, and the other on the left."
Luke 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they
do. And they parted his raiment, and cast
lots."
Luke 23:35 "And the people stood beholding.
And the rulers also with them derided
[him], saying, He saved others; let him
save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen
of God."
Luke 23:36 "And the soldiers also mocked
him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar,"
Luke 23:37 "And saying, If thou be the king
of the Jews, save thyself."
Luke 23:38 "And a superscription also was
written over him in letters of Greek, and
Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE
JEWS."
Luke 23:39 "And one of the malefactors
which were hanged railed on him, saying, If
thou be Christ, save thyself and us."
Luke 23:40 "But the other answering rebuked
him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation?"
Luke 23:41 "And we indeed justly; for we
receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss."
Luke 23:42 "And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom."
Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily
I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with
me in paradise."
Luke 23:44 "And it was about the sixth
hour, and there was a darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour."
Luke 23:45 "And the sun was darkened, and
the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst."
Luke 23:46 "And when Jesus had cried with a
loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands
I commend my spirit: and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost."
Luke 23:47 "Now when the centurion saw what
was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man."
Luke 23:48 "And all the people that came
together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their
breasts, and returned."
Luke 23:49 "And all his acquaintance, and
the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things."
Luke 23:50 "And, behold, [there was] a man
named Joseph, a counsellor; [and he was] a
good man, and a just:"
Luke 23:51 "(The same had not consented to
the counsel and deed of them;) [he was] of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also
himself waited for the kingdom of God."
Luke 23:52-53 "This [man] went unto Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus." "And he took
it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid
it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone,
wherein never man before was laid."
Luke 23:54 "And that day was the
preparation, and the sabbath drew on."
Luke 23:55 "And the women also, which came
with him from Galilee, followed after, and
beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was
laid."
Luke 23:56 "And thy returned, and prepared
spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment."
Luke 24
Luke Chapter 24
Luke 24:1 "Now upon
the first [day] of
the week, very
early in the
morning, they came
unto the sepulcher,
bringing the spices
which they had
prepared, and
certain [others]
with them."
Luke 24:2 "And they
found the stone
rolled away from
the sepulcher."
Luke 24:3 "And they
entered in, and
found not the body
of the Lord Jesus."
Luke 24:4 "And it
came to pass, as
they were much
perplexed
thereabout, behold,
two men stood by
them in shining
garments:"
Luke 24:5 "And as
they were afraid,
and bowed down
[their] faces to
the earth, they
said unto them, Why
seek ye the living
among the dead?"
Luke 24:6 "He is
not here, but is
risen: remember how
he spake unto you
when he was yet in
Galilee,"
Luke 24:7 "Saying,
The Son of man must
be delivered into
the hands of sinful
men, and be
crucified, and the
third day rise
again."
Luke 24:8 "And they
remembered his
words,"
Luke 24:9 "And
returned from the
sepulcher, and told
all these things
unto the eleven,
and to all the
rest."
Luke 24:10 "It was
Mary Magdalene, and
Joanna, and Mary
[the mother] of
James, and other
[women that were]
with them, which
told these things
unto the apostles."
Luke 24:11 "And
their words seemed
to them as idle
tales, and they
believed them not."
Luke 24:12 "Then
arose Peter, and
ran unto the
sepulcher; and
stooping down, he
beheld the linen
clothes laid by
themselves, and
departed, wondering
in himself at that
which was come to
pass."
Luke 24:13 "And,
behold, two of them
went that same day
to a village called
Emmaus, which was
from Jerusalem
[about] threescore
furlongs."
Luke 24:14 "And
they talked
together of all
these things which
had happened."
Luke 24:15-16 "And
it came to pass,
that, while they
communed [together]
and reasoned, Jesus
himself drew near,
and went with
them." "But their
eyes were holden
that they should
not know him."
Luke 24:17 "And he
said unto them,
What manner of
communications
[are] these that ye
have one to
another, as ye
walk, and are sad?"
Luke 24:18 "And the
one of them, whose
name was Cleopas,
answering said unto
him, Art thou only
a stranger in
Jerusalem, and hast
not known the
things which are
come to pass there
in these days?"
Luke 24:19 "And he
said unto them,
What things? And
they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of
Nazareth, which was
a prophet mighty in
deed and word
before God and all
the people:"
Luke 24:20 "And how
the chief priests
and our rulers
delivered him to be
condemned to death,
and have crucified
him."
Luke 24:21 "But we
trusted that it had
been he which
should have
redeemed Israel:
and beside all
this, today is the
third day since
these things were
done."
Luke 24:22-23 "Yea,
and certain women
also of our company
made us astonished,
which were early at
the sepulcher;"
"And when they
found not his body,
they came, saying,
that they had also
seen a vision of
angels, which said
that he was alive."
Luke 24:24 "And
certain of them
which were with us
went to the
sepulcher, and
found [it] even so
as the women had
said: but him they
saw not."
Luke 24:25-26 "Then
he said unto them,
O fools, and slow
of heart to believe
all that the
prophets have
spoken:" "Ought not
Christ to have
suffered these
things, and to
enter into his
glory?"
Luke 24:27 "And
beginning at Moses
and all the
prophets, he
expounded unto them
in all the
scriptures the
things concerning
himself."
Luke 24:28-29 "And
they drew nigh unto
the village,
whither they went:
and he made as
though he would
have gone further."
"But they
constrained him,
saying, Abide with
us: for it is
toward evening, and
the day is far
spent. And he went
in to tarry with
them."
Luke 24:30 "And it
came to pass, as he
sat at meat with
them, he took
bread, and blessed
[it], and brake,
and gave to them."
Luke 24:31 "And
their eyes were
opened, and they
knew him; and he
vanished out of
their sight."
Luke 24:32 "And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while he
opened to us the scriptures?"
Luke 24:33 "And they rose up the same hour,
and returned to Jerusalem, and found the
eleven gathered together, and them that
were with them,"
Luke 24:34 "Saying, The Lord is risen
indeed, and hath appeared to Simon."
Luke 24:35 "And they told what things [were
done] in the way, and how he was known of
them in breaking of bread."
Luke 24:36 "And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them, and
saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you."
Luke 24:37 "But they were terrified and
affrighted, and supposed that they had seen
a spirit."
Luke 24:38 "And he said unto them, Why are
