Matthew Explained
Book of Matthew Explained
The four Gospels present a fourfold view of the life of Christ. Except for
scant references by Tacitus and Josephus, our entire knowledge of the life of
Jesus comes from these gospel accounts. The early accounts probably were passed
on verbally in the Aramaic language and then recorded in Greek manuscripts
between A.D. 60 and 90. All four Gospels build upon genuine historical tradition
and preserve different aspects of it.
The basic purpose of the Gospels is to present the gospel message, the Good
News of the Redeemer-Savior. They present Jesus as the Messiah of Israel, the
Son of God, and the Savior of the world. The Gospels were written so that their
readers would come to believe in Christ and receive eternal life (compare John
20:31). They view Jesus as the Lord of Glory who is presently alive and active
in heaven.
Order of the Gospels: The order of the Gospels has been generally
recognized by the church throughout its history. “The Gospel of Matthew occupies
first place in all extant witnesses to the text of the four Gospels and in all
early lists of the canonical books of the New Testament” (R.V.G. Tasker, The
Gospel According to St. Matthew, Tyndale New Testament Commentary, page 11).
Matthew’s emphasis on the Old Testament preparation for the gospel makes it an
ideal “bridge” from the Old to the New Testament.
The Gospels present four portraits of Jesus, each in its own characteristic
manner. Matthew, the Hebrew tax collector, writes for the Hebrew mind. Mark, the
travel companion of Paul and Peter, writes for the Roman mind. Luke, Paul’s
physician-missionary, writes with the Greek mentality in view. John’s gospel is
different by nature from the other three. It is an interpretation of the facts
of Jesus’ life rather than a presentation of its facts in historical sequence.
Title: Matthew, meaning “gift of the Lord”, was the other name of
Levi (9:9), the tax collector who left everything to follow Christ (Luke
5:27-28). Matthew was one of the 12 apostles (10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts
1:13). In his own list of the 12, he explicitly calls himself a “tax collector”
(10:3). Nowhere else in Scripture is the name Matthew associated with “tax
collector”; the other evangelists always employ his former name, Levi, when
speaking of his sinful past. This is evidence of humility on Matthew’s part. As
with the other 3 gospels, this work is known by the name of its author.
Author and Date: The canonicity and Matthean authorship of this
gospel were unchallenged in the early church. Eusebius (ca. A.D. 265-339),
quotes Origen (ca. A.D. 185-254):
Among the four Gospels, which are the only indisputable ones in the Church of
God under heaven, I have learned by tradition that the first was written by
Matthew, who was once a publican, by afterwards an apostle of Jesus Christ, and
it was prepared for the converts from Judaism (Ecclesiastical History, 6:25).
It is clear that this gospel was written at a relatively early date, prior to
the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70. Some scholars have proposed a date as
early as A.D. 50.
A unique statement within the Book of Matthew provides internal evidence to
its authorship. The account of the call of Matthew (chapter 9), is followed by
that of a meal taken by Jesus in the company of “publicans and sinners”. One
valid translation of this passage says the meal took place “at home”. The
parallel account in Mark 2:15 clearly says this feast took place in Levi’s
(Matthew’s), house”. Here, therefore, is a phrase that may betray the identity
of the author.
Background – Setting: The Jewish flavor of Matthew’s gospel is
remarkable. This is evident even in the opening genealogy, which Matthew traces
back only as far as Abraham. In contrast, Luke, aiming to show Christ as the
Redeemer of humanity, goes all the way back to Adam. Matthew’s purpose is
somewhat narrower. To demonstrate that Christ is the King and Messiah of Israel.
This gospel quotes more than 60 times from Old Testament prophetic passages,
emphasizing how Christ is the fulfillment of all those promises.
The probability that Matthew’s audience was predominantly Jewish is further
evident from several facts: Matthew usually cites Jewish custom without
explaining it, in contrast to the other gospels (compare Mark 7:3; John 19:40).
He constantly refers to Christ as “the Son of David” (1:1; 9:27, 12:23; 15:22;
20:30; 21:9, 15; 22:42, 45). Matthew even guards Jewish sensibilities regarding
the name of God, referring to “the kingdom of heaven” where the other
evangelists speak of “the kingdom of God”. All the book’s major themes are
rooted in the Old Testament and set in light of Israel’s messianic expectations.
Matthew’s use of Greek may suggest that he was writing as a Palestinian Jew
to Hellenistic Jews elsewhere. He wrote as an eyewitness of many of the events
he described, giving firsthand testimony about the words and works of Jesus of
Nazareth.
His purpose is clear: to demonstrate that Jesus is the Jewish nation’s
long-awaited Messiah. His voluminous quoting of the Old Testament is
specifically designed to show the tie between the Messiah of promise and the
Christ of history. This purpose is never out of focus for Matthew, and he even
adduces many incidental details from the Old Testament prophecies as proofs of
Jesus’ messianic claims (e.g. 2:17-18; 4:13-15; 13:35; 21:4-5; 27:9-10).
Historical – Theological Themes: Since Matthew is concerned with
setting forth Jesus as Messiah, the King of the Jews, an interest in the Old
Testament kingdom promises runs throughout this gospel. Matthew’s signature
phrase “the kingdom of heaven” occurs 32 times in this book (and nowhere else in
all of Scripture).
The opening genealogy is designed to document Christ’s credentials as
Israel’s king, and the rest of the book completes this theme. Matthew shows that
Christ is the heir of the kingly line. He demonstrates that He is the
fulfillment of dozens of Old Testament prophecies regarding the king who would
come. He offers evidence after evidence to establish Christs kingly prerogative.
All other historical and theological themes in the book revolve around this one.
Matthew records 5 major discourses: the Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7);
the commissioning of the apostles (chapter 10); the parables about the kingdom
(chapter 13); a discourse about the childlikeness of the believer (chapter 18);
and the discourse on His second coming (chapters 24-25). Each discourse ends
with a variation of this phrase: “when Jesus had finished these words” (7:28;
11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1). That becomes a motif signaling a new narrative
portion. A long opening section (chapters 1-4), and a short conclusion
(28:16-20), bracket the rest of the gospel, which naturally divides into 5
sections, each with a discourse and a narrative section. Some have seen a
parallel between these 5 sections and the 5 books of Moses in the Old Testament.
The conflict between Christ and Pharisaism is another common theme in
Matthew’s gospel. But Matthew is keen to show the error of the Pharisees from
the benefit of his Jewish audience, not for personal or self-aggrandizing
reasons. Matthew omits, for example, the parable of the Pharisee and the tax
collector, even though that parable would have put him in a favorable light.
Matthew also mentions the Sadducees more than any of the other gospels. Both
Pharisees and Sadducees are regularly portrayed negatively, and held up as
warning beacons. Their doctrine is a leaven that much be avoided (16:11-12).
Although these groups were doctrinally at odds with one another, they were
united in their hatred of Christ. To Mathew, they epitomized all in Israel who
rejected Christ as King.
The rejection of Israel’s Messiah is another constant theme in this gospel.
In no other gospel are the attacks against Jesus portrayed as strongly as here.
From the flight into Egypt to the scene at the cross, Matthew paints a more
vivid portrayal of Christ’s rejection than any of the other evangelists. In
Matthew’s account of the crucifixion, for example, no thief repents and no
friends or loved ones are seen at the foot of the cross. In His death, He is
forsaken even by God (27:46). The shadow of rejection is never lifted from the
story.
Yet Matthew portrays Him as a victorious King who will one day return “on the
clouds of the sky with power and great glory” (24:30).

Naphtali, [by] the way of the sea, beyond
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;"
Matthew 4:16 "The people which sat in darkness

heaven is at hand."

Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter,
and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the
sea: for they were fishers."

me, and I will make you fishers of men." "And
they straightway left [their] nets, and
followed him."
Matthew 4:21 "And going on from thence, he saw
other two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee,

in heaven: for so
persecuted they the
prophets which were
before you."
Matthew 5:13 "Ye are
the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have
lost his savor,
wherewith shall it be
salted? it is

nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden
under foot of men."

one of these least

same shall be called
great in the kingdom of

unto you, That
whosoever is angry with
his brother without a
cause shall be in
danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say
to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of
the council: but

Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire."

heart."

pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not [that] thy whole body
should be cast into hell."

thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for

members should perish, and not [that] thy whole
body should be cast into hell."

whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for
the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is

been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not
forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the
Lord thine oaths:"
Matthew 5:34 "But I say unto you, Swear not at
all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:"
Matthew 5:35-37 "Nor by the earth; for it is
his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King." "Neither shalt

make one hair white or black." "But let your
communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for

enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of
your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust."
Matthew 5:46 "For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not even the
publicans the same?"
Matthew 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more [than others]? do not
even the publicans so?"
Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Matthew 6
Matthew Chapter 6
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your
alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father
which is in heaven."
Matthew 6:2 "Therefore when thou doest
[thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
you, They have their reward."
Matthew 6:3 "But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doeth:"
Matthew 6:4 "That thine alms may be in
secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly."
Matthew 6:5-6 "And when thou prayest, thou
shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for
they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward." "But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when thou hast
shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is
in secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly."
Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they
think that they shall be heard for their
much speaking."
Matthew 6:8 "Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need of, before ye ask him."
Matthew 6:9 "After this manner therefore
pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name."
Matthew 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth, as [it is] in heaven."
Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily
bread."
Matthew 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as
we forgive our debtors."
Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, for ever. Amen."
Matthew 6:16 "Moreover when ye fast, be
not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their
faces, that they may appear unto men to
fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward."
Matthew 6:17-18 "But thou, when thou
fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face;" "That thou appear not unto men to
fast, but unto thy Father which is in
secret: and thy Father, which seeth in
secret, shall reward thee openly."
Matthew 6:19-20 "Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal:" "But lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor
steal:"
Matthew 6:22-23 "The light of the body is
the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light."
"But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body
shall be full of darkness. If therefore the
light that is in thee be darkness, how
great [is] that darkness!"
Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love
the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life, what ye
shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet
for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not
the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment?"
Matthew 6:26 "Behold the fowls of the air:
for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father
feedeth them. Are ye not much better than
they?"
Matthew 6:27-31 "Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?" "And why take ye thought for
raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do
they spin:" "And yet I say unto you, That
even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these." "Wherefore, if
God so clothe the grass of the field, which
today is, and tomorrow is cast into the
oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe]
you, O ye of little faith?" "Therefore take
no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall
we be clothed?"
Matthew 6:32 "(For after all these things
do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of all
these things."
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no thought for
the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil
thereof."
Matthew 7
Matthew 7
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves."
Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles?"
Matthew 7:17-18 "Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit." "A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit."
Matthew 7:19-20 "Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire." "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
know them."
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven."
Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works?"
Matthew 7:23 "And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity."
Matthew 7:24-25 "Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:" "And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it
was founded upon a rock."
Matthew 7:26-27 "And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand:" "And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
Matthew 7:28 "And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine:"
Matthew 7:29 "For he taught them as [one]
having authority, and not as the scribes."
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves."
Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles?"

bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit." "A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit."

forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire." "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
know them."
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven."
Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works?"
Matthew 7:23 "And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity."
Matthew 7:24-25 "Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:" "And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it
was founded upon a rock."
Matthew 7:26-27 "And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand:" "And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
Matthew 7:28 "And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine:"
Matthew 7:29 "For he taught them as [one]
having authority, and not as the scribes."

Matthew Chapter 8
Matthew 8:1 "When he
was come down from the
mountain, great
multitudes followed
him."
Matthew 8:2 "And,
behold, there came a
leper and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean."
Matthew 8:3 "And Jesus
put forth [his] hand,
and touched him,
saying, I will; be thou
clean. And immediately
his leprosy was
cleansed."
Matthew 8:4 "And Jesus
saith unto him, See
thou tell no man; but
go thy way, shew
thyself to the priest,
and offer the gift that
Moses commanded, for a
testimony unto them."
Matthew 8:5 "And when
Jesus was entered into
Capernaum, there came
unto him a centurion,
beseeching him,"
Matthew 8:6 "And
saying, Lord, my
servant lieth at home
sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented."
Matthew 8:7 "And Jesus
saith unto him, I will
come and heal him."
Matthew 8:8 "The
centurion answered and
said, Lord, I am not
worthy that thou
shouldest come under my
roof: but speak the
word only, and my
servant shall be
healed."
Matthew 8:9 "For I am a
man under authority,
having soldiers under
me: and I say to this
[man], Go, and he
goeth; and to another,
Come, and he cometh;
and to my servant, Do
this, and he doeth
[it]."
Matthew 8:10 "When
Jesus heard [it], he
marveled, and said to
them that followed,
Verily I say unto you,
I have not found so
great faith, no, not in
Israel."
Matthew 8:11 "And I say
unto you, That many
shall come from the
east and west, and
shall sit down with
Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, in the kingdom
of heaven."
Matthew 8:12 "But the
children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into
outer darkness: there
shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 8:14-15 "And
when Jesus was come
into Peter's house, he
saw his wife's mother
laid, and sick of a
fever." "And he touched
her hand, and the fever
left her: and she
arose, and ministered
unto them."
Matthew 8:16 "When the
even was come, they
brought unto him many
that were possessed
with devils: and he
cast out the spirits
with [his] word, and
healed all that were
sick:"
Matthew 8:17 "That it
might be fulfilled
which was spoken by
Isaiah the prophet,
saying, Himself took
our infirmities, and
bare [our] sicknesses."
Matthew 8:18 "Now when Jesus saw great
multitudes about him, he gave commandment to
depart unto the other side."
Matthew 8:19 "And a certain scribe came, and
said unto him, Master, I will follow thee
whithersoever thou goest."

foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
[have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where
to lay [his] head."
Matthew 8:21 "And another of his disciples said
unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury
my father."
Matthew 8:22 "But Jesus said unto him, Follow
me; and let the dead bury their dead."
Matthew 8:23 "And when he was entered into a
ship, his disciples followed him."
Matthew 8:24 "And, behold, there arose a great
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was
covered with the waves: but he was asleep."
Matthew 8:25 "And his disciples came to [him],
and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we
perish."
Matthew 8:26 "And he saith unto them, Why are
ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he
arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
there was a great calm."
Matthew 8:27 "But the men marveled, saying,
What manner of man is this, that even the winds
and the sea obey him!"
Matthew 8:28 "And when he was come to the other
side into the country of the Gergesenes, there
met him two possessed with devils, coming out
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man
might pass by that way."
Matthew 8:29 "And, behold, they cried out,
saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of God? art thou come hither to
torment us before the time?"
Matthew 8:30 "And there was a good way off from
them a herd of many swine feeding."
Matthew 8:31 "So the devils besought him,
saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go
away into the herd of swine."
Matthew 8:32 "And he said unto them, Go. And
when they were come out, they went into the
herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of
swine ran violently down a steep place into the
sea, and perished in the waters."

went their ways into the city, and told every
thing, and what was befallen to the possessed
of the devils."

their coasts."
Matthew 9
Matthew Chapter 9
Matthew 9:1 "And he
entered into a ship,
and passed over, and
came into his own
city."
Matthew 9:2 "And,
behold, they brought to
him a man sick of the
palsy, lying on a bed:
and Jesus seeing their
faith said unto the
sick of the palsy; Son,
be of good cheer; thy
sins be forgiven thee."
Matthew 9:3 "And,
behold, certain of the
scribes said within
themselves, This [man]
blasphemeth."
Matthew 9:4 "And Jesus
knowing their thoughts
said, Wherefore think
ye evil in your
hearts?"
Matthew 9:5 "For
whether is easier, to
say, [Thy] sins be
forgiven thee; or to
say, Arise, and walk?"
Matthew 9:6 "But that
ye may know that the
Son of man hath power
on earth to forgive
sins, (then saith he to
the sick of the palsy,)
Arise, take up thy bed,
and go unto thine
house."
Matthew 9:7-8 "And he
arose, and departed to
his house." "But when
the multitudes saw
[it], they marveled,
and glorified God,
which had given such
power unto men."
Matthew 9:9 "And as
Jesus passed forth from
thence, he saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting
at the receipt of
custom: and he saith
unto him, Follow me.
And he arose, and
followed him."
Matthew 9:10-11 "And it
came to pass, as Jesus
sat at meat in the
house, behold, many
publicans and sinners
came and sat down with
him and his disciples."
"And when the Pharisees
saw [it], they said
unto his disciples, Why
eateth your Master with
publicans and sinners?"
Matthew 9:12 "But when
Jesus heard [that], he
said unto them, They
that be whole need not
a physician, but they
that are sick."
Matthew 9:13 "But go ye
and learn what [that]
meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not
come to call the
righteous, but sinners
to repentance."
Matthew 9:14 "Then came
to him the disciples of
John, saying, Why do we
and the Pharisees fast
oft, but thy disciples
fast not?"
Matthew 9:15 "And Jesus
said unto them, Can the
children of the
bridechamber mourn, as
long as the bridegroom
is with them? but the
days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be
taken from them, and
then shall they fast."
Matthew 9:16 "No man
putteth a piece of new
cloth unto an old
garment, for that which
is put in to fill it up
taketh from the
garment, and the rent
is made worse."
Matthew 9:17 "Neither
do men put new wine
into old bottles: else
the bottles break, and
the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish:
but they put new wine
into new bottles, and
both are preserved."
Matthew 9:18 "While he
spake these things unto
them, behold, there
came a certain ruler,
and worshipped him,
saying, My daughter is
even now dead: but come
and lay thy hand upon
her, and she shall
live."
Matthew 9:19 "And Jesus
arose, and followed
him, and [so did] his
disciples."
Matthew 9:20 "And,
behold, a woman, which
was diseased with an
issue of blood twelve
years, came behind
[him], and touched the
hem of his garment:"
Matthew 9:21 "For she
said within herself, If
I may but touch his
garment, I shall be
whole."
Matthew 9:22 "But Jesus
turned him about, and
when he saw her, he
said, Daughter, be of
good comfort; thy faith
hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made
whole from that hour."
Matthew 9:23 "And when
Jesus came into the
ruler's house, and saw
the minstrels and the
people making a noise,"
Matthew 9:24 "He said
unto them, Give place:
for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And
they laughed him to
scorn."
Matthew 9:25-26 "But
when the people were
put forth, he went in,
and took her by the
hand, and the maid
arose." "And the fame
hereof went abroad into
all that land."
Matthew 9:27 "And when Jesus departed thence,
two blind men followed him, crying, and saying,
[Thou] son of David, have mercy on us."
Matthew 9:28-31 "And when he was come into the
house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus
saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to
do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord." "Then
touched he their eyes, saying, According to
your faith be it unto you." "And their eyes
were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See [that] no man know [it]." "But
they, when they were departed, spread abroad
his fame in all that country."
Matthew 9:32-33 "As they went out, behold, they
brought to him a dumb man possessed with a
devil." "And when the devil was cast out, the
dumb spake: and the multitudes marveled,
saying, It was never so seen in Israel."

casteth out devils through the prince of the
devils."

cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every sickness and every
disease among the people."

he was moved with compassion on them, because
they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
sheep having no shepherd."
Matthew 9:37 "Then saith he unto his disciples,
The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the
laborer's [are] few;"
Matthew 9:38 "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he will send forth laborer's into
his harvest."
Matthew 10
Matthew Chapter 10
Matthew 10:1 "And when
he had called unto
[him] his twelve
disciples, he gave them
power [against] unclean
spirits, to cast them
out, and to heal all
manner of sickness and
all manner of disease."
Matthew 10:2 "Now the
names of the twelve
apostles are these; The
first, Simon, who is
called Peter, and
Andrew his brother;
James [the son] of
Zebedee, and John his
brother;"
Matthew 10:3 "Philip,
and Bartholomew;
Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James [the
son] of Alphaeus, and
Lebbeus, whose surname
was Thaddeus;"
Matthew 10:4 "Simon the
Canaanite, and Judas
Iscariot, who also
betrayed him."
Matthew 10:6 "But go
rather to the lost
sheep of the house of
Israel."
Matthew 10:7 "And as ye
go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at
hand."
Matthew 10:8 "Heal the
sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely
ye have received,
freely give."
Matthew 10:9-10
"Provide neither gold,
nor silver, nor brass
in your purses," "Nor
scrip for [your]
journey, neither two
coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the
workman is worthy of
his meat."
Matthew 10:11 "And into
whatsoever city or town
ye shall enter, inquire
who in it is worthy;
and there abide till ye
go thence."
Matthew 10:12-13 "And
when ye come into a
house, salute it." "And
if the house be worthy,
let your peace come
upon it: but if it be
not worthy, let your
peace return to you."
Matthew 10:14 "And
whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear
your words, when ye
depart out of that
house or city, shake
off the dust of your
feet."
Matthew 10:15 "Verily I
say unto you, It shall
be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom and
Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that
city."
Matthew 10:16 "Behold,
I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye therefore
wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves."
Matthew 10:17 "But
beware of men: for they
will deliver you up to
the councils, and they
will scourge you in
their synagogues;"
Matthew 10:18 "And ye
shall be brought before
governors and kings for
my sake, for a
testimony against them
and the Gentiles."
Matthew 10:19 "But when
they deliver you up,
take no thought how or
what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given
you in that same hour
what ye shall speak."
Matthew 10:20 "For it
is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh
in you."
Matthew 10:21 "And the
brother shall deliver
up the brother to
death, and the father
the child: and the
children shall rise up
against [their]
parents, and cause them
to be put to death."

shall be hated of all
[men] for my name's
sake: but he that
endureth to the end
shall be saved."

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

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