1
In the mean time, when there were gatheredG1996 togetherG1996 an innumerableG3461 multitudeG3461 of people,G3793 soG5620 that they steppedG2662 oneG240 on another,G240 he beganG756 to sayG3004 to his disciplesG3101 firstG4412 of all, BewareG4337 you of the leavenG2219 of the Pharisees,G5330 whichG3748 is hypocrisy.G5272
2
For there is nothingG3762 covered,G4780 that shall not be revealed;G601 neither hid,G2927 that shall not be known.G1097
3
ThereforeG473 G5607 whateverG3745 you have spokenG2036 in darknessG4655 shall be heardG191 in the light;G5457 and that whichG3739 you have spokenG2980 in the earG3775 in closetsG5009 shall be proclaimedG2784 on the housetops.G1430
4
And I sayG3004 to you my friends,G5384 Be not afraidG5399 of them that killG615 the body,G4983 and afterG3326 that haveG2192 noG3365 G5100 moreG4055 that they canG1410 do.G4160
5
But I will forewarnG5263 you whomG5101 you shall fear:G5399 FearG5399 him, which afterG3326 he has killedG615 hasG2192 powerG1849 to castG1685 intoG1519 hell;G1067 yes,G3483 I sayG3004 to you, FearG5399 him.
6
Are not fiveG4002 sparrowsG4765 soldG4453 for twoG1417 farthings,G787 and not oneG1520 of them is forgottenG1950 beforeG1799 God?G2316
7
But evenG2532 the veryG2532 hairsG2359 of yourG5216 headG2776 are allG3956 numbered.G705 FearG5399 not therefore:G3767 you are of moreG1308 valueG1308 than manyG4183 sparrows.G4765
8
AlsoG1161 I sayG3004 to you, WhoeverG3956 shall confessG3670 me beforeG1715 men,G444 him shall the SonG5207 of manG444 alsoG2532 confessG3670 beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of God:G2316
9
But he that deniesG720 me beforeG1799 menG444 shall be deniedG533 beforeG1799 the angelsG32 of God.G2316
10
And whoeverG3956 G3739 shall speakG2046 a wordG3056 againstG1519 the SonG5207 of man,G444 it shall be forgivenG863 him: but to him that blasphemesG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 it shall not be forgiven.G863
11
And whenG3752 they bringG4374 you to the synagogues,G4864 and to magistrates,G746 and powers,G1849 take you noG3361 thoughtG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 thing you shall answer,G626 orG2228 whatG5101 you shall say:G2036
12
For the HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall teachG1321 you in the sameG846 hourG5610 whatG3739 you oughtG1163 to say.G2036
13
And oneG5100 of the companyG3793 saidG2036 to him, Master,G1320 speakG2036 to my brother,G80 that he divideG3307 the inheritanceG2817 with me.
14
And he saidG2036 to him, Man,G444 whoG5101 madeG2525 me a judgeG1348 orG2228 a dividerG3312 overG1909 you?
15
And he saidG2036 to them, Take heed,G3708 and bewareG5442 of covetousness:G4124 for a man'sG5100 lifeG2222 consistsG2076 not in the abundanceG4052 of the things which he possesses.G5224
16
And he spokeG2036 a parableG3850 to them, saying,G3004 The groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 broughtG2164 forthG2164 plentifully:G2164
17
And he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himself,G1438 saying,G3004 WhatG5101 shall I do,G4160 becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 my fruits?G2590
18
And he said,G2036 ThisG5124 will I do:G4160 I will pullG2507 downG2507 my barns,G596 and buildG3618 greater;G3187 and thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 my fruitsG1081 and my goods.G18
19
And I will sayG2046 to my soul,G5590 Soul,G5590 you haveG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laidG2749 up for manyG4183 years;G2094 take your ease,G373 eat,G5315 drink,G4095 and be merry.G2165
20
But GodG2316 saidG2036 to him, You fool,G878 thisG5026 nightG3571 your soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 of you: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things be, whichG3739 you have provided?G2090
21
SoG3779 is he that lays up treasureG2343 for himself,G1438 and is not richG4147 towardG1519 God.G2316
22
And he saidG2036 to his disciples,G3101 ThereforeG1223 G5124 I sayG3004 to you, Take noG3361 thoughtG3309 for yourG5216 life,G5590 whatG5101 you shall eat;G5315 neitherG3366 for the body,G4983 whatG5101 you shall putG1746 on.G1746
23
The lifeG5590 is moreG4119 than meat,G5160 and the bodyG4983 is more than raiment.G1742
24
ConsiderG2657 the ravens:G2876 for they neitherG3756 sowG4687 norG3761 reap;G2325 whichG3739 neitherG3756 haveG2076 storehouseG5009 norG3761 barn;G596 and GodG2316 feedsG5142 them: howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 are you betterG1308 than the fowls?G4071
25
And whichG5101 of you with taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 to his statureG2244 oneG1520 cubit?G4083
26
IfG1487 you thenG3767 be not ableG1410 to do that thing which is least,G1646 whyG5101 take you thoughtG3309 for the rest?G3062
27
ConsiderG2657 the liliesG2918 howG4459 they grow:G837 they toilG2872 not, they spinG3514 not; and yet I sayG3004 to you, that SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 was not arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of these.G5130
28
IfG1487 thenG1161 GodG2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grass,G5528 which is to dayG4594 in the field,G68 and to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the oven;G2823 howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will he clothe you, O you of littleG3640 faith?G3640
29
And seekG2212 not you whatG5101 you shall eat,G5315 orG2228 whatG5101 you shall drink,G4095 neitherG3361 be you of doubtfulG3349 mind.
30
For allG3956 theseG5023 things do the nationsG1484 of the worldG2889 seekG1934 after:G1934 and yourG5216 FatherG3962 knowsG1492 that you have needG5535 of theseG5130 things.
31
But ratherG4133 seekG2212 you the kingdomG932 of God;G2316 and allG3956 theseG5023 things shall be addedG4369 to you.
32
FearG5399 not, littleG3398 flock;G4168 for it is yourG5216 Father'sG3962 good pleasureG2106 to giveG1325 you the kingdom.G932
33
SellG4453 that you have,G5224 and giveG1325 alms;G1654 provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 not old,G3822 a treasureG2344 in the heavensG3772 that failsG413 not, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approaches,G1448 neitherG3761 mothG4597 corrupts.G1311
34
For whereG3699 yourG5216 treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 will yourG5216 heartG2588 be also.G2532
35
Let yourG5216 loinsG3751 be girdedG4024 about,G4024 and yourG3588 lightsG3088 burning;G2545
36
And you yourselves likeG3664 to menG444 that waitG4327 for their lord,G2962 whenG4218 he will returnG360 from the wedding;G1062 that when he comesG2064 and knocks,G2925 they may openG455 to him immediately.G2112
37
BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servants,G1401 whomG3739 the lordG2962 when he comesG2064 shall findG2147 watching:G1127 trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that he shall girdG4024 himself, and makeG347 them to sitG347 downG347 to meat, and will comeG3928 forthG3928 and serveG1247 them.
38
And ifG1437 he shall comeG2064 in the secondG1208 watch,G5438 orG2532 comeG2064 in the thirdG5154 watch,G5438 and findG2147 them so,G3779 blessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servants.G1401
39
And thisG5124 know,G1097 that ifG1487 the managerG3611 of the houseG3617 had knownG1492 whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG2812 would come,G2064 he would have watched,G1127 and not have sufferedG863 his houseG3624 to be brokenG1358 through.G1358
40
Be you thereforeG3767 readyG2092 also:G2532 for the SonG5207 of manG444 comesG2064 at an hourG5610 when you thinkG1380 not.
41
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 to him, Lord,G2962 speakG3004 you thisG5026 parableG3850 to us, orG2228 evenG2532 to all?G3956
42
And the LordG2962 said,G2036 WhoG5101 thenG686 is that faithfulG4103 and wiseG5429 steward,G3623 whomG3739 his lordG2962 shall makeG2525 rulerG2525 overG1909 his household,G2322 to giveG1325 them their portionG4620 of meatG4620 in due season?G2540
43
BlessedG3107 is that servant,G1401 whomG3739 his lordG2962 when he comesG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doing.G4160
44
Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 to you, that he will makeG2525 him rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 that he has.G5224
45
But and ifG1437 that servantG1401 sayG2036 in his heart,G2588 My lordG2962 delaysG5549 his coming;G2064 and shall beginG756 to beatG5180 the menservantsG3816 and maidens,G3814 and to eatG2068 and drink,G4095 and to be drunken;G3182
46
The lordG2962 of that servantG1401 will comeG2240 in a dayG2250 when he looksG4328 not for him, and atG1722 an hourG5610 when he is not aware,G1097 and will cutG1371 him in sunder, and will appointG5087 him his portionG3313 with the unbelievers.G571
47
And that servant,G1401 whichG3588 knewG1097 his lord'sG2962 will,G2307 and preparedG2090 not himself, neitherG3366 didG4160 accordingG4314 to his will,G2307 shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes.
48
But he that knewG1097 not, and did commitG4160 things worthyG514 of stripes,G4127 shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes.G4127 For to whomsoeverG3956 G3739 muchG4183 is given,G1325 of him shall be muchG4183 required:G2212 and to whomG3739 men have committedG3908 much,G4183 of him they will askG154 the more.G4055
49
I am comeG2064 to sendG906 fireG4442 onG1519 the earth;G1093 and whatG5101 willG2309 I, ifG1487 it be alreadyG2235 kindled?G381
50
But I haveG2192 a baptismG908 to be baptizedG907 with; and howG4459 am I straitenedG4912 tillG2193 it be accomplished!G5055
51
SupposeG1380 you that I am comeG3854 to giveG1325 peaceG1515 onG1722 earth?G1093 I tellG3004 you, No;G3780 but ratherG2228 division:G1267
52
For from now onG3568 there shall be fiveG4002 in oneG1520 houseG3624 divided,G1266 threeG5140 againstG1909 two,G1417 and twoG1417 againstG1909 three.G5140
53
The fatherG3962 shall be dividedG1266 againstG1909 the son,G5207 and the sonG5207 againstG1909 the father;G3962 the motherG3384 againstG1909 the daughter,G2364 and the daughterG2364 againstG1909 the mother;G3384 the motherG3994 in lawG3994 againstG1909 her daughterG3565 in law,G3565 and the daughterG3565 in lawG3565 againstG1909 her motherG3994 in law.G3994
54
And he saidG3004 alsoG2532 to the people,G3793 WhenG3752 you seeG1492 a cloudG3507 riseG393 out of the west,G1424 straightwayG2112 you say,G3004 There comesG2064 a shower;G3655 and soG3779 it is.
55
And whenG3753 you see the southG3558 wind blow,G4154 you say,G3004 There will be heat;G2742 and it comesG1096 to pass.
56
You hypocrites,G5273 you canG1492 discernG1381 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772 and of the earth;G1093 but howG4459 is it that you do not discern thisG5126 time?G2540
57
Yes, and whyG5101 evenG2532 of yourselvesG1438 judgeG2919 you not whatG3588 is right?G1342
58
WhenG5613 you goG5217 with yourG4675 adversaryG476 to the magistrate,G758 as you are in the way,G3598 giveG1325 diligenceG2039 that you may be deliveredG525 from him; lestG3379 he haleG2694 you to the judge,G2923 and the judgeG2923 deliverG3860 you to the officer,G4233 and the officerG4233 castG906 you intoG1519 prison.G5438
59
I tellG3004 you, you shall not departG1831 there,G1564 tillG2193 you have paidG591 the very lastG2078 mite.G3016
