Gospel
of Luke
Luke 8:1
And it came to pass afterward,
that he went throughout every city and
village, preaching and
shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of
God: and the twelve were
with him,
Luke 8:2
And certain women, which
had been healed of evil spirits and
infirmities, Mary called
Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
Luke 8:3
And Joanna the wife of
Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many
others, which ministered
unto him of their substance.
Luke 8:4
And when much people were
gathered together, and were come to him out
of every city, he spake
by a parable:
Luke 8:5
A sower went out to sow
his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the
way side; and it was trodden
down, and the fowls of the air devoured
it.
Luke 8:6
And some fell upon a rock;
and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because
it lacked moisture.
Luke 8:7
And some fell among thorns;
and the thorns sprang up with it, and
choked it.
Luke 8:8
And other fell on good
ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an
hundredfold. And when he
had said these things, he cried, He that
hath ears to hear, let
him hear.
Luke 8:9
And his disciples asked
him, saying, What might this parable be?
Luke 8:10
And he said, Unto you it
is given to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of God: but to
others in parables; that seeing they might not
see, and hearing they might
not understand.
Luke 8:11
Now the parable is this:
The seed is the word of God.
Luke 8:12
Those by the way side are
they that hear; then cometh the devil, and
taketh away the word out
of their hearts, lest they should believe
and be saved.
Luke 8:13
They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive the word
with joy; and these have
no root, which for a while believe, and in
time of temptation fall
away.
Luke 8:14
And that which fell among
thorns are they, which, when they have
heard, go forth, and are
choked with cares and riches and pleasures
of this life, and bring
no fruit to perfection.
Luke 8:15
But that on the good ground
are they, which in an honest and good
heart, having heard the
word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with
patience.
Luke 8:16
No man, when he hath lighted
a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or
putteth it under a bed;
but setteth it on a candlestick, that they
which enter in may see
the light.
Luke 8:17
For nothing is secret,
that shall not be made manifest; neither any
thing hid, that shall not
be known and come abroad.
Luke 8:18
Take heed therefore how
ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be
given; and whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken even that
which he seemeth to have.
Luke 8:19
Then came to him his mother
and his brethren, and could not come at
him for the press.
Luke 8:20
And it was told him by
certain which said, Thy mother and thy
brethren stand without,
desiring to see thee.
Luke 8:21
And he answered and said
unto them, My mother and my brethren are
these which hear the word
of God, and do it.
Luke 8:22
Now it came to pass on
a certain day, that he went into a ship with
his disciples: and he said
unto them, Let us go over unto the other
side of the lake. And they
launched forth.
Luke 8:23
But as they sailed he fell
asleep: and there came down a storm of
wind on the lake; and they
were filled with water, and were in
jeopardy.
Luke 8:24
And they came to him, and
awoke him, saying, Master, master, we
perish. Then he arose,
and rebuked the wind and the raging of the
water: and they ceased,
and there was a calm.
Luke 8:25
And he said unto them,
Where is your faith? And they being afraid
wondered, saying one to
another, What manner of man is this! for he
commandeth even the winds
and water, and they obey him.
Luke 8:26
And they arrived at the
country of the Gadarenes, which is over
against Galilee.
Luke 8:27
And when he went forth
to land, there met him out of the city a
certain man, which had
devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither
abode in any house, but
in the tombs.
Luke 8:28
When he saw Jesus, he cried
out, and fell down before him, and with a
loud voice said, What have
I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God
most high? I beseech thee,
torment me not.
Luke 8:29
(For he had commanded the
unclean spirit to come out of the man. For
oftentimes it had caught
him: and he was kept bound with chains and
in fetters; and he brake
the bands, and was driven of the devil into
the wilderness.)
Luke 8:30
And Jesus asked him, saying,
What is thy name? And he said, Legion:
because many devils were
entered into him.
Luke 8:31
And they besought him that
he would not command them to go out into
the deep.
Luke 8:32
And there was there an
herd of many swine feeding on the mountain:
and they besought him that
he would suffer them to enter into them.
And he suffered them.
Luke 8:33
Then went the devils out
of the man, and entered into the swine: and
the herd ran violently
down a steep place into the lake, and were
choked.
Luke 8:34
When they that fed them
saw what was done, they fled, and went and
told it in the city and
in the country.
Luke 8:35
Then they went out to see
what was done; and came to Jesus, and found
the man, out of whom the
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of
Jesus, clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.
Luke 8:36
They also which saw it
told them by what means he that was possessed
of the devils was healed.
Luke 8:37
Then the whole multitude
of the country of the Gadarenes round about
besought him to depart
from them; for they were taken with great
fear: and he went up into
the ship, and returned back again.
Luke 8:38
Now the man out of whom
the devils were departed besought him that he
might be with him: but
Jesus sent him away, saying,
Luke 8:39
Return to thine own house,
and shew how great things God hath done
unto thee. And he went
his way, and published throughout the whole
city how great things Jesus
had done unto him.
Luke 8:40
And it came to pass, that,
when Jesus was returned, the people gladly
received him: for they
were all waiting for him.
Luke 8:41
And, behold, there came
a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the
synagogue: and he fell
down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he
would come into his house:
Luke 8:42
For he had one only daughter,
about twelve years of age, and she lay
a dying. But as he went
the people thronged him.
Luke 8:43
And a woman having an issue
of blood twelve years, which had spent
all her living upon physicians,
neither could be healed of any,
Luke 8:44
Came behind him, and touched
the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue of
blood stanched.
Luke 8:45
And Jesus said, Who touched
me? When all denied, Peter and they that
were with him said, Master,
the multitude throng thee and press thee,
and sayest thou, Who touched
me?
Luke 8:46
And Jesus said, Somebody
hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue
is gone out of me.
Luke 8:47
And when the woman saw
that she was not hid, she came trembling, and
falling down before him,
she declared unto him before all the people
for what cause she had
touched him and how she was healed immediately.
Luke 8:48
And he said unto her, Daughter,
be of good comfort: thy faith hath
made thee whole; go in
peace.
Luke 8:49
While he yet spake, there
cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying
to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not
the Master.
Luke 8:50
But when Jesus heard it,
he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be
made whole.
Luke 8:51
And when he came into the
house, he suffered no man to go in, save
Peter, and James, and John,
and the father and the mother of the
maiden.
Luke 8:52
And all wept, and bewailed
her: but he said, Weep not; she is not
dead, but sleepeth.
Luke 8:53
And they laughed him to
scorn, knowing that she was dead.
Luke 8:54
And he put them all out,
and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise.
Luke 8:55
And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway: and he
commanded to give her meat.
Luke 8:56
And her parents were astonished:
but he charged them that they should
tell no man what was done.
Luke 9:1
Then he called his twelve
disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils,
and to cure diseases.
Luke 9:2
And he sent them to preach
the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:3
And he said unto them,
Take nothing for your journey, neither staves,
nor scrip, neither bread,
neither money; neither have two coats
apiece.
Luke 9:4
And whatsoever house ye
enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
Luke 9:5
And whosoever will not
receive you, when ye go out of that city,
shake off the very dust
from your feet for a testimony against them.
Luke 9:6
And they departed, and
went through the towns, preaching the gospel,
and healing every where.
Luke 9:7
Now Herod the tetrarch
heard of all that was done by him: and he was
perplexed, because that
it was said of some, that John was risen from
the dead;
Luke 9:8
And of some, that Elias
had appeared; and of others, that one of the
old prophets was risen
again.
Luke 9:9
And Herod said, John have
I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear
such things? And he desired
to see him.
Luke 9:10
And the apostles, when
they were returned, told him all that they had
done. And he took them,
and went aside privately into a desert place
belonging to the city called
Bethsaida.
Luke 9:11
And the people, when they
knew it, followed him: and he received
them, and spake unto them
of the kingdom of God, and healed them that
had need of healing.
Luke 9:12
And when the day began
to wear away, then came the twelve, and said
unto him, Send the multitude
away, that they may go into the towns
and country round about,
and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here
in a desert place.
Luke 9:13
But he said unto them,
Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no
more but five loaves and
two fishes; except we should go and buy meat
for all this people.
Luke 9:14
For they were about five
thousand men. And he said to his disciples,
Make them sit down by fifties
in a company.
Luke 9:15
And they did so, and made
them all sit down.
Luke 9:16
Then he took the five loaves
and the two fishes, and looking up to
heaven, he blessed them,
and brake, and gave to the disciples to set
before the multitude.
Luke 9:17
And they did eat, and were
all filled: and there was taken up of
fragments that remained
to them twelve baskets.
Luke 9:18
And it came to pass, as
he was alone praying, his disciples were with
him: and he asked them,
saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Luke 9:19
They answering said, John
the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others say, that one of
the old prophets is risen again.
Luke 9:20
He said unto them, But
whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said,
The Christ of God.
Luke 9:21
And he straitly charged
them, and commanded them to tell no man that
thing;
Luke 9:22
Saying, The Son of man
must suffer many things, and be rejected of
the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be slain, and be raised
the third day.
Luke 9:23
And he said to them all,
If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me.
Luke 9:24
For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it.
Luke 9:25
For what is a man advantaged,
if he gain the whole world, and lose
himself, or be cast away?
Luke 9:26
For whosoever shall be
ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall
the Son of man be ashamed,
when he shall come in his own glory, and
in his Father's, and of
the holy angels.
Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth,
there be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till
they see the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:28
And it came to pass about
an eight days after these sayings, he took
Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray.
Luke 9:29
And as he prayed, the fashion
of his countenance was altered, and his
raiment was white and glistering.
Luke 9:30
And, behold, there talked
with him two men, which were Moses and
Elias:
Luke 9:31
Who appeared in glory,
and spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luke 9:32
But Peter and they that
were with him were heavy with sleep: and when
they were awake, they saw
his glory, and the two men that stood with
him.
Luke 9:33
And it came to pass, as
they departed from him, Peter said unto
Jesus, Master, it is good
for us to be here: and let us make three
tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not
knowing what he said.
Luke 9:34
While he thus spake, there
came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and
they feared as they entered
into the cloud.
Luke 9:35
And there came a voice
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved
Son: hear him.
Luke 9:36
And when the voice was
past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it
close, and told no man
in those days any of those things which they
had seen.
Luke 9:37
And it came to pass, that
on the next day, when they were come down
from the hill, much people
met him.
Luke 9:38
And, behold, a man of the
company cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon
my son: for he is mine only child.
Luke 9:39
And, lo, a spirit taketh
him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it
teareth him that he foameth
again, and bruising him hardly departeth
from him.
Luke 9:40
And I besought thy disciples
to cast him out; and they could not.
Luke 9:41
And Jesus answering said,
O faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you,
and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
Luke 9:42
And as he was yet a coming,
the devil threw him down, and tare him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean
spirit, and healed the child, and
delivered him again to
his father.
Luke 9:43
And they were all amazed
at the mighty power of God. But while they
wondered every one at all
things which Jesus did, he said unto his
disciples,
Luke 9:44
Let these sayings sink
down into your ears: for the Son of man shall
be delivered into the hands
of men.
Luke 9:45
But they understood not
this saying, and it was hid from them, that
they perceived it not:
and they feared to ask him of that saying.
Luke 9:46
Then there arose a reasoning
among them, which of them should be
greatest.
Luke 9:47
And Jesus, perceiving the
thought of their heart, took a child, and
set him by him,
Luke 9:48
And said unto them, Whosoever
shall receive this child in my name
receiveth me: and whosoever
shall receive me receiveth him that sent
me: for he that is least
among you all, the same shall be great.
Luke 9:49
And John answered and said,
Master, we saw one casting out devils in
thy name; and we forbad
him, because he followeth not with us.
Luke 9:50
And Jesus said unto him,
Forbid him not: for he that is not against
us is for us.
Luke 9:51
And it came to pass, when
the time was come that he should be
received up, he stedfastly
set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Luke 9:52
And sent messengers before
his face: and they went, and entered into
a village of the Samaritans,
to make ready for him.
Luke 9:53
And they did not receive
him, because his face was as though he would
go to Jerusalem.
Luke 9:54
And when his disciples
James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt
thou that we command fire
to come down from heaven, and consume them,
even as Elias did?
Luke 9:55
But he turned, and rebuked
them, and said, Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of.
Luke 9:56
For the Son of man is not
come to destroy men's lives, but to save
them. And they went to
another village.
Luke 9:57
And it came to pass, that,
as they went in the way, a certain man
said unto him, Lord, I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Luke 9:58
And Jesus said unto him,
Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.
Luke 9:59
And he said unto another,
Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my
father.
Luke 9:60
Jesus said unto him, Let
the dead bury their dead: but go thou and
preach the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:61
And another also said,
Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go
bid them farewell, which
are at home at my house.
Luke 9:62
And Jesus said unto him,
No man, having put his hand to the plough,
and looking back, is fit
for the kingdom of God.
Luke 10:1
After these things the
Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent
them two and two before
his face into every city and place, whither
he himself would come.
Luke 10:2
Therefore said he unto
them, The harvest truly is great, but the
labourers are few: pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
would send forth labourers
into his harvest.
Luke 10:3
Go your ways: behold, I
send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Luke 10:4
Carry neither purse, nor
scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the
way.
Luke 10:5
And into whatsoever house
ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luke 10:6
And if the son of peace
be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if
not, it shall turn to you
again.
Luke 10:7
And in the same house remain,
eating and drinking such things as they
give: for the labourer
is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to
house.
Luke 10:8
And into whatsoever city
ye enter, and they receive you, eat such
things as are set before
you:
Luke 10:9
And heal the sick that
are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 10:10
But into whatsoever city
ye enter, and they receive you not, go your
ways out into the streets
of the same, and say,
Luke 10:11
Even the very dust of your
city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off
against you: notwithstanding
be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 10:12
But I say unto you, that
it shall be more tolerable in that day for
Sodom, than for that city.
Luke 10:13
Woe unto thee, Chorazin!
woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty
works had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you,
they had a great while
ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luke 10:14
But it shall be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment,
than for you.
Luke 10:15
And thou, Capernaum, which
art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust
down to hell.
Luke 10:16
He that heareth you heareth
me; and he that despiseth you despiseth
me; and he that despiseth
me despiseth him that sent me.
Luke 10:17
And the seventy returned
again with joy, saying, Lord, even the
devils are subject unto
us through thy name.
Luke 10:18
And he said unto them,
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the
enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you.
Luke 10:20
Notwithstanding in this
rejoice not, that the spirits are subject
unto you; but rather rejoice,
because your names are written in
heaven.
Luke 10:21
In that hour Jesus rejoiced
in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, that thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes: even
so, Father; for so it seemed
good in thy sight.
Luke 10:22
All things are delivered
to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who
the Son is, but the Father;
and who the Father is, but the Son, and
he to whom the Son will
reveal him.
Luke 10:23
And he turned him unto
his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are
the eyes which see the
things that ye see:
Luke 10:24
For I tell you, that many
prophets and kings have desired to see
those things which ye see,
and have not seen them; and to hear those
things which ye hear, and
have not heard them.
Luke 10:25
And, behold, a certain
lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying,
Master, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life?
Luke 10:26
He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luke 10:27
And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind; and thy neighbour
as thyself.
Luke 10:28
And he said unto him, Thou
hast answered right: this do, and thou
shalt live.
Luke 10:29
But he, willing to justify
himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour?
Luke 10:30
And Jesus answering said,
A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among
thieves, which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed,
leaving him half dead.
Luke 10:31
And by chance there came
down a certain priest that way: and when he
saw him, he passed by on
the other side.
Luke 10:32
And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the
other side.
Luke 10:33
But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed, came where he was: and when
he saw him, he had compassion
on him,
Luke 10:34
And went to him, and bound
up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own
beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him.
Luke 10:35
And on the morrow when
he departed, he took out two pence, and gave
them to the host, and said
unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when
I come again, I will repay thee.
Luke 10:36
Which now of these three,
thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that
fell among the thieves?
Luke 10:37
And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
Luke 10:38
Now it came to pass, as
they went, that he entered into a certain
village: and a certain
woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luke 10:39
And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and
heard his word.
Luke 10:40
But Martha was cumbered
about much serving, and came to him, and
said, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister hath left me to serve
alone? bid her therefore
that she help me.
Luke 10:41
And Jesus answered and
said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art
careful and troubled about
many things:
Luke 10:42
But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen that good part, which
shall not be taken away
from her.
Luke 11:1
And it came to pass, that,
as he was praying in a certain place, when
he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us to
pray, as John also taught
his disciples.
Luke 11:2
And he said unto them,
When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as
in heaven, so in earth.
Luke 11:3
Give us day by day our
daily bread.
Luke 11:4
And forgive us our sins;
for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead
us not into temptation; but deliver us from
evil.
Luke 11:5
And he said unto them,
Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go
unto him at midnight, and
say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luke 11:6
For a friend of mine in
his journey is come to me, and I have nothing
to set before him?
Luke 11:7
And he from within shall
answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is
now shut, and my children
are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give
thee.
Luke 11:8
I say unto you, Though
he will not rise and give him, because he is
his friend, yet because
of his importunity he will rise and give him
as many as he needeth.
Luke 11:9
And I say unto you, Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:10
For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and
to him that knocketh it
shall be opened.
Luke 11:11
If a son shall ask bread
of any of you that is a father, will he give
him a stone? or if he ask
a fish, will he for a fish give him a
serpent?
Luke 11:12
Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion?
Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more
shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask
him?
Luke 11:14
And he was casting out
a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass,
when the devil was gone
out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
Luke 11:15
But some of them said,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the
chief of the devils.
Luke 11:16
And others, tempting him,
sought of him a sign from heaven.
Luke 11:17
But he, knowing their thoughts,
said unto them, Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought
to desolation; and a house divided against
a house falleth.
Luke 11:18
If Satan also be divided
against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand? because ye say that
I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
Luke 11:19
And if I by Beelzebub cast
out devils, by whom do your sons cast them
out? therefore shall they
be your judges.
Luke 11:20
But if I with the finger
of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom
of God is come upon you.
Luke 11:21
When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
Luke 11:22
But when a stronger than
he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he
taketh from him all his
armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his
spoils.
Luke 11:23
He that is not with me
is against me: and he that gathereth not with
me scattereth.
Luke 11:24
When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and
finding none, he saith, I will return unto
my house whence I came
out.
Luke 11:25
And when he cometh, he
findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke 11:26
Then goeth he, and taketh
to him seven other spirits more wicked than
himself; and they enter
in, and dwell there: and the last state of
that man is worse than
the first.
Luke 11:27
And it came to pass, as
he spake these things, a certain woman of the
company lifted up her voice,
and said unto him, Blessed is the womb
that bare thee, and the
paps which thou hast sucked.
Luke 11:28
But he said, Yea rather,
blessed are they that hear the word of God,
and keep it.
Luke 11:29
And when the people were
gathered thick together, he began to say,
This is an evil generation:
they seek a sign; and there shall no sign
be given it, but the sign
of Jonas the prophet.
Luke 11:30
For as Jonas was a sign
unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of
man be to this generation.
Luke 11:31
The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with the men of
this generation, and condemn
them: for she came from the utmost parts
of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater
than Solomon is here.
Luke 11:32
The men of Nineve shall
rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it: for
they repented at the preaching of Jonas;
and, behold, a greater
than Jonas is here.
Luke 11:33
No man, when he hath lighted
a candle, putteth it in a secret place,
neither under a bushel,
but on a candlestick, that they which come in
may see the light.
Luke 11:34
The light of the body is
the eye: therefore when thine eye is single,
thy whole body also is
full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy
body also is full of darkness.
Luke 11:35
Take heed therefore that
the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Luke 11:36
If thy whole body therefore
be full of light, having no part dark,
the whole shall be full
of light, as when the bright shining of a
candle doth give thee light.
Luke 11:37
And as he spake, a certain
Pharisee besought him to dine with him:
and he went in, and sat
down to meat.
Luke 11:38
And when the Pharisee saw
it, he marvelled that he had not first
washed before dinner.
Luke 11:39
And the Lord said unto
him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and
the platter; but your inward part is full of
ravening and wickedness.
Luke 11:40
Ye fools, did not he that
made that which is without make that which
is within also?
Luke 11:41
But rather give alms of
such things as ye have; and, behold, all
things are clean unto you.
Luke 11:42
But woe unto you, Pharisees!
for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner
of herbs, and pass over
judgment and the love of God: these ought ye
to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.
Luke 11:43
Woe unto you, Pharisees!
for ye love the uppermost seats in the
synagogues, and greetings
in the markets.
Luke 11:44
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves
which appear not, and the
men that walk over them are not aware of
them.
Luke 11:45
Then answered one of the
lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus
saying thou reproachest
us also.
Luke 11:46
And he said, Woe unto you
also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with
burdens grievous to be
borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens
with one of your fingers.
Luke 11:47
Woe unto you! for ye build
the sepulchres of the prophets, and your
fathers killed them.
Luke 11:48
Truly ye bear witness that
ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for
they indeed killed them,
and ye build their sepulchres.
Luke 11:49
Therefore also said the
wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and
apostles, and some of them
they shall slay and persecute:
Luke 11:50
That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world,
may be required of this generation;
Luke 11:51
From the blood of Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished
between the altar and the
temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be
required of this generation.
Luke 11:52
Woe unto you, lawyers!
for ye have taken away the key of knowledge:
ye entered not in yourselves,
and them that were entering in ye
hindered.
Luke 11:53
And as he said these things
unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees
began to urge him vehemently,
and to provoke him to speak of many
things:
Luke 11:54
Laying wait for him, and
seeking to catch something out of his mouth,
that they might accuse
him.
Luke 12:1
In the mean time, when
there were gathered together an innumerable
multitude of people, insomuch
that they trode one upon another, he
began to say unto his disciples
first of all, Beware ye of the leaven
of the Pharisees, which
is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2
For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be
known.
Luke 12:3
Therefore whatsoever ye
have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the
light; and that which ye
have spoken in the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:4
And I say unto you my friends,
Be not afraid of them that kill the
body, and after that have
no more that they can do.
Luke 12:5
But I will forewarn you
whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he
hath killed hath power
to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear
him.
Luke 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold
for two farthings, and not one of them is
forgotten before God?
Luke 12:7
But even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered. Fear not
therefore: ye are of more
value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:8
Also I say unto you, Whosoever
shall confess me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess
before the angels of God:
Luke 12:9
But he that denieth me
before men shall be denied before the angels
of God.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak
a word against the Son of man, it shall be
forgiven him: but unto
him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it
shall not be forgiven.
Luke 12:11
And when they bring you
unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates,
and powers, take ye no
thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or
what ye shall say:
Luke 12:12
For the Holy Ghost shall
teach you in the same hour what ye ought to
say.
Luke 12:13
And one of the company
said unto him, Master, speak to my brother,
that he divide the inheritance
with me.
Luke 12:14
And he said unto him, Man,
who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Luke 12:15
And he said unto them,
Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not
in the abundance of the things which he
possesseth.
Luke 12:16
And he spake a parable
unto them, saying, The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth
plentifully:
Luke 12:17
And he thought within himself,
saying, What shall I do, because I
have no room where to bestow
my fruits?
Luke 12:18
And he said, This will
I do: I will pull down my barns, and build
greater; and there will
I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luke 12:19
And I will say to my soul,
Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine
ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Luke 12:20
But God said unto him,
Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then
whose shall those things be, which thou hast
provided?
Luke 12:21
So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is not rich toward
God.
Luke 12:22
And he said unto his disciples,
Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life,
what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what
ye shall put on.
Luke 12:23
The life is more than meat,
and the body is more than raiment.
Luke 12:24
Consider the ravens: for
they neither sow nor reap; which neither
have storehouse nor barn;
and God feedeth them: how much more are ye
better than the fowls?
Luke 12:25
And which of you with taking
thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Luke 12:26
If ye then be not able
to do that thing which is least, why take ye
thought for the rest?
Luke 12:27
Consider the lilies how
they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and
yet I say unto you, that
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
Luke 12:28
If then God so clothe the
grass, which is to day in the field, and to
morrow is cast into the
oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye
of little faith?
Luke 12:29
And seek not ye what ye
shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be
ye of doubtful mind.
Luke 12:30
For all these things do
the nations of the world seek after: and your
Father knoweth that ye
have need of these things.
Luke 12:31
But rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and all these things shall be
added unto you.
Luke 12:32
Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give
you the kingdom.
Luke 12:33
Sell that ye have, and
give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax
not old, a treasure in
the heavens that faileth not, where no thief
approacheth, neither moth
corrupteth.
Luke 12:34
For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:35
Let your loins be girded
about, and your lights burning;
Luke 12:36
And ye yourselves like
unto men that wait for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh, they
may open unto him immediately.
Luke 12:37
Blessed are those servants,
whom the lord when he cometh shall find
watching: verily I say
unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
them to sit down to meat,
and will come forth and serve them.
Luke 12:38
And if he shall come in
the second watch, or come in the third watch,
and find them so, blessed
are those servants.
Luke 12:39
And this know, that if
the goodman of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he
would have watched, and not have suffered
his house to be broken
through.
Luke 12:40
Be ye therefore ready also:
for the Son of man cometh at an hour when
ye think not.
Luke 12:41
Then Peter said unto him,
Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,
or even to all?
Luke 12:42
And the Lord said, Who
then is that faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord shall make ruler
over his household, to give them their
portion of meat in due
season?
Luke 12:43
Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
Luke 12:44
Of a truth I say unto you,
that he will make him ruler over all that
he hath.
Luke 12:45
But and if that servant
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming; and shall begin
to beat the menservants and maidens, and to
eat and drink, and to be
drunken;
Luke 12:46
The lord of that servant
will come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and at an hour when
he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his
portion with the unbelievers.
Luke 12:47
And that servant, which
knew his lord's will, and prepared not
himself, neither did according
to his will, shall be beaten with many
stripes.
Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and
did commit things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him
shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed much, of him
they will ask the more.
Luke 12:49
I am come to send fire
on the earth; and what will I if it be already
kindled?
Luke 12:50
But I have a baptism to
be baptized with; and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!
Luke 12:51
Suppose ye that I am come
to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
Luke 12:52
For from henceforth there
shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against
three.
Luke 12:53
The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against
the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law
against her daughter in law, and the
daughter in law against
her mother in law.
Luke 12:54
And he said also to the
people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the
west, straightway ye say,
There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Luke 12:55
And when ye see the south
wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and
it cometh to pass.
Luke 12:56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the earth;
but how is it that ye do
not discern this time?
Luke 12:57
Yea, and why even of yourselves
judge ye not what is right?
Luke 12:58
When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate, as thou art
in the way, give diligence
that thou mayest be delivered from him;
lest he hale thee to the
judge, and the judge deliver thee to the
officer, and the officer
cast thee into prison.
Luke 12:59
I tell thee, thou shalt
not depart thence, till thou hast paid the
very last mite.
Luke 13:1
There were present at that
season some that told him of the
Galilaeans, whose blood
Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Luke 13:2
And Jesus answering said
unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans
were sinners above all
the Galilaeans, because they suffered such
things?
Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except
ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:4
Or those eighteen, upon
whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them,
think ye that they were
sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luke 13:5
I tell you, Nay: but, except
ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:6
He spake also this parable;
A certain man had a fig tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came
and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luke 13:7
Then said he unto the dresser
of his vineyard, Behold, these three
years I come seeking fruit
on this fig tree, and find none: cut it
down; why cumbereth it
the ground?
Luke 13:8
And he answering said unto
him, Lord, let it alone this year also,
till I shall dig about
it, and dung it:
Luke 13:9
And if it bear fruit, well:
and if not, then after that thou shalt
cut it down.
Luke 13:10
And he was teaching in
one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Luke 13:11
And, behold, there was
a woman which had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was
bowed together, and could in no wise lift up
herself.
Luke 13:12
And when Jesus saw her,
he called her to him, and said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed
from thine infirmity.
Luke 13:13
And he laid his hands on
her: and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God.
Luke 13:14
And the ruler of the synagogue
answered with indignation, because
that Jesus had healed on
the sabbath day, and said unto the people,
There are six days in which
men ought to work: in them therefore come
and be healed, and not
on the sabbath day.
Luke 13:15
The Lord then answered
him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each
one of you on the sabbath
loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and
lead him away to watering?
Luke 13:16
And ought not this woman,
being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
hath bound, lo, these eighteen
years, be loosed from this bond on the
sabbath day?
Luke 13:17
And when he had said these
things, all his adversaries were ashamed:
and all the people rejoiced
for all the glorious things that were
done by him.
Luke 13:18
Then said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto
shall I resemble it?
Luke 13:19
It is like a grain of mustard
seed, which a man took, and cast into
his garden; and it grew,
and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the
air lodged in the branches
of it.
Luke 13:20
And again he said, Whereunto
shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luke 13:21
It is like leaven, which
a woman took and hid in three measures of
meal, till the whole was
leavened.
Luke 13:22
And he went through the
cities and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem.
Luke 13:23
Then said one unto him,
Lord, are there few that be saved? And he
said unto them,
Luke 13:24
Strive to enter in at the
strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall
not be able.
Luke 13:25
When once the master of
the house is risen up, and hath shut to the
door, and ye begin to stand
without, and to knock at the door,
saying, Lord, Lord, open
unto us; and he shall answer and say unto
you, I know you not whence
ye are:
Luke 13:26
Then shall ye begin to
say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught in
our streets.
Luke 13:27
But he shall say, I tell
you, I know you not whence ye are; depart
from me, all ye workers
of iniquity.
Luke 13:28
There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and
Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom
of God, and you yourselves
thrust out.
Luke 13:29
And they shall come from
the east, and from the west, and from the
north, and from the south,
and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Luke 13:30
And, behold, there are
last which shall be first, and there are first
which shall be last.
Luke 13:31
The same day there came
certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart
hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Luke 13:32
And he said unto them,
Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out
devils, and I do cures
to day and to morrow, and the third day I
shall be perfected.
Luke 13:33
Nevertheless I must walk
to day, and to morrow, and the day
following: for it cannot
be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Luke 13:34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
which killest the prophets, and stonest them
that are sent unto thee;
how often would I have gathered thy children
together, as a hen doth
gather her brood under her wings, and ye
would not!
Luke 13:35
Behold, your house is left
unto you desolate: and verily I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me,
until the time come when ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
