Bible (KJV) NT 03: Luke

42:011:001 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. 42:011:002 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. 42:011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread. 42:011:004 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. 42:011:005 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; 42:011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 42:011:007 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. 42:011:008 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. 42:011:009 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. 42:011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 42:011:011 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? 42:011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 42:011:013 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? 42:011:014 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. 42:011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 42:011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 42:011:017 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. 42:011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 42:011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 42:011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 42:011:022 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. 42:011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 42:011:024 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. 42:011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 42:011:026 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. 42:011:027 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. 42:011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 42:011:029 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. 42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 42:011:031 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. 42:011:032 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. 42:011:033 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. 42:011:034 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. 42:011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 42:011:036 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. 42:011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 42:011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 42:011:039 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. 42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 42:011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 42:011:042 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. 42:011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 42:011:044 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. 42:011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 42:011:046 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. 42:011:047 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 42:011:048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 42:011:049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 42:011:050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 42:011:051 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. 42:011:052 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. 42:011:053 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: 42:011:054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. 42:012:001 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. 42:012:002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 42:012:003 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. 42:012:004 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. 42:012:005 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. 42:012:006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 42:012:007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 42:012:008 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 42:012:009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 42:012:010 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. 42:012:011 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: 42:012:012 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 42:012:013 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 42:012:014 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 42:012:015 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. 42:012:016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 42:012:017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 42:012:018 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. 42:012:019 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. 42:012:020 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? 42:012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 42:012:022 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. 42:012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 42:012:024 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? 42:012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 42:012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 42:012:027 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. 42:012:028 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? 42:012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 42:012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 42:012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 42:012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 42:012:033 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. 42:012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 42:012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 42:012:036 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. 42:012:037 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. 42:012:038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 42:012:039 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. 42:012:040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 42:012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42:012:042 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? 42:012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 42:012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 42:012:045 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; 42:012:046 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. 42:012:047 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. 42:012:048 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. 42:012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 42:012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 42:012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 42:012:053 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. 42:012:054 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. 42:012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 42:012:056 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? 42:012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 42:012:058 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. 42:012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
