Suffi25 Therefore I say unto you, Take cient unto the day is the evil thereof. 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? 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? CHAPTER VII. JUDGE not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine 27 Which of you by taking thought | own eye? can add one cubit unto his stature? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy bro28 And why take ye thought for ther, Let me pull out the mote out of raiment? Consider the lilies of the thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in field, how they grow; they toil not, thine own eye? neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 31 Therefore take no thought, say- 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; ing, What shall we eat? or, What seek, and ye shall find; knock, and shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall it shall be opened unto you: we be clothed? 8 For every one that asketh re 32 (For after all these things do the ceiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; 25 S om. or what ye shall drink; S* for the body 27 translate add to his life one span (literally one cubit) 32 S* for God your Father 33 S his kingdom and righteousness, V his righteousness and kingdom 34 SV shall take thought for itself 7,2 VS om. again 4 S* or how sayest thou; S to thy brother, Brother, let 5 S cast out of thine own eye the beam 3 and to him that knocketh it shall be me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the opened. kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? II If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 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? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 ¶ 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: 25 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. 26 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: 27 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. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. CHAPTER VIII. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth WHEN he was come down from good fruit is hewn down, and cast the mountain, great multitudes folinto the fire. lowed him. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 8 V it is opened 9 SV of whom his son shall ask 10 SV or shall ask 12 S* om. therefore 13 S* for wide and broad is the way 14 S2V2 how strait 22 S* cast out many devils 24 SV shall be likened 29 SV as their scribes 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and 12 But the children of the kingdom touched him, saying, I will; be thou shall be cast out into outer darkness: clean.

And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 14 ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will 16 ¶ When the even was come, they come and heal him. brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 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. 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. 10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. II 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. 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 18 ¶ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 8,3 SV And he put forth; S* om. immediately 4 S* said 5 SV when he was; SV Capharnaum 6 S* om.

And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. 22 S but he saith, V but Jesus saith 23 S into the ship 25 SV and they came to him; SV save: we perish 26 S* the wind 28 S* when they were come; S* of the Gazarenes, V of the Gadarenes 29 SV om.

And he arose, and followed him. 10 ¶ 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. II And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 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. 14 T Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 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. 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. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 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: 21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 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. 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. 27 T And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the 9 S* om. from thence; S* of custom: he saith 10 S* And as they sat at meat; S*om. came and 12 S when he heard; SV om. unto them; S do not need physicians 13 SV om. to repentance 14 S*V om. oft 17 S but new wine must be put 21 S* om. but 22 S* But he turned 24 SV om. unto them; S* to scorn, knowing that she was dead 26 S her fame $7 V om. him 28 S* was entered |
