Chapter 10
Mat 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.
Mat 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;
Mat 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Mat 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
him.
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans
enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Mat 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses,
Mat 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither
shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Mat 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire
who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
Mat 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
Mat 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon
it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to
the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh in you.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mat 10:23 But when 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.
Mat 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant
above his lord.
Mat 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?
Mat 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light:
and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
Mat 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.
Mat 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him
will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I
also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Mat 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.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after
me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Mat 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth
me receiveth him that sent me.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Chapter 11
Mat 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.
Mat 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,
he sent two of his disciples,
Mat 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or
do we look for another?
Mat 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John
again those things which ye do hear and see:
Mat 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.
Mat 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in
me.
Mat 11:7 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?
Mat 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
Mat 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say
unto you, and more than a prophet.
Mat 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send
my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Mat 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was
for to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is
like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
Mat 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they
say, He hath a devil.
Mat 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.
Mat 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Mat 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.
Mat 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Mat 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.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 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.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Chapter 12
Mat 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the
corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of
corn, and to eat.
Mat 12:2 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.
Mat 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did,
when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Mat 12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which
were with him, but only for the priests?
Mat 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?
Mat 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater
than the temple.
Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Mat 12:9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their
synagogue:
Mat 12:10 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.
Mat 12:11 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?
Mat 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore
it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Mat 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.
Mat 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against
him, how they might destroy him.
Mat 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence:
and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Mat 12:16 And charged them that they should not make him known:
Mat 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet, saying,
Mat 12:18 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 show judgment to the Gentiles.
Mat 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man
hear his voice in the streets.
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax
shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Mat 12:22 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.
Mat 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this
the son of David?
Mat 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.
Mat 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:
Mat 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then
the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Mat 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.
Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak
good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35 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.
Mat 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.
Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned.
Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 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:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas 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.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching
of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Mat 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.
Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Mat 12:44 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.
Mat 12:45 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.
Mat 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother
and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Mat 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who
is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,
and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which
is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
