1 In 1722 the mean time 3739, when there were gathered together 1996 an innumerable multitude 3461 of people 3793, insomuch that 5620 they trode 2662 one upon another 240, he began 756 to say 3004 unto 4314 his 848 disciples 3101 first of all 4412, Beware 4337 ye 1438 of 575 the leaven 2219 of the Pharisees 5330, which 3748 is 2076 hypocrisy 5272.
2 For 1161 there is 2076 nothing 3762 covered 4780, that 3739 shall 601 0 not 3756 be revealed 601; neither 2532 hid 2927, that 3739 shall 1097 0 not 3756 be known 1097.
3 Therefore 473 3739 whatsoever 3745 ye have spoken 2036 in 1722 darkness 4653 shall be heard 191 in 1722 the light 5457; and 2532 that which 3739 ye have spoken 2980 in 4314 the ear 3775 in 1722 closets 5009 shall be proclaimed 2784 upon 1909 the housetops 1430.
4 And 1161 I say 3004 unto you 5213 my 3450 friends 5384, Be 5399 0 not 3361 afraid 5399 of them 575 that kill 615 the body 4983, and 2532 after 3326 that 5023 have 2192 no 3361 5100 more 4055 that they can do 4160.
5 But 1161 I will forewarn 5263 you 5213 whom 5101 ye shall fear 5399: Fear 5399 him, which after 3326 he hath killed 615 hath 2192 power 1849 to cast 1685 into 1519 hell 1067; yea 3483, I say 3004 unto you 5213, Fear 5399 him 5126.
6 Are 4453 0 not 3780 five 4002 sparrows 4765 sold 4453 for two 1417 farthings 787, and 2532 not 3756 one 1520 of 1537 them 846 is 2076 forgotten 1950 before 1799 God 2316?
7 But 235 even the very 2532 hairs 2359 of your 5216 head 2776 are 705 0 all 3956 numbered 705. Fear 5399 not 3361 therefore 3767: ye are of more value 1308 than many 4183 sparrows 4765.
8 Also 1161 I say 3004 unto you 5213, Whosoever 3956 3739 302 shall confess 3670 1722 me 1698 before 1715 men 444, 1722 him 846 shall 3670 0 the Son 5207 of man 444 also 2532 confess 3670 before 1715 the angels 32 of God 2316:
9 But 1161 he that denieth 720 me 3165 before 1799 men 444 shall be denied 533 before 1799 the angels 32 of God 2316.
10 And 2532 whosoever 3956 3739 shall speak 2046 a word 3056 against 1519 the Son 5207 of man 444, it shall be forgiven 863 him 846: but 1161 unto him that blasphemeth 987 against 1519 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 it shall 863 0 not 3756 be forgiven 863.
11 And 1161 when 3752 they bring 4374 you 5209 unto 1909 the synagogues 4864, and 2532 unto magistrates 746, and 2532 powers 1849, take 3309 0 ye no 3361 thought 3309 how 4459 or 2228 what thing 5101 ye shall answer 626, or 2228 what 5101 ye shall say 2036:
12 For 1063 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 shall teach 1321 you 5209 in 1722 the same 846 hour 5610 what 3739 ye ought 1163 to say 2036.
13 And 1161 one 5100 of 1537 the company 3793 said 2036 unto him 846, Master 1320, speak 2036 to my 3450 brother 80, that he divide 3307 the inheritance 2817 with 3326 me 1700.
14 And 1161 he said 2036 unto him 846, Man 444, who 5101 made 2525 me 3165 a judge 1348 or 2228 a divider 3312 over 1909 you 5209?
15 And 1161 he said 2036 unto 4314 them 846, Take heed 3708, and 2532 beware 5442 of 575 covetousness 4124: for 3754 a man's 5100 life 2222 consisteth 2076 not 3756 in 1722 the abundance 4052 of 1537 the things which he 846 possesseth 5224.
16 And 1161 he spake 2036 a parable 3850 unto 4314 them 846, saying 3004, The ground 5561 of a certain 5100 rich 4145 man 444 brought forth plentifully 2164:
17 And 2532 he thought 1260 within 1722 himself 1438, saying 3004, What 5101 shall I do 4160, because 3754 I have 2192 no 3756 room where 4226 to bestow 4863 my 3450 fruits 2590?
18 And 2532 he said 2036, This 5124 will I do 4160: I will pull down 2507 my 3450 barns 596, and 2532 build 3618 greater 3187; and 2532 there 1563 will I bestow 4863 all 3956 my 3450 fruits 1081 and 2532 my 3450 goods 18.
19 And 2532 I will say 2046 to my 3450 soul 5590, Soul 5590, thou hast 2192 much 4183 goods 18 laid up 2749 for 1519 many 4183 years 2094; take thine ease 373, eat 5315, drink 4095, and be merry 2165.
20 But 1161 God 2316 said 2036 unto him 846, Thou fool 878, this 5026 night 3571 thy 4675 soul 5590 shall be required 523 of 575 thee 4675: then 1161 whose 5101 shall those things be 2071, which 3739 thou hast provided 2090?
21 So 3779 is he that layeth up treasure 2343 for himself 1438, and 2532 is 4147 0 not 3361 rich 4147 toward 1519 God 2316.
22 And 1161 he said 2036 unto 4314 his 848 disciples 3101, Therefore 1223 5124 I say 3004 unto you 5213, Take 3309 0 no 3361 thought 3309 for your 5216 life 5590, what 5101 ye shall eat 5315; neither 3366 for the body 4983, what 5101 ye shall put on 1746.
23 The life 5590 is 2076 more 4119 than meat 5160, and 2532 the body 4983 is more than raiment 1742.
24 Consider 2657 the ravens 2876: for 3754 they neither 3756 sow 4687 nor 3761 reap 2325; which 3739 neither 3756 have 2076 storehouse 5009 nor 3761 barn 596; and 2532 God 2316 feedeth 5142 them 846: how much 4214 more 3123 are 1308 0 ye 5210 better than 1308 the fowls 4071?
25 And 1161 which 5101 of 1537 you 5216 with taking thought 3309 can 1410 add 4369 to 1909 his 848 stature 2244 one 1520 cubit 4083?
26 If 1487 ye then 3767 be 1410 0 not 3777 able to do 1410 that thing which is least 1646, why 5101 take ye thought 3309 for 4012 the rest 3062?
27 Consider 2657 the lilies 2918 how 4459 they grow 837: they toil 2872 not 3756, they spin 3514 not 3761; and yet 1161 I say 3004 unto you 5213, that Solomon 4672 in 1722 all 3956 his 848 glory 1391 was 4016 0 not 3761 arrayed 4016 like 5613 one 1520 of these 5130.
28 If 1487 then 1161 God 2316 so 3779 clothe 294 the grass 5528, which 5607 is to day 4594 in 1722 the field 68, and 2532 to morrow 839 is cast 906 into 1519 the oven 2823; how much 4214 more 3123 will he clothe you 5209, O ye of little faith 3640?
29 And 2532 seek 2212 not 3361 ye 5210 what 5101 ye shall eat 5315, or 2228 what 5101 ye shall drink 4095, 2532 neither 3361 be ye of doubtful mind 3349.
30 For 1063 all 3956 these things 5023 do 1934 0 the nations 1484 of the world 2889 seek after 1934: and 1161 your 5216 Father 3962 knoweth 1492 that 3754 ye have need 5535 of these things 5130.
31 But rather 4133 seek ye 2212 the kingdom 932 of God 2316; and 2532 all 3956 these things 5023 shall be added 4369 unto you 5213.
32 Fear 5399 not 3361, little 3398 flock 4168; for 3754 it is 2106 0 your 5216 Father's 3962 good pleasure 2106 to give 1325 you 5213 the kingdom 932.
33 Sell 4453 that ye 5216 have 5224, and 2532 give 1325 alms 1654; provide 4160 yourselves 1438 bags 905 which wax 3822 0 not 3361 old 3822, a treasure 2344 in 1722 the heavens 3772 that faileth not 413, where 3699 no 3756 thief 2812 approacheth 1448, neither 3761 moth 4597 corrupteth 1311.
34 For 1063 where 3699 your 5216 treasure 2344 is 2076, there 1563 will 2071 0 your 5216 heart 2588 be 2071 also 2532.
35 Let 2077 0 your 5216 loins 3751 be 2077 girded about 4024, and 2532 your lights 3088 burning 2545;
36 And 2532 ye yourselves 5210 like 3664 unto men 444 that wait 4327 for their 1438 lord 2962, when 4219 he will return 360 from 1537 the wedding 1062; that 2443 when he cometh 2064 and 2532 knocketh 2925, they may open 455 unto him 846 immediately 2112.
37 Blessed 3107 are those 1565 servants 1401, whom 3739 the lord 2962 when he cometh 2064 shall find 2147 watching 1127: verily 281 I say 3004 unto you 5213, that 3754 he shall gird himself 4024, and 2532 make 347 0 them 846 to sit down to meat 347, and 2532 will come forth 3928 and serve 1247 them 846.
38 And 2532 if 1437 he shall come 2064 in 1722 the second 1208 watch 5438, or 2532 come 2064 in 1722 the third 5154 watch 5438, and 2532 find 2147 them so 3779, blessed 3107 are 1526 those 1565 servants 1401.
39 And 1161 this 5124 know 1097, that 3754 if 1487 the goodman of the house 3617 had known 1492 what 4169 hour 5610 the thief 2812 would come 2064, 302 he would have watched 1127, and 2532 302 not 3756 have suffered 863 his 848 house 3624 to be broken through 1358.
40 Be 1096 ye 5210 therefore 3767 ready 2092 also 2532: for 3754 3739 the Son 5207 of man 444 cometh 2064 at an hour 5610 when ye think 1380 not 3756.
41 Then 1161 Peter 4074 said 2036 unto him 846, Lord 2962, speakest thou 3004 this 5026 parable 3850 unto 4314 us 2248, or 2228 even 2532 to 4314 all 3956?
42 And 1161 the Lord 2962 said 2036, Who 5101 then 686 is 2076 that faithful 4103 and 2532 wise 5429 steward 3623, whom 3739 his lord 2962 shall make ruler 2525 over 1909 his 848 household 2322, to give 1325 them their portion of meat 4620 in 1722 due season 2540?
43 Blessed 3107 is that 1565 servant 1401, whom 3739 his 846 lord 2962 when he cometh 2064 shall find 2147 so 3779 doing 4160.
44 Of a truth 230 I say 3004 unto you 5213, that 3754 he will make him ruler 2525 over 1909 all 3956 that he 848 hath 5224.
45 But and 1161 if 1437 that 1565 servant 1401 say 2036 in 1722 his 848 heart 2588, My 3450 lord 2962 delayeth 5549 his coming 2064; and 2532 shall begin 756 to beat 5180 the menservants 3816 and 2532 maidens 3814, and 5037 to eat 2068 and 2532 drink 4095, and 2532 to be drunken 3182;
46 The lord 2962 of that 1565 servant 1401 will come 2240 in 1722 a day 2250 when 3739 he looketh 4328 0 not 3756 for 4328 him, and 2532 at 1722 an hour 5610 when 3739 he is 1097 0 not 3756 aware 1097, and 2532 will cut 1371 0 him 846 in sunder 1371, and 2532 will appoint 5087 him his 846 portion 3313 with 3326 the unbelievers 571.
47 And 1161 that 1565 servant 1401, which 3588 knew 1097 his 1438 lord's 2962 will 2307, and 2532 prepared 2090 not 3361 himself, neither 3366 did 4160 according 4314 to his will 2307, shall be beaten 1194 with many 4183 stripes.
48 But 1161 he that knew 1097 not 3361, and 1161 did commit 4160 things worthy 514 of stripes 4127, shall be beaten 1194 with few 3641 stripes. For 1161 unto whomsoever 3739 3956 much 4183 is given 1325, of 3844 him 846 shall be much 4183 required 2212: and 2532 to whom men 3739 have committed 3908 much 4183, of him 846 they will ask 154 the more 4055.
49 I am come 2064 to send 906 fire 4442 on 1519 the earth 1093; and 2532 what 5101 will I 2309, if 1487 it be 381 0 already 2235 kindled 381?
50 But 1161 I have 2192 a baptism 908 to be baptized with 907; and 2532 how 4459 am I straitened 4912 till 2193 it be accomplished 5055!
51 Suppose ye 1380 that 3754 I am come 3854 to give 1325 peace 1515 on 1722 earth 1093? I tell 3004 you 5213, Nay 3780; but 235 rather 2228 division 1267:
52 For 1063 from 575 henceforth 3568 there shall be 2071 five 4002 in 1722 one 1520 house 3624 divided 1266, three 5140 against 1909 two 1417, and 2532 two 1417 against 1909 three 5140.
53 The father 3962 shall be divided 1266 against 1909 the son 5207, and 2532 the son 5207 against 1909 the father 3962; the mother 3384 against 1909 the daughter 2364, and 2532 the daughter 2364 against 1909 the mother 3384; the mother in law 3994 against 1909 her 848 daughter in law 3565, and 2532 the daughter in law 3565 against 1909 her 848 mother in law 3994.
54 And 1161 he said 3004 also 2532 to the people 3793, When 3752 ye see 1492 a cloud 3507 rise 393 out of 575 the west 1424, straightway 2112 ye say 3004, There cometh 2064 a shower 3655; and 2532 so 3779 it is 1096.
55 And 2532 when 3752 ye see the south wind 3558 blow 4154, ye say 3004, 3754 There will be 2071 heat 2742; and 2532 it cometh to pass 1096.
56 Ye hypocrites 5273, ye can 1492 discern 1381 the face 4383 of the sky 3772 and 2532 of the earth 1093; but 1161 how is it 4459 that ye do not 3756 discern 1381 this 5126 time 2540?
57 Yea 1161, and why 5101 even 2532 of 575 yourselves 1438 judge ye 2919 not 3756 what is right 1342?
58 When 5613 1063 thou goest 5217 with 3326 thine 4675 adversary 476 to 1909 the magistrate 758, as thou art in 1722 the way 3598, give 1325 diligence 2039 that thou mayest be delivered 525 from 575 him 846; lest 3379 he hale 2694 thee 4571 to 4314 the judge 2923, and 2532 the judge 2923 deliver 3860 thee 4571 to the officer 4233, and 2532 the officer 4233 cast 906 thee 4571 into 1519 prison 5438.
59 I tell 3004 thee 4671, thou shalt 1831 0 not 3364 depart 1831 thence 1564, 2532 till 2193 3739 thou hast paid 591 the very last 2078 mite 3016.
