Bible (KJV) NT 03: Luke

42:005:001 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 42:005:002 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 42:005:003 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 42:005:004 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 42:005:005 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 42:005:006 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 42:005:007 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 42:005:008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 42:005:009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 42:005:010 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 42:005:011 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 42:005:012 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 42:005:013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 42:005:014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 42:005:015 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 42:005:016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. 42:005:017 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 42:005:018 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 42:005:019 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 42:005:020 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 42:005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 42:005:022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 42:005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 42:005:024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. 42:005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 42:005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. 42:005:027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 42:005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 42:005:029 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. 42:005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 42:005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 42:005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 42:005:033 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? 42:005:034 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 42:005:035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 42:005:036 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. 42:005:037 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 42:005:038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 42:005:039 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. 42:006:001 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 42:006:002 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 42:006:003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 42:006:004 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 42:006:005 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 42:006:006 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 42:006:007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 42:006:008 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 42:006:009 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 42:006:010 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 42:006:011 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 42:006:012 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 42:006:013 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 42:006:014 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 42:006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 42:006:016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 42:006:017 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 42:006:018 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 42:006:019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 42:006:020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 42:006:021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 42:006:022 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 42:006:023 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 42:006:024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 42:006:025 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 42:006:026 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 42:006:027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 42:006:028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 42:006:029 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. 42:006:030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 42:006:031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 42:006:032 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 42:006:033 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 42:006:034 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 42:006:035 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 42:006:036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 42:006:037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 42:006:038 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 42:006:039 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 42:006:040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 42:006:041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42:006:042 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 42:006:043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 42:006:044 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 42:006:045 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 42:006:046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 42:006:047 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 42:006:048 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 42:006:049 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
