Bible (KJV) NT 03: Luke

42:007:001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 42:007:002 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 42:007:003 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 42:007:004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 42:007:005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 42:007:006 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 42:007:007 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 42:007:008 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 42:007:009 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 42:007:010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. 42:007:011 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. 42:007:012 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 42:007:013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 42:007:014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 42:007:015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 42:007:016 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 42:007:017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. 42:007:018 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. 42:007:019 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 42:007:020 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 42:007:021 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. 42:007:022 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 42:007:023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 42:007:024 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 42:007:025 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 42:007:026 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 42:007:027 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 42:007:028 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 42:007:029 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 42:007:030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. 42:007:031 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 42:007:032 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 42:007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 42:007:034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 42:007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children. 42:007:036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 42:007:037 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 42:007:038 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 42:007:039 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 42:007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 42:007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42:007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 42:007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 42:007:044 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 42:007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 42:007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 42:007:047 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 42:007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 42:007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 42:007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. 42:008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 42:008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 42:008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. 42:008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 42:008:005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 42:008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 42:008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 42:008:008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 42:008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 42:008:010 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 42:008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 42:008:012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 42:008:013 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 42:008:014 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 42:008:015 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 42:008:016 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. 42:008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 42:008:018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. 42:008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 42:008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 42:008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. 42:008:022 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 42:008:023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 42:008:024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 42:008:025 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. 42:008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 42:008:027 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 42:008:028 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. 42:008:029 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 42:008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 42:008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 42:008:032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 42:008:033 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 42:008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 42:008:035 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 42:008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 42:008:037 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. 42:008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 42:008:039 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. 42:008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 42:008:041 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42:008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 42:008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 42:008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 42:008:045 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 42:008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 42:008:047 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 42:008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 42:008:049 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 42:008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 42:008:051 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 42:008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 42:008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 42:008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 42:008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 42:008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
