路加福音 7-9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好百夫长的仆人(A)
7 耶稣向群众讲完这一切话，就进了迦百农。 2 有百夫长所重用的一个奴仆，病得快要死了。 3 百夫长听见耶稣的事，就打发犹太人中几个长老到他那里，求他去医治他的奴仆。 4 长老们就来见耶稣，恳切地求他说：“你给他行这事，是他配得的， 5 因为他爱我们的人民，给我们建造会堂。” 6 耶稣就和他们同去。离那家不远的时候，百夫长派几个朋友来说：“主啊，不必劳驾，因为你到舍下来，我实在不敢当， 7 我也觉得没有资格去见你；只要你说一句话，我的仆人就必好了。 8 因为我自己是在别人的权下，也有兵在我以下；我对这个说：‘去！’他就去；对另一个说：‘来！’他就来；对我的仆人说：‘作这个！’他就作。” 9 耶稣听见这些话，就很惊奇，转身对跟随的众人说：“我告诉你们，这样的信心，我在以色列中从来没有见过。” 10 奉派的人回到家里，见那奴仆已经好了。
使拿因城寡妇的儿子复活
11 后来耶稣往拿因城去，与他同去的有门徒和一大群人。 12 他走近城门的时候，有人把一个死人抬出来，是个独生子，他母亲又是个寡妇。城里有一大群人陪着她。 13 主看见了，就怜悯她，对她说：“不要哭！” 14 于是上前按着杠子，抬的人就站住。他说：“青年人，我吩咐你起来！” 15 那死人就坐起来，开口说话，耶稣就把他交给他母亲。 16 众人都惊惧，颂赞 神说：“有伟大的先知在我们中间兴起来了！”又说：“ 神眷顾他的子民了！” 17 于是这话传遍了犹太和周围各地。
约翰派门徒去见耶稣(B)
18 约翰的门徒把这一切事告诉约翰。他就叫了两个门徒， 19 差他们往主那里去，说：“你就是那位要来的，还是我们要等别人呢？” 20 两人来到耶稣跟前，说：“施洗的约翰差我们来问你：‘你就是那位要来的，还是我们要等别人呢？’” 21 就在那时候，耶稣治好许多患疾病的、遭灾难的、身上有污鬼附着的，并且施恩给瞎眼的，使他们看见。 22 耶稣回答他们：“你们回去，把看见和听见的都告诉约翰，就是瞎的可以看见，跛的可以走路，患痲风的得到洁净，聋的可以听见，死人复活，穷人有福音听。 23 那不被我绊倒的，就有福了。”
耶稣论约翰(C)
24 约翰差来的人走了以后，耶稣对群众讲起约翰来，说：“你们到旷野去，是要看甚么？被风吹动的芦苇吗？ 25 你们出去到底要看甚么？身穿华丽衣服的人吗？这些衣服华丽，生活奢侈的人，是在王宫里的。 26 那么，你们出去要看甚么？先知吗？我告诉你们，是的。他比先知重要得多了。 27 圣经所记：
‘看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
他必在你前头预备你的道路’，
这句话是指着他说的。 28 我告诉你们，妇人所生的，没有一个比约翰更大，然而在 神的国里最小的比他还大。” 29 众人和税吏受过约翰的洗礼，听见这话，就称 神为义。 30 但法利赛人和律法师，未受过约翰的洗礼，就拒绝 神对他们的美意。 31 耶稣又说：“我要把这世代的人比作甚么呢？他们好象甚么呢？ 32 他们好象小孩子坐在巿中心，彼此呼叫，说：
‘我们给你们吹笛子，你们却不跳舞；
我们唱哀歌，你们也不啼哭。’
33 因为施洗的约翰来了，不吃饭，不喝酒，你们说他是鬼附的。 34 人子来了，又吃又喝，你们说：‘你看，这人贪食好酒，与税吏和罪人为友。’ 35 但 神的智慧，借着他的儿女就证实是公义的了。”
赦免犯了罪的女人（参(D)
36 有一个法利赛人，请耶稣同他吃饭，他就到法利赛人家去赴席。 37 那城里有一个女人，是个罪人，知道他在法利赛人家里吃饭，就拿着一瓶香膏， 38 站在耶稣背后，挨近他的脚哭，眼泪滴湿他的脚，又用自己的头发擦干，不住地吻他的脚，并且抹上香膏。 39 请他的法利赛人看见了，心里说：“这人若是先知，必定知道摸他的是谁，是怎样的女人，因为她是个罪人！” 40 耶稣对他说：“西门，我有句话要对你说。”他说：“老师，请说。” 41 耶稣说：“一个债主有两个债户，一个欠五百银币，一个欠五十。 42 他们都无力偿还，债主就把两人豁免了。他们之中哪一个更爱他呢？” 43 西门回答：“我想是那个多得恩免的。”耶稣说：“你判断对了。” 44 于是转身向着那女人，对西门说：“你看见这女人吗？我进了你的家，你没有给我水洗脚，但这女人用眼泪湿了我的脚，用头发擦干。 45 你没有和我亲吻；但这女人，自从我进来，就不住地亲我的脚。 46 你没有用油抹我的头；但这女人用香膏抹我的脚。 47 所以我告诉你，她许多罪都蒙赦免了，因为她的爱多；那赦免少的，爱就少。” 48 耶稣就对她说：“你的罪赦免了。” 49 跟他一起吃饭的人心里说：“这是谁，竟然赦罪呢？” 50 耶稣对那女人说：“你的信救了你，平安地去吧！”
跟从耶稣的妇女
8 不久，耶稣周游各城各村讲道，宣扬 神的国的福音，和他在一起的有十二个门徒， 2 还有几个蒙了医治、脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女，其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚，曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来； 3 有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿，又有苏珊娜，和许多别的妇女，她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。
撒种的比喻(E)
4 当时有许多人聚在一起，还有人从各城来到耶稣那里，他就用比喻说： 5 “有一个撒种的出去撒种，撒的时候，有的落在路旁，被人践踏，或给空中的小鸟吃掉。 6 有的落在石头地上，一长出来就枯萎了，因为得不着滋润。 7 有的落在荆棘丛中，荆棘也一齐生长，把它挤住了。 8 有的落在好土里，就生长起来，结出百倍的果实。”他说了这些话，就大声说：“有耳可听的，就应当听！”
用比喻的目的(F)
9 门徒问他这比喻是甚么意思。 10 他说：“ 神的国的奥秘，只给你们知道，对别人就用比喻，叫他们看却看不见，听却听不明白。
解释撒种的比喻(G)
11 “这比喻是说，种子是 神的道， 12 那落在路旁的，就是人听了，魔鬼随即来到，从他们心里把道夺去，恐怕他们相信就得救了。 13 那落在石头地上的，就是人听了，欢欢喜喜地接受，但是没有根，不过是暂时相信，一旦遭遇试炼，就倒退了。 14 那落在荆棘里的，就是人听了，走开以后，被今世的忧虑、财富和宴乐挤住了，结不出成熟的子粒来。 15 但那落在好土里的，就是人用诚实良善的心来听，把道持守住，忍耐着结出果实。
隐藏的事终必显露(H)
16 “没有人点灯用器皿盖上，或放在床底下，而是放在灯台上，叫进来的人都看得见光。 17 因为没有甚么隐藏的事不被显明，也没有甚么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来。 18 所以你们应当留心怎样听，因为凡是有的，还要给他；凡是没有的，连他自以为有的，也要拿去。”
谁是耶稣的母亲和弟兄(I)
19 耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里，因为人多，不能到他跟前。 20 有人转告耶稣：“你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你。” 21 他回答他们：“听了 神的道而遵行的人，才是我的母亲，我的弟兄。”
平静风浪(J)
22 有一天，耶稣和门徒上了船，他对他们说：“我们渡到海那边去吧。”他们就开了船。 23 船行的时候，他睡着了。海上忽然起了狂风，他们全身湿透，非常危险。 24 门徒来叫醒耶稣，说：“主啊！主啊！我们没命了！”他醒过来，斥责风浪，风浪就止息、平静了。 25 耶稣对他们说：“你们的信心在哪里？”他们又惧怕、又希奇，彼此说：“这到底是谁？他吩咐风浪，连风浪也听从他。”
治好鬼附的格拉森人(K)
26 船到了格拉森人的地区，正在加利利对面， 27 耶稣一上岸，就有城里一个被鬼附着的人，迎面而来。这人已经很久不穿衣服，不住在家里，只住在坟墓里。 28 他一见耶稣，就俯伏喊叫，大声说：“至高 神的儿子耶稣，我跟你有甚么关系呢？求你不要使我受苦。” 29 因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来。原来这污灵屡次抓住那人；那人被铁链和脚炼捆锁，而且有人看管，他竟挣断锁炼，被鬼赶入旷野。 30 耶稣问他：“你叫甚么名字？”他说：“群。”因为进到那人里面的鬼很多。 31 他们求耶稣，不要赶他们进入无底坑。
32 那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西。他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群。耶稣准许了， 33 鬼就从那人身上出来，进入猪群，猪群闯下山崖，掉在海里淹死了。 34 放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑，到城里和各乡村把这事传开。 35 众人就出来看发生了甚么事。来到耶稣那里，看见鬼已经离开的那人，穿著衣服，神志清醒，坐在耶稣脚前，他们就害怕。 36 当时看见的人，把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治，说给他们听。 37 格拉森一带的人，都要求耶稣离开他们，因为他们大大惧怕。他就上船回去了。 38 鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣，要跟他在一起；但耶稣打发他回去，说： 39 “你回家去，述说 神为你作了怎样的事。”他就走遍全城，传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事。
治好血漏病的女人(L)
40 耶稣回来的时候，众人欢迎他，因为大家都在等着他。 41 那时，有一个人来了，名叫叶鲁，他是一位会堂主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前，求他往他家里去， 42 因为他的独生女，约十二岁，快要死了。耶稣去的时候，群众拥挤着他。
43 有一个女人，患了十二年的血漏病，在医生手里花尽了全部养生的（有些抄本无“在医生手里花尽了全部养生的”一句），没有一个能医好她。 44 她从后面挤来，一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子，血就立刻止住。 45 耶稣说：“摸我的是谁？”众人都不承认。彼得说：“主啊，众人都拥挤着你。” 46 耶稣说：“必定有人摸我，因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去。” 47 那女人见不能隐瞒，就战战兢兢地过来，向他俯伏，把摸他的缘故，和怎样立刻得到医治，在众人面前说出来。 48 耶稣对她说：“女儿，你的信使你痊愈了，平安地去吧！”
使女孩复活(M)
49 耶稣还在说话的时候，有人从会堂主管家里来，说：“你的女儿死了，不必再劳动老师了。” 50 耶稣听见就对他说：“不要怕，只要信，她必得痊愈。” 51 到了那家，除了彼得、约翰、雅各和女孩的父母以外，他不准任何人同他进屋里去。 52 众人都在为女孩痛哭哀号，他说：“不要哭！她不是死了，而是睡着了。” 53 他们明知女孩已经死了，就嘲笑他。 54 他进去拉着女孩的手，叫她说：“孩子，起来！” 55 她的灵魂回来了，她就立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。 56 她父母非常惊奇。耶稣嘱咐他们不要把他所作的事告诉人。
差遣十二使徒(N)
9 耶稣召齐十二门徒，给他们能力、权柄，制伏一切鬼魔，医治各样的疾病， 2 差遣他们去宣讲 神的国和医治病人， 3 对他们说：“不要带着甚么上路，不要带手杖，不要带口袋，不要带食物，不要带银钱，也不要带两件衣服。 4 无论进哪一家，就住在那里，直到离开。 5 凡不接待你们的，你们离开那城的时候，当把脚上的灰尘跺下去，作为反对他们的表示。” 6 于是他们就出去，走遍各乡，传讲福音，到处医治病人。
希律的困惑(O)
7 分封王希律听见所发生的一切事，犹豫不定，因为有人说：“约翰从死人中复活了。” 8 又有人说：“以利亚显现了。”还有人说：“古时的一位先知复活了。” 9 希律说：“约翰已经斩头了，但这是谁，我怎么会听到他这些事呢？”就设法要见他。
给五千人吃饱的神迹(P)
10 使徒们回来，把所作的事报告耶稣。他带着他们，悄悄地退往伯赛大城去。 11 群众知道了，也跟了去。他接待他们，向他们讲论 神的国，医好需要医治的人。 12 天将晚的时候，十二门徒来到他跟前，说：“请解散众人，好让他们往周围的田舍村庄，去找地方住，找东西吃，因为我们这里是旷野。” 13 他说：“你们给他们吃吧！”他们说：“我们所有的，不过是五个饼两条鱼，除非去为这些人另买食物。” 14 原来男人就约有五千。他对门徒说：“叫他们一组一组地坐下，每组约五十人。” 15 门徒就照他的话，叫众人坐下。 16 耶稣拿起这五个饼，两条鱼，望着天，祝谢了，擘开递给门徒，摆在众人面前。 17 他们都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。
彼得承认耶稣是基督(Q)
18 有一次耶稣独自祈祷的时候，只有门徒和他在一起。他问他们：“人说我是谁？” 19 他们回答：“有人说是施洗的约翰，有人说是以利亚，还有人说是古时的一位先知复活了。” 20 他又问他们：“你们说我是谁？”彼得回答：“是 神的基督！”
耶稣预言受难及复活(R)
21 耶稣警告他们，嘱咐他们，不要把这事告诉人。 22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长，和经学家弃绝、杀害，第三日复活。”
23 耶稣又对众人说：“如果有人愿意跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。 24 凡是想救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；但为我牺牲自己生命的，必救了生命。 25 人若赚得全世界，却丧失自己，或赔上自己，有甚么好处呢？ 26 凡是把我和我的道当作可耻的，人子在自己与父并圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候，也必把他当作可耻的。 27 我实在告诉你们，站在这里的，有人在没有尝过死味以前必定要看见 神的国。”
在山上改变形象(S)
28 说了这些话以后约有八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各，上山去祷告。 29 正祷告的时候，他的面貌就改变了，衣服洁白发光。 30 忽然有两个人和他谈话，就是摩西和以利亚。 31 他们在荣光里显现，谈论他去世的事，就是他在耶路撒冷将要完成的。 32 彼得和同伴都在打盹。醒过来之后，就看见他的荣光，并与他站在一起的那两个人。 33 二人正要离开他的时候，彼得对耶稣说：“主啊，我们在这里真好！我们可以搭三个帐棚，一个为你，一个为摩西，一个为以利亚。”他根本不知道自己在说甚么。 34 他说这话的时候，有一片云彩笼罩他们，他们入了云彩，门徒就害怕起来。 35 有声音从云彩里出来，说：“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的（“这是我的儿子，我所拣选的”有些抄本作“这是我的爱子”），你们要听从他！” 36 声音过了，只见耶稣独自在那里。在那些日子，门徒保持缄默，不把所看见的告诉任何人。
治好癫痫病的小孩(T)
37 第二天，他们下了山，有一大群人迎面而来。 38 在人群中有一个人喊叫说：“老师，求你怜悯我的儿子，因为他是我的独生子。 39 你看，污灵一抓住他，他就忽然喊叫，并且抽疯，口吐白沫；污灵又折磨糟践他，不肯放过他。 40 我求过你的门徒，把他赶出去，他们却办不到。” 41 耶稣说：“唉！这不信又乖谬的世代啊！我跟你们在一起，忍受你们，要到几时呢？把你儿子带到这里来吧！” 42 那孩子正走过来的时候，污鬼把他摔倒，使他重重地抽疯。耶稣斥责那污灵，把孩子医好，交给他父亲。 43 众人都惊奇 神的大能。
第二次预言受难及复活(U)
众人还在希奇耶稣所作的这一切时，他对门徒说： 44 “你们要把这些话存在心里：人子将要被交在人的手里。” 45 门徒不明白这话，因为这话的意思是隐藏的，不让他们明白，他们也不敢问。
门徒争论谁最大(V)
46 后来，门徒起了意见，争论谁是最大的。 47 耶稣看出他们的心意，就领了一个小孩子来，叫他站在自己旁边， 48 对他们说：“凡因我的名接待这小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，就是接待那差我来的。谁是你们中间最小的，那人就是最大的。” 49 约翰说：“主，我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼，就禁止他，因为他不和我们一起跟从你。” 50 耶稣说：“不要禁止他，因为不反对你们的，就是赞成你们的。”
撒玛利亚人不接待主
51 耶稣被接上升的日子快到了，他就决意向耶路撒冷去， 52 并且差遣使者走在前头；他们去了，进入撒玛利亚的一个村庄，要为他预备。 53 那里的人不接待他，因为他面向着耶路撒冷走。 54 他的门徒雅各、约翰看见了，就说：“主啊，你要我们吩咐火从天降下来，烧灭他们吗？” 55 耶稣就转过身来，责备他们， 56 然后他们就往别的村庄去了。
要求跟从耶稣(W)
57 他们走路的时候，有一个人对他说：“你无论往哪里去，我都要跟从你！” 58 耶稣说：“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有栖身的地方。” 59 他对另一个人说：“你跟从我吧！”那人说：“主啊，请准我先回去安葬我的父亲吧。” 60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人，你应该去传扬 神的国。” 61 又有一个人说：“主，我要跟从你，但容我先回去，向家人道别。” 62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的，不适合进 神的国。”
Luke 7-9
King James Version
7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 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.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 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:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 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.
9 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.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 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.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 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?
20 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?
21 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.
22 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.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 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?
25 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.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 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.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 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.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 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!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 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.
37 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,
38 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.
39 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.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 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.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 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.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
8 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,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 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.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 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.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 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.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 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.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 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.
23 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.
24 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.
25 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.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 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.
28 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.
29 (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.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 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.
33 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.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 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.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 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.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 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.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 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 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 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?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 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.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 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.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 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.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
