And it came to pass when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. c 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. 16 And others tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. t 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 27 ¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. b 28 But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. f 29 T And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. w 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon ;and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. g 32 The men of Nineveh shall 20 But if I with the finger of God rise up in the judgment with this cast out devils, no doubt the king-generation, and shall condemn it : dom of God is come upon you. for they repented at the preaching i 21 When a strong man armed of Jonas; and behold, a greater keepeth his palace, his goods are than Jonas is here. in peace: d 33 No man when he hath light 34 The light of the body is the 22 But when a stronger than ed a candle, putteth it in a secret he shall come upon him, and over-place, neither under a bushel, but come him, he taketh from him all on a candlestick, that they which his armour wherein he trusted, and come in may see the light. divideth his spoils. t 23 He that is not with me is eye therefore when thine eye is against me: and he that gathereth single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. not with me scattereth. 35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not dark i 24 When the unclean spirit is 36 If thy whole body therefore for they indeed killed them, and be full of light, having no part dark, ye build their sepulchres. the whole shall be full of light; as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. f37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him and he went in and sat down to meat. 38. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. t 40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also? d 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean unto you. w 42 But wo unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. w 43 Wo unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. w 44 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 45 T Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also. 49 Therefore also said the wis dom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute : 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which pe rished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation, w 52 Wo unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in your. selves, and them that were enter ing in ye hindered. c 53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehe, mently, and to provoke him to speak of many things; 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. TN the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. t 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore, whatsoever ye have w 46 And he said, Wo unto you spoken in darkness, shall be heard also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men in the light; and that which ye have with burdens grievous to be borne, spoken in the ear in closets, shall be and ye yourselves touch not the proclaimed upon the house-tops. burdens with one of your fin- d 4 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the w 47 Wo unto you! for ye build body, and after that, have no more the sepulchres of the prophets, and that they can do. your fathers killed them. gers. 48 Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: d 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid 6 Are not five sparrows sold for up for many years; take thine two farthings, and not one of them ease, eat, drink, and be merry. is forgotten before God? 20 But God said unto him, Thou t7 But even the very hairs of fool, this night thy soul shall be your head are all numbered.

How much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow? They toil not, they spin not: and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? d 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that yo have need of these things. d 31 T But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. 6 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. a 33 Sell that ye have, and give | eat and drink, and to be drunken; alms provide yourselves bags w 46 The lord of that servant will which wax not old, a treasure in come in a day when he looketh the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. d 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; not for him, and at an hour when 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; 48 But he that knew not, and did that, when he cometh and knock-commit things worthy of stripes, eth, they may open unto him im- shall be beaten with few stripes. mediately.
