went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 323 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in king's houses. 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. ND he said unto them, 324. 9 But what went ye 1A Verily I say unto you, out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 325. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 326. 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 327. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 328. 13 For all the pro That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. 2 ¶ And after six_days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves and he was transfigured before them. 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in the 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 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 40 T Many of the people said unto them, Go your therefore, when they heard way, and tell John what this saying, said, Of a truth things ye have seen and this is the Prophet. 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. 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 24 T And when the messengers of John were de parted, 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 42 Hath not the Scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him. 44 And some of them phets and the law prophesied until John. 329. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 330. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 331. 16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 332. 17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 333. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 334. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of Publicans and sinners. and said to 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. 6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. 10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes that Elias must first come? for to see? A prophet? Yea, say unto you, and much more than a prophet. would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 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. 45 Then came the officers to the Chief Priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are 31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this genera-cursed. tion? 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 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) But wisdom is justified of her children. 335. 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 336. 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 337. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 338. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 339. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 340.25 T At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. 13 But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. 14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked the Scribes, What question ye with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath |
