The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And as they came downe from the mountaine, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seene, saue when the Sonne of man were risen from the dead againe.

So they kept that matter to themselues, and demaunded one of another, what the rising from the dead againe should meane?

Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that Elias must first come?

And he answered, and said vnto them, Elias verely shall first come, and restore all things: and as it is written of the Sonne of man, hee must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

But I say vnto you, that Elias is come, (and they haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would) as it is written of him.

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes disputing with them.

And straightway all the people, when they behelde him, were amased, and ranne to him, and saluted him.

Then hee asked the Scribes, What dispute you among your selues?

And one of the companie answered, and said, Master, I haue brought my sonne vnto thee, which hath a dumme spirit:

And wheresoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not.

Then he answered him, and said, O faithlesse generation, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! Bring him vnto me.

So they brought him vnto him: and assoone as the spirit sawe him, hee tare him, and hee fell downe on the ground walowing and foming.

Then he asked his father, How long time is it since he hath bin thus? And he said, Of a childe.

And oft times he casteth him into the fire, and into the water to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, helpe vs, and haue compassion vpon vs.

And Iesus said vnto him, If thou canst beleeue it, al things are possible to him that beleeueth.

And straightway the father of the childe crying with teares, saide, Lord, I beleeue: helpe my vnbeliefe.

When Iesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the vncleane spirit, saying vnto him, Thou domme and deafe spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Then the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out, and he was as one dead, in so much that many said, He is dead.

But Iesus tooke his hande, and lift him vp, and he arose.

And when hee was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out?

And he saide vnto them, This kinde can by no other meanes come foorth, but by prayer and fasting.

And they departed thence, and went together through Galile, and hee would not that any should haue knowen it.

For he taught his disciples, and saide vnto them, The Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kill him, but after that he is killed, he shall rise againe the third day.

But they vnderstoode not that saying, and were afraide to aske him.

After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way?

And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest.

And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all.

And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them,

Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me.

Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.

But Iesus sayd, Forbid him not: for there is no man that can doe a miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me.

For whosoeuer is not against vs, is on our part.

And whosoeuer shall giue you a cup of water to drinke for my Names sake, because ye belong to Christ, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.

And whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones, that beleeue in me, it were better for him rather, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into the sea.

Wherefore, if thine hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, then hauing two hands, to goe into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,

Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

Likewise, if thy foote cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to go halt into life, then hauing two feete, to be cast into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,

Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out: it is better for thee to goe into the kingdome of God with one eye, then hauing two eyes, to be cast into hell fire,

Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

For euery man shalbe salted with fire: and euery sacrifice shalbe salted with salt.

And he arose from thence, and went into the coastes of Iudea by the farre side of Iordan, and the people resorted vnto him againe, and as he was wont, he taught them againe.

Then the Pharises came and asked him, if it were lawfull for a man to put away his wife, and tempted him.

And he answered, and sayde vnto them, What did Moses commaund you?

And they sayd, Moses suffered to write a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away.

Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, For the hardnesse of your heart he wrote this precept vnto you.

But at the beginning of the creation God made them male and female:

For this cause shall man leaue his father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife.

And they twaine shalbe one flesh: so that they are no more twaine, but one flesh.

Therefore, what God hath coupled together, let not man separate.

And in the house his disciples asked him againe of that matter.

And he sayd vnto them, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife and marrie another, committeth adulterie against her.

And if a woman put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adulterie.

Then they brought litle children to him, that he should touch them, and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

But when Iesus sawe it, he was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the litle children to come vnto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.

Verely I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall not receiue the kingdome of God as a litle childe, he shall not enter therein.

And he tooke them vp in his armes, and put his hands vpon them, and blessed them.

And when hee was gone out on the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I doe, that I may possesse eternall life?

Iesus sayde to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, euen God.

Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steale. Thou shalt not beare false witnesse. Thou shalt hurt no man. Honour thy father and mother.

Then he answered, and said to him, Master, all these things I haue obserued from my youth.

And Iesus looked vpon him, and loued him, and sayde vnto him, One thing is lacking vnto thee. Go and sell all that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, follow me, and take vp the crosse.

But hee was sad at that saying, and went away sorowfull: for he had great possessions.

And Iesus looked round about, and sayd vnto his disciples, Howe hardly doe they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!

And his disciples were afraide at his words. But Iesus answered againe, and sayd vnto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdome of God!

It is easier for a camel to goe through the eye of a needle, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

And they were much more astonied, saying with themselues, Who then can be saued?

But Iesus looked vpon them, and sayd, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Then Peter began to say vnto him, Loe, we haue forsaken all, and haue folowed thee.

Iesus answered, and sayd, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath forsaken house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake and the Gospels,

But he shall receiue an hundred folde, now at this present, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come, eternall life.

But many that are first, shall be last, and the last, first.

And they were in the way going vp to Hierusalem, and Iesus went before them and they were troubled, and as they followed, they were afraide, and Iesus tooke the twelue againe, and began to tell them what things should come vnto him,

Saying, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall be deliuered vnto the hie Priests, and to the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death, and shall deliuer him to the Gentiles.

And they shall mocke him, and scourge him, and spit vpon him, and kill him: but the third day he shall rise againe.

Then Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus came vnto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest doe for vs that we desire.

And he sayd vnto them, What would ye I should doe for you?

And they said to him, Graunt vnto vs, that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy glory.

But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye knowe not what ye aske. Can ye drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme that I shall be baptized with?

And they said vnto him, We can. But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme wherewith I shalbe baptized:

But to sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to giue, but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared.

And when the ten heard that, they began to disdaine at Iames and Iohn.

But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayd to them, Ye know that they which are princes among the Gentiles, haue domination ouer them, and they that be great among them, exercise authoritie ouer them.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, shall be your seruant.

And whosoeuer will be chiefe of you, shall be the seruant of all.

For euen the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the raunsome of many.

Then they came to Iericho: and as he went out of Iericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus the sonne of Timeus, a blinde man, sate by the wayes side, begging.

And when hee heard that it was Iesus of Nazareth, he began to crye, and to say, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me.

And many rebuked him, because he should holde his peace: but hee cryed much more, O Sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me.

Then Iesus stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they called the blind, saying vnto him, Be of good comfort: arise, he calleth thee.

So he threwe away his cloke, and rose, and came to Iesus.

And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And the blinde sayd vnto him, Lord, that I may receiue sight.

Then Iesus sayde vnto him, Goe thy way: thy fayth hath saued thee. And by and by, he receiued his sight, and folowed Iesus in the way.

And when they came neere to Hierusalem, to Bethphage and Bethania vnto the mount of Oliues, he sent forth two of his disciples,

And sayd vnto them, Goe your wayes into that towne that is ouer against you, and assoone as ye shall enter into it, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him.

And if any man say vnto you, Why doe ye this? Say that the Lord hath neede of him, and straightway he will send him hither.

And they went their way, and found a colt tyed by the doore without, in a place where two wayes met, and they loosed him.

Then certaine of them, that stoode there, sayd vnto them, What doe ye loosing the colt?

And they sayde vnto them, as Iesus had commanded them: So they let them goe.
