The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And they brought the colte to Iesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sate vpon him.

And many spred their garments in the way: other cut downe branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

And they that went before, and they that folowed, cryed, saying, Hosanna: blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord.

Blessed be the kingdome that commeth in the Name of the Lord of our father Dauid: Hosanna, O thou which art in the highest heauens.

So Iesus entred into Hierusalem, and into the Temple: and when he had looked about on all things, and now it was euening, he went forth vnto Bethania with the twelue.

And on the morowe when they were come out from Bethania, he was hungry.

And seeing a fig tree afarre off, that had leaues, he went to see if he might finde any thing thereon: but when he came vnto it, hee found nothing but leaues: for the time of figges was not yet.

Then Iesus answered, and sayd to it, Neuer man eate fruite of thee hereafter while the world standeth: and his disciples heard it.

And they came to Hierusalem, and Iesus went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrewe the tables of the money changers, and the seates of them that solde doues.

Neither would hee suffer that any man should cary a vessell through the Temple.

And he taught, saying vnto them, Is it not written, Mine house shalbe called the house of prayer vnto all nations? but you haue made it a denne of theeues.

And the Scribes and hie Priestes heard it, and sought howe to destroy him: for they feared him, because the whole multitude was astonied at his doctrine.

But when euen was come, Iesus went out of the citie.

And in the morning as they iourneyed together, they saw the figge tree dried vp from the rootes.

Then Peter remembred, and said vnto him, Master, beholde, the figge tree which thou cursedst, is withered.

And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Haue the faith of God.

For verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer shall say vnto this mountaine, Be thou taken away, and cast into the sea, and shall not wauer in his heart, but shall beleeue that those things which he saieth, shall come to passe, whatsoeuer he saieth, shall be done to him.

Therefore I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye desire when ye pray, beleeue that ye shall haue it, and it shalbe done vnto you.

But when ye shall stand, and pray, forgiue, if ye haue any thing against any man, that your Father also which is in heauen, may forgiue you your trespasses.

For if you will not forgiue, your Father which is in heauen, will not pardon you your trespasses.

Then they came againe to Hierusalem: and as he walked in the Temple, there came to him ye hie Priestes, and the Scribes, and the Elders,

And said vnto him, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie, that thou shouldest doe these things?

Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, I will also aske of you a certaine thing, and answere ye me, and I will tell you by what authoritie I do these things.

The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men? answere me.

And they thought with themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then did ye not beleeue him?

But if we say, Of men, we feare the people: for all men counted Iohn, that he was a Prophet in deede.

Then they answered, and saide vnto Iesus, We cannot tell. And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Neither will I tell you by what authoritie I doe these things.

And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.

And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.

But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.

And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.

Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.

But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.

So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.

Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.

This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.

Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.

And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.

And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?

Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.

So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.

Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.

Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,

Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.

There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.

Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:

So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.

In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.

Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?

For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.

And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?

God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.

Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?

Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.

Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.

And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.

Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he,

And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.

And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?

For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.

Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets,

And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes,

Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.

And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.

And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.

Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie.

For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.

And as he went out of the Temple, one of his disciples said vnto him, Master, see what maner stones, and what maner buildings are here.

Then Iesus answered and saide vnto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe.

And as he sate on the mount of Oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly,

Tell vs, when shall these things be? and what shalbe the signe when all these things shalbe fulfilled?

And Iesus answered them, and began to say, Take heede lest any man deceiue you.

For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many.

Furthermore when ye shall heare, of warres, and rumours of warres, be ye not troubled: for such things must needes be: but the end shall not be yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, and there shalbe earthquakes in diuers quarters, and there shalbe famine and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorowes.

But take ye heede to your selues: for they shall deliuer you vp to the Councils, and to the Synagogues: ye shalbe beaten, and brought before rulers and Kings for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them.

And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.

But when they leade you, and deliuer you vp, be not carefull before hand, neither studie what ye shall say: but what is giuen you at the same time, that speake: for it is not ye that speake, but the holy Ghost.

Yea, and the brother shall deliuer the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but whosoeuer shall endure vnto the end, he shalbe saued.

Moreouer, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set where it ought not, (let him that readeth, consider it) then let them that be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines,

And let him that is vpon the house, not come downe into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch any thing out of his house.

And let him that is in the fielde, not turne backe againe to take his garment.

Then wo shalbe to the that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.

Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter.

For those dayes shalbe such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of ye creation which God created vnto this time, neither shalbe.

And except that the Lord had shortened those dayes, no flesh shoulde be saued: but for the elects sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes.

Then if any man say to you, Loe, here is Christ, or, lo, he is there, beleeue it not.

For false Christes shall rise, and false prophets, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceiue if it were possible the very elect.

But take ye heede: beholde, I haue shewed you all things before.

Moreouer in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and ye moone shall not giue her light,

And the starres of heauen shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shall shake.

And then shall they see the Sonne of man comming in ye cloudes, with great power and glory.

And he shall then send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the foure windes, and from the vtmost part of the earth to the vtmost part of heauen.

Nowe learne a parable of the figge tree. When her bough is yet tender, and it bringeth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere.

So in like maner, when ye see these things come to passe, knowe that the kingdom of God is neere, euen at the doores.
