The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.

Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.

Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.

And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.

Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.

Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away,

That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.

Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade.

And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things,

Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.

For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.

Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.

And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.

But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare.

Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?

Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.

Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.

But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.

And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.

And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.

For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.

And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.

And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?

Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.

And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.

Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?

And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.

And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.

But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?

So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.

And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.

The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.

Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?

And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?

If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?

Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?

Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.

For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.

But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.

Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.

Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.

For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.

Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,

And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.

Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.

And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.

Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.

Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.

Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?

And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?

Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.

Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.

But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,

The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.

And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.

But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.

I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?

Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?

Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.

For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.

The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.

Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.

And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.

Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?

Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?

While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.

I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.

There were certaine men present at the same season, that shewed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Suppose ye, that these Galileans were greater sinners then al the other Galileans, because they haue suffered such things?

I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.

Or thinke you that those eighteene, vpon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slewe them, were sinners aboue all men that dwel in Hierusalem?

I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your liues, ye shall all likewise perish.

He spake also this parable, A certaine man had a figge tree planted in his vineyard: and he came and sought fruite thereon, and found none.

Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, this three yeeres haue I come and sought fruite of this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe: why keepeth it also the ground barren?

And he answered, and said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I digge round about it, and doung it.

And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe.

And he taught in one of ye Synagogues on the Sabbath day.

And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmitie eighteene yeeres, and was bowed together, and coulde not lift vp her selfe in any wise.

When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease.

And he laide his handes on her, and immediately she was made straight againe, and glorified God.

And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Iesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said vnto the people, There are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.

Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabbath day loose his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him away to the water?

And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, loe, eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?

And when he said these things, all his aduersaries were ashamed: but all the people reioyced at all the excellent things, that were done by him.

Then said he, What is the kingdome of God like? or whereto shall I compare it?

It is like a graine of mustard seede, which a man tooke and sowed in his garden, and it grewe, and waxed a great tree, and the foules of the heauen made nestes in the branches thereof.

And againe he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdome of God?

It is like leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three peckes of floure, till all was leauened.

And he went through all cities and townes, teaching, and iourneying towards Hierusalem.

Then saide one vnto him, Lord, are there fewe that shalbe saued? And he said vnto them,

Striue to enter in at the straite gate: for many, I say vnto you, will seeke to enter in, and shall not be able.

When the good man of the house is risen vp, and hath shut to the doore, and ye begin to stand without, and to knocke at the doore, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs, and he shall answere and say vnto you, I know you not whence ye are,

Then shall ye begin to say, We haue eaten and drunke in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streetes.

But he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquitie.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac, and Iacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdome of God, and your selues thrust out at doores.
