The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.

And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.

Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.

Then said he to his disciples, It can not be auoided, but that offences will come, but wo be to him by whome they come.

It is better for him that a great milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into ye sea, then that he should offende one of these litle ones.

Take heede to your selues: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him: and if hee repent, forgiue him.

And though he sinne against thee seuen times in a day, and seuen times in a day turne againe to thee, saying, It repenteth mee, thou shalt forgiue him.

And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you.

Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table?

And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou?

Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not.

So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe.

And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile.

And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off.

And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs.

And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed.

Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God,

And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan.

And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine?

There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger.

And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee.

And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation.

Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you.

And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it.

Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them.

For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne of man be in his day.

But first must he suffer many things, and be reprooued of this generation.

And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man.

They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built.

But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all.

After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled.

At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.

Whosoeuer will seeke to saue his soule, shall loose it: and whosoeuer shall loose it, shall get it life.

I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe left.

Two women shalbe grinding together: the one shalbe taken, and the other shalbe left.

Two shalbe in the fielde: one shalbe receiued, and another shalbe left.

And they answered, and saide to him, Where, Lord? And he said vnto them, Wheresoeuer the body is, thither shall also the eagles bee gathered together.

And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,

Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.

And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.

And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,

Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.

And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.

Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?

I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?

He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.

Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.

The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.

I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.

But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.

I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.

They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.

But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.

Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.

Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life?

And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue 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 witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.

And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.

Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.

But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.

And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!

Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?

And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.

Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.

And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,

Which shall not receiue much more in this world, and in the world to come life euerlasting.

Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.

For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.

And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.

But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.

And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.

And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.

And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.

Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.

And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.

And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,

Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.

And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.

Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.

Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,

Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.

And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.

Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.

And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.

Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.

And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.

And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.

Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.

For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.

And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.

He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.

And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.

Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.

And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.

Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.

And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
