Luke 4
[1] And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
[2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat
nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. [3] And the devil
said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be
made bread.
[4] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word of God. [5] And the devil, taking him up
into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time. [6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give
thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it.
[7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. [8] And Jesus
answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
[9] And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the
temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down
from hence:
[10] For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
[11] And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash
thy foot against a stone.
[12] And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.
[13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him
for a season.
[14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there
went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [15] And he
taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. [16] And he came to
Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went
into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
[17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, [18]
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year
of the Lord. [20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him.
[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears.
[22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which
proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? [23]
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician,
heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in
thy country.
[24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
[25] But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of
Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great
famine was throughout all the land; [26] But unto none of them was Elias
sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
[27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and
none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. [28] And all they in
the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
[29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow
of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down
headlong.
[30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way, [31] And came
down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
[32] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
[33] And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean
devil, and cried out with a loud voice, [34] Saying, Let us alone; what
have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy
us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
[35] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and
hurt him not.
[36] And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a
word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean
spirits, and they come out.
[37] And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
[38] And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And
Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him
for her.
[39] And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and
immediately she arose and ministered unto them. [40] Now when the sun was
setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto
him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
[41] And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for
they knew that he was Christ.
[42] And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the
people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not
depart from them.
[43] And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other
cities also: for therefore am I sent.
[44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

Luke 5
[1] And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the
word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, [2] And saw two ships
standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were
washing their nets. [3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was
Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
[4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the
deep, and let down your nets for a draught. [5] And Simon answering said
unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [6] And when they had
this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
[7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship,
that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the
ships, so that they began to sink.
[8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart
from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. [9] For he was astonished, and all
that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
[10] And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth
thou shalt catch men.
[11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and
followed him.
[12] And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full
of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. [13] And he put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the
leprosy departed from him. [14] And he charged him to tell no man: but go,
and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as
Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
[15] But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
infirmities.
[16] And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. [17] And it
came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were
Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every
town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was
present to heal them.
[18] And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy:
and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. [19] And
when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling
with his couch into the midst before Jesus. [20] And when he saw their
faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
[21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this
which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? [22] But
when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What
reason ye in your hearts?
[23] Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise
up and walk?
[24] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to
forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise,
and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. [25] And immediately he
rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his
own house, glorifying God. [26] And they were all amazed, and they
glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange
things to day. [27] And after these things he went forth, and saw a
publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto
him, Follow me. [28] And he left all, rose up, and followed him. [29] And
Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company
of publicans and of others that sat down with them. [30] But their scribes
and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and
drink with publicans and sinners? [31] And Jesus answering said unto them,
They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
[32] I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. [33] And
they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make
prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and
drink?
[34] And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? [35] But the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in
those days. [36] And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a
piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh
a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the
old. [37] And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine
will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [38]
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. [39] No
man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The
old is better.

Luke 6
[1] And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went
through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and
did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
[2] And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is
not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
[3] And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what
David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; [4]
How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and
gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for
the priests alone?
[5] And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
[6] And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the
synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
[7] And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the
sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. [8] But he
knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise
up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. [9] Then
said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath
days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? [10] And
looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy
hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. [11] And
they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they
might do to Jesus.
[12] And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to
pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. [13] And when it was day,
he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he
named apostles; [14] Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his
brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
[15] Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
[16] And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
[17] And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of
his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and
Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear
him, and to be healed of their diseases; [18] And they that were vexed with
unclean spirits: and they were healed. [19] And the whole multitude sought
to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
[20] And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye
poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. [21] Blessed are ye that hunger now:
for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
[22] Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate
you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as
evil, for the Son of man's sake.
[23] Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is
great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the
prophets. [24] But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
consolation. [25] Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto
you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. [26] Woe unto you, when
all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false
prophets.
[27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them
which hate you,
[28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
[29] And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;
and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. [30]
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again.
[31] And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise. [32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also love those that love them.
[33] And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye?
for sinners also do even the same.
[34] And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?
for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [35] But love
ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your
reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he
is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [36] Be ye therefore merciful,
as your Father also is merciful. [37] Judge not, and ye shall not be
judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall
be forgiven: [38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into
your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again. [39] And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind
lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
[40] The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect
shall be as his master.
[41] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [42] Either how canst
thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine
eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then
shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
[43] For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [44] For every tree is known by his
own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush
gather they grapes. [45] A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure
of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaketh.
[46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
[47] Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will
shew you to whom he is like:
[48] He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
[49] But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a
foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
