'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom,' — Col, 3,16.

' A LL Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
_[\ is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correc
tion, for instruction in righteousness ; ' — but -with a pe
culiar love and adoration do Christ's people cling to
the sacred utterances which have fallen from their
Saviour's own lips.
He who is both God and man, — who is the ' Author
and Finisher of our Faith,' who ' speaketh the words
of God, for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto
Him,' who is our Redeemer and present Helper, —
speaks to the believer's heart with a personal, direct,
living, and life-giving power.
The present gathering together of the very words of
our Lord Jesus Christ, will, it is hoped, be of use to
many, and especially to invalids ; to those who have
but little time to spare ; to those who are tossed to and
fro by the conflicting opinions and doctrines of men.
And may not some who are keeping aloof from Christian
privileges, be willing to 'come and see' what Jesus
Himself hath said ?

Preface.
It has been considered best to adhere to the Authorized
Version of 1611 ; but, wherever the Revised Version of
1 88 1 has thrown a distinctly fresh or stronger light on
any passage, it has been quoted in the margin.
'With regard to those passages which are recorded
in terms almost identical by more than one Evangelist,
the fullest rendering has been selected.
As an aid to memory and reference, an effort has
been made to group together those short, detached pas
sages which bear on the same subject ; and, as far as
possible, each subject has been set forth on a separate
page. December, 1881.

L. 4. 23, 'VT'E will surely say unto me this proverb. Physician,
JL heal thyself : whatsoever we have heard done in Ca
pernaum, do also here in thy country. Verily I say unto
you. No prophet is accepted, in his own country. 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 ; but unto none of them was Elias sent, save
unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a
widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of
Eliseus the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed,
saving Naaman the Syrian.
M. 13. 57. A PROPHET is not without honour, save in his own
country, and in his own house.
L.4, 43. I MUST preach the Kingdom of God to other cities
also : for therefore am I sent.

fishers of men.

Come and see.
43. Follow me.
47- Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile ! Before
that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree,
50. I saw thee. Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under
the fig tree, believest thou ? thou shalt see greater things
51. than these. Verily, verily, I say unto you, hereafter ye
shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending
and descending upon the Son of man.
L.g. 58. Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests ; but
the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

¦\ rERI LY, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be bom J. 3. 3.
• again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born 5-
of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the king
dom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that
which is bom of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I
said unto thee. Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest
the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth : so is every one that is born of the
Spirit. Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these 10.
things ?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do
know, and testify that we have seen ; and ye receive not
our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly
things ? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but
he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man
which is in heaven.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up : that whoso
ever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal
life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his
Son into the world to ^ condemn the world ; but that the
world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not "^ condemned : but he
that believeth not °is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son
of God.
< judgment And this is the * condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth
evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his
deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh
to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God.

soever drinketh of this water shall thirst again : but who
soever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall
never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
"6. Go, call thy husband, and come hither. Thou hast
well said, I have no husband : for thou hast had five
husbands ; and he whom thou now hast is not thy
21. husband : in that saidst thou truly. Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain,
nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship
ye know not what : we know what we worship : for sal
vation is of the Jews.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit : and they that worship him must wor

IAM the light of the world : he that followeth me shall J. 8. 12.
not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true : 14.
for I know whence I came, and whither I go ; but ye
cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge
after the flesh ; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my
judgment is true : for I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent me.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two
men is true.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father
that sent me beareth witness of me.
Ye neither know me, nor my Father : if ye had known 19-
me, ye should have known my Father also. I go my 21.
way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins :
whither I go, ye cannot come.
Ye are from beneath ; I am from above : ye are of this =3.
world ; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins : for if ye believe not
that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
I have many things to say and to judge of you : but he
that sent me is true ; and I speak to the world those
things which I have heard of him.
When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye 28.
know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself ; but
as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And
he that sent me is with me : the Father hath not left me
alone ; for I do always those things that please him.
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples 31-
indeed ; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.

anil Sabiour Sesus Christ.

J, 8. 34. T T'ERILY, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth
• sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not
in the house for ever : but the Son abideth ever. If the
Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed ; but ye seek to kill
me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak
that which I have seen with my Father : and ye do that
which ye hav€ seen with your father. If ye were
Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham,
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God : this did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father.
If God were your Father, ye would love me : for I
proceeded forth and came from God ; neither came I of
myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my
speech .' even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father -^ ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, ' .¦' 's yo"'
and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in ™" '° ^°'
him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own :
for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell
you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you ^ con- ^ convicteth
vinceth me of sin ? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me 'i He that is of God heareth God's words : ye
therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
49. I have not a devil ; but I honour my Father, and ye
do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory : there
is one that seeketh and judgeth.
SI. Verily, verily, I say unto you. If a man keep my ' say- = '"'¦¦d
ing, he shall never see death.
54. If I honour myself, my honour is nothing : it is my
Father that honoureth me ; of whom ye say, that he is
your God : yet ye have not known him ; but I know
him : and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a
liar Uke unto you : but I know him, and keep his saying.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day : and he
saw it, and was glad.
58. Verily, verily, I say unto you. Before Abraham was,
I am.

Y Father worketh hitherto, and I work. J. 5. i7'

Verily, verily, I say unto you. The Son can do nothing
of himself, but what he seeth the Father do : for what
things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all
things that himself doeth : and he will shew him greater
works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father
raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them ; even so the
Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son :
that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour
the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth
not the Father which hath sent him.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my
word, and beUeveth on him that sent me, hath everlasting
1 judgment life, and shall not come into ^condemnation ; but is passed
from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you. The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God : and they that hear shall live. For as the Father
hath life in himself ; so hath he given to the Son to have
life in himself ; and hath given him authority to execute
judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel
not at this : for the hour is coming, in the which all that are
in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth ;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life ;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
2 judgment ^ damnation. I can of mine own self do nothing : as I hear,- 1
' righteous judge : and my judgment is 'just ; because I seek not
mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent
me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
There is another that beareth witness of me ; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye
sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him :
for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not
follow, but will flee from him : for they know not the
voice of strangers.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the 7.
sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers : but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to

they might have it more abundantly. I am the good

own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth : and the wolf catcheth

because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am
known of mine. * As the Father knoweth me, even so i Even as
know I the Father : and I lay down my life for the
sheep. And ojher sheep I have, which are not of this
fold : them also I must bring, and they shall hear my
voice ; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down
my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it
from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to
lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.
"B- I told you, and ye believed not : the works that I do
in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye
believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand.

and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's

Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any 10. s-

lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And as ye go, preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Heal the, sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils : freely ye have received, freely
give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses, nor -^ scrip for your journey, neither two coats, nei
ther shoes, nor yet staves : for the workman is worthy of
his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
enquire who in it is worthy ; and there abide till ye go
thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And
if the house be worthy, let your peace come upog it : but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And
whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words,
when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the
dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you. It shall be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day
of judgment, than for that city.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless
as doves. But beware of men : for they will deliver you
up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their
synagogues ; and ye shall be brought before governors
and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and
the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up, 'take no thought how or
what ye shall speak : for it shall be given you in that
same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that
speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in
you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death,
and the father the child : and the children shall rise up
against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake :
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But
when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another :
for verily I say unto you. Ye shall not have gone over the
cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant
above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be
as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have
called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more
shall they call them of his household .'' Fear them not
therefore : for there is nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed ; and hid, that shall not be"known.
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light :
and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the
housetops. . And fear not them which kill the body, but
are not able to kill the soul : but rather fear him which is
able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing ? and one of them shall not
fall on the ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him
will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth : I
came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to
set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her
mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his
own household. He that loveth father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me : and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he
that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not
worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it : and
he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that re
ceiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiv
eth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a
prophet's reward ; and he that receiveth a righteous man
in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto
one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no

Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an

if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought against thee ; leave there thy
gift before the altar, and go thy way ; first be reconciled
to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree
with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way

thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee. Thou

the uttermost farthing.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time.
Thou shalt not commit adultery : but I say unto you. That
whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath com
mitted adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy
right eye ' offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee : ' causeth
for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should lf^^^°^

hell. And if thy right hand '¦' offend thee, cut it off, and 2 causeth

thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell.
It hath been said. Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement.
But I say unto you. That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery : and whosoever shall marry her that is

God's throne : nor by the earth ; for it is his foot
stool : neither by Jerusalem ; for it is the city of the
great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head,
because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your communication be. Yea, yea ; Nay, nay ;
for whatsover is more than these cometh of evil.
Ye have heard that it hath been said. An eye for an

ye resist not evil : but whosover shall smite thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any
man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat,
let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall
compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to
him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not thou away.
Ye have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say
unto you. Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefuUy use you, and persecute you ; that
ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven : for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and
on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what re*
ward have ye ? do not even the publicans the same ?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
than others ? do not even the publicans so ?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is

as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil : For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where

where thieves do not break through nor steal : for where

No man can serve two masters : for either he will hate
the one, and love the other ; or else he will hold to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon. Therefore I say unto you, 'Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment ? Behold the
fowls of the air : for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than they ? Which of
you ^ by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature ? And why *take ye thought for raiment ? Con
sider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not,
neither do they spin : and yet I say unto you. That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither

BEHOLD, a sower went forth to sow ; and when he M, 13, 3.
sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up : some fell upon stony
places, where they had not much earth : and forthwith
they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth :
and when the sun was up, they were scorched ; and
because they had no root, they withered away. And
some fell among thorns ; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them : but other fell into good ground, and
brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold,
some thirtyfold.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the n,
kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For who
soever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance : but whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them
in parables : because they seeing see not ; and hearing
they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them
is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith. By hearing
ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; and seeing ye
shall see, and shall not perceive : for this people's heart
is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and
their eyes they have closed ; lest at any time they should
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted,
and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see : and your ears,
for they hear. For verily I say unto you. That many
prophets and righteous men have desired to see those
things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to
hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them. 34

is he which received seed by the way side. But he that
received the seed into stony places, the same is he
that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it ;
yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while :
for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the
word, ^by and by he is offended. He also that received ' straight-
seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word ; and Jumbieth
the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he
that heareth the word, and understandeth it ; which also

'T'HE kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which M. 13, 33.

till the whole was leavened.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard 31-
seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field : which
indeed is the least of all seeds : but when it is grown, it
is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so
that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches
thereof. So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed Mk,4,26,
into the ground ; and should sleep, and rise night and
day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth
not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself ;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the
ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he
putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which M. 13, 24.
sowed good seed in his field : but while men slept, his
enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and
went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the
servants of the householder came and said unto him. Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field ? from whence
then hath it tares ? He said unto them. An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then
that we go and gather them up? But he said. Nay;
lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them.
_ Let both grow together until the harvest : and in the
time of haj-vest I will say to the reapers. Gather ye
together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn
them : but gather the wheat into my barn.

the wicked one ; the enemy that sowed them is the
devil ; the harvest is the end of the world ; and the
reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire ; so shall it be in the end
of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his
angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all
things that ^ offend, and them which do iniquity ; and |.,^^y|^
shall cast them into a furnace of fire : there shall be "^ """ '"^
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let
him hear.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid
in a field ; the which when a man hath found, he hideth,
and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and
buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant
man, seeking goodly pearls : who, when he had found
one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had,
and bought it.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that
was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind : which,
when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the world : the angels shall
come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had,

down, and worshipped him, saying. Lord, have patience

servant was moved vi'ith compassion, and loosed him, and
forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him an
hundred pence : and he laid hands on him, and took him
by the throat, saying. Pay me that thou owest. And his
fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, say
ing. Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And
he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw
what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told
unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after
that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked
servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou de-
siredst me.
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy

was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he

And by chance there came down a certain priest that
way : and when he saw him, he passed by on the other

where he was : and when he saw him, he had compassion
on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And
on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host, and said unto him. Take care
of him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I

Go, and do thou likewise.
When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy

A CERTAIN man had two sons : and the younger of L. 15. n,
them said to his father. Father, give me the portion
of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them
his living. And not many days after the younger son
gathered all together, and took his joumey into a far
country, and there wasted his substance with riotous
living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty
famine in that land ; and he began to be in want. And
he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country ;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he
would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the
swine did eat : and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said. How many
hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to
spare, and I perish with hunger !
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him.
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
and am no more worthy to be called thy son : make me
as one of thy hired servants.
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he
was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had com
passion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
And the son said unto him.
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight,
and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
But the father said to his servants. Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on his hand, and
shoes on his feet : and bring hither the fatted calf, and
kill it ; and let us eat, and be merry :
For this my son was dead, and is alive again ; he was
lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Now
his elder son was in the field : and as he came and drew
nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And
he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
meant. And he said unto him. Thy brother is come ; and
thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath
received him safe and sound. 56

yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry
with my friends : but as soon as this thy son was come,
which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast
killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him.
Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad :
for this thy brother was dead, and is ahve again ; and
was lost, and is found.
4- What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose
one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the
wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find
it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his should
ers, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth
together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them.
Rejoice with me ; for I have foqnd my sheep which was
lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and
nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she

piece which I had lost.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence
of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend,
yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him

^ neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, lo there ! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of
the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And
they shall say to you. See here ; or, see there : go not
after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that
lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto the other part under heaven ; so shall also the Son
of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many
things, and be rejected of this generation.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also
in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they
drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ; they did
eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted,
they builded ; but the same day that Lot went out of
Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of
man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon
1 goods the housetop, and his ' stuff in the house, let him not
come down to take it away : and he that is in the field,
let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it ; and
whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you,
in that night there shall be two men in one bed ; the one
shall -be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women
shall be grinding together ; the one shall be taken, and

that when he was returned, having received the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants to be called unto him,
to whom he had given the money, that he might know
how much every man had gained by trading. Then came
the first, saying. Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him. Well, thou good servant : because
thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority
over ten cities. And the second came, saying. Lord, thy
pound hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to
him. Be thou also over five cities. And another came,
saying. Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept
laid up in a napkin : for I feared thee, because thou art an
austere man : thou takest up that thou layedst not down,
and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him. Out of thine own mouth will I
judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I
was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and
reaping that I did not sow : wherefore then gavest not
thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might
have required mine own with " usury ? And he said unto

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more ;

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me : and he that loveth me shall be
loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will mani
fest myself to him. If a man love me, he will keep my 23,

unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth
me not keepeth not my sayings : and the word which ye

things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, what
soever I have said unto you.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you : not
as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and
come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice,
because I said, I go unto the Father : for my Father is
greater than I. And now I have told you before it come
to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Hereafter I will not talk much with you : for'the prince
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that
the world may know that I love the Father ; and as the
Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let
us go hence.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered ; and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit ;
so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved
me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. If ye
keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love ;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and
abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might
be full.
This is my commandment. That ye love one another,
as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you. Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have called you
friends ; for all things that I have heard of my Father
I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain : that whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it
hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love
his own : but because ye are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord. If they have perse
cuted me, they will also persecute you ; if they have kept
my saying, they will keep your's also. But all these
things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send

and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you.
That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall

sorrow, because her hour is come : but as soon as she is
delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the

And ye now therefore have sorrow : but I will see you

nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you. Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : ask, and

when I shall no fnore speak unto you in proverbs, but
I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day
ye shall ask in my name : and I say not unto you, that
I will pray the Father for you : for the Father himself
loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the
