Matthew Chapter 5:1

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

Matthew Chapter 5:2

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Matthew Chapter 5:3

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:4

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew Chapter 5:5

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew Chapter 5:6

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew Chapter 5:7

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew Chapter 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Matthew Chapter 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Matthew Chapter 5:10

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:11

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Matthew Chapter 5:12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew Chapter 5:13

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Matthew Chapter 5:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matthew Chapter 5:15

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Matthew Chapter 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:17

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew Chapter 5:18

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew Chapter 5:19

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:20

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 5:21

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Matthew Chapter 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Matthew Chapter 5:23

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew Chapter 5:24

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew Chapter 5:25

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Matthew Chapter 5:26

Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Matthew Chapter 5:27

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew Chapter 5:28

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew Chapter 5:29

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew Chapter 5:30

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew Chapter 5:31

It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Matthew Chapter 5:32

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 divorced committeth adultery.

Matthew Chapter 5:33

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

Matthew Chapter 5:34

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Matthew Chapter 5:35

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Matthew Chapter 5:36

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Matthew Chapter 5:37

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Matthew Chapter 5:38

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Matthew Chapter 5:39

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew Chapter 5:40

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Matthew Chapter 5:41

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Matthew Chapter 5:42

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Matthew Chapter 5:43

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Matthew Chapter 5:44

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 despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matthew Chapter 5:45

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.

Matthew Chapter 5:46

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Matthew Chapter 5:47

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Matthew Chapter 5:48

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew Chapter 6:1

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 6:2

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:3

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Matthew Chapter 6:4

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Matthew Chapter 6:8

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew Chapter 6:9

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew Chapter 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 6:11

Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew Chapter 6:12

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Matthew Chapter 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew Chapter 6:14

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew Chapter 6:15

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew Chapter 6:16

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:17

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

Matthew Chapter 6:18

That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:19

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew Chapter 6:20

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew Chapter 6:21

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

Matthew Chapter 6:22

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Matthew Chapter 6:23

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Matthew Chapter 6:24

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.

Matthew Chapter 6:25

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?

Matthew Chapter 6:26

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?

Matthew Chapter 6:27

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

Matthew Chapter 6:28

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew Chapter 6:29

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Matthew Chapter 6:30

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Matthew Chapter 6:31

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew Chapter 6:32

For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Matthew Chapter 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew Chapter 6:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew Chapter 7:1

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Matthew Chapter 7:2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew Chapter 7:3

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matthew Chapter 7:4

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Matthew Chapter 7:5

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Matthew Chapter 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew Chapter 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Matthew Chapter 7:8

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew Chapter 7:9

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Matthew Chapter 7:10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Matthew Chapter 7:11

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew Chapter 7:12

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew Chapter 7:13

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew Chapter 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew Chapter 7:15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew Chapter 7:16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Matthew Chapter 7:17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Matthew Chapter 7:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew Chapter 7:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew Chapter 7:20

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew Chapter 7:21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 7:22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew Chapter 7:23

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew Chapter 7:24

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew Chapter 7:25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Matthew Chapter 7:26

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Matthew Chapter 7:27

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew Chapter 7:28

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Matthew Chapter 7:29

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew Chapter 8:1

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

Matthew Chapter 8:2

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Matthew Chapter 8:3

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew Chapter 8:4

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Matthew Chapter 8:5

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

Matthew Chapter 8:6

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

Matthew Chapter 8:7

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

Matthew Chapter 8:8

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

Matthew Chapter 8:9

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Matthew Chapter 8:10

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Matthew Chapter 8:11

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew Chapter 8:12

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 8:13

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matthew Chapter 8:14

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

Matthew Chapter 8:15

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

Matthew Chapter 8:16

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

Matthew Chapter 8:17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Matthew Chapter 8:18

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

Matthew Chapter 8:19

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Matthew Chapter 8:20

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Matthew Chapter 8:21

And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Matthew Chapter 8:22

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Matthew Chapter 8:23

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

Matthew Chapter 8:24

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

Matthew Chapter 8:25

And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

Matthew Chapter 8:26

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Matthew Chapter 8:27

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Matthew Chapter 8:28

And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Matthew Chapter 8:29

And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Matthew Chapter 8:30

And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

Matthew Chapter 8:31

So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

Matthew Chapter 8:32

And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Matthew Chapter 8:33

And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

Matthew Chapter 8:34

And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Matthew Chapter 9:1

And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

Matthew Chapter 9:2

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Matthew Chapter 9:3

And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

Matthew Chapter 9:4

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Matthew Chapter 9:5

For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Matthew Chapter 9:6

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

Matthew Chapter 9:7

And he arose, and departed to his house.

Matthew Chapter 9:8

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Matthew Chapter 9:9

And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Matthew Chapter 9:10

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

Matthew Chapter 9:11

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Matthew Chapter 9:12

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Matthew Chapter 9:13

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Matthew Chapter 9:14

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

Matthew Chapter 9:15

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

Matthew Chapter 9:16

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Matthew Chapter 9:17

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Matthew Chapter 9:18

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Matthew Chapter 9:19

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

Matthew Chapter 9:20

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

Matthew Chapter 9:21

For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

Matthew Chapter 9:22

But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Matthew Chapter 9:23

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

Matthew Chapter 9:24

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

Matthew Chapter 9:25

But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

Matthew Chapter 9:26

And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

Matthew Chapter 9:27

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

Matthew Chapter 9:28

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matthew Chapter 9:29

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Matthew Chapter 9:30

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

Matthew Chapter 9:31

But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

Matthew Chapter 9:32

As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

Matthew Chapter 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

Matthew Chapter 9:34

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

Matthew Chapter 9:35

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Matthew Chapter 9:36

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

Matthew Chapter 9:37

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Matthew Chapter 9:38

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Matthew Chapter 10:1

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Matthew Chapter 10:2

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Matthew Chapter 10:3

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

Matthew Chapter 10:4

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Matthew Chapter 10:5

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Matthew Chapter 10:6

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew Chapter 10:7

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew Chapter 10:8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Matthew Chapter 10:9

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

Matthew Chapter 10:10

Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

Matthew Chapter 10:11

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

Matthew Chapter 10:12

And when ye come into an house, salute it.

Matthew Chapter 10:13

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Matthew Chapter 10:14

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:15

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Matthew Chapter 10:17

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

Matthew Chapter 10:18

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

Matthew Chapter 10:19

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:20

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Matthew Chapter 10:21

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew Chapter 10:23

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:24

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

Matthew Chapter 10:25

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?

Matthew Chapter 10:26

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Matthew Chapter 10:27

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Matthew Chapter 10:28

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:29

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Matthew Chapter 10:30

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Matthew Chapter 10:31

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Matthew Chapter 10:32

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 10:33

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 10:34

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Matthew Chapter 10:35

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:36

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Matthew Chapter 10:37

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.

Matthew Chapter 10:38

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Matthew Chapter 10:39

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Matthew Chapter 10:40

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Matthew Chapter 10:41

He that receiveth 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.

Matthew Chapter 10:42

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 wise lose his reward.

Matthew Chapter 11:1

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

Matthew Chapter 11:2

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

Matthew Chapter 11:3

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Matthew Chapter 11:4

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

Matthew Chapter 11:5

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Matthew Chapter 11:6

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Matthew Chapter 11:7

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Matthew Chapter 11:8

But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Matthew Chapter 11:9

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Matthew Chapter 11:10

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Matthew Chapter 11:11

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matthew Chapter 11:12

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew Chapter 11:13

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

Matthew Chapter 11:14

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Matthew Chapter 11:15

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew Chapter 11:16

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

Matthew Chapter 11:17

And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

Matthew Chapter 11:18

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

Matthew Chapter 11:19

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Matthew Chapter 11:20

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

Matthew Chapter 11:21

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

Matthew Chapter 11:22

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

Matthew Chapter 11:23

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Matthew Chapter 11:24

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Matthew Chapter 11:25

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Matthew Chapter 11:26

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Matthew Chapter 11:27

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Matthew Chapter 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew Chapter 11:29

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew Chapter 11:30

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew Chapter 12:1

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

Matthew Chapter 12:2

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

Matthew Chapter 12:3

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

Matthew Chapter 12:4

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

Matthew Chapter 12:5

Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

Matthew Chapter 12:6

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Matthew Chapter 12:7

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Matthew Chapter 12:8

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Matthew Chapter 12:9

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

Matthew Chapter 12:10

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Matthew Chapter 12:11

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Matthew Chapter 12:12

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

Matthew Chapter 12:13

Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Matthew Chapter 12:14

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Matthew Chapter 12:15

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Matthew Chapter 12:16

And charged them that they should not make him known:

Matthew Chapter 12:17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

Matthew Chapter 12:18

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

Matthew Chapter 12:19

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Matthew Chapter 12:20

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

Matthew Chapter 12:21

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Matthew Chapter 12:22

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Matthew Chapter 12:23

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

Matthew Chapter 12:24

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Matthew Chapter 12:25

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Matthew Chapter 12:26

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Matthew Chapter 12:27

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Matthew Chapter 12:28

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Matthew Chapter 12:29

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Matthew Chapter 12:30

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Matthew Chapter 12:31

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Matthew Chapter 12:32

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Matthew Chapter 12:33

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Matthew Chapter 12:34

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew Chapter 12:35

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Matthew Chapter 12:36

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Matthew Chapter 12:37

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Matthew Chapter 12:38

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

Matthew Chapter 12:39

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Matthew Chapter 12:40

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew Chapter 12:41

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

Matthew Chapter 12:42

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Matthew Chapter 12:43

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Matthew Chapter 12:44

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Matthew Chapter 12:45

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Matthew Chapter 12:46

While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Matthew Chapter 12:47

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

Matthew Chapter 12:48

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Matthew Chapter 12:49

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Matthew Chapter 12:50

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Matthew Chapter 13:1

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

Matthew Chapter 13:2

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Matthew Chapter 13:3

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Matthew Chapter 13:4

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Matthew Chapter 13:5

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Matthew Chapter 13:6

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

Matthew Chapter 13:7

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

Matthew Chapter 13:8

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Matthew Chapter 13:9

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew Chapter 13:10

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Matthew Chapter 13:11

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Matthew Chapter 13:12

For whosoever 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.

Matthew Chapter 13:13

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Matthew Chapter 13:14

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:

Matthew Chapter 13:15

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.

Matthew Chapter 13:16

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Matthew Chapter 13:17

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.

Matthew Chapter 13:18

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Matthew Chapter 13:19

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Matthew Chapter 13:20

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Matthew Chapter 13:21

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.

Matthew Chapter 13:22

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Matthew Chapter 13:23

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew Chapter 13:24

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Matthew Chapter 13:25

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Matthew Chapter 13:26

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Matthew Chapter 13:27

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?

Matthew Chapter 13:28

He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Matthew Chapter 13:29

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Matthew Chapter 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest 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.

Matthew Chapter 13:31

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Matthew Chapter 13:32

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.

Matthew Chapter 13:33

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Matthew Chapter 13:34

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

Matthew Chapter 13:35

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Matthew Chapter 13:36

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Matthew Chapter 13:37

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Matthew Chapter 13:38

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Matthew Chapter 13:39

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Matthew Chapter 13:40

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Matthew Chapter 13:41

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;

Matthew Chapter 13:42

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 13:43

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew Chapter 13:44

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.

Matthew Chapter 13:45

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

Matthew Chapter 13:46

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Matthew Chapter 13:47

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Matthew Chapter 13:48

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Matthew Chapter 13:49

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Matthew Chapter 13:50

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 13:51

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matthew Chapter 13:52

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Matthew Chapter 13:53

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

Matthew Chapter 13:54

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Matthew Chapter 13:55

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Matthew Chapter 13:56

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Matthew Chapter 13:57

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Matthew Chapter 13:58

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Matthew Chapter 26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

John Chapter 2:1

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

John Chapter 2:2

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

John Chapter 2:3

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

John Chapter 2:4

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

John Chapter 2:5

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

John Chapter 2:6

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

John Chapter 2:7

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

John Chapter 2:8

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

John Chapter 2:9

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

John Chapter 2:10

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

John Chapter 2:11

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

John Chapter 2:12

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

John Chapter 2:13

And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

John Chapter 2:14

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

John Chapter 2:15

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

John Chapter 2:16

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

John Chapter 2:17

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

John Chapter 2:18

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

John Chapter 2:19

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

John Chapter 2:20

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

John Chapter 2:21

But he spake of the temple of his body.

John Chapter 2:22

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

John Chapter 2:23

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

John Chapter 2:24

But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

John Chapter 2:25

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

John Chapter 3:1

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

John Chapter 3:2

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

John Chapter 3:3

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John Chapter 3:4

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

John Chapter 3:5

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John Chapter 3:6

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John Chapter 3:7

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

John Chapter 3:8

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.

John Chapter 3:9

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

John Chapter 3:10

Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

John Chapter 3:11

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
