Bible  Reading for October 21

Matthew 23
[1] Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, [2] Saying, The
scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: [3] All therefore whatsoever they
bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they
say, and do not. [4] For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and
lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of
their fingers.
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their
phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, [6] And love the
uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. [8]
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are
brethren.
[9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which
is in heaven.
[10] Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. [11]
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. [12] And whosoever
shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted.
[13] But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer
ye them that are entering to go in. [14] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
[15] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and
land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the
child of hell than yourselves.
[16] Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the
temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he
is a debtor!
[17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that
sanctifieth the gold?
[18] And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever
sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. [19] Ye fools and blind:
for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
[20] Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all
things thereon.
[21] And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that
dwelleth therein.
[22] And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by
him that sitteth thereon.
[23] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint
and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law,
judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the
other undone.
[24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. [25] Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of
the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and
platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. [27] Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness. [28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the
tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, [30] And
say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been
partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. [31] Wherefore ye be
witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the
prophets.
[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. [33] Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
[34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes:
and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge
in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: [35] That upon you
may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew
between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say unto you, All these things
shall come upon this generation.
[37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would
not!
[38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye
shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord.

Matthew 24
[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to
him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left
here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [4] And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are
the beginning of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall
hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. [12] And
because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. [13] But he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [14] And this gospel
of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come. [15] When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: [17] Let him
which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before. [26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not. [27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [28]
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the
sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of
a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from
one end of heaven to the other.
[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when ye
shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [36]
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my
Father only.
[37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be.
[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark,
[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be. [40] Then shall two be in the field; the one
shall be taken, and the other left.
[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
[42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But
know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief
would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be
broken up.
[44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh.
[45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
[47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
[48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming;
[49] And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of, [51] And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25
[1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. [2] And five of them were
wise, and five were foolish. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and
took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their
lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And
at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to
meet him.
[7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish
said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
[9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and
you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while
they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with
him to the marriage: and the door was shut. [11] Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12] But he answered and said, Verily
I say unto you, I know you not. [13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the
day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
[14] For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who
called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. [15] And unto one
he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man
according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
[16] Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same,
and made them other five talents. [17] And likewise he that had received two,
he also gained other two. [18] But he that had received one went and digged in
the earth, and hid his lord's money.
[19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them.
[20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five
talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more. [21] His lord said unto him, Well done,
thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[22] He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside
them.
[23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter
thou into the joy of thy lord. [24] Then he which had received the one talent
came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou
hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: [25] And I was
afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is
thine.
[26] His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not
strawed:
[27] Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then
at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. [28] Take therefore
the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[29] For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
[30] And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
[31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with
him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall
be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on
his right hand, but the goats on the left.
[34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world:
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I
was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? [40] And the
King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] For
I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no
drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not:
sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. [44] Then shall they also answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or
naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. [46] And these
shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
