CHAPTER 12
Matthew 12:1
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 12:2
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 12:3
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 12:4
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 12:5
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 12:6
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Matthew 12:7
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,
ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Matthew 12:8
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. Matthew 12:9
9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: Matthew 12:10
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 12:11
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 12:12
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do
well on the sabbath days.
Matthew 12:13
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 12:14
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might
destroy him.
Matthew 12:15
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; Matthew 12:16
16 And charged them that they should not make him known: Matthew 12:17
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Matthew 12:18
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 12:19
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the
streets.
Matthew 12:20
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench,
till he send forth  judgment unto victory. Matthew 12:21
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Matthew 12:22
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
12:23
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Matthew 12:24
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 12:25
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 12:26
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then
his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them
out? therefore they shall be your judges. Matthew 12:28
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is
come unto you.
Matthew 12:29
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
12:30
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
Matthew 12:31
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 12:32
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 12:33
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
12:34
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 12:35
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
12:36
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 12:37
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.
Matthew 12:38
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master,
we would see a sign from thee. Matthew 12:39
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 12:40
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 12:41
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 12:42
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 12:43
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places,
seeking rest, and findeth none. Matthew 12:44
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 12:45
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 12:46
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood
without, desiring to speak with him. Matthew 12:47
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without,
desiring  to speak with thee. Matthew 12:48
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who
are my brethren?
Matthew 12:49
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my
mother and my brethren!
Matthew 12:50
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is
my brother, and sister, and mother. CHAPTER 13
Matthew 13:1
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. Matthew
13:2
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 13:3
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went
forth to sow;
Matthew 13:4
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up:
Matthew 13:5
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 13:6
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root,
they withered away.
Matthew 13:7
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Matthew 13:8
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Matthew 13:9
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13:10
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in
parables?
Matthew 13:11
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 13:12
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 13:13
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Matthew 13:14
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 13:15
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 13:16
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew 13:17
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 13:18
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Matthew 13:19
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 13:20
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 13:21
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 13:22
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 13:23
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 13:24
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 13:25
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and
went his way.
Matthew 13:26
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the
tares also.
Matthew 13:27
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 13:28
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 13:29
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30
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 13:31
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 13:32
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 13:33
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 13:34
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a
parable spake he not unto them:
Matthew 13:35
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 13:36
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 13:37
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man;
Matthew 13:38
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 13:39
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels. Matthew 13:40
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be
in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41
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 13:42
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43
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 13:44
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 13:45
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly
pearls:
Matthew 13:46
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he
had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:47
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea,
and gathered of every kind:
Matthew 13:48
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 13:49
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 13:50
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:51
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto
him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew 13:52
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 13:53
53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he
departed thence.
Matthew 13:54
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 13:55
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 13:56
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all
these things?
Matthew 13:57
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 13:58
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. CHAPTER 14
Matthew 14:1
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, Matthew 14:2
2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the
dead; and  therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. Matthew 14:3
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for
Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. Matthew 14:4
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. Matthew 14:5
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because
they counted him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before
them, and pleased Herod.
Matthew 14:7
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
Matthew 14:8
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John
Baptist's head in  a charger.
Matthew 14:9
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat
with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. Matthew 14:10
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. Matthew 14:11
11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she
brought it to her mother.
Matthew 14:12
12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and
told Jesus.
Matthew 14:13
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place
apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of
the cities.
Matthew 14:14
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and he healed their  sick. Matthew 14:15
15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert
place, and the time  is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go
into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. Matthew 14:16
16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. Matthew
14:17
17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. Matthew
14:18
18 He said, Bring them hither to me. Matthew 14:19
19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five
loaves, and the two fishes,  and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake,
and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew 14:20
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full.
Matthew 14:21
21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and
children.
Matthew 14:22
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to
go before him unto  the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. Matthew
14:23
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart
to pray: and when the evening was come, he was  there alone. Matthew 14:24
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the
wind was contrary.
Matthew 14:25
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the
sea.
Matthew 14:26
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled,
saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out  for fear. Matthew 14:27
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be
not afraid.
Matthew 14:28
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee
on the water.
Matthew 14:29
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked
on the water, to go to Jesus. Matthew 14:30
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink,
he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Matthew 14:31
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said
unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:32
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Matthew 14:33
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth
thou art the Son of God.
Matthew 14:34
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. Matthew
14:35
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all
that country round about, and brought  unto him all that were diseased; Matthew
14:36
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as
many as touched  were made perfectly whole. CHAPTER 15
Matthew 15:1
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew 15:2
