There are four of these Bibles. They are known as Bible versions. A brief account is given of how each version or trans- lation originated. An alphabetically arranged Gospel subject-index, which is incidentally a partial Gospel harmony, completes the book. The comparative Gospel here presented is intended for general reading and reference. The text used is that chosen by those respon- sible for the translation and revision as best expressing in English the meaning designed to be conveyed by the original manuscripts from which the translations were made. All marginal references, alternate readings, chapter index headings, and explanatory footnotes have been omitted as they often confuse the general reader by diverting his atten- tion from the plain text. The purpose of the book is to afford the, reader an opportunity to compare the translations that were made into English about three hun- dred years ago by Protestant and by Roman Catholic Bible scholars ; and also to compare the good work of the olden time with the recent English and American revisions that represent a high order of reverent, pains- taking modern scholarship applied to the sources of information and under methods of investigation now available. It should confirm the faith in the gospel story, as told in our venerable English Bible, to learn from such a comparison that all of these versions are in practical accord as to the important message they convey. Another purpose of the book is to make all Christians familiar with the text of the Gospel as it is given in the Protestant and in the Roman Catholic English Bibles, so that they may understand how little difference of importance there is between the Protestant and the Catholic Bible gospel stories. It is a hopeful fact and worthy to be held in remembrance that there are no differences that need cause any lack of unity in effort among Christians professing to serve the same Master. Frank J. Firth. Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa. BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH Bible Versions. The original manuscripts of the Old Testament in Hebrew and of the New Testament in Greek disappeared early in the present era, and not one of them now exists. Our Holy Bible of to-day has been compiled from the following sources of information : — 1. Copies made from the originals and in the same languages. These are known as manuscripts, and the earliest of them now available dates from about the third century. 2. Translations from the originals into other languages. These are known as versions. Some of the early versions are said to present portions of the Scriptures as they were about fifty years after the time of the apostles. 3. Bible quotations appearing in the writings, argumentative or otherwise, of clerical representatives of the early Christian churches. The Roman Catholic 'Church attaches importance to religious knowledge that is said to have been carefully passed by word of mouth from generation to generation and that is known as tradition. There are several thousands of the old writings — manuscripts, ver- sions, clerical correspondence, and papers — now available for use in the scholarly study of the Bible. From this mass of information of author- ity, it has been possible for reverent and painstaking Bible scholars to determine what best expresses in the English language of to-day the meaning of the original records. Brief reference will be herein made to the important English versions of dates prior to 161 1, but the serious purpose of this book is to present the text of the four versions of the Holy Bible in the English language now in use in the United States and that are known by the following titles : — The King James or Authorized Version of 161 1. The Enghsh Revised Version of 1881 (N.T.) and 1885 (O.T.). The American Standard Revised Version of 1901. The Douay Version of 1582 (Rheims, N.T.) and 1609-10 (Douai, O.T.). The three versions first named are used by Protestant Christians and the version last named by Roman Catholic Christians. English Versions prior to 161 1. Without attempting to refer here to the early fragmentary translations of portions of the Bible into the Anglo-Saxon or early English language, the first notable English Bible is found to have been that translated by John Wyclif, parish priest of Lutterworth. He is credited with having produced about 1382 the first complete version of the Bible in the English language. He was ex- communicated by the Roman Catholic Church, and the Council of that Church held at Constance forty years later caused his remains to be disinterred and burned. His translation, which was based on the Latin BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH 7 Vulgate of Jerome, was revised about six years after its completion. It antedated the discovery of the art of printing. He died in 1384. About one hundred and fifty years later (1526) came the celebrated English version by William Tyndale which has exercised a marked influence upon the text of all subsequent versions in the English lan- guage. In the preparation of this version the Hebrew and Greek manu- scripts then accessible were consulted. Driven by persecution from England, Tyndale took refuge in Worms and there completed the first copies of the New Testament printed in English. Of the Old Testa- ment he is said to have translated the Pentateuch, the Historical Books, and part of the Prophets. He met with a persistent persecution, a treacherous betrayal, and was strangled and burned at the stake on October 6, 1536. It was through lives of self-sacrifice and suffering, and deaths of martyrdom, that the English people received their early versions of the Holy Bible. Following the Tyndale Bible came other translations, all largely based on it. The Coverdale Bible was published in 1536; in 1537 the Matthews' (John Rogers') Bible, closely followed by a slightly modified edition known as Taverner's Bible. The Great Bible, pub- lished in April, 1539, was by Henry VIII " authorized to be used and frequented in every church in the kingdom " — the first authorized edi- tion of an English Bible. When King Henry was asked to authorize the use of this Bible he is said to have replied, " Well, but are there any heresies maintained thereby? " and on being assured there were not, said, " Then in God's name let it go forth among our people." About the commencement of the reign of the English Protestant queen, Elizabeth, the Puritan reformers returned from Geneva, bring- ing with them the popular Genevan Bible with its explanatory notes. These notes were influenced by the Puritan school of religious thought and were destined to lead to the replacement of this Bible by a new edition from which this cause of dissatisfaction would be eliminated. The dedication of the Genevan Bible is said to have been accepted by Queen Elizabeth. King James or Authorized Version (161 1 — Protestant). This remarkable version of the Bible, acceptable to Protestant Christendom for nearly three hundred years and still its book of authority, owes its existence, as stated in its opening pages, " To the most high and mighty Prince James, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, etc." The translators go on to say, " There are infinite arguments of this right christian and religious affection in Your Majesty; but none is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of accomplishing and publishing of this, which now with all humility we present unto Your Majesty." They then describe James as "the principal Mover and Author of the work." His kingdom included countries that were in their separate religious preferences respectively English Protestant, Scotch Puritan, and Irish and French Roman Catholic. 8 BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH In 1604 King James called a conference which was held at Hampton Court, and over which he presided, to consider a list of grievances complained of by the Puritans. Among the subjects considered was the unsatisfactory character of the Bible versions then in use. The King was decidedly opposed to the partisan and democratic character of the explanatory footnotes appearing in the Genevan Bible. To illus- trate the feeling of James, Exodus i: 17 has been quoted: " But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive." The Genevan note commented, " Their disobedience to the king was lawful though their dissembling was evil." King James feelingly said of this note, " It is false ; to dis- obey a king is not lawful ; such traitorous conceits should not go forth among the people." He decided that there should be a careful revision made and that the revised Bible should not contain any explanatory footnotes expressing opinions as to what was meant by particular words or sentences. This was an important and wise decision. The new Bible was intended to become, as it actually did become, a book for use by and acceptable to all Protestant Christians, regardless of what their special denomi- national preferences might be. The King selected fifty-four competent men including Puritans, Churchmen and other scholars impartial as to religious parties. Forty-seven of these men are said to have acted as a board or commission of revision, and provision was made for con- sultation by them with any and all other scholars learned in Bible his- tory and literature. The rules to govern the revision provided that the Bishops' Bible should be used as a basis and departed from only for clearly justifiable cause. The commission of revision was divided into six committees or companies, each to undertake designated portions of the work. Final decisions upon disputed points were made by the full board after care- ful consideration and study. All Bible literature then available in Greek, Hebrew and modern languages received painstaking considera- tion. This was not confined to Protestant sources, but Roman Catholic authorities including the Douay Version of the Holy Bible were also consulted. The result of all this patient care was the version of the Bible still dear to Protestant Christians and not likely to be easily replaced in the public esteem by revised editions, no matter how meritorious or badly needed they may be. The English Revised Version (1881, N.T.; 1885, O.T.— Protes- tant). The development of the English language since 161 1; the changes in the meanings of many words, certain words having fallen into disuse entirely ; the great advance in biblical learning and scholar- ship ; the discovery of many new documents of biblical interest, in- cluding manuscripts much older than any known to the revisers in 161 1, — all appeared to call for another revision, so that our Holy Bible should represent the latest, best and most exact religious scholar- ship and knowledge. In ord^r that it shall convey in the English lan- guage as nearly as may be the exact meaning of the inspired original, BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH 9 its text should present the carefully chosen language of the period and not be confined to that of nearly three centuries ago, which may have passed into entire disuse and would then be meaningless to those of this generation. As a result of action taken on February 10, 1870, by the Southern Convocation (Canterbury) of the Established Church of England, there assembled in Westminster Abbey, June 22, 1870, a body of learned men, clerical and lay, constituting the English New Testament Com- pany of revisers, having a total membership of twenty-seven. They represented widely different religious denominational preferences but were united in their desire to give to the world a correct and reliable English Bible. A similar company having a total membership of fifteen and representing eight religious denominations, was organized in America for consultation and cooperation. The origin of this American New Testament Company was as follows : The Rev. Philip Schaflf, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Sacred Literature in The Union Theological Seminary, New York, by invitation of the English New Testament Company " prepared a draft of rules for cooperation, and a list of names of biblical scholars who would probably best represent the dif- ferent denominations and literary institutions in this movement. The suggestions were submitted to the British Committee and substantially approved " (Introduction by Dr. Schaff to The Revision of the English Version of the New Testament, 1872). When the English Company had completed the first revision of a portion of the Bible, it was sent to the American Company for con- sideration and advice. When received again by the English Company there was a second revision and a return to America for a final review. Then it was again reviewed and often re-reviewed and even re-re- reviewed by the English Company before final adoption. On Novem- ber II, 1880, the English New Testament Company, at a special service in St. Martin-in-the-Fields, united in thanksgiving that their labors were completed and the revised New Testament an accomplished fact. The Old Testament companies of England (twenty-five members) and of America (eleven members), similarly organized and cooperating in their labors, completed their work in 1885, so that the Revised Bible, Old and New Testament, was ready for distribution on May 5, 1885. The English New Testament and Old Testament companies were separately organized bodies and did not meet or work together. The English companies were not able to concur in all of the preferences ex- pressed by the American companies and so when the English Revised Bible was published it included by agreement a statement of all of the non-concurred-in American preferences, in consideration of which the American companies bound themselves not to print or encourage the issue of any other revised Bible until after the expiration of fourteen years from the date of the publication of the English Revised Bible. The English companies disbanded in 1885. Dr. Schaff (1872) calls at- tention in the following language to the fact that the initiative in this re- vision did not originate with the English Church as a whole, but only 10 BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH with the Southern Convocation : " The Convocation of York, owing mainly to the influence of the excellent Archbishop Thomson, did not fall in with the movement, and is therefore not represented in the Com- mittee on Revision. But a favorable change is gradually taking place, and some of the most influential members of the Convocation, as Dean Howson, of Chester, are hearty supporters of revision." The American Standard Revised Version (1901 — Protestant). The American companies maintained their organization following 1885 and preserved their records. When the fourteen years had expired the survivors believed there was need for an American revision, not only because of the expressed preferences of the American companies as stated in the English Revision but also because of the advance in' scholarship since 1885 and the comments and suggestions called forth by the English Revision. They therefore decided to undertake the work of completing and publishing what is now known as the American Standard Revised Bible (1901) — the latest Bible contributed to Eng- lish-speaking Protestant Christianity. While maintaining their organ- ization their ranks were depleted by death and, as with few exceptions vacancies were not filled, the members remaining to edit the new revision when the time arrived for its publication were few in number. Of the New Testament Company there remained only three : the Rev. J. Henry Thayer, D.D., the Rev. Timothy Dwight, D.D., LL.D., and the Rev. Matthew Brown Riddle, D.D., LL.D. In a useful little book, The Story of the Revised Neiv Testainent, American Standard Edition, Reverend Matthew Brown Riddle. D.D., LL.D., at this date (1910) the last survivor of the original members of the New Testament Company of American revisers, makes this interest- ing statement: "As Professor Thayer had full records of the earlier meetings, often including the suggestions of individual members, even when not adopted by the Company, it was possible to make a review of all the work previously done ; and to base the new version upon the judgment of the entire Company as thus recorded. The three survivors really represented their co-laborers, and the results are in no sense merely the opinions of the trio that remained alive in 1897." Their arduous labors necessitated by the revision were performed gratuitously. The Douay Version (Rheims, N.T., 1582 ; Douai, O.T., 1609-10 — Roman Catholic). This version takes its name from Douai, depart- ment of Nord, France, where Roman Catholic divines from the Univer- sity of Oxford, England, established a college for the education of English youths, in connection with the University of Douai. The establishment of this university was authorized by a bull from Pope Paul IV, confirmed by Pius IV, January 6, 1560. It was inaugurated October 5, 1562, and its purpose was stated to be " the preservation of the purity of the Catholic Faith from the errors of the Reformation." The university thus established at Douai was removed to Rheims in 1578 and there a translation of the New Testament was made into English from the Latin Vulgate of Jerome. The New Testament was BIBLE VERSIONS IN ENGLISH 1 1 published at Rheims in 1582. The university was moved back to Douai in 1593, where the Old Testament was published in 1609-10. This completed what is known as the original Douay Bible. There are said to have been two revisions of the Douay Old Testament and eight of the Douay New Testament, representing such an extent of verbal alterations and modernized spelling that a Roman Catholic authority says, " The version now in use has been so seriously altered that it can be scarcely considered identical with that which first went by the name of the Douay Bible," and further that " it never had any episcopal imprimatur, much less any papal approbation." Dr. Richard Challoner, coadjutor to the Vicar Apostolic of London, in his revision of the Rheims and Douai text made so many changes that his work is said to have represented a practically new translation. He published several editions between 1750 and 1781, in which latter year he died in the ninetieth year of his age. The Catholic Encyclopedia says : Although the Bibles in use at the present day by the Catholics of England and Ireland are popularly styled the Douay Version, they are most improperly so called ; they are founded, with more or less alteration, on a series of revisions undertaken by Bishop Challoner in 1749-52. His object was to meet the practical want felt by the Catholics of his day of a Bible moderate in size and price, in readable English, and with notes more suitable to the time. . . . The changes introduced by him were so con- siderable that, according to Cardinal Newman, they " almost amounted to a new translation." So also, Cardinal Wiseman wrote, " To call it any longer the Douay or Rhemish Version is an abuse of terms. It has been altered and modified until scarcely any verse remains as it was originally published." The Douay or Roman Catholic Bible from which the Gospel text herein used has been taken, is said to be based upon the Clementine (Pope Clement VIII) Version which is now the standard of the Roman Catholic Church, and it bears the following approval by Cardinal Gibbons : " We hereby approve of the publication of the Catholic Bible, which is an accurate reprint of the Rheims and Douay edition with Dr. Challoner's notes. The sacred volume is printed in an attrac- tive style. •!« J. Card. Gibbons. Baltimore, Sept. i, 1899." Comment on Bible Versions. The law of Bible development appears to require that the individual work, which always comes first, shall be reviewed and revised, re-reviewed and re-revised as knowledge and standards of scholarship advance, the constant effort being to more nearly comprehend and rightly express the divine message to the gen- erations of men as they come and go. THE HOLY GOSPEL — COMPARATIVE TEXT EXPLANATORY NOTES Note i. The Authorized Version has been placed in the first column and made the basis of the Gospel subject-index because it is the oldest English Bible in general use by Protestant Christendom, and the dominant Christian faith of the United States, and among English speaking people generally, is Protestant. Christian Unity i7i Effort gives as the number of communicants and adherents in the important religious denominations in the United States, based upon a census estimate as of December 31, 1908, Protestant communicants 21,887,812 and adhe- rents 65,600,000 ; while the Catholic totals were 12,394,731 communicants and 14,600,000 adherents. Note 2. In the Douay Version the numbers of verses in several of the chapters differ from the numbers in the same chapters in the other versions ; for example, the Douay Version consolidates Matthew 17: 14, 15 of the other versions into Matthew 17: 14, making twenty-six verses in the Douay, there be- ing twenty-seven verses in each of the other versions. Note 3. The English and the American Revision companies respectively responsible for the English Revised and the American Standard Revised ver- sions, decided that the evidence before them required the omission of the fol- lowing verses which appear in the Authorized Version and in the Douay Ver- sion; namely, Matthew 17:21; 18: 11; 23: 14; Mark 7: 16; 9:44; 9:46; 11:26; 15: 28; Luke 17: 36; 23: 17; John 5:4. In addition to the omissions in the Holy Gospel as specifically noted, other similar omissions occur in the remaining books of the New Testament. Note 4.

CHAPTER 2. WHEN Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him. 3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. 5 But they said to him : In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet : 6' And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth 24 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 2. REVISED Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda : for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Is- rael. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child ; and when ye have found hhn, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed ; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they re- joiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and wor- shipped him : and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts ; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own coun- try another way. 13 And when they were departed, be- hold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise, and take "the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word : for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and de- parted into Egypt : 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying. Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was ex- ceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her chil- dren, and would not be comforted, be- cause they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold. 6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah : For out of thee shall come forth a governor. Which shall be shepherd of my people Israel. 7 Then Herod privily called the wise men, and learned of them carefully what time the star ap- peared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said. Go and search out carefully concerning the young child ; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. 9 And they, having heard the king, went their way ; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they re- joiced with exceeding great joy. II And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him ; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord ap- peareth to Joseph in a dream, say- ing, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee : for Herod will seek the young child tc destroy him. 14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; 15 and was there until the death of Herod : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, STANDARD ST. MATTHEW, 2.

Go and search out exactly concerning the young child ; and when ye have found hii)i, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. 9 And they, having heard the king, went their way ; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they re- joiced with exceeding great joy. II And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him ; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankin- cense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own coun- try another way. 13 Now when they were de- parted, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt ; 15 and was there until the death of Herod : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying. Out of Egypt did I call my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise- men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men. 17 Then tlie captain that shall rule my people Is- rael. 7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them ; 8 And sending them into Bethlehem, said : Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him. 9 Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. ID And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him ; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country. 13 And after they were departed, be- hold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying : Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt : and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. 14 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt : and he was there until the death of Herod : 15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry ; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, say- ing: 18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamen- tation and great mourning; Rachel be- ivailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt, 20 Saying : Arise, and take the child and 26 AUTHORIZED ST.

You cannot serve God and mammon. 25 Therefore I say to you, be not soli- citous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them.

It shall be more toler- able for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 But be- ware of men : for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you ; 18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, be not anx- ious how or what ye shall speak : for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speak- eth in you. 21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child : and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all 4 Simon the Cananean, and Judas Is- cariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent : command- ing them, saying : Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. 6 But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And going, preach, saying: The king- dom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils : freely have you received, freely give. 9 Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses : 10 Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff ; for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11 And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence. 12 And when you come into the house, salute it, saying : Peace be to this house. 13 And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words : going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Go- morrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. 17 But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. 18 And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gen- tiles : 19 But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak : for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak. 20 For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 21 The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death. 22 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall 58 AUTHORIZED ST.

Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see : 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. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilder- ness to see?

DOUAY 65 ever the Son willeth to reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. AT that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat. 2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him. Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath. 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him ; 4 how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them {hat were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? 6 But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath. 9 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue : 10 and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, say- ing. Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him. 11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12 How much then is a man of more value than a sheep ! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day. 13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth ; and it was restored whole, as the other. 14 But the Phari- sees went out. and took counsel against him, how they might de- stroy him. 15 And Jesus perceiving it with- 30 For my yoke is sweet and my bur- den light.

Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days. 13 Then he saith to the man : Stretch forth thy hand ; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other. 14 And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him. 15 But Jesus knowing it, retired from 66 AUTHORIZED ST.

Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said. This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 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 : 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself ; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out dev- ils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 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. 30 He that is not with me is against me ; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31 Wherefore I say unto you. All man- ner of sin and blasphemy shall be for- given unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be for- given unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be for- given him: but whosoever speaketh might destroy him. 15 And Jesus perceiving it withdrew from thence : and many followed him ; and he healed them all, 16 and charged them that they should not make him known : 17 that it might be ful- filled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 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 declare judgement to the Gentiles. 19 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud ; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgement unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gen- tiles hope. 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb : and he healed him, in- somuch that the dumb man spake and saw. 23 And all the multi- tudes were amazed, and said.

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 : 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. 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. 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. 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 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. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with him- self 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.

For by the fruit the tree is known. 34 O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things : and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be jus- tified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38 Then some of the scribes and Phari- sees answered him, saying : Master we would see a sign from thee. 39 Who answering said to them : An evil and adulterous generation seeketh _ a sign : and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 40 For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights : so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 41 The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas.

MATTHEW, 13. REVISED be given, and he shall have more abun- dance : but whosoever, hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in par- ables : because they seeing see not ; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 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 per- ceive : 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 un- derstand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 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 thein. 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 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. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places', the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it ; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while : for when tribula- tion or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the de- ceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 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 hun- dredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 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 : 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up. but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance : but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables ; because see- ing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they under- stand. 14 And unto them is ful- filled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith. By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive : 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hear- ing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes. And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart. And should turn again, And I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see ; and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and right- eous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. 18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 19 when any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understand- eth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straight- way with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while ; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word ; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that hear- STANDARD ST.

And their ears are dull of hear- ing. And their eyes they have closed ; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes. And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart. And should turn again, And I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see ; and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not ; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. 18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and un- derstandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in him- self, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily bear- mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given. 12 For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound : but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. 13 Therefore do I speak to them in parables : because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And the prophecy of Isaias is ful- filled in them, who saith : By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. 15 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. 17 For, amen, I say to you, many pro- phets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. 18 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catch- eth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. 20 And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time : and when there aris- eth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandal- ized. 22 And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. 23 But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundred- fold, and another sixty, and another thirty. 24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven 74 AUTHORIZED ST.

An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said. Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 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. 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 : 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. 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. 34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and without a parable spake he not unto them : 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. 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. 37 He answered and said unto them. He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man ; 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; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil ; the harvest is the end of the world ; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of eth the word, and understandeth it ; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred- fold, some sixty, some thirty. 24 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field : 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? 28 And he said unto them. An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him. Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he saith. Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow to- gether until the harvest : and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 31 Another parable set he before them, saying. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field : 32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. 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 it was all leavened. 34 All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes ; and without a parable spake he no- thing unto them: 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in para- bles; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. 36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house : and his disciples came unto him, saying, STANDARD ST.

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field : 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 And the ser- vants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? 28 And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this.

Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 And he an- swered and said, He that soweth is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while men were asleep, his en- emy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. 26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then ap- peared also the cockle. 27 And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him : Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle? 28 And he said to them : An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him : Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? 29 And he said : No, lest perhaps gath- ering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. 30 Suffer both to grow until the har- vest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers : Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. 31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. 32 Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. 33 Another parable he spoke to them : The kingdom of heaven is like to lea- ven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. 34 All these things Jesus spoke in par- ables to the multitudes : and without par- ables he did not speak to them. 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: / will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. 36 Then having sent away the multi- tudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. 37 Who made answer and said to them : He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man. 38 And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the chil- dren of the wicked one. 39 And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end 76 AUTHORIZED ST.

It is not law- ful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said. Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 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. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart : and when the people had heard thereof, 53 And it came to pass, when* Je- sus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 54 And coming 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? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?

They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said.

We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass ; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 And they all ate, and were filled : and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21 And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 22 And straightway he con- strained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 23 And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the moun- tain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. 24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves ; for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost ; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straight- way Jesus spake unto them,_ say- ing. Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter an- swered him and said. Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 29 And he said. Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 And when it was evening, his disci- ples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go : give you them to eat. 17 They answered him : We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said to them: Bring them hither to me. 19 And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disci- ples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments. 21 And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children. 22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his dis- ciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dis- missed the people. 23 And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone. 24 But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves : for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea. 26 And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear. 27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not. 28 And Peter making answer, said : Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters. 29 And he said : Come. And Peter go- ing down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid : and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying : Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretching 82 AUTHORIZED ST.

SS Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 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 ; 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. THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, "Why do ye also transgress the command- ment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying. Honour thy father and mother: and. He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother. It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.

Hear, and understand : 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man ; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Phari- wind, he was afraid ; and begin- ning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, where- fore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying. Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick; 36 and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.

For God said : 4 Honour thy father and mother: And : He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother.

MATTHEW, 15. REVISED sees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind lead- ers of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said. Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that what- soever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart ; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica- tions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 21 Then Jesus went thence, and de- parted into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David ; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying. Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying. Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said. It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said. Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many man. 12 Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone : they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. 15 And Peter answered and said unto him. Declare unto us the parable. 16 And he said. Are ye also even yet without understand- ing? 17 Perceive ye not, that what- soever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart ; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings : 20 these are the things which de- file the man: but to eat with un- washen hands defileth not the man. 21 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying. Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David ; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and be- sought him, saying. Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 But she came and worshipped him, saying. Lord, help me. 26 And he answered and said. It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. 27 But she said. Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' ta- ble. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. 29 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Gali- lee ; and he went up into the moun- tain, and sat there. 30 And there came unto him great multitudes, STANDARD ST. MATTHEW, 15.

And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. 15 And Peter answered and said unto him. Declare unto us the parable. 16 And he said. Are ye also even yet without under- standing? 17 Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart ; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, for- nications, thefts, false witness, rail- ings : 20 these are the things which defile the man ; but to eat with un- washen hands defileth not the man. 21 And Jestfs went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22. And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, say- ing, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and be- sought him, saying. Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 But she came and worshipped him, saying. Lord, help me. 26 And he answered and said. It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. 27 But she said. Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. 29 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. 30 And there came unto him great multi- tudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet ; and he healed them : sees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? 13 But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone : they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit. 15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable. 16 But he said : Are you also yet with- out understanding? 17 Do you not understand, that what- soever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man. 19 For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica- tions, thefts, false testimonies, blas- phemies. 20 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man. 21 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him : Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David : my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil. 23 Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us : 24 And he answering, said : I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel. 25 But she came and adored him, say- ing: Lord, help me. 26 Who answering, said : It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. 27 But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. 28 Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith : be it done to thee as thou wilt : and her daughter was cured from that hour. 29 And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there. 30 And there came to him great mul- titudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many 86 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 16. REVISED others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet ; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude won- dered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto htm, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and chil- dren. . 39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

REVISED the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among them- selves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why rea- son ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thou- sand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not under- stand that I spake it not to you concern- ing bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sad- ducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Csesarea Philippi, he asked his disci- ples, saying. Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him. Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee. That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven : and whatso- ever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many other side and forgot to take bread. 6 And Jesus said unto them.

Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they said. Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the pro- phets. 15 He saith unto them. But who say ye that I am? 16 And Si- mon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the liv- ing God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven : and whatso- ever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven : and what- soever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. 21 From that time began Je- sus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the el- ders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be STANDARD ST.

But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 12 Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Phari- sees and Sadducees. 13 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Cassarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying. Who do men say that the Son of man is? 14 And they said. Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus an- swered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. 21 From that time tegan Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suf- fer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22 And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be over the water, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Who said to them : Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread. 8 And Jesus knowing it, said : Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? 10 Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? 11 Why do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you : Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 12 Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the lea- ven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 13 And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi : and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? 14 But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? 16 Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona : be- cause flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter: and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatso- ever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven : and whatso- ever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. 20 Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. 90 AUTHORIZED ST.

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it : and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man ac- cording to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. 16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more : that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. 17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church.

Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, be- cause thou desiredst me: S3 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and deliv- ered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Fa- ther do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for forni- cation, and shall marry another, commit- teth adultery : and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All men can- not receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb : and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men : and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.

Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God : but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. . 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said. Thou shalt do no murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false wit- ness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother : and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him.

And the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said to them : Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such. 15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence. 16 And behold one came and said to him : Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? 17 Who said to him : Why askest thou me concerning good?

REVISED of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. , . ^ 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. ID But when the first came, they sup- posed that they should have received more ; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said. Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last : for many be called, but few chosen. 17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gen- tiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. 20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, wor- shipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21 And he said unto her. What wilt thou? She saith unto him. Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him. We are able. 23 And he saith unto them. Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be bap- tized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his stew- ard. Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they like- wise received every man a penny. 11 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, 12 saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat. 13 But he an- swered and said to one of them.

She saith unto him. Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said. Ye know not what ye ask.

He will mis- erably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husband- men, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner : this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The king- dom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, be- cause they took him for a prophet.

This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inherit- ance. 39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those hus- bandmen? 41 They say unto him. He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husband- men, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures.

They will reverence my son. 38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will mis- erably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall ren- der him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them.

The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good : and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment : 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how ckmest thou in hither not having a wed- ding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants. Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness ; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. 15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Mas- ter, we know that thou art true, and teach- est the way of God in truth, neither car- est thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore. What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Csesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wicked- ness, and said. Why tempt ye me, ye hyp- ocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money.

Behold, I have made ready my dinner : my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready : come to the marriage feast. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise: 6 and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then saith he to his ser- vants. The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. 10 And those ser- vants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good : and the wedding was filled with guests. II But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment : 12 and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding- garment?

Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one : for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore. What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the trib- ute money.

Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wick- edness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? 19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready : come ye to the marriage. 5 But they neglected, and went their ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise. 6 And the rest laid hands on his ser- vants, and having treated them contume- liously, put them to death. 7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city. 8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage. 10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good : and the mar- riage was filled with guests. 11 And the king went in to see the guests : and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. 12 A^d he saith to him : Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent. 13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. 15 Then the Pharisees going, con- sulted among themselves how to in- snare him in his speech. 16 And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man : for thou dost not regard the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Cae- sar, or not? 18 But Jesus knowing their wicked- ness, said : Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. 20 And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? 21 They say to him : Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Cs- Ii6 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 22. REVISED 21 They say unto him, Csesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cffisar the things which are Cse- sar's ; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 23 The same day came to him the Sad- ducees, which say that there is no resur- rection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren : and the first, when he had mar- ried a wife, deceased, and, having no is- sue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great com- mandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great com- mandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them. him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Csesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 23 'On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection : and they asked him, 24 saying. Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren : and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And after them all the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 But Jesus answered and said unto them. Ye do err, not knowing the scrip- tures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, say- ing, 32 I am the God of Abra- ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liv- ing. 33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. 34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Saddu- cees to silence, gathered themselves together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 And he said unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second like unto it is this. Thou shalt love thy neigh- bour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets. 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, STANDARD ST. MATTHEW, 22. DOUAY 117 21 They say unto him, Cajsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto C*sar the things that are Cssar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 .And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away. 23 On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection : and they asked him, 24 saying. Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren : and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his* wife unto his brother; 26 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And after them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, say- ing, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. 34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Saddu- cees to silence, gathered themselves together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, try- ing him : 36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second like imto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor aS thyself. 40 On these two com- mandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets. 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 say- sar the things that are Csesar's; and to God the things that are God's. 22 And hearing this they wondered, and leaving him, went their ways. 23 That day there came to him the Sad- ducees, who say there is no resurrection ; and asked him, 24 Saying : Master, Moses said : // a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up issue to his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven bre- thren: and the first having married a wife, died ; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother. 26 In like manner the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 At the resurrection therefore whose wife of the seven shall she be? for they all had her. 29 And Jesus answering, said to them : You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married ; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven. 31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you : 32 / am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine. 34 But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came to- gether: 35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him : 2,6 Master, which is the great com- mandment in the law? 37 Jesus said to him : Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 And the second is like to this : Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments de- pendeth the whole law and the prophets. 41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying: What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him: Da- vid's. 43 He saith to them : How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying: ii8 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 23. REVISED 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?

AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the peo- ple. 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came unto him a woman hav- ing an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying. To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them. Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you.

Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people. 6 Now when Jesus was in Beth- any, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when the dis- ciples saw it, they had indignation, saying. To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 But Jesus perceiv- ing it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. II For ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not al- ways. 12 For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to orepare me for burial. 13 Verily I say unto you.

Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people. 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious oint- ment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 But Jesus perceiving it said unto them. Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she poured this oint- ment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Verily I say unto you. Whereso- ever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 14 Then one of the twelve, who saying: Lord, when did we see thee hun- gry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minis- ter to thee? 45 Then he shall answer them, saying : Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. 46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment : but the just, into life ever- lasting. CHAPTER 26. AND it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples : 2 You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified : 3 Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas : 4 And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death. 5 But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tu- mult among the people. 6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table. 8 And the disciples seeing it, had in- dignation, saying : To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 And Jesus knowing it, said to them : Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. _ 11 For the poor you have always with you : but me you have not always. 12 For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial. 13 Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memory of her. 14 Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, 136 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 26. REVISED 15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and 1 will deliver him unto you ? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought op- portunity to betray him. 17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pass- over? 18 And he said. Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him. The Mas- ter saith. My time is at hand ; I will keep the passover at thy house with my dis- ciples. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them ; and they made ready the passover. 20 Now vs^hen the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 21 And as they did eat, he said. Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall be- tray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him.

Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 56 But all this was done, that the scrip- tures of the prophets might be fulfilled.

Hail, Rabbi ; and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come.

AND when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death. 2 And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the gov- ernor. 3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, see- ing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and an- cients, 4 Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said : What is that to us? look thou to it. 5 And casting down the pieces of silver 144 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 27. REVISED 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said. It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. 11 And Jesus stood before the gov- ernor: and the governor asked him, say- ing, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him. Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor mar- velled greatly. 15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a pris- oner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable pris- oner, called Barabbas. 17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them. Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barab- bas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19 When he was set down on the judg- ment seat, his wife sent unto him, Saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and elders per- suaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and _ said unto them. Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them. What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed ; and he went away and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the pieces of sil- ver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called. The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying. And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom cer- tain of the children of Israel did price ; 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord ap- pointed me. II Now Jesus stood before the governor : and the governor asked him, saying. Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him. Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he gave him no answer, not even to one word : insomuch that the gover- nor marvelled greatly. 15 Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one pri- soner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 When there- fore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Ba- rabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. 19 And while he was sitting on the judgement-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20' Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 But the gov- ernor answered and said unto them. Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all STANDARD ST. MATTHEW, 27. DOUAY 145 see thou to it. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed ; and he went away and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treas- ury, since it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying. And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price; 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord ap- pointed me. II Now Jesus stood before the governor : and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him. Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he gave him no answer, not even to one word : insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15 Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the mul- titude one prisoner, whom they would. 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them. Whom will ye that I release unto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. 19 And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man ; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 But the governor an- swered and said unto them. Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barab- in the temple, he departed : and went and hanged himself with an halter. 6 But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood. 7 And after they had consulted to- gether, they bought with them the pot- ter's field, to be a burying place for strangers. 8 For this cause that field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel. ID And they gave them unto the potter's Held, as the Lord appointed to me. 11 And Jesus stood before the gover- nor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him : Thou sayest it. 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing. 13 Then Pilate saith to him : Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee? 14 And he answered him to never a word ; so that the governor wondered ex- ceedingly. 15 Now upon the solemn day the gov- ernor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would. 16 And he had then a notorious pris- oner, that was called Barabbas. 17 They therefore being gathered to- gether, Pilate said : Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19 And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man ; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and make Jesu« away. 21 And the governor answering, said to them : Whether will you of the two to be released unto j-ou? But they said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith to them : What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all : Let him be crucified. 23 The governor said to them : Why, 146 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 27. REVISED evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 When Pilate saw that he could pre- vail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just per- son : see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said. His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand : and they bovved the knee before him, and mocked him, saying. Hail, King of the Jews ! 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe oflf from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall : and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they watched him there ; 27 And set up over his head his ac- cusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then were there two thieves cruci- fied with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying. Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests say. Let him be crucified. 23 And he said. Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceed- ingly, saying, Let him be crucified. 24 So when Pilate saw that he pre- vailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man : see ye to it. 25 And all the people answered and said. His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he unto them Barabbas : but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be cru- cified. 27 Then the soldiers of the gov- ernor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand ; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying. Hail, King of the Jews ! 30 And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they took oflf from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name : him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross. 33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say. The place of a skull, 34 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots : 36 and they sat and watched him there. 37 And they set up over his head his accusation written, this is JESUS THE KING OF THE JE\yS. 38 Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left. 39 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying.

His blood be on us, and on our children. 26 Then released he unto them Barabbas ; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand ; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30 And they spat upon hirn, and took the reed and smote him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name : him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross. ZZ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, 34 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall : and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots ; 36 and they sat and watched him there. 37 And they set up over his head his accusation written. This is Jesus the King of the Jews. 38 Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. 39 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, 40 and say- what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying : Let him be cruci- fied. 24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made ; taking water washed his hands be- fore the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it. 25 And the whole people answering, said : His blood be upon us and upon our children. 26 Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered to- gether unto him the whole band ; 28 And stripping him, they put a scar- let cloak about him. 29 And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews. 30 And spitting upon him, they took the reed, and struck his head. 31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put' on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross. 33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary. 34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink. 35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. 36 And they sat and watched him. 37 And they put over his head his cause written: This is Jesus the King OF the Jews. 38 Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left. 39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying: Vah, thou that de- stroyest the temple of God. and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 In like manner also the chief priests, 148 AUTHORIZED ST. MATTHEW, 27. REVISED mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which were cruci- fied with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ? that is to say. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent ; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 55 And many women were there be- holding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him : 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. 57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathsea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' dis- ciple : 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, cross. 41 In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel ; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43 He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said. This man calleth Elijah. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 And the rest said. Let be ; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him. 50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth did quake ; and the rocks were rent ; 52 and the tombs were opened ; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 54 Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth- quake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying.

He is risen from the dead : so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch : go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepul- chre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. CHAPTER 28.

For they said : He is become mad. 22 And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said : He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. 23 And after he had called them to- gether, he said to them in parables : How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against it- self, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end. 27 No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. 28 Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme : 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgive- ness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. 30 Because they said : He hath an un- clean spirit. 31 And his mother and his brethren came ; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him : Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And answering them, he said : Who is my mother and my brethren? 34 And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith : Behold my mother and my brethren. 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my Sister, and mother, CHAPTER 4- AND again he began to teach by the sea side ; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea ; i68 AUTHORIZED ST.

So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground ; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, be- cause the harvest is come. 30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 // is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth : 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches ; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable spake he not unto them : and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them. Let us pass over unto the other side. 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it; and bear fruit, thirty- fold, and sixtyfold, and a hundred- fold. 21 And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand? 22 For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested ; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. 23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them. Take heed what ye hear : with what measure ye mete it shall be meas- ured unto you: and more shall be given unto you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given : and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 26 And he said. So is the king- dom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth ; 27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. 28 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he put- teth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. 30 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, 32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it : 34 and without a parable spake he not unto them : but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. 35 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them.

Take heed what ye hear : with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you ; and more shall be given unto you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given : and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 26 And he said. So is the king- dom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; 27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. 28 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. 30 And he said. How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? 31 It is like a grain . of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, 32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches ; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it ; 34 and without a parable spake he not unto them : but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. 35 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless. 20 And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred. 21 And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a can- dlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given : and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him. 26 And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth, 27 And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not. 28 For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, after- wards the full corn in the ear. 29 And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, be- cause the harvest is come. 30 And he said : To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it? 31 It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth : 32 And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof. 33 And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear. 34 And without parable he did not speak unto them ; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples. 35 And he saith to them that day, when evening was come : Let us pass over to the other side. 36 And sending away the multitude, 172 AUTHORIZED ST.

And they said, Seven. 6 And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground : and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them ; and they set them before the multitude. 7 And they had a few small fishes : and having blessed them, he com- manded to set these also before them. 8 And they ate, and were filled : and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets. 9 And they were about four thousand : and he sent them away. 10 And straightway he en- tered into the boat with his dis- ciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

Who said: Seven. 6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disci- ples for to set before them ; and they set them before the people. 7 And they had a few little fishes ; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them. 8 And they did eat and were filled ; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away. * 10 And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 12 And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith : Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation. 13 And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water. 14 And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship. 15 And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned among them- selves, saying: Because we have no bread. 17 Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded? 18 Having eyes, see you not? and hav- ing ears, hear you not? neither do you remember. 19 When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up?

No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.

MARK, 12. REVISED 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Now there were seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed : and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed : last of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering said unto them. Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise : have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first com- mandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him. The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first command- ment. 31 And the second is like, namely this. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him. Well, Master, thou hast said the truth : for there is one God ; and there is none other but he : 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. sar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

If a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 There were seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed ; 21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him ; and the third likewise: 22 and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scrip- tures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but are as angels in heaven. 26 But as touch- ing the dead, that they are raised ; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the place concerning the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err. 28 And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning to- gether, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him. What commandment is the first of all? 29 Jesus answered, The first is.

And they marvelled greatly at him. 18 And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19 Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 There were seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed; 21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him ; and the third likewise : 22 and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scrip- tures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but are as angels in heaven. 26 But as touching the dead, that they are raised ; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in the place con- cerning the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I ant the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living : ye do greatly err. 28 And one of the scribes came, and heard them question- ing together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? 29 Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel ; The Lord our God, the Lord is one : 30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. 31 The second is this. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

And the third in like manner. 22 And the seven all took her in like manner ; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering, saith to them : Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in hea- ven. 26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: / am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err. 28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first com- mandment of all. 29 And Jesus answered him : The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said to him : Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him. 33 And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole under- standing, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength ; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. 34 And Jesus seeing that he had an- 2i6 AUTHORIZED ST.

And they murmured against her. 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good : but me ye have not always. 8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money.

Physician, heal thyself : whatso- ever we have heard done at Ca- pernaum, do also here in thine own country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you. No prophet is ac- ceptable in his own country. 25 But of a truth I say unto you. There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land ; 26 and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed, but only Na- aman the Syrian. 28 And they were all filled with wrath in the syna- gogue, as they heard these things ; 29 and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way. 31 And he came down to Ca- pernaum, a city of Galilee.

And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no heal thyself : as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. 24 And he said : Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Is- rael, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth. 26 And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. 27 And there were many lepers in Is- rael in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naa- man the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, hear- ing these things, were filled with anger. 29 And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them, went his way. 31 And he went down into Caphar- naum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine : for his speech was with power. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 Saying : Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?

The old is good. CHAPTER 6. AND it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields ; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them. Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what Da- vid did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him ; 4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him ; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5 And he said unto them. That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the syna- gogue and taught : and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy itf 10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man. Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so : and his hand was restored whole as the other. 11 And they were filled with madness; /-"VT OW it came to pass on a sab- 0_L>| bath, that he was going through the cornfields; and his dis- ciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But certain of the Phari- sees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day? 3 And Jesus answering them said.
