CHAPTER 18
Luke 18:1
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray,
and not to faint;
Luke 18:2
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded
man:
Luke 18:3
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me
of mine adversary.
Luke 18:4
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I
fear not God, nor regard man;
Luke 18:5
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her
continual coming she weary me.
Luke 18:6
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. Luke 18:7
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him,
though he bear long with them?
Luke 18:8
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of
man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:9
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they
were righteous, and despised others: Luke 18:10
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other
a publican.
Luke 18:11
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I
am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publican.
Luke 18:12
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Luke 18:13
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes
unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luke 18:14
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the
other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:15
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when
his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. Luke 18:16
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Luke 18:17
17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a
little child shall in no wise enter therein. Luke 18:18
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
Luke 18:19
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one,
that is, God.
Luke 18:20
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. Luke 18:21
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Luke 18:22
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one
thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Luke 18:23
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Luke
18:24
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall
they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Luke 18:25
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 18:26
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? Luke 18:27
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Luke 18:28
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. Luke 18:29
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath
left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of
God's sake,
Luke 18:30
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world
to come life everlasting.
Luke 18:31
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son
of man shall be accomplished.
Luke 18:32
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and
spitefully entreated, and spitted on: Luke 18:33
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he
shall rise again.
Luke 18:34
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from
them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. Luke 18:35
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind
man sat by the way side begging: Luke 18:36
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. Luke 18:37
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Luke 18:38
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Luke 18:39
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but
he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Luke 18:40
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was
come near, he asked him,
Luke 18:41
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I
may receive my sight.
Luke 18:42
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. Luke
18:43
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God:
and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. CHAPTER 19
Luke 19:1
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. Luke 19:2
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the
publicans, and he was rich.
Luke 19:3
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because
he was little of stature.
Luke 19:4
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he
was to pass that way.
Luke 19:5
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto
him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy
house.
Luke 19:6
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. Luke 19:7
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be
guest with a man that is a sinner.
Luke 19:8
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my
goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false
accusation, I restore him fourfold. Luke 19:9
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch
as he also is a son of Abraham. Luke 19:10
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke
19:11
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he
was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God
should immediately appear.
Luke 19:12
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive
for himself a kingdom, and to return. Luke 19:13
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said
unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke 19:14
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will
not have this man to reign over us. Luke 19:15
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the
kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he
had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by
trading.
Luke 19:16
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. Luke
19:17
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been
faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. Luke 19:18
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. Luke
19:19
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. Luke 19:20
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have
kept laid up in a napkin:
Luke 19:21
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that
thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. Luke 19:22
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou
wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid
not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Luke 19:23
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I
might have required mine own with usury? Luke 19:24
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it
to him that hath ten pounds.
Luke 19:25
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) Luke 19:26
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from
him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. Luke 19:27
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them,
bring hither, and slay them before me. Luke 19:28
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Luke 19:29
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Luke 19:30
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your
entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and
bring him hither.
Luke 19:31
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him,
Because the Lord hath need of him.
Luke 19:32
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto
them.
Luke 19:33
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why
loose ye the colt?
Luke 19:34
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. Luke 19:35
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt,
and they set Jesus thereon.
Luke 19:36
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. Luke 19:37
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a
loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Luke 19:38
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in
heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke 19:39
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master,
rebuke thy disciples.
Luke 19:40
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold
their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:41
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Luke 19:42
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the
things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. Luke
19:43
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench
about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, Luke 19:44
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and
they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not
the time of thy visitation. Luke 19:45
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein,
and them that bought;
Luke 19:46
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye
have made it a den of thieves.
Luke 19:47
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes
and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Luke 19:48
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very
attentive to hear him.
CHAPTER 20
Luke 20:1
1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in
the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came
upon him with the elders,
Luke 20:2
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these
things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? Luke 20:3
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and
answer me:
Luke 20:4
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? Luke 20:5
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he
will say, Why then believed ye him not? Luke 20:6
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be
persuaded that John was a prophet.
Luke 20:7
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. Luke 20:8
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.
Luke 20:9
9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a
vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a
long time.
Luke 20:10
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should
give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent
him away empty.
Luke 20:11
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated
him shamefully, and sent him away empty. Luke 20:12
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
Luke 20:13
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved
son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. Luke 20:14
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying,
This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
Luke 20:15
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall
the lord of the vineyard do unto them? Luke 20:16
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to
others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. Luke 20:17
17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone
which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Luke 20:18
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it
shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:19
19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on
him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this
parable against them.
Luke 20:20
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves
just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver
him unto the power and authority of the governor. Luke 20:21
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest
rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of
God truly:
Luke 20:22
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? Luke 20:23
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
Luke 20:24
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and
said, Caesar's.
Luke 20:25
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be
Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. Luke 20:26
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they
marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. Luke 20:27
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any
resurrection; and they asked him,
Luke 20:28
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a
wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and
raise up seed unto his brother. Luke 20:29
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died
without children.
Luke 20:30
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. Luke 20:31
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no
children, and died.
Luke 20:32
32 Last of all the woman died also. Luke 20:33
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her
to wife.
Luke 20:34
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and
are given in marriage:
Luke 20:35
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Luke
20:36
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are
the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 20:37
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he
calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob.
Luke 20:38
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Luke 20:39
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
Luke 20:40
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. Luke 20:41
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? Luke 20:42
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke 20:43
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Luke 20:44
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? Luke 20:45
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Luke
20:46
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love
greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the
chief rooms at feasts;
Luke 20:47
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same
shall receive greater damnation.
CHAPTER 21
Luke 21:1
1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
Luke 21:2
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. Luke 21:3
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in
more than they all:
Luke 21:4
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but
she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. Luke 21:5
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and
gifts, he said,
Luke 21:6
6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there
shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Luke 21:7
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what
sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? Luke 21:8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore
after them.
Luke 21:9
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these
things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Luke 21:10
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom:
Luke 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:12
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake. Luke 21:13
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Luke 21:14
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer:
Luke 21:15
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall
not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke 21:16
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and
friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. Luke 21:17
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. Luke 21:18
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. Luke 21:19
19 In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:20
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the
desolation thereof is nigh.
Luke 21:21
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which
are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries
enter thereinto.
Luke 21:22
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may
be fulfilled.
Luke 21:23
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those
days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this
people.
Luke 21:24
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive
into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luke 21:25
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
Luke 21:26
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke
21:27
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.
Luke 21:28
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:29
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
Luke 21:30
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer
is now nigh at hand.
Luke 21:31
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the
kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Luke 21:32
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be
fulfilled.
Luke 21:33
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke
21:34
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come
upon you unawares.
Luke 21:35
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the
whole earth.
Luke 21:36
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of man.
Luke 21:37
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went
out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. Luke 21:38
38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to
hear him.
