  • Luke 15
    Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
    And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
    And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
    What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
    And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
    And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
    I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
    Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
    And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
    Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
    And he said, A certain man had two sons:
    And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
    And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
    And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
    And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
    And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
    And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
    I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
    And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
    And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
    And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
    But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
    And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
    For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
    Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
    And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
    And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
    And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
    And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
    But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
    And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
    It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

  • Numbers 4
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
    Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
    From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
    This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
    And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
    And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
    And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
    And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
    And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
    And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
    And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
    And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
    And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
    And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
    And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
    And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
    Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
    But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
    But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
    From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
    This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
    And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
    And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made f

  • Luke 13,14
    There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
    And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
    I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
    Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
    I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
    He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
    Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
    And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
    And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
    And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
    And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
    And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
    And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
    And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
    The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
    And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
    And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
    Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
    It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
    And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
    It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
    And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
    Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
    Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
    When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
    Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
    But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
    There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
    And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
    And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
    The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
    And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be per

  • Numbers 3
    These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
    And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
    These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
    And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
    And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
    And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
    And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
    And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
    Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
    Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
    And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
    And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
    And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
    And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
    And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
    Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
    Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
    The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
    And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
    And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
    And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
    And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
    In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
    The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
    And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
    And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all

    Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
    Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
    Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
    Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
    He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
    Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
    Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
    Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
    Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
    Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
    Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
    Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
    He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
    Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
    Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
    Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
    For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
    Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
    Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
    To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
    To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
    To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
    Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
    Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
    Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
    Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
    Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
    Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

    I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
    Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
    Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
    One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
    I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
    And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
    They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
    The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
    The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
    All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
    They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
    To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
    Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
    The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
    The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

    Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
    His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
    Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
    Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
    Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
    The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

    Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
    The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
    Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
    Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
    He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

    In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
    For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
    Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
    And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
    But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
    Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
    But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
    Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
    But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
    And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
    And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
    For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
    And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
    And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
    And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
    And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
    And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
    And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
    And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
    But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
    So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
    And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
    The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
    Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
    And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
    If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
    Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
    If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
    And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
    For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
    But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
    Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
    Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

  • Luke 11
    And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
    And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
    Give us day by day our daily bread.
    And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
    And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
    For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
    And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
    I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
    And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
    For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
    If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
    Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
    And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
    But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
    And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
    But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
    If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
    And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
    But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
    When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
    But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
    He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
    When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
    And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
    Then goeth he, and taketh to him 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.
    And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
    But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
    And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
    For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
    The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
    The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it
