  • Genesis 13,14
    And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
    And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
    And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
    Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
    And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
    And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
    And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
    And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
    Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
    And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
    Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
    Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
    But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
    And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
    For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
    And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
    Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
    Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
    And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
    That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
    All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
    Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
    And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
    And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
    And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
    And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
    With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
    And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
    And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
    And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
    And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dw

  • Psalms 17
    Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
    Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
    Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
    Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
    Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
    I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
    Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
    Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
    From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
    They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
    They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
    Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
    Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
    From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
    As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

  • Matthew 9
    And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
    And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
    And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
    And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
    For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
    But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
    And he arose, and departed to his house.
    But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
    And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
    And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
    And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
    But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
    But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
    Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
    And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
    No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
    Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
    While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
    And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
    And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
    For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
    But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
    And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
    He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
    But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
    And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
    And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
    And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
    Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
    And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
    But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
    As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
    And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
    But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
    And Jesus went about all the cities and vi

  • Genesis 11,12
    And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
    And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
    And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
    And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
    And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
    Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
    So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
    Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
    These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
    And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
    And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
    And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
    And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
    And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
    And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
    And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
    And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
    And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
    Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
    And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
    And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
    But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
    And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
    And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
    Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
    And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
    And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
    So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
    And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of

  • Psalms 14,15,16
    The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
    The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
    They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
    Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
    There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
    Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
    Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
    Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
    He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
    He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
    In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
    He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
    Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
    O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
    But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
    Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
    The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
    The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
    I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
    I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
    Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
    For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
    Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

    When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
    And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
    And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
    And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
    And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
    And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
    And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
    The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
    For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
    When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
    And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
    But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
    And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
    And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
    When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
    That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
    Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
    And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
    And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
    And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
    But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
    And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
    And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
    And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
    And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
    But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
    And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
    And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
    And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
    So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
    And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
    And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
    And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and

    And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
    And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
    Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
    But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
    And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
    Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
    And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
    And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
    And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
    And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
    And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
    And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
    I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
    And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
    And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
    And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
    And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
    And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
    These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
    And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
    And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
    And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
    And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
    And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
    And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
    And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
    God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
    And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
    And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
    Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
    The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
    And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
    And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
    By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
    And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

    In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
    For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
    If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
    The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
    The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
    Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
    For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
    Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
    They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
    The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
    Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
    For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
    The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
    Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
    The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
    How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
    How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
    Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
    Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
    But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
    I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

    Judge not, that ye be not judged.
    For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
    Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
    Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
    Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend 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.
    Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
    Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
    Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
    A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
    Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
    Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
    Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
    And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
    Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
    And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
    And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
    And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
    For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

  • Genesis 7, 8
    And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
    Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
    Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
    For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
    And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
    And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
    And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
    Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
    There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
    And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
    In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
    And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
    In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
    They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
    And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
    And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
    And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
    And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
    And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
    Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
    And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
    All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
    And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
    And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
    And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
    The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
    And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
    And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
    And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
    And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
    And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
