The Bible, King James version, Book 40: Matthew. Unknown
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
40:003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
40:003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
40:003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
40:003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
40:003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
40:003:016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
40:003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
40:004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
40:004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
40:004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
40:004:004 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
40:004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
40:004:006 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
40:004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
40:004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
40:004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
40:004:010 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
40:004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
40:004:012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
40:004:013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
40:004:014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
40:004:015 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
40:004:016 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
40:004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
40:004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
40:004:019 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
40:004:020 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
40:004:021 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
40:004:022 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
40:004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
40:004:024 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
40:004:025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
40:005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
40:005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
40:005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
40:005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
40:005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
40:005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
40:005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
40:005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
40:005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
40:005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
40:005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
40:005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
40:005:013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
40:005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
40:005:015 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
40:005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
40:005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
40:005:018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
40:005:019 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
40:005:020 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
40:005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
40:005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
40:005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
40:005:024
