What does "This Good Riddle" contain?

All of the riddles and puzzles which have been discovered in the King James Version of the Christian Bible. These riddles and puzzles were hidden in plain sight. They were discovered only by obeying the command that every word be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses.

How big is this collection of His riddles and puzzles?

The short answer is that it has merely 135 paragraphs. The complete answer is that it is infinitely long because it contains infinite wisdom. So, although most people can easily read all of This Good Riddle in merely one day, hardly anybody can ever understand all of it, even after a decade of reading it, because hardly anybody is yet that wise.

001
Thou, Bethlehem, art least among the of Judah. Out of thee shall come that shall rule my people Israel. And shall establish his kingdom upon the throne of David, and upon peace, and to order it with judgment and to [order] it with justice, and there shall be no end of the increase of government from henceforth, even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

002
And therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold a virgin shall conceive and shall bear and [shall] bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name JESUS and shall call his name Immanuel, and circumcise on the eighth day. And when the days of her purification are accomplished, bring and offer two turtledoves, or two young pigeons. The potter said, Give me the price that was prised, thirty pieces of silver. So they took the Lord for them.

003
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the [Lord] of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves [in] the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do, saith the Lord of Hosts. Remember ye the law, the statutes, and [the] judgments, of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD, And he shall turn the heart of the fathers [Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abraham ('Abram is Abraham'), Isaac, Jacob ('Israel will be your name'), Judah, Phares, Esrom, Aram, Aminadab, Naasson, Salmon, Booz, Obed, Jesse, David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, Salathiel, and Zorobabel] to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at first he lightly afflicted the land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the way of the sea beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.

004
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined . A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and it giveth light to all of the [men] that are in the light [in the] house. Let your light so shine before [all of the men that are in the light in the house] that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father [that] is in heaven. And what ye hear spoke in the ear in darkness, that preach ye upon the housetops in light.

005
They hate me without a cause. Make the heart of this people not fat, and make their ears [not] heavy, and shut [not] their eyes; lest that they see [not] with their eyes, and hear [not] with their ears, and understand [not] with their heart, and [not] convert, and [not] be healed. For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and should be converted and I should heal them. And he said, "Go and tell this people: "And hearing ye shall indeed hear, but shall not understand; and seeing ye shall indeed see, but [shall] not perceive:" As said the prophet Esaias, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight." Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough smooth. Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom revealed the arm of the Lord?

006
Mary was espoused to Joseph, and she brought forth her firstborn son and called his name Jesus.

007
Came John preaching in the wilderness the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins and saying, "Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." And John had raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. John baptize in Bethabara, beyond Jordan. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

008
When many come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? John answered them, saying, I have indeed baptized you with water, there standeth one among you whom ye know not; he it is who [is] mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose. And he cometh after me, and shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.

009
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to be baptized of John in Jordan. And he was baptized; and straightway up out of the water, in the spirit he saw the heavens opened and the Holy Ghost descending from heaven, and [the Holy Ghost] descended like a dove upon him; And came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

010
Jesus was led of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and he fasted forty days. He afterward hungered. And the devil said to him, If thou be the Son of God, command that stone be made bread. He answered, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

011
Then the devil taketh him to the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee and in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

012
The devil taketh him up into an high mountain, sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and said unto him, All the glory of them will I give thee, if thou wilt worship me. Jesus said unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. The devil departed him, and angels ministered unto him.

013
Now that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee. Jesus went thence into Tyre and Sidon. And a woman came and she besought of him for her daughter, but he said unto her, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said unto him, Lord, and yet be the saying, the dogs eat of the table crumbs. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Woman, a devil is out of thy daughter.

014
He went through the midst of Galilee and came to Capernaum and taught on the sabbath day. And in the synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit, and cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, he came out of him. And they were all amazed and spake among themselves, saying, What is this? For with authority commandeth he the unclean spirits, and they obey. But said, He casteth out devils by the prince of the devils through Beelzebub.

015
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against itself shall not stand: If Satan be divided against himself, and Satan cast out Satan, how shall his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by God, the kingdom of God is come unto you. I say unto you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; and whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven.

016
Ye serpents, for the tree is known by his fruit, Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance, And 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. Beware of false prophets. They 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. For a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is therefore hewn down, and cast into the fire.

017
The law and the prophets until John prophesied the kingdom. And I say that ye repent, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh at hand to ye . The people said, What shall we do then? Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves [approach,] break through and steal. Lay up for yourselves a treasure but in heaven where thieves do not approach, [break through] nor steal: neither where moth [and rust] doth corrupt and that ye have [treasures but in heaven] which [thieves do ] not [approach, break through, nor steal], and that [neither moth] nor rust [doth corrupt]. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. The light of the body is the eye. If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall therefore be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

018
Or how wilt say thou to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote of thine eye, and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote of thy brother's eye.

019
And if thy hand, thy foot, offend thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life halt, maimed, than having two hands, two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that [is] never quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter into with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. And fear not them that kill the body, but fear him which hath power to cast in hell.

020
And he said, Whereunto shall the kingdom of God liken? Is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Also, no man putteth a piece of new cloth on an old garment, else the new piece to fill it up taketh from the old and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine burst the bottles and the wine is spilled, and the bottles shall perish. but new wine must be put into new bottles and both are preserved.

021
And he spake, Behold, A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell upon stony where it had not much earth; and it sprung up because it had no depth of earth. And when the sun was up, it was scorched and, because it had no root, it but withered away. And some fell among thorns; and sprang up, and the thorns choked it. And other fell on good ground and sprang up and brought forth fruit; some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

022
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field, which is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becometh a great tree so that the fowls of the air lodge in the branches of it. And he said, a man sowed seed in the ground; and slept. First the blade sprung and grow up, but when the seed brought forth fruit, then [he] put in the sickle because the harvest is come. So is the kingdom. Saith he, The harvest truly is, but the workers are few. Jew, Gentile, bond, free, male, female, he that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. They understood not that he spake to them.

023
And Simon's wife's mother laid sick with a fever. When they besought him of her and he was come out of the synagogue, and they were entered into the house of Simon, he touched her hand. And the fever left her immediately and she arose and ministered unto them. His fame spread abroad throughout all the country and region in and round about Galilee. When the sun set, they brought unto him all them that were possessed with devils and that were sick with divers diseases and he healed them. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And when they could not bring in, they let down to him.

024
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. And certain of the scribes, reasoning, said in themselves, This man speaketh blasphemies. Who can forgive sins but God only? And when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he said unto them, Reason ye in your hearts 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, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thine house. And immediately he arose before them, took up that, and departed to his house. And they were all amazed and they glorified God, saying, We saw it. And he cast out many devils and suffered not to speak, for they knew him, and healed that were sick.

025
And in the morning, when it was day, Jesus went out and stood on the shore by the sea of Galilee, and there he again prayed. He saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother with Zebedee in a ship mending their nets, for all night they took nothing. And he saith unto them, Cast the net. They cast it into the sea and inclosed a great multitude of fishes. They in the two other little ships came, and when they were come, drew up to land the net full and the net broke not.

026
And Jesus said unto them, Come. Follow me and I will make you fishers of men. And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed him. And walking on from thence, he saw Simon Peter and Andrew his brother in a ship casting a net into the sea for they were fishers. He called them and they straightway forsook their nets and followed him.

027
And he said unto them, I preach to the cities also for therefore came I forth. And he entered into a ship with his disciples, and he said unto them, Let us now go over unto the other side. And there arose a great storm of wind on the sea so that the ship was filled with the waves; but he was asleep. And they came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, we perish. And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? Faith ye. Then he arose and rebuked, and the winds and the sea ceased, and there was a great calm. And they wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

028
And they came over to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come, there met him out of the tombs a man with devils. And he was bound with fetters and chains that he often brake. When he saw Jesus, he cried out with a loud voice and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. (For he said, Unclean spirit, come out of the man.)

029
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion many. And besought him that he would not send them out. And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; And the devils besought him, saying, Suffer us to enter into them. And he suffered them. And they went out and entered into the swine and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and were choked. And they that fed them fled and went and told it in the city, and in the country. And they that saw it told them what befell to that was possessed of the devils. And the whole went out to see what was done and they saw him sitting, clothed, and also in his right mind and they were afraid. And they came to Jesus and they besought him to depart out of their coasts. And he went into the ship and the man besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus saith unto him, Go to thy home and shew them how great things God hath done. And he departed and published how great things Jesus had done.

030
He say, When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh 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 he left them, and departed to the other side.

031
And, behold, there came Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell at his feet, and besought him, saying, My daughter at the point of death. Come and lay thy hand on her, and she shall live.

032
And Jesus went, and people followed him and thronged him. And, behold, a woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years and had spent all, that she be healed of physicians, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment, for she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And her blood immediately stanched. And Jesus turned him about and said, Who touched? And his disciples said, The multitude throng thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And when he saw her, the woman came trembling, and falling down before him, told him all. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

033
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead. Trouble thou the master any? Jesus heard. He saith, Fear not; only believe. And when he came into the house of the ruler, he said unto them that wept and wailed, Weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. He put them all out and he suffered no man but the father and the mother of the maiden, save Peter, and James and John. And he took her by the hand, and said, Damsel, arise. And the maid straightway arose. And they were astonished. And he charged them that no man should know, and commanded, Give her to eat.

034
And he departed thence and was come into his own country. And when he began to teach in the synagogue, they were astonished and were offended at him, many saying, Is not this the son of Joseph, the carpenter? Are not his mother, Mary, and brethren, James and Joses and Simon and Judas, and his sisters, Martha and Mary called Magdalene, with us? Whence hath this man these things, this wisdom and mighty works? Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house because of their unbelief.

035
Then came his mother and his brethren and standing without, sent unto him. The people said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring thee. He answered and said, Who is my mother and my brethren? And he said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother and sister, and my mother.

036
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.

037
And he went forth and saw Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And sat with publicans in his house. The scribes and Pharisees say, His disciples eat and drink with publicans and sinners. Jesus said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Man have an hundred sheep, one of them stray. Doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go that which is lost? And he find it, he rejoiceth more than of the ninety and nine.

038
Then came scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem, saying, Thy disciples, unwashen hands, eat bread. Why transgress the tradition of the elders? He answered and said unto them, Hypocrites. Well Esaias prophesy of you, saying, Forasmuch as this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and do honoureth me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men, in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother. And, that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me, he shall be free to do not for his father or his mother. Ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

039
He called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand. Not that into defile a man; but which come out of defile a man. The blind lead the blind, they both shall fall into the ditch.

040
And they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

041
And his disciples asked him this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also without understanding? Do not ye understand, that whatsoever entereth into the belly goeth out into the draught? A good man out of the good treasure of heart bringeth forth good, for of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. And an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil, for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts: murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, blasphemies which cometh out of the heart and defile the man.

042
And it came to pass on the sabbath that he went through the corn fields and his disciples pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said, Why do that which is not lawful on the sabbath day? And Jesus said, Have ye not read what David did, when was an hungred, and they were with him? How he went into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them were with him? And he said unto them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.

043
And he entered into the synagogue and there was a man which had withered hand. And the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might accuse him. And he saith to the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. Jesus said unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? Shall you fall into a pit on the sabbath day and will not out? Is it lawful on the sabbath day? They held their peace. And look round about on them, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. But they counsel with madness against him, how they might destroy him. But Jesus withdrew himself and great multitude followed him. And he went about the cities and villages, teaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and healing in synagogues.

044
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. And when the men knew him, they that were sick in that region round about besought him that they might touch but the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole. And when Jesus had ended, the people were astonished at his sayings. Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they now with me three days, and have nothing to eat. I send them away fasting, and they will faint by the way. And his disciples say unto him, Whence bread in the wilderness? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

045
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. They did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. And they that eat were four thousand.

046
And he sent away, and came into the coasts. He departed privately by ship to Bethsaida into a desert place. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and sat there with his disciples. And a great multitude followed him from Jerusalem and Judaea and Decapolis and Tyre and Sidon beyond Jordan. John in prison sent two of his disciples and say unto him, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

047
And there came a leper saying, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, say, I will; be thou clean. And immediately leprosy was cleansed. And saith unto him, See thou say no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. And the people came unto him and he healed them all and they glorified God.

048
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go John things ye hear. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the gospel preached to the poor. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

049
They departed and he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they are in kings. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. I say unto you, Among that are born of women there not a greater than John the Baptist; he that is least in the kingdom is greater than he.

050
Whereunto shall I liken this generation? Like unto children sitting in the market and calling and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

051
And great multitude were gathered unto him, and the whole multitude on the land. When he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion to them, because they were as sheep having no shepherd, so that he went into a ship, and sat, and taught the people. All things spake Jesus unto the multitude with parables, and without a parable spake he not unto them. And when the day was even, his disciples came and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about and buy themselves victuals for this is a desert place and the time is now past. But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have but five loaves, and two fishes. Shall we go and buy? And he commanded all them to sit down by fifties on the grass And they sat down in companies. He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled And they that eat were about five thousand men And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and the fishes that remained to them.

052
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into ship, and to go before to the other side while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went into a mountain. He was alone to pray. And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea for the wind was contrary. And the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled and cried out, It a spirit. But he say unto them, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And he come into the ship, and the wind ceased.

053
Disciples had forgotten to take bread. He say, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. When Jesus perceived, he say unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye not remember the five loaves five thousand how many baskets ye took up? the seven four thousand, how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand?

054
Jesus entered into Capernaum and a certain servant of the centurion was sick. And when the centurion heard Jesus was come, he went and came to Jesus and he besought him, beseeching him that he would heal his son, saying, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest under my roof: speak but word and my servant shall be healed for I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

055
When Jesus heard, he marvelled and said unto the people, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell.

056
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way. Now when the centurion saw that was done unto his servant the selfsame hour, he believed, saying, Truly this man was the Son of God.

057
Herod the tetrarch heard of him and feared him and said, This is John I beheaded. He is risen from the dead. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife, for John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have. When Herod birthday was, the daughter of Herodias danced and pleased Herod. He promised to give her. And she said, Give me head of John the Baptist in a charger. And the king was sorry. And for oath's sake, and which sat with him, he sent, and beheaded John in the prison, And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and she to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up.

058
Jesus into the of Caesarea Philippi and he called unto him twelve apostles: Simon he named Peter and Andrew his brother, the James of Zebedee and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, the James of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot which also betrayed him.

059
He asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I am? And they said, John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith, Thou art the Christ. He charged them that they should tell no man. Jesus said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; the Father, save the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. Verily I say unto you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered but there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come.

060
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to them in parables. I will open my mouth in parable: I will utter dark sayings of old that seeing they see not; hearing they hear and they not understand them.

061
Blessed are eyes see for I tell you that many prophets have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Take heed ye hear, for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

062
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Ask, and it shall be given unto 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.

063
Or what man is there of you, 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 [that] is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not two sparrows sold for one farthing? And are ye not much better than [one] of them? Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

064
Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For your Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. And he said unto Is not the life more than meat, and the body [more] than raiment? Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, for body, what ye shall put on for after all these things do the [sparrows] seek. But seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

065
Brother sin against thee, forgive him seven times seven times. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. It [hath been said] that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you. It [hath been said], An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth; but I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; And if any man will sue thee at the law, and taketh away thy cloke, let him have thy coat also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence till thou hast paid the uttermost. Judge not, that ye be not judged that ye may be the children of your Father [that] is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good. Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father is in heaven is perfect. For if ye love them which love you, what have ye? For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 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.

066
When they by the way side hear the parable of the word then cometh the sower and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. They on stony, when they hear the word, receive it with joy but have no root in self and dure for a while. When tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word they are offended in time. And they that hear the word and which are among thorns, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word and becometh unfruitful. But they that are on the good ground hear the word and bring forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

067
And Jesus said unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, father, mother and son or daughter, and take up his cross and follow me. And whosoever hate not them and his cross after me, he not loveth me. Whosoever shall confess me before men, him also I confess before. But deny me before men, I but deny before. Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he come in the glory of Father and holy angels. That I am come to peace on earth? For the son against the father, the daughter against her mother and the daughter in law against her mother in law. A man's foes shall be of his own house. For what profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

068
And a certain said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another said, Lord, suffer unto me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me. Let the dead bury their dead. Then Peter said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or father, or mother, or brethren, or sisters, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake but shall receive an hundredfold in this time, and everlasting life, in the world to come that ye sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

069
And came to him the sons of Zebedee desiring. And he said, What? Saith unto him, Grant that may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left. And when the ten heard it, they with indignation. But Jesus said, Ye know not what ye ask. Drink ye of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of cup and with the baptism that I am baptized with. But to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. But many that are the first shall be last; and last shall be first.

070
And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart, and he was transfigured before them, and his raiment was white. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. And Peter answered and said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

071
While he spake, behold, a cloud came which overshadowed them there, and, behold, as they [were] overshadowed, a voice came out of the cloud, and the voice [was] not a still voice and [the voice was] saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased : hear ye him and fear [him] and the cloud. Behold my servant whom I have chosen, in whom I put my soul, and upon him my spirit. He shall judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry nor his voice hear in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench. He forth judgment unto and the Gentiles shall trust in. I the Lord have thee for a light of the Gentiles, And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

072
And Jesus answering said unto him, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the LORD hath anointed me. He hath sent me to preach good tidings to the poor, to preach liberty to the captives, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord to the brokenhearted.

073
And when they had, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And they were sore afraid. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, Tell no man til the Son of man risen from the dead. And they kept. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered them, Elias come first, and restore all things set at nought. But I say unto you that Elias is come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed.

074
And when they were come down, he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power over all unclean spirits and to heal disease. And sent them forth, two and two, into city. And commanded them, Preach the kingdom. Heal the sick. Take nothing for your journey, neither purse nor money, neither scrip nor bread, neither two coats, nor staves, no shoes, for the labourer is worthy of his.

075
And into whatsoever city ye enter into an house, salute, Peace be house. And if your peace be upon it, there abide till ye thence depart. And if it be not, turn to you. He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart out of that city, shake the dust off your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

076
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. And he say, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. And blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they [that] do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute [you and] shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for your reward is great in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets [who] were before you.

077
And they went, and preach, and heal them that sick. And the apostles told him all they had done. And John answered, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. Jesus said, Forbid him not for he that is not against us is for.

078
And a man of the multitude saying, Master, have compassion on my son. A spirit taketh him into the fire, and into the water and he teareth him and he foameth. And I brought him to thy disciples to cast him out; and it they could not. Jesus answer and said, Bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil, and the unclean spirit came out of him, and the child was cured.

079
The disciples came apart, and asked Jesus, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus answer and said unto them, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you [faithless and perverse]? how long shall I suffer you to [be] a [faithless and perverse generation]? If ye had faith as [a] grain of mustard seed, ye [shall] say unto this mountain, Be thou by [a grain of mustard seed] and it [shall be by a grain of mustard seed].

080
He began to shew his disciples that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and and be raised the third day. And Jesus said unto them, The Son of man into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall rise. And they understood not that saying, but feared to ask him.

081
And he came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan. The Pharisees came to him, and tempting him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? And he answered and said unto them, He made them male and female and blessed them. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: And they twain shall be one flesh. They are therefore no more twain, but one flesh. What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say, Did Moses command to write of a divorcement, and to put her away? Being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto them, Because of the hardness of your heart. But from the beginning, whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery. I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: And whosoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery.

082
And as he and they came to Jericho, blind sat begging by the way side. A great multitude pass by. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they rebuked him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And he said, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? Say unto him, Lord, that I receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him.

083
He took the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, and they shall mock, scourge, spit on and crucify him, and the third day he shall rise again. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. But he turned and say, Peter, get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but that be of men. And Jesus went before in the way going up to Jerusalem.

084
And when they were come nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and enter. Ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat. Loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, Why do ye?, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of him. And straightway he will send him.

085
And they went their way, and found as, and loose the colt. And loosing the colt, they there said unto them, loose ye the colt? And they said as Jesus commanded, and let go. And they brought him to Jesus, and cast their garments on the colt; and they set Jesus thereon.

086
And a multitude spread their garments in the way, others cut down branches of the trees, and strawed them in the way. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved and say, Who is this? And that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the King, the prophet Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph! Hosanna in the highest! Daughter of Sion, behold, thy King cometh unto thee meek and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

087
And Jesus beheld the rich cast into the treasury, and a certain poor widow cast in two mites. And he said, I say unto you that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they. For all cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all living that she had. And Jesus went into the temple and began to cast out all them that bought and sold in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. And said unto them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer of all people, but ye have made it a den of thieves. The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

088
And the chief priests and the scribes hear all the people and sought how they might destroy him. And the Pharisees came tempting him, and seeking of him a sign from heaven. And he said, this evil generation seek after a sign and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. (Jonah was in the belly three days and three nights.) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

089
And they send unto him the Pharisees and the Herodians that they might entangle him in his words. And they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and but teachest the way of God in truth, for thou regardest not the person of men, neither carest for any man. Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Shew me a penny. And they brought it unto him. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said, Caesar's. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

090
Then came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, having no children, that his brother should take his wife, marry, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, died, and left no seed. And the second took her, and died, and left no seed. And the third also. And likewise the seven. And last of all the woman also died. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God for in the resurrection from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven. As touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that God at the bush spoke unto Moses, saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living children.

091
And Jesus said unto them, How say they that Christ is the Son of David? David himself said, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David while in spirit call him Lord. How then is he his son? And not any durst ask him that question.

092
And they brought little children unto him, that he should touch them, and his disciples rebuked them. And Jesus called a child unto him, and he took him up in his arms. But Jesus said, Suffer
