1 And
it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one
of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his
disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give
us day by day our daily bread. 4 And
forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And
lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he
said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and
shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to
me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And
he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and
my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I
say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend,
yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given
you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son
shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he
ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or
if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much
more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask
him?
14 And
he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil
was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 15 But some of
them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And
others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But
he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided
against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also
be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I
cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And
if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out?
therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But
if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come
upon you. 21 When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But
when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from
him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He
that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will
return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And
when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then
goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself;
and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is
worse than the first.
27 And
it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted
up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and
the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea
rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And
when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This
is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it,
but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For
as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this
generation. 31 The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them:
for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The
men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall
condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater
than Jonas is here. 33 No man,
when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither
under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore
when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine
eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take
heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If
thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole
shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee
light.
37 And
as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in,
and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he
marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord
said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside
of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and
wickedness. 40 Ye
fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within
also? 41 But rather give alms of such
things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 42 But
woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and
pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you,
Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in
the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that
walk over them are not aware of them. 45 Then
answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou
reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto
you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne,
and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe
unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed
them. 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye
allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their
sepulchres. 49 Therefore also said the
wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them
they shall slay and persecute: 50 That
the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world,
may be required of this generation; 51 From
the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar
and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away
the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering
in ye hindered. 53 And as he said these things unto them, the
scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke
him to speak of many things: 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to
catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
