REFERENCE LIFE OF CHRIST
Luke 1:26-35 [1:26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [1:27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [1:28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [1:29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [1:30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [1:31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS . [1:32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [1:33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. [1:34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
See above [1:35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Annunciation)
Matthew 1:18-25 [1:18] Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. [1:19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. [1:20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. [1:21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. [1:22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [1:23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [1:24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
See above [1:25] And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. (Birth)
Luke 2:8-20 [2:8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field , keeping watch over their flock by night. [2:9] And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. [2:10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [2:11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. [2:12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes , lying in a manger. [2:13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [2:14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. [2:15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
See above [2:16] And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [2:17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [2:18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. [2:19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. [2:20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. (Shepherd's visit - note that they came to see a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, and there was no star to guide them.)
Luke 2:21-40 [2:21] And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [2:22] And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; [2:23] (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) [2:24] And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. [2:25] And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. [2:26] And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
See above [2:27] And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, [2:28] Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, [2:29] Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: [2:30] For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, [2:31] Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; [2:32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. [2:33] And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. [2:34] And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; [2:35] (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. [2:36] And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
See above [2:37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. [2:38] And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. [2:39] And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. [2:40] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. (Presentation at the temple)
Matthew 2:1-12 [2:1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, [2:2] Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. [2:3] When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. [2:4] And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. [2:5] And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, [2:6] And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. [2:7] Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. [2:8] And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
See above [2:9] When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. [2:10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. [2:11] And when they were come into the house , they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. [2:12] And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. (Visit by the wise men of the east - note that they were guided by a star, and that they came into a house not a manger, and saw a young child not a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. Also, there were probably more than three wise men.)
Matthew 2:13-23 [2:13] And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. [2:14] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt : [2:15] And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. [2:16] Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under , according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. (Note that all children, boys and girls, from two years old and under were slain.)
See above [2:17] Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, [2:18] In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. [2:19] But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, [2:20] Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. [2:21] And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. [2:22] But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: [2:23] And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (Egypt and Nazareth)
Luke 2:40-52 [2:40] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. [2:41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. [2:42] And when he was twelve years old , they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. [2:43] And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. [2:44] But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. [2:45] And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. [2:46] And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple , sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. [2:47] And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. [2:48] And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
See above [2:49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? [2:50] And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. [2:51] And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. [2:52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. (The temple & His childhood years)
Luke 3:21-23 [3:21] Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized , and praying, the heaven was opened, [3:22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son ; in thee I am well pleased. [3:23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age , being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, (His baptism & beginning of ministry)
Matthew 4:1-11 [4:1] Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. [4:2] And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. [4:3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. [4:4] 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. [4:5] Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, [4:6] 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. [4:7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [4:8] 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;
See above [4:9] And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. [4:10] 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. [4:11] Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. (Temptation in the wilderness)
Luke 4:14-16 [4:14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [4:15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. [4:16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [4:31] And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee , and taught them on the sabbath days. [4:44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. (Jesus preaches in Galilee)
John 2:1-11 [2:1] And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: [2:2] And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. [2:3] And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. [2:4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. [2:5] His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. [2:6] And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. [2:7] Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. [2:8] And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. [2:9] When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine , and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
See above [2:10] And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. [2:11] This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. (His 1st miracle)
John 2:13-17 [2:13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, [2:14] And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: [2:15] And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; [2:16] And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise . [2:17] And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. (Cleansing of the temple)
John 3:1-12 [3:1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [3:2] The same came to Jesus by night , and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [3:3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [3:4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [3:5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [3:6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [3:7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [3:8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
See above [3:9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? [3:10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? [3:11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. [3:12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (Jesus & Nicodemus)
John 4:5-42 [4:5] Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. [4:6] Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. [4:7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. [4:8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) [4:9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. [4:10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. [4:11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
See above [4:12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [4:13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: [4:14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. [4:15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. [4:16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. [4:17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: [4:18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. [4:19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. [4:20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
See above [4:21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [4:22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [4:23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [4:24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. [4:25] The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. [4:26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. [4:27] And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? [4:28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, [4:29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? [4:30] Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
See above [4:31] In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. [4:32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. [4:33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? [4:34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. [4:35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. [4:36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. [4:37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. [4:38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. [4:39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
See above [4:40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. [4:41] And many more believed because of his own word; [4:42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. (Jesus & the Samaritan woman)
John 4:46-54 [4:46] So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. [4:47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. [4:48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. [4:49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. [4:50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. [4:51] And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. [4:52] Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him . [4:53] So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
See above [4:54] This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. (Jesus's 2nd miracle, the healing of the Capernaum nobleman's son)
Luke 4:16, 28-30 [4:16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [4:28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, [4:29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. [4:30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way, (The first attempted murder of Jesus)
Matthew 4:18-22 [4:18] 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. [4:19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. [4:20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. [4:21] 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. [4:22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. (The 1st 4 disciples)
Luke 4:36-39 [4:38] And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. [4:39] And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. (Mother-in-law of Simon Peter healed)
Luke 4:40-41 [4:40] Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. [4:41] And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. (Jesus heals in Galilee)
Luke 4:42-44 [4:42] And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. [4:43] And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. [4:44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. (Jesus preaches in Galilee)
Luke 5:27-28, Matthew 9:9 [Luke 5:27] And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. [5:28] And he left all, rose up, and followed him. [Matthew 9:9] 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. (Jesus calls Matthew (Levi) as a disciple)
Luke 6:13-16 [6:13] And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; [6:14] Simon, (whom he also named Peter ,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, [6:15] Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus , and Simon called Zelotes , [6:16] And Judas the brother of James , and Judas Iscariot , which also was the traitor. (Jesus names the 12 apostles)
Matthew 5:1-7:29 [5:1] And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: [5:2] And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, [5:3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [5:4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5:5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [5:6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [5:7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [5:8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [5:9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [5:10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [5:11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [5:12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
See above [5:13] 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. [5:14] Ye are the light of the world . A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [5:15] 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. [5:16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. [5:17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [5:18] 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. [5:19] 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.
See above [5:20] 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. [5:21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [5:22] 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. [5:23] Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [5:24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. [5:25] 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.
See above [5:26] Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [5:27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [5:28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [5:29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [5:30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [5:31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
See above [5:32] But I say unto you, That 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. [5:33] Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [5:34] But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [5:35] Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. [5:36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. [5:37] But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. [5:38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: [5:39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [5:40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
See above [5:41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. [5:42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. [5:43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [5:44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies , bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [5:45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [5:46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [5:47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [5:48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
See above [6:1] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [6:2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [6:3] But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: [6:4] That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. [6:5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [6:6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
See above [6:7] But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions , as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [6:8] Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. [6:9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. [6:10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. [6:11] Give us this day our daily bread. [6:12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. [6:13] 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. [6:14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [6:15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. [6:16] Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
See above [6:17] But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; [6:18] That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. [6:19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [6:20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven , where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [6:21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [6:22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. [6:23] 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! [6:24] No man 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.
See above [6:25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [6:26] 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 ye not much better than they? [6:27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [6:28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [6:29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [6:30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [6:31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
See above [6:32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [6:33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [6:34] 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.
See above [7:1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [7:2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [7:3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [7:4] 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? [7:5] 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. [7:6] 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. [7:7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: [7:8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [7:9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
See above [7:10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? [7:11] 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? [7:12] 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. [7:13] 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: [7:14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [7:15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [7:16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [7:17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [7:18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
See above [7:19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [7:20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [7:21] 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. [7:22] 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? [7:23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [7:24] 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 : [7:25] 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. [7:26] 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:
See above [7:27] 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. [7:28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: [7:29] For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Sermon on the mount)
Matthew 13:1-58 [13:1] The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. [13:2] And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. [13:3] And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; [13:4] And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: [13:5] Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: [13:6] And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. [13:7] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: [13:8] But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. [13:9] Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. [13:10] And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
See above [13:11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. [13:12] For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. [13:13] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. [13:14] And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: [13:15] For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. [13:16] But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
See above [13:17] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men 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. [13:18] Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. [13:19] When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. [13:20] But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; [13:21] Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. [13:22] He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
See above [13:22] He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. [13:23] But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [13:24] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [13:25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat , and went his way. [13:26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [13:27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [13:28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
See above [13:29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [13:30] Let both grow together until the harvest : and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. [13:31] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed , which a man took, and sowed in his field: [13:32] Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. [13:33] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [13:34] All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
See above [13:35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. [13:36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field . [13:37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [13:38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [13:39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world ; and the reapers are the angels. [13:40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [13:41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [13:42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
See above [13:43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. [13:44] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. [13:45] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls : [13:46] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. [13:47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: [13:48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [13:49] So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, [13:50] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [13:51] Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
See above [13:52] Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. [13:53] And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. [13:54] And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? [13:55] Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? [13:56] And his sisters , are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? [13:57] And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. [13:58] And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. (Kingdom parables)
Luke 8:22-25 [8:22] Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. [8:23] But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
[8:24] And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. [8:25] And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. (Jesus stills the storm)
Luke 8:26-39 [8:26] And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. [8:27] And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. [8:28] When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. [8:29] (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) [8:30] And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. [8:31] And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
See above [8:32] And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. [8:33] Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. [8:34] When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. [8:35] Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. [8:36] They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. [8:37] Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
See above [8:38] Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, [8:39] Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. (Jesus heals the maniac of Gadara)
Luke 8:40-42, 49-56 [8:40] And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. [8:41] And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: [8:42] For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. [8:49] While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. [8:50] But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. [8:51] And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. [8:52] And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. [8:53] And they laughed him to scorn , knowing that she was dead.
See above [8:54] And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. [8:55] And her spirit came again , and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. [8:56] And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. (The healing of Jairus' daughter)
Luke 8:43-48 [8:43] And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, [8:44] Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment : and immediately her issue of blood stanched. [8:45] And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? [8:46] And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me : for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. [8:47] And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. [8:48] And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. (The healing of a woman with an issue of blood)
Luke 9:1-6 [9:1] Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. [9:2] And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. [9:3] And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. [9:4] And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. [9:5] And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. [9:6] And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. (Jesus sends forth His 12 disciples)
Matthew 14:1-12 [14:1] At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, [14:2] And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist ; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. [14:3] For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. [14:4] For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. [14:5] And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. [14:6] But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. [14:7] Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. [14:8] And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. [14:9] And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. [14:10] And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
See above [14:11] And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. [14:12] And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. (The beheading of John the Baptist)
Matthew 14:13-21 [14:13] When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. [4:14] And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude , and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. [14:15] And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. [14:16] But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. [14:17] And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. [14:18] He said, Bring them hither to me. [14:19] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes , and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
See above [14:20] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. [14:21] And they that had eaten were about five thousand men , beside women and children. (The feeding of the 5,000)
Matthew 14:22-34 [14:22] And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. [14:23] And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. [14:24] But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. [14:25] And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea . [14:26] And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. [14:27] But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. [14:28] And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. [14:29] And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [14:30] But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
See above [14:31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? [14:32] And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. [14:33] Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. [14:34] And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. (Jesus walks on the water)
Matthew 15:21-28 [15:21] Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. [15:22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. [15:23] But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. [15:24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. [15:25] Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. [15:26] But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. [15:27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. [15:28] Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. (The Syrophenician woman's daughter healed)
Matthew 15:29-38 [15:29] And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. [15:30] And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: [15:31] Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. [15:32] Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. [15:33] And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? [15:34] And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes . [15:35] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
See above [15:36] And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. [15:37] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. [15:38] And they that did eat were four thousand men , beside women and children. (The feeding of the 4,000)
Matthew 16:13-18 [16:13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [16:14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [16:15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16:16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [16:17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [16:18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Jesus and His church)
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. (Jesus foretells His death & resurrection)
Matthew 17:1-9 [17:1] And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [17:2] And was transfigured before them : and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. [17:3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. [17:4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [17:5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. [17:6] And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. [17:7] And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. [17:8] And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
See above [17:9] And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. (The transfiguration)
Matthew 17:22-23 [17:22] And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: [17:23] And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. (Jesus foretells His death & resurrection again)
John 7:1-12 [7:1] After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. [7:2] Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. [7:3] His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. [7:4] For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. [7:5] For neither did his brethren believe in him. [7:6] Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. [7:7] The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. [7:8] Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. [7:9] When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. [7:10] But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
See above [7:11] Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? [7:12] And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. [7:13] Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. [7:14] Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. (Jesus goes up to the Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem)
John 8:1-11 [8:1] Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. [8:2] And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. [8:3] And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery ; and when they had set her in the midst, [8:4] They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. [8:5] Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? [8:6] This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. [8:7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [8:8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. [8:9] And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
See above [8:10] When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? [8:11] She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (The woman taken in adultery)
John 9:1-7 [9:1] And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. [9:2] And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? [9:3] Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. [9:4] I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. [9:5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. [9:6] When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, [9:7] And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. (Jesus heals a man blind from birth)
Luke 10:1-12, 17 [10:1] After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. [10:2] Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest , that he would send forth labourers into his harvest . [10:3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. [10:4] Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. [10:5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [10:6] And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. [10:7] And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. [10:8] And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: [10:9] And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
See above [10:10] But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, [10:11] Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [10:12] But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. [10:17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. (Jesus sends out the seventy)
Luke 10:38-42 [10:38] Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. [10:39] And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. [10:40] But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. [10:41] And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: [10:42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. (Jesus, Mary, & Martha)
John 11:1-44 [11:1] Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. [11:2] (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick .) [11:3] Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. [11:4] When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. [11:5] Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. [11:6] When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. [11:7] Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. [11:8] His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? [11:9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
See above [11:10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. [11:11] These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. [11:12] Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. [11:13] Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. [11:14] Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead . [11:15] And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. [11:16] Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. [11:17] Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. [11:18] Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: [11:19] And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
See above [11:20] Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. [11:21] Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. [11:22] But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. [11:23] Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. [11:24] Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. [11:25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [11:26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? [11:27] She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. [11:28] And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. [11:29] As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
See above [11:30] Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. [11:31] The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. [11:32] Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. [11:33] When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, [11:34] And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. [11:35] Jesus wept . [11:36] Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! [11:37] And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? [11:38] Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
See above [11:39] Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. [11:40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? [11:41] Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [11:42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. [11:43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus , come forth . [11:44] And he that was dead came forth , bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin . Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. (Raising of Lazarus)
Luke 17:11-19 [17:11] And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. [17:12] And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers , which stood afar off: [17:13] And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. [17:14] And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. [17:15] And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, [17:16] And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. [17:17] And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? [17:18] There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. [17:19] And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Ten lepers cleansed)
Luke 17:22-37 [17:22] And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. [17:23] And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. [17:24] For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. [17:25] But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. [17:26] And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [17:27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [17:28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [17:29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
See above [17:30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [17:31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. [17:32] Remember Lot's wife. [17:33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. [17:34] I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. [17:35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [17:36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [17:37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. (Jesus tell of His second coming)
Luke 18:15-17 [18:15] And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. [18:16] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. [18:17] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. (Jesus blesses little children)
Luke 18:18-27 [18:18] And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master , what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [18:19] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. [18:20] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. [18:21] And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. [18:22] Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. [18:23] And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. [18:24] And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [18:25] For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [18:26] And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
See above [18:27] And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Jesus and the rich young ruler)
Luke 18:31-34 [18:31] Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. [18:32] For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: [18:33] And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. [18:34] And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. (Jesus again tells of His death & resurrection)
Mark 10:46-2 [10:46] And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus , the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. [10:47] And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. [10:48] And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. [10:49] And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. [10:50] And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. [10:51] And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. [10:52] And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. (Jesus heals blind Bartimaeus)
Luke 19:1-10 [19:1] And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. [19:2] And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. [19:3] And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. [19:4] And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. [19:5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. [19:6] And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. [19:7] And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. [19:8] And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. [19:9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
See above [19:10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Zacchaeus in a tree)
John 12:1-11 [12:1] Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. [12:2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. [12:3] Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. [12:4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, [12:5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? [12:6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. [12:7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. [12:8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
See above [12:9] Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. [12:10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; [12:11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. (Jesus and the supper at Bethany)
Matthew 21:1-3, 9-10, 17, Mark 11:1-2, Luke 19:28-30, John 12:12-13 (Sunday) [Matthew 21:1] And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, [21:2] Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. [21:3] And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. [21:9] And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. [21:10] And when he was come into Jerusalem , all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? [21:17] And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there . [Mark 11:1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
See above (Sunday) [Mark 11:2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. [Luke 19:28] And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. [19:29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, [19:30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. [John 12:12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, [12:13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Palm Sunday in Bethlehem, evening in Bethany. Note that the Jewish day began at 6 PM in the evening and continued 24 hours to 6 PM the next day.)
Matthew 21:18-19, 22:23, 26:2, Mark 11:12-15, 19, 14:1, Luke 19:45 (Monday) [Matthew 21:18] Now in the morning as he returned into the city , he hungered. [21:19] And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. [22:23] The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, [26:2] Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified . [Mark 11:12] And on the morrow , when they were come from Bethany , he was hungry: [11:13] And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. [11:14] And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. (Monday He returns to Jerusalem)
See above (Monday) [Mark 11:15] And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; [11:19] And when even was come, he went out of the city. [14:1] After two days was the feast of the passover , and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. [Luke 19:45] And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; (This would point to Wednesday as the {yearly} passover, and His day of crucifixion. According to Jewish time, Wednesday would begin at 6 PM on Tuesday evening.)
Matthew 26:17-21, 47, Mark 11:20, 27, 14:12, 16-17, 43, Luke 22:1-3, 7-8, 14-15, 48, 54, John 13:1-2, 18:1-2, 12-13 (Tuesday) [Matthew 26:17] Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? [26:18] And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. [26:19] And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. [26:20] Now when the even was come , he sat down with the twelve. [26:21] And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. [26:47] And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
See above (Tuesday) [Mark 11:20] And in the morning , as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. [11:27] And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, [14:12] And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover , his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? [14:16] And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. [14:17] And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. [14:43] And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
See above (Tuesday) [Luke 22:1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover . [22:2] And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. [22:3] Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. [22:7] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. [22:8] And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. [22:14] And when the hour was come , he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. [22:15] And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: [22:48] But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? [22:54] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. (Late Tuesday night.)
See above (Tuesday) [John 13:1] Now before the feast of the passover , when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. [13:2] And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; [18:1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. [18:2] And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. [18:12] Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, [18:13] And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. (This must be Tuesday, for the passover would begin at 6 PM. Prior to 6 PM, they were preparing for the passover. He would be betrayed after 6 PM, thus really making it Wednesday, in Jewish time.)
Matthew 27:1-2, Mark 15:1, Luke 22:66, John 18:28 (Wednesday) [Matthew 27:1] When the morning was come , all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: [27:2] And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. [Mark 15:1] And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. [Luke 22:66] And as soon as it was day , the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, [John 18:28] Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early ; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. (Dawn Wednesday morning)
Luke 23:12, (Wednesday) [Luke 23:12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. (Wednesday morning)
Matthew 27:15, 35, Mark 15:25, Luke 23:33, John 19:18 (Wednesday) [Matthew 27:15] Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. [27:35] And they crucified him , and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. [Mark 15:25] And it was the third hour , and they crucified him. [Luke 23:33] And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. [John 19:18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. (9 AM)
Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44, John 19:14 (Wednesday) [Matthew 27:45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour . [Mark 15:33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour . [Luke 23:44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [John 19:14] And it was the preparation of the passover , and about the sixth hour : and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! (6th to 9th hour was 12 noon to 3 PM. This day was the day of His crucifixion and by 3 PM, He is dead)
Matthew 27:46-51, Mark 15:34, 37-38, Luke 23:45-46, John 19:30-33 (Wednesday) [Matthew 27:46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [27:47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. [27:48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. [27:49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. [27:50] Jesus , when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost . [27:51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; [Mark 15:34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [15:37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. [15:38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
See above (Wednesday) [Luke 23:45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. [23:46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost . [John 19:30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost . [19:31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation , that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. [19:32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. [19:33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: (Wednesday afternoon about 3 PM)
Matthew 27:57-60, Mark 15:42-43, Luke 23:54, John 19:38-42 (Wednesday) [Matthew 27:57] When the even was come , there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: [27:58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. [27:59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, [27:60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. [Mark 15:42] And now when the even was come , because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath , [15:43] Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. [Luke 23:54] And that day was the preparation , and the sabbath drew on.
See above (Wednesday) [John 19:38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. [19:39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. [19:40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. [19:41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [19:42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day ; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. (Wednesday was the day before the yearly sabbath, which would occur on Thursday. These events occurred after 6 PM Wednesday evening, which would actually make the day to be Thursday in Jewish time.)
Matthew 27:62-64, Luke 23:56 (Thursday) [Matthew 27:62] Now the next day , that followed the day of the preparation , the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, [27:63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. [27:64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. [Luke 23:56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. (This would have made Wednesday the day of preparation for the annual sabbath, which in the year of Christ's crucifixion, would be Thursday. Therefore, He was dead the whole 24 hours of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Jewish time, which was 6 PM Wednesday until 6 PM Saturday, modern time.)
Matthew 28:1-6, Mark 16:1-4, Luke 24:1-3, John 20:1 (Sunday) [Matthew 28:1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week , came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. [28:2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. [28:3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: [28:4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. [28:5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. [28:6] He is not here : for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (Scripture does not say that He was resurrected on Sunday morning, but that He was not there when the woman came to the tomb very early in the morning. His resurrection could have occurred as early as 6 PM on Saturday evening, thus fulfilling the prophesied 3 days & 3 nights.)
See above (Sunday) [Mark 16:1] And when the sabbath was past , Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. [16:2] And very early in the morning the first day of the week , they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun . [16:3] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? [16:4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away : for it was very great. [Luke 24:1] Now upon the first day of the week , very early in the morning , they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. [24:2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. [24:3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. (When the weekly sabbath, Saturday, was past.)
John 20:1-9 (Sunday) [John 20:1] The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark , unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. [20:2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter , and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved , and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. [20:3] Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. [20:4] So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. [20:5] And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. [20:6] Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, [20:7] And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. [20:8] Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
See above (Sunday) [20:9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. (The empty tomb)
John 20:11-18 (Sunday) [20:11] But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, [20:12] And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. [20:13] And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him. [20:14] And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. [20:15] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. [20:16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
See above (Sunday) [20:17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. [20:18] Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her. (Mary Magadalene sees the risen Lord)
Luke 24:13-35 (Sunday) [24:13] And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. [24:14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened. [24:15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. [24:16] But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. [24:17] And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? [24:18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? [24:19] And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: [24:20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
See above (Sunday) [24:21] But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. [24:22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; [24:23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. [24:24] And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. [24:25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: [24:26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? [24:27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. [24:28] And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
See above (Sunday) [24:29] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. [24:30] And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. [24:31] And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. [24:32] And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? [24:33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, [24:34] Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. [24:35] And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. (Sunday, the two disciples on the road to Emmaus)
John 20:19-24 (Sunday) [20:19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week , when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. [20:20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD. [20:21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. [20:22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: [20:23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. [20:24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. (Jesus appears to the 10 disciples, Thomas not present)
John 20:25-29 (Monday) [20:25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. [20:26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. [20:27] Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [20:28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God. [20:29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (Jesus appears to the 11 disciples, Thomas present)
John 21:1-4, 14 [21:1] After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. [21:2] There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. [21:3] Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. [21:4] But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. [21:14] This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. (Jesus showed Himself to some of the disciples)
Luke 24:50-51, Acts 1:9-11 [Luke 24:50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. [24:51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. [Acts 1:9] And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. [1:10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; [1:11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Jesus' ascension)
