1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

<>vv. 1-3

2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

<>vv. 1-3, <>scribes, <>the Pharisees, <>seat

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

<>vv. 1-3, <>they say, and do not

4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

<>they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders, <>burdens

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

<>all their works they do for to be seen of men, <>phylacteries, <>the borders of their garments, <>garments

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

<>v. 6, <>rooms, <>feasts, <>chief

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

<>one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

<>v. 9

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

<>Neither be ye called masters

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

<>v. 11, <>servant

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

<>v. 12, <>he that shall humble himself shall be exalted, <>humble himself

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

<>hypocrites, <>hypocrites … ye neither go in yourselves, <>ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men … neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in, <>suffer

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

<>scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! … ye devour widows' houses … therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation, <>hypocrites … for a pretence make long prayer

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

<>compass

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

<>vv. 16,18, <>Woe unto you, ye blind guides, <>blind, <>swear … swear, <>the temple … the temple, <>debtor

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

<>vv. 16,18, <>the altar

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

<>the temple … and … him that dwelleth therein

22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

<>he that shall swear by heaven

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

<>tithe, <>not to leave the other undone

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

<>extortion, <>excess

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

<>cleanse first that which is within … that the outside of them may be clean also, <>be clean

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

<>vv. 27-28, <>dead

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

<>vv. 27-28

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

<>vv. 31-32, <>ye be witnesses unto yourselves, <>ye are the children of them which killed, <>children

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

<>vv. 31-32

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

<>v. 33, <>generation of vipers, <>how can ye escape the damnation of hell?, <>escape

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

<>I send unto you prophets, <>I send unto you … wise men, <>I send unto you … scribes, <>some of them shall ye … persecute … from city to city, <>persecute, <>city … city

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

<>That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, <>Zacharias son of Barachias, <>son

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

<>Verily, <>this generation

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

<>how often would I have gathered thy children together … and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

<>vv. 38-39

39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

<>vv. 38-39, <>see me, <>ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, <>Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

<>vv. 1-2, <>the temple … the temple, <>for to shew him the buildings of the temple

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

<>vv. 1-2, <>verily, <>stone

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

<>came unto him, <>thy coming, <>the end of the world

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

<>answered, <>Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

<>ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled, <>the end is not yet

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

<>there shall be famines, <>earthquakes

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

<>the beginning

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

<>they deliver you up to be afflicted, <>afflicted, <>shall kill you, <>ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

<>many false prophets shall rise

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

<>iniquity shall abound, <>shall abound, <>the love of many shall wax cold

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

<>v. 13, <>he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved, <>shall be saved

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

<>this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, <>this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached … for a witness unto all nations

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

<>the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, <>whoso readeth

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

<>flee into the mountains

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

<>the sabbath day

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

<>flesh be saved, <>for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

<>v. 24, <>there shall arise false Christs

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

<>vv. 29-31, <>the sun, <>the moon, <>the stars

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

<>vv. 29-31, <>the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

<>vv. 29-31, <>trumpet, <>shall gather together his elect, <>the four winds

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

<>parable, <>tree

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

<>This generation

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

<>Heaven and earth shall pass away, <>my words shall not pass away

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

<>the days of Noe, <>Noe

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

<>drinking, <>marriage

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

<>women

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

<>Watch therefore

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

<>thief, <>suffered

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

<>be ye also ready

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

<>servant, <>ruler over, <>over his household, <>meat in due season, <>meat, <>in due season

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

<>vv. 48-51, <>that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

<>vv. 48-51

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

<>vv. 48-51

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

<>vv. 48-51, <>hypocrites
