29. Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. 31. “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. 33. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— 21. by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

12. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13. Let no one say when he is tempted, “ I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full - grown, brings forth death. 16. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. 19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

1. And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2. Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question. 3. So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren. 4. And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them. 5. But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.” 6. Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. 7. And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8. So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, 9. and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” 39. And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? 40. A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. 41. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? 42. Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye, ’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye. 43. “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 46. “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord, ’ and not do the things which I say? 47. Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

1. Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” 2. So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 3. Give us day by day our daily bread. 4. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.” 5. And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6. for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7. and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8. I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs. 9. “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

16. Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17. So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18. He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder, ’ ‘You shall not commit adultery, ’ ‘You shall not steal, ’ ‘You shall not bear false witness, ’ 19. ‘Honor your father and your mother, ’a and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” 20. The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” 21. Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29. Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. 30. But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. 31. For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32.

And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. 14. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us. 16.

Stay here and watch with Me.” 39. He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40. Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41. Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42. Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43. And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44. So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45. Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46.

And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4. and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. ’ So they went. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day? ’ 7. They said to him, ‘ Because no one hired us. ’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive. ’ 8. “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first. ’ 9. And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11. And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, 12. saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day. ’ 13. But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14. Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good? ’ 16. So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” 17. Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, 18. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19. and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

22. No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24. but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25. that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30. Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31. But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

20. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22. “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; 23. who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24. who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

19. “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20. but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. 21. For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22. Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come— 23. that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

32. Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33. And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.” 35. He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36. And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” 37. Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? 38. Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39. Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. 40. And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him. 41. Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.” He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

1. When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2. And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3. Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?” 5. They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “ I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6. Now when He said to them, “ I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7. Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8. Jesus answered, “ I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” Whoever believes in the SON, have eternal life.

44. Then he says, ‘ I will return to my house from which I came. ’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” 46. While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48. But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49. And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

9. But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12. that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13. For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14. saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18. that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. 19. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20. where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

12. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13. but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters. 16. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. 17. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18. Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 19. Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

12. So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15. and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16. And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

5. Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6. saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” 7. And Jesus said to him, “ I will come and heal him.” 8. The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go, ’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come, ’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this, ’ and he does it.” 10. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11. And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13. Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

21. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 24. “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘ I will return to my house from which I came. ’ 25. And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.
