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