Teachings of John the Baptist in the Gospel of Matthew

Matt. 3:1-6
1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair,
and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all
Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. [end par.]

Matt. 3:7-12
P 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of
vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And
think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to
raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but
he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but
he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. [end par.]
End Time Teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew
Matt. 4:12-17
P 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he
came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the
way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. P 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [end par.]
Matt. 4:23-24
P 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria:
and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were
possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Matt. 5:1-12
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he
opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed
are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain
mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 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. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you. [end par.]

Matt. 5:17-20
P 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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. 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.
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. [end par.]
Matt. 5:21-26
P 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: 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
 2

fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother
hath ought against thee; 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. 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. 26 Verily I
say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [end par.]

Matt. 5:27-32
P 27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 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. 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. 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. 31 It
hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 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. [end par.]
Matt. 5:48 [Not on List of Included Texts]
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matt. 6:9-15
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors. 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. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. [end par.]
Matt. 6:19-21
P 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through
and steal: 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: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matt. 6:31-33
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matt 7:1-5
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye
mete, it shall be measured to you again. 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? 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? 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.[par.]

Matt. 7:7-12
P 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 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? 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. [end par.]
Matt. 7:13-14
P 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: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it. [end par.]

Matt. 7:15-20
P 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth
 3

good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them. [end par.]

Matt. 7:21-23
P 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. 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? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I
never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [end par.]

Matt. 8:10-12
10 When Jesus heard it [the centurion's expression of faith], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the
kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matt. 9:1-8
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick
of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be
forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing
their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the
sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when
the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. [end par.]

Matt. 9:11-13
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go
ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
Matt. 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [end par.]
Matt. 10:5-23
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of
the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received,
freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 13 And if the
house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whosoever
shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that
city. P 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as
doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But
when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye
shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21 And the brother shall
deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them
to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the
cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Matt. 10:26-31
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And
fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul
 4

and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your
Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

Matt. 10:32-33
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But
whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matt. 10:34-36
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Matt. 10:37-42
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is
not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his
life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. P 40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's
reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I
say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. [end par.]
Matt. 11:1-6
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and
to preach in their cities. 2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3 And
said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and
shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me. [end par.]
Matt. 11:7-15
P 7 And as they [John's disciples] departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out
into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say
unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not
risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. [end par.]

Matt. 11:20-24
P 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe
unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre
and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have
remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of
judgment, than for thee. [end par.]
Matt. 11:25-27
P 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy
sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any
man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. [end par.]
Matt. 12:1-8 [Not on List of Included Texts]
1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the
 5

ears of corn, and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not
lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred,
and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful
for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that
on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this
place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye
would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Matt. 12:24-29
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to
desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided
against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children
cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of
God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind
the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Matt. 12:31-32
P 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against
the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be
forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in
the world to come.
Matt. 12:33-37
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known
by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out
of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned. [end par.]

Matt. 12:38-42
P 38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he
answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of
man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is
here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from
the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Matt. 13:1-9
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 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. 3 And he spake many things unto
them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and
the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they
sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had
no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell
into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear.

Matt. 13:10-17
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 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. 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 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear
not, neither do they understand. 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: 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
 6

with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed
are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 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.

Matt. 13:18-23
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 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. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy
receiveth it; 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. 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. 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. [end par.]

Matt. 13:24-30
P 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: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But
when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 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? 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? 29 But he
said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 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. [end par.]
Matt. 13:36-43
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. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
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;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As
therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 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; 42 And shall
cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the
sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. [end par.]
Matt. 13:47-50
P 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which,
when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall
it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 And shall cast
them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matt. 15:21-28
P 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 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. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send
her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table. 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.

Matt. 16:1-4
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the
morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky;
but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

Matt. 16:13-23
P 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? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of
the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 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. 19 And I will give unto
thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no
man that he was Jesus the Christ. P 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. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but those that be of men. [end par.]

Matt. 16:24-28
P 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange
for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every
man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they
see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. [end ch.]

Matt. 17:10-13
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and
they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. [end par.]

Matt. 17:22-23
P 22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 23
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. [end par.]
Matt. 18:2-9
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye
be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall
humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such
little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better
for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. P 7 Woe unto the
world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life
halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast
into hell fire.

Matt. 18:10-14
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold
the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if
a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more
of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. [end par.]
Matt. 18:15-20
P 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the
mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the
church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto
 8

you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them. [end par.]
Matt. 18:23-35
P 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And
when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he
had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the
same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him,
and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought
him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till
he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto
their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even
as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due
unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses. [end ch.]
Matt. 19:13-15
P 13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom
of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. [end par.]
Matt. 19:16-26
P 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack
I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for
he had great possessions. P 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter
into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than
for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all
things are possible. [end par.]
Matt. 19:27-30
P 27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have
therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when
the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for
my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 30 But many that are first shall be last; and
the last shall be first. [end ch.]
Matt. 20:13-16
13 But he [the lord of the vineyard] answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with
me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for
me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last:
for many be called, but few chosen. [end par.]
Matt. 20:17-19
P 17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up
to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him
to death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall
rise again. [end par.]

Matt. 20:20-23
P 20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of
him. 21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy
right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto
him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is
prepared of my Father.
Matt. 21:1-5
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples, 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. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the
foal of an ass.

Matt. 21:6-9
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down
branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 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.

Matt. 21:28-32
P 28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and
said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father?
They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the
kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the
publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
[end par.]

Matt. 21:33-44
P 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and
digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the
time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the
husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more
than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my
son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let
us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord
therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably
destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their
seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The
kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall
fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Matt. 22:1-14
1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain
king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and
they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared
my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of
it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated
them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and
destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which
were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the
 10

wedding was furnished with guests. P 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not
on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And
he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into
outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [end par.]
Matt. 22:23-33
P 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master,
Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now
there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife
unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not
read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
doctrine. [end par.]

Matt. 22:35-40
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great
commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. [end par.]

Matt. 22:41-46
P 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?
They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The
Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him
Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask
him any more questions. [end par.]

Matt. 23:13-15
P 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. 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. 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.

Matt. 23:29-39
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. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye
escape the damnation of hell? P 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: 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. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these
things shall come upon 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! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 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. [end ch.]

The Matthean End Time Discourse

Matt. 24:1-22
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. 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. P 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
 11

world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 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. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the
beginning of sorrows. 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. 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. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same 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. 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:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea 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: 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.

Matt. 24:23-28
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. 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. [end par.]
Matt. 24:29-36
P 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: 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. 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. 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: 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. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. P 36 But of that
day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matt. 24:37-51
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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, 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. P 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 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. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man
cometh. 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? 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; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 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, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [end ch.]
Matt 25:1-13
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no
oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered
and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all
those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are
 12

gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that
sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with
him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man cometh. [end par.]

Matt. 25:14-30
P 14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto
them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his
several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the
same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained another two. 18 But he
that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 After a long time the lord of those
servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents,
saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said
unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well
done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter
thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art
an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went
and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest
therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be
given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast
ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [end par.]

Matt. 25:31-46
P 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of
his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall
the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came
unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we
thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I
was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying,
Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto
thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these,
ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. [end ch.]
[End of Matthean End Time Discourse]
Matt. 26:19-30
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 20 Now when the even was
come, he sat down with the twelve. 21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 23 And he answered
and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 The Son of man goeth as it is written
of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been
born. 25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. P 26 And
as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is
my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood
of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth
of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 30 And when they had sung
an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

Matt. 26:47-56
P 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. 48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I
shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 51
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the
high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that
take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently
give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 55 In
that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat
daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the
prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. [end par.]

Matt. 26:62-66
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us
whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter
shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest
rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
Matt. 27:11-14
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus
said unto him, Thou sayest. 12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13 Then
said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14 And he answered him to never a
word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Matt. 27:33-50
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, P 34 They gave him vinegar
to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 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. 36 And sitting down they watched him there; 37 And set up over his head his
accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one
on the right hand, and another on the left. P 39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying,
Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the
cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he
cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in
God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which were
crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour. 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? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias. 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. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. P 50 Jesus, when he had
cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

Matt. 28:16-20
P 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when
they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth. P 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. [end of Gospel]
