42:12 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,) (Mt 9:6; Mk 2:10; Lk 5:24)

42:13 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. (Mt 9:6; Mk 2:11; Lk 5:24)

42:14 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all, and departed to his house, glorifying God. (Mt 9:7; Mk 2:12; Lk 5:25)

42:15 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day, we never saw it on this fashion. (Mt 9:8; Mk 2:12; Lk 5:26)

UG 43. The call of Levi Matthew to the apostleship (Mt 9:9—13; Mk 2:13—17; Lk 5:27—32)

43:1 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. (Mk 2:13)

43:2 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a publican, named Levi Matthew the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. (Mt 9:9; Mk 2:14; Lk 5:27)

43:3 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. (Mt 9:9; Mk 2:14; Lk 5:28)

43:4 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. (Mt 9:10; Mk 2:15; Lk 5:29)

43:5 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? (Mt 9:11; Mk 2:16; Lk 5:30)

43:6 But when Jesus heard that, he answering said unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick, (Mt 9:12; Mk 2:17; Lk 5:31)

43:7 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: (Mt 9:13)

43:8 For I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mt 9:13; Mk 2:17; Lk 5:32)

UG 44. Answer to the disciples of John on fasting (Mt 9:14—17; Mk 2:18—22; Lk 5:33—39)

44:1 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thy disciples fast not, but thine eat and drink? (Mt 9:14; Mk 2:18; Lk 5:33)

44:2 And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast? Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. (Mt 9:15; Mk 2:19; Lk 5:34)

44:3 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. (Mt 9:15; Mk 2:20; Lk 5:35)

44:4 And he spake also a parable unto them; no man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old; for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. (Mt 9:16; Mk 2:21; Lk 5:36)

44:5 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. (Mt 9:17; Mk 2:22; Lk 5:37)

44:6 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. (Mt 9:17; Mk 2:22; Lk 5:38)

44:7 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. (Lk 5:39)

Events from Pentecost to second Passover

UG 45. Jesus Christ in Jerusalem on the feast of Pentecost. Healing of the paralytic around the Sheep pool (Jn 5:1—16)

45:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. (Jn 5:1)

45:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. (Jn 5:2)

45:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. (Jn 5:3)

45:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. (Jn 5:4)

45:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. (Jn 5:5)

45:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? (Jn 5:6)

45:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. (Jn 5:7)

45:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (Jn 5:8)

45:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. (Jn 5:9)

45:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. (Jn 5:10)

45:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. (Jn 5:11)

45:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? (Jn 5:12)

45:13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. (Jn 5:13)

45:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (Jn 5:14)

45:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. (Jn 5:15)

45:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. (Jn 5:16)

UG 46. The new message of Jesus Christ about himself (Jn 5:17—47)

46:1 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. (Jn 5:17)

46:2 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (Jn 5:18)

46:3 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (Jn 5:19)

46:4 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. (Jn 5:20)

46:5 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (Jn 5:21)

46:6 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: (Jn 5:22)

46:7 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. (Jn 5:23)

46:8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (Jn 5:24)

46:9 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (Jn 5:25)

46:10 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; (Jn 5:26)

46:11 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (Jn 5:27)

46:12 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (Jn 5:28)

46:13 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (Jn 5:29)

46:14 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (Jn 5:30)

46:15 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (Jn 5:31)

46:16 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. (Jn 5:32)

46:17 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. (Jn 5:33)

46:18 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. (Jn 5:34)

46:19 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. (Jn 5:35)

46:20 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. (Jn 5:36)

46:21 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. (Jn 5:37)

46:22 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. (Jn 5:38)

46:23 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (Jn 5:39)

46:24 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (Jn 5:40)

46:25 I receive not honour from men. (Jn 5:41)

46:26 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. (Jn 5:42)

46:27 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. (Jn 5:43)

46:28 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? (Jn 5:44)

46:29 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. (Jn 5:45)

46:30 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. (Jn 5:46)

46:31 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (Jn 5:47)

UG 47. About the meaning of the sabbath. Pluck the ears of corn (Mt 12:1—8; Mk 2:23—28; Lk 6:1—5)

47:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first [Pentecost], that Jesus went through the corn fields; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat, rubbing them in their hands. (Mt 12:1; Mk 2:23; Lk 6:1)

47:2 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. (Mt 12:2; Mk 2:24; Lk 6:2)

47:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, and they that were with him; (Mt 12:3; Mk 2:25; Lk 6:3)

47:4 How he entered into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? (Mt 12:4; Mk 2:26; Lk 6:4)

47:5 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? (Mt 12:5)

47:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. (Mt 12:6)

47:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. (Mt 12:7)

47:8 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: (Mk 2:27; Lk 6:5)

47:9 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. (Mt 12:8; Mk 2:28; Lk 6:5)

UG 48. Healing of the man with withered hand (Mt 12:9—13; Mk 3:1—5; Lk 6:6—10)

48:1 And when he was departed thence, it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: (Mt 12:9; Mk 3:1; Lk 6:6)

48:2 And, behold, there was a man whose right hand was withered. (Mt 12:10; Mk 3:1; Lk 6:6)

48:3 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether [Jesus] would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. (Mk 3:2; Lk 6:7)

48:4 And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. (Mt 12:10)

48:5 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. (Mk 3:3; Lk 6:8)

48:6 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? But they held their peace. (Mk 3:4; Lk 6:9)

48:7 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? (Mt 12:11)

48:8 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. (Mt 12:12)

48:9 And when he had looked round about on them all with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. (Mt 12:13; Mk 3:5; Lk 6:10)

UG 49. The pharisees’ anger and the people’s desire for Jesus (Mt 12:14—21; Mk 3:6—12; Lk 6:11)

49:1 And the Pharisees were filled with madness; and then they went out, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus, how they might destroy him. (Mt 12:14; Mk 3:6; Lk 6:11)

49:2 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself with his disciples from thence to the sea: (Mt 12:15; Mk 3:7)

49:3 And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and from Judaea, (Mt 12:15; Mk 3:7)

49:4 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. (Mk 3:8)

49:5 And he healed them all (Mt 12:15)

49:6 And charged them that they should not make him known: (Mt 12:16)

49:7 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, (Mt 12:17)

49:8 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles; (Mt 12:18)

49:9 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets; (Mt 12:19)

49:10 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory; (Mt 12:20)

49:11 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. (Mt 12:21)

49:12 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. (Mk 3:9)

49:13 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. (Mk 3:10)

49:14 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. (Mk 3:11)

49:15 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. (Mk 3:12)

UG 50. The election of 12 apostles (Mt 10:1—4; Mk 3:13—19; Lk 6:12—16)

50:1 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. (Mk 3:13; Lk 6:12)

50:2 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples whom he would, and they came unto him: (Mk 3:13; Lk 6:13)

50:3 and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles. (Mt 10:1; Mk 3:14; Lk 6:13)

50:4 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach. (Mk 3:14)

50:5 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast out devils, and power to heal sicknesses, to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Mt 10:1; Mk 3:15)

50:6 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; the first, Simon, (whom he also named Peter [Cephas],) (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:16; Lk 6:14)

50:7 And Andrew his brother; (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:14)

50:8 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder; (Mt 10:2; Mk 3:17; Lk 6:14)

50:9 Philip and Bartholomew; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:14)

50:10 Thomas and [Levi] Matthew the publican; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:11 James the son of Alphaeus, and (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:12 Judas (the [son] of James) Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; (Mt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:16)

50:13 Simon the Canaanite, called Zelotes, (Mt 10:4; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15)

50:14 And Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor, which betrayed him. (Mt 10:4; Mk 3:19; Lk 6:16)

UG 51. Sermon on a mountain (Mt 5:1—7:29; Lk 6:17—49)

51:1 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; (Lk 6:17)

51:2 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. (Lk 6:18)

51:3 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Lk 6:19)

51:4 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. (Mt 5:1)

51:5 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, (Mt 5:2; Lk 6:20)

51:6 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of God. (Mt 5:3; Lk 6:20)

51:7 Blessed are they that mourn [and] weep now: for they shall be comforted [and] laugh. (Mt 5:4; Lk 6:21)

51:8 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Mt 5:5)

51:9 Blessed are they which do hunger now and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Mt 5:6; Lk 6:21)

51:10 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Mt 5:7)

51:11 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mt 5:8)

51:12 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Mt 5:9)

51:13 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5:10)

51:14 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. (Mt 5:11; Lk 6:22)

51:15 Rejoice ye in that day, and be exceeding glad: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets which were before you. (Mt 5:12; Lk 6:23)

51:16 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. (Lk 6:24)

51:17 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. (Lk 6:25)

51:18 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Lk 6:26)

51:19 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Mt 5:13)

51:20 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Mt 5:14)

51:21 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (Mt 5:15)

51:22 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mt 5:16)

51:23 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Mt 5:17)

51:24 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. (Mt 5:18)

51:25 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. (Mt 5:19)

51:26 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. (Mt 5:20)

51:27 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: (Mt 5:21)

51:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Mt 5:22)

51:29 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; (Mt 5:23)

51:30 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Mt 5:24)

51:31 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. (Mt 5:25)

51:32 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. (Mt 5:26)

51:33 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: (Mt 5:27)

51:34 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Mt 5:28)

51:35 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. (Mt 5:29)

51:36 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. (Mt 5:30)

51:37 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: (Mt 5:31)

51:38 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. (Mt 5:32)

51:39 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: (Mt 5:33)

51:40 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: (Mt 5:34)

51:41 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (Mt 5:35)

51:42 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. (Mt 5:36)

51:43 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. (Mt 5:37)

51:44 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (Mt 5:38)

51:45 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn [and] offer to him the other also. (Mt 5:39; Lk 6:29)

51:46 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. (Mt 5:40; Lk 6:29)

51:47 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. (Mt 5:41)

51:48 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. (Mt 5:42; Lk 6:30)

51:49 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (Lk 6:31)

51:50 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. (Mt 5:43)

51:51 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you; (Mt 5:44; Lk 6:27)

51:52 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Mt 5:44; Lk 6:28)

51:53 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Mt 5:45)

51:54 For if ye love them which love you, what thank [or] reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? for sinners also love those that love them. (Mt 5:46; Lk 6:32)

51:55 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. (Lk 6:33)

51:56 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. (Lk 6:34)
