1
And those on the rock
2
are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
3
And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of
4
this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
5
And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
6
And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.
7
For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor
8
anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.
9
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.
10
And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.
11
And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
12
But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.
13
Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth.
14
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling
15
with water, and were in jeopardy.
16
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
17
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
18
And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee.
19
And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in
20
any house, but in the tombs.
21
And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.
22
For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.
23
And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.
24
And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.
25
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.
26
And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
27
And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
28
And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.
29
And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole.
30
And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.
31
But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,
32
Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.
33
And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
34
And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come into his house;
35
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him.
36
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,
37
came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.
38
And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush
39
thee.
40
But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.
41
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
42
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
43
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s
44
house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
45
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.
46
And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.
47
And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
48
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
49
But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise.
50
And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that
51
something be given her to eat.
52
And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.
53
And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
54
And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

1
And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
2
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;
3
give us our needed bread for each day;
4
and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.
5
And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,
6
since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;
7
and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?
8
— I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.
9
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.
11
But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?
12
or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?
13
If therefore ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb [man] spoke. And the crowds wondered.
15
But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.
16
And others tempting [him] sought from him a sign out of heaven.
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;
18
and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19
But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons — by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.
20
But if by the finger ofGod I cast out demons, then the kingdom ofGod is come upon you.
21
When the strong [man] armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;
22
but when the stronger than he coming upon [him] overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil [he has taken] from him.
23
He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24
When the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest; and not finding [any] he says, I will return to my house whence I came out.
25
And having come, he finds it swept and adorned.
26
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.
27
And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word ofGod and keep [it].
29
But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas.
30
For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31
A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.
32
Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.
33
But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
34
The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.
35
See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36
If therefore thy whole body [is] light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.
37
But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.
38
But the Pharisee seeing [it] wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.
39
But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward [parts] are full of plunder and wickedness.
40
Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also?
41
But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42
But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love ofGod: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.
43
Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.
44
Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know [it].
45
And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.
46
And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47
Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48
Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for they killed them, and ye build [their sepulchres].
49
For this reason also the wisdom ofGod has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,
50
that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52
Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.
53
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;
54
watching him, [and seeking] to catch something out of his mouth, [that they might accuse him].

1
Et factum est: cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis eius ad eum: Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Ioannes discipulos suos.
2
Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum.
3
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
4
Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
5
Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
6
quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum,
7
et ille deintus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, iam ostrium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
8
Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus eius sit, propter improbitatem tamen eius surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.
9
Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quærite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
10
Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
11
Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? Aut piscem: numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi?
12
Aut si petierit ovum: numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
13
Si ergo vos cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester de cælo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?
14
Et erat eiiciens dæmonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset dæmonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratæ sunt turbæ.
15
Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum eiicit dæmonia.
16
Et alii tentantes, signum de cælo quærebant ab eo.
17
Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.
18
Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere dæmonia.
19
Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio dæmonia: filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
20
Porro si in digito Dei eiicio dæmonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
21
Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea, quæ possidet.
22
Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet.
23
Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.
24
Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quærens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
25
Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
26
Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus.
27
Factum est autem, cum hæc diceret: extollens vocem quædam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter, qui te portavit, et ubera, quæ suxisti.
28
At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.
29
Turbis autem concurrentibus cœpit dicere: Generatio hæc, generatio nequam est: signum quærit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionæ prophetæ.
30
Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis: ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
31
Regina Austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
32
Viri Ninivitæ surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt ad prædicationem Ionæ, et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
33
Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio: sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant.
34
Lucerna corporis tui, est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit: si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.
35
Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sint.
36
Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te.
37
Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam Pharisæus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit.
38
Pharisæus autem cœpit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
39
Et ait Dominus ad illum: Nunc vos Pharisæi quod deforis est calicis, et catini, mundatis: quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina, et iniquitate.
40
Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id, quod deintus est, fecit?
41
Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
42
Sed væ vobis Pharisæis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et præteritis iudicium, et charitatem Dei: hæc autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
43
Væ vobis Pharisæis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
44
Væ vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quæ non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
45
Respondens autem quidam ex Legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, hæc dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
46
At ille ait: Et vobis Legisperitis væ: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quæ portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
47
Væ vobis, qui ædificatis monumenta Prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
48
Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem ædificatis eorum sepulchra.
49
Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos Prophetas, et Apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
50
ut inquiratur sanguis omnium Prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
51
a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, qui periit inter altare, et ædem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
52
Væ vobis Legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiæ, ipsi non introistis, et eos, qui introibant, prohibuistis.
53
Cum autem hæc ad illos diceret, cœperunt Pharisæi, et Legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis,
54
insidiantes ei, et quærentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.

1
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5
He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
8
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45
One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
46
He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill 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 to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52
Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

επειδη φιλος μου παρεγενετο εξ οδου προς με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω
7
κακεινος εσωθεν αποκριθεις ειπη μη μοι κοπους παρεχε ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εις την κοιτην εισιν ου δυναμαι αναστας δουναι σοι
8
λεγω υμιν ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστας δια το ειναι φιλον αυτου δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεις δωσει αυτω οσων χρηζει
9
καγω υμιν λεγω αιτειτε και δοθησεται υμιν ζητειτε και ευρησετε κρουετε και ανοιγησεται υμιν
10
πας γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιγησεται
11
τινα δε εξ υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιος ιχθυν μη αντι ιχθυος οφιν αυτω επιδωσει
12
η και αιτησει ωον επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον
13
ει ουν υμεις πονηροι υπαρχοντες οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδοναι τοις τεκνοις υμων ποσω μαλλον ο πατηρ [ο] εξ ουρανου δωσει πνευμα αγιον τοις αιτουσιν αυτον
14
και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον κωφον εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντος ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι
15
τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπαν εν βεεζεβουλ τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
16
ετεροι δε πειραζοντες σημειον εξ ουρανου εζητουν παρ αυτου
17
αυτος δε ειδως αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοις πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα ερημουται και οικος επι οικον πιπτει
18
ει δε και ο σατανας εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη πως σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου οτι λεγετε εν βεεζεβουλ εκβαλλειν με τα δαιμονια
19
ει δε εγω εν βεεζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο αυτοι υμων κριται εσονται
20
ει δε εν δακτυλω θεου [εγω] εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου
21
οταν ο ισχυρος καθωπλισμενος φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
22
επαν δε ισχυροτερος αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει εφ η επεποιθει και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν
23
ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
24
οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και μη ευρισκον [τοτε] λεγει υποστρεψω εις τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον
25
και ελθον ευρισκει [σχολαζοντα] σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
26
τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου επτα και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων
27
εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τις φωνην γυνη εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ους εθηλασας
28
αυτος δε ειπεν μενουν μακαριοι οι ακουοντες τον λογον του θεου και φυλασσοντες
29
των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν η γενεα αυτη γενεα πονηρα εστιν σημειον ζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα
30
καθως γαρ εγενετο [ο] ιωνας τοις νινευιταις σημειον ουτως εσται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη
31
βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτους οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνος και ιδου πλειον σολομωνος ωδε
32
ανδρες νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
33
ουδεις λυχνον αψας εις κρυπτην τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φως βλεπωσιν
34
ο λυχνος του σωματος εστιν ο οφθαλμος σου οταν ο οφθαλμος σου απλους η και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν επαν δε πονηρος η και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον
35
σκοπει ουν μη το φως το εν σοι σκοτος εστιν
36
ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον μη εχον μερος τι σκοτεινον εσται φωτεινον ολον ως οταν ο λυχνος τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε
37
εν δε τω λαλησαι ερωτα αυτον φαρισαιος οπως αριστηση παρ αυτω εισελθων δε ανεπεσεν
38
ο δε φαρισαιος ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου
39
ειπεν δε ο κυριος προς αυτον νυν υμεις οι φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακος καθαριζετε το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγης και πονηριας
40
αφρονες ουχ ο ποιησας το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν
41
πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην και ιδου παντα καθαρα υμιν εστιν
42
αλλα ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του θεου ταυτα δε εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη παρειναι
43
ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις
44
ουαι υμιν οτι εστε ως τα μνημεια τα αδηλα και οι ανθρωποι οι περιπατουντες επανω ουκ οιδασιν
45
αποκριθεις δε τις των νομικων λεγει αυτω διδασκαλε ταυτα λεγων και ημας υβριζεις
46
ο δε ειπεν και υμιν τοις νομικοις ουαι οτι φορτιζετε τους ανθρωπους φορτια δυσβαστακτα και αυτοι ενι των δακτυλων υμων ου προσψαυετε τοις φορτιοις
47
ουαι υμιν οτι οικοδομειτε τα μνημεια των προφητων οι δε πατερες υμων απεκτειναν αυτους
48
αρα μαρτυρες εστε και συνευδοκειτε τοις εργοις των πατερων υμων οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτους υμεις δε οικοδομειτε
49
δια τουτο και η σοφια του θεου ειπεν αποστελω εις αυτους προφητας και αποστολους και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και διωξουσιν
50
ινα εκζητηθη το αιμα παντων των προφητων το εκκεχυμενον απο καταβολης κοσμου απο της γενεας ταυτης
51
απο αιματος αβελ εως αιματος ζαχαριου του απολομενου μεταξυ του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου ναι λεγω υμιν εκζητηθησεται απο της γενεας ταυτης
52
ουαι υμιν τοις νομικοις οτι ηρατε την κλειδα της γνωσεως αυτοι ουκ εισηλθατε και τους εισερχομενους εκωλυσατε
53
κακειθεν εξελθοντος αυτου ηρξαντο οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι δεινως ενεχειν και αποστοματιζειν αυτον περι πλειονων
54
ενεδρευοντες αυτον θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματος αυτου

And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.'
2
And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;
3
our appointed bread be giving us daily;
4
and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.'
5
And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6
seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,
7
and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.
8
`I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;
9
and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
10
for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
11
`And of which of you--the father--if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?
12
and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?
13
If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'
14
And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,
15
and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;'
16
and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.
17
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;
18
and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.
19
`But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons--your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;
20
but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.
21
`When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;
22
but when the stronger than he, having come upon <FI>him<Fi> , may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;
23
he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.
24
`When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;
25
and having come, it findeth <FI>it<Fi> swept and adorned;
26
then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.'
27
And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!'
28
And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping <FI>it<Fi> !'
29
And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
30
for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
31
`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here!
32
`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!
33
`And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put <FI>it<Fi> in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.
34
`The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;
35
take heed, then, lest the light that <FI>is<Fi> in thee be darkness;
36
if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'
37
And in <FI>his<Fi> speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),
38
and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.
39
And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;
40
unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?
41
But what ye have give ye <FI>as<Fi> alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.
42
`But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.
43
`Woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.
44
`Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'
45
And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;'
46
and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, woe! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.
47
`Woe to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48
Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;
49
because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,
50
that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;
51
from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.
52
`Woe to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'
53
And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,
54
laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
