1 Chronicles 13 1 And David consulted
with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and
with every leader.
2 And David said
unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem
good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send
abroad unto our brethren every where, that are
left in all the land of Israel, and with them also
to the priests and Levites which are in their
cities and suburbs, that they may gather
themselves unto us:
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us:
for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 And all the congregation said that they would do
so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the
people.
5 So David gathered all Israel together, from
Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to
bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that
is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to
Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between
the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart
out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the
cart.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with
all their might, and with singing, and with harps,
and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals,
and with trumpets.
9 ¶ And when they came unto the threshingfloor of
Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the
oxen stumbled.
10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him,
because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died
before God.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon
Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this
day.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying,
How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
13 So David brought not the ark home to
himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into
the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 And the ark of God remained with the family of
Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and all that he had.
1
Chronicles 14 1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David,
and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to
build him an house.
2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king
over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high,
because of his people Israel.
3 ¶ And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and
David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Now these are the names of his
children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab,
Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 ¶ And when the Philistines heard that David was
anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went
up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went
out against them.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves
in the valley of Rephaim.
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up
against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into
mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them
into thine hand.
11 So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote
them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine
enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters:
therefore they called the name of that place
Baal-perazim.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David
gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves
abroad in the valley.
14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God
said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them,
and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of
going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then
thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before
thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and
they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even
to Gazer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands;
and the LORD
brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Matthew 18 1 At the same time came
the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven?
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
21 ¶ Then came
Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto
him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until
seventy times seven.
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.
Matthew 19 1 And it came to pass, that
when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from
Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond
Jordan;
2 And great
multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 ¶ The Pharisees
also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is
it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered
and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them
at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For
this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they
are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto
him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of
divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto
them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto
you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth
commit adultery.
10 ¶ His disciples
say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his
wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto
them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they
to whom it is given.
12 For there are
some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were
made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have
made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Matthew 20 1 For the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers
into his vineyard.
2 And when he had
agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them
into his vineyard.
3 And he went out
about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace,
4 And said unto
them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is
right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out
about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the
eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day
idle?
7 They say unto
him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go
ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that
shall ye receive.
8 So when even was
come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward,
Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
beginning from the last unto the first.
9 And when they
came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny.
10 But when the
first came, they supposed that they should have received
more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 And when they
had received it, they murmured against the goodman
of the house,
12 Saying, These
last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made
them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat
of the day.
13 But he 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.
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.
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.
24 And when the ten
heard it, they were moved with indignation against
the two brethren.
25 But Jesus called
them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes
of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
that are great exercise authority upon them.
26 But it shall not
be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you,
let him be your minister;
27 And whosoever
will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28 Even as the Son
of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 And as they
departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 ¶ And, behold,
two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard
that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, thou son of David.
31 And the
multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us,
O Lord, thou son of David.
32 And Jesus stood
still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I
shall do unto you?
33 They say unto
him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 So Jesus had
compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.
