Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread. Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation. Luke 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; Luke 11:6 for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; Luke 11:7 and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee? Luke 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Luke 11:11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? Luke 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:14 And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled. Luke 11:15 But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons. Luke 11:16 And others, trying him, sought of him a sign from heaven. Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. Luke 11:18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
Luke 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. Luke 11:20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. Luke 11:21 When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: Luke 11:22 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. Luke 11:23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Luke 11:24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. Luke 11:25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Luke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. Luke 11:30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. Luke 11:31 The 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, a greater than Solomon is here. Luke 11:32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light. Luke 11:34 The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:35 Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness. Luke 11:36 If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
Luke 11:37 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. Luke 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner. Luke 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. Luke 11:40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also? Luke 11:41 But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you. Luke 11:42 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Luke 11:43 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces. Luke 11:44 Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not. Luke 11:45 And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.
Luke 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Luke 11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Luke 11:48 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their tombs. Luke 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they shall kill and persecute; Luke 11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. Luke 11:52 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Luke 11:53 And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things; Luke 11:54 laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Luke 12:2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Luke 12:3 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. Luke 12:5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. Luke 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: Luke 12:9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. Luke 12:10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. Luke 12:11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: Luke 12:12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. Luke 12:13 And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me. Luke 12:14 But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: Luke 12:17 and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
Luke 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? Luke 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Luke 12:23 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment. Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! Luke 12:25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? Luke 12:26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
Luke 12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? Luke 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. Luke 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Luke 12:31 Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; Luke 12:36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them. Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants. Luke 12:39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. Luke 12:40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. Luke 12:41 And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all? Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Luke 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Luke 12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. Luke 12:45 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; Luke 12:46 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. Luke 12:47 And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; Luke 12:48 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more. Luke 12:49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Luke 12:51 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: Luke 12:52 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. Luke 12:53 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:54 And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass. Luke 12:55 And when ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass. Luke 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time? Luke 12:57 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? Luke 12:58 For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison. Luke 12:59 I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite. Luke 13:1 Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Luke 13:2 And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things? Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish.
Luke 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:6 And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. Luke 13:7 And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? Luke 13:8 And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: Luke 13:9 and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day. Luke 13:11 And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. Luke 13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. Luke 13:13 And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Luke 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath. Luke 13:15 But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? Luke 13:17 And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. Luke 13:18 He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it? Luke 13:19 It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof. Luke 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? Luke 13:21 It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
Luke 13:22 And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem. Luke 13:23 And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them, Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; Luke 13:26 then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets; Luke 13:27 and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Luke 13:28 There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without. Luke 13:29 And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. Luke 13:30 And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
Luke 13:31 In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee. Luke 13:32 And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected. Luke 13:33 Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not! Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Luke 14:1 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him. Luke 14:2 And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy. Luke 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? Luke 14:4 But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Luke 14:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? Luke 14:6 And they could not answer again unto these things. Luke 14:7 And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them, Luke 14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him, Luke 14:9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. Luke 14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee. Luke 14:11 For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 14:12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. Luke 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: Luke 14:14 and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just. Luke 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Luke 14:16 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many: Luke 14:17 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. Luke 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused. Luke 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. Luke 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Luke 14:21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. Luke 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:24 For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper. Luke 14:25 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, Luke 14:26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? Luke 14:29 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, Luke 14:30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Luke 14:31 Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Luke 14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. Luke 14:33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:34 Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? Luke 14:35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Luke 15:1 Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him. Luke 15:2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. Luke 15:3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, Luke 15:4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance. Luke 15:8 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? Luke 15:9 And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost. Luke 15:10 Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Luke 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: Luke 15:12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. Luke 15:13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
Luke 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. Luke 15:15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. Luke 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. Luke 15:17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: Luke 15:19 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. Luke 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. Luke 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: Luke 15:23 and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: Luke 15:24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Luke 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. Luke 15:26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. Luke 15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. Luke 15:28 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. Luke 15:29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: Luke 15:30 but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. Luke 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. Luke 15:32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Luke 16:1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. Luke 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. Luke 16:3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. Luke 16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. Luke 16:5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? Luke 16:6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. Luke 16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. Luke 16:8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.
Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? Luke 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. Luke 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Luke 16:18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: Luke 16:20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, Luke 16:21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. Luke 16:23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame. Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
Luke 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. Luke 16:27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house; Luke 16:28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Luke 16:29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. Luke 17:1 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come! Luke 17:2 It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. Luke 17:4 And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you. Luke 17:7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat; Luke 17:8 and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Luke 17:9 Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded? Luke 17:10 Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do. Luke 17:11 And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. Luke 17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off: Luke 17:13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Luke 17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. Luke 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; Luke 17:16 and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. Luke 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? Luke 17:18 Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger? Luke 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Luke 17:20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luke 17:21 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. Luke 17:23 And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them: Luke 17:24 for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
