THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

8:5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

8:14And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

8:15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

9:2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

9:3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

9:4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

9:5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

9:6But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

9:10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

9:11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

9:12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

9:13But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

9:14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

9:15And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

9:16No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

9:17Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

15:1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

15:2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

15:3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

15:4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

15:5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

15:6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

15:7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

15:8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

15:9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

15:10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

15:11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

15:12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

15:13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

15:14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

15:15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

15:16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

15:17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

15:18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

15:19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

15:20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
