¹ The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

² Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

³ Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

⁴ So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

⁵ And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

⁶ Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

⁷ And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

⁸ Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

⁹ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

¹⁰ Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹ We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

² Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

³ For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

⁵ Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

⁶ That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

²⁷ And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

³¹ But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

³² As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

³³ And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

¹ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

² And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

³ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and {my} fatlings {are} killed, and all things {are} ready: come unto the marriage.

⁴ But they made light of {it}, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

⁵ And the remnant took his servants, and entreated {them} spitefully, and slew {them}.

⁶ But when the king heard {thereof}, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

⁷ Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

⁸ Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

⁹ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

¹⁰ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

¹¹ And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

¹² Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast {him} into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ For many are called, but few {are} chosen.

¹⁴ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in {his} talk.

¹⁵ And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any {man}: for thou regardest not the person of men.

¹⁶ Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

¹⁷ But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, {ye} hypocrites?

¹⁸ Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. {penny: in value seven pence halfpenny}

¹⁹ And he saith unto them, Whose {is} this image and superscription? {superscription: or, inscription}

²⁰ They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

²¹ When they had heard {these words}, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

²² The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

²³ Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁴ Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

²⁵ Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. {seventh: Gr. seven}

²⁶ And last of all the woman died also.

²⁷ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

²⁸ Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

²⁹ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

³⁰ But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

³¹ I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

³² And when the multitude heard {this}, they were astonished at his doctrine.

³³ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

³⁴ Then one of them, {which was} a lawyer, asked {him a question}, tempting him, and saying,

³⁵ Master, which {is} the great commandment in the law?

³⁶ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁷ This is the first and great commandment.

³⁸ And the second {is} like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

³⁹ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

⁴⁰ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

⁴¹ Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, {The Son} of David.

⁴² He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴³ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

⁴⁴ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁵ And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any {man} from that day forth ask him any more {questions}.
