KING JAMES VERSION
The Gospel of Matthew | Next
Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
The beginning of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; |
|
|
2 |
As it is written in
the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee. |
|
3 |
The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight. |
|
4 |
John did baptize in
the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of
sins. |
|
5 |
And there went out
unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all
baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. |
|
6 |
And John was clothed
with camel’s
hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts
and wild honey; |
|
7 |
And preached,
saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. |
|
8 |
I indeed have
baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. |
|
9 |
And it came to pass
in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of
John in Jordan. |
|
10 |
And straightway
coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a
dove descending upon him: |
|
11 |
And there came a
voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased. |
|
12 |
And immediately the
Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. |
|
13 |
And he was there in
the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts;
and the angels ministered unto him. |
|
14 |
Now after that John
was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the
kingdom of God, |
|
15 |
And saying,
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
|
|
16 |
Now as he walked by
the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into
the sea: for they were fishers. |
|
17 |
And Jesus said unto
them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to
become fishers of men. |
|
18 |
And straightway they
forsook their nets, and followed him. |
|
19 |
And when he had gone
a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. |
|
20 |
And straightway he
called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired
servants, and went after him. |
|
21 |
And they went into
Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue,
and taught. |
|
22 |
And they were
astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority,
and not as the scribes. |
|
23 |
And there was in
their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, |
|
24 |
Saying, Let us
alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come
to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. |
|
25 |
And Jesus rebuked
him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him. |
|
26 |
And when the unclean
spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. |
|
27 |
And they were all
amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing
is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even
the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. |
|
28 |
And immediately his
fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. |
|
29 |
And forthwith, when
they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon
and Andrew, with James and John. |
|
30 |
But Simon’s
wife’s
mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. |
|
31 |
And he came and took
her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and
she ministered unto them. |
|
32 |
And at even, when
the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that
were possessed with devils. |
|
33 |
And all the city was
gathered together at the door. |
|
34 |
And he healed many
that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered
not the devils to speak, because they knew him. |
|
35 |
And in the morning,
rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a
solitary place, and there prayed. |
|
36 |
And Simon and they
that were with him followed after him. |
|
37 |
And when they had
found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
|
|
38 |
And he said unto
them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may
preach there also: for therefore came I forth. |
|
39 |
And he preached in
their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
|
|
40 |
And there came a
leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him,
If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
|
|
41 |
And Jesus, moved
with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him,
I will; be thou clean. |
|
42 |
And as soon as he
had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
|
|
43 |
And he straitly
charged him, and forthwith sent him away; |
|
44 |
And saith unto him,
See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way,
shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which
Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. |
|
45 |
But he went out, and
began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that
Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert
places: and they came to him from every quarter.
