1 Et factum est cum esset in loco quodam orans
ut cessavit dixit unus ex discipulis eius ad eum
Domine doce nos orare
sicut et Iohannes docuit discipulos
suos
2 et ait illis cum oratis dicite
Pater sanctificetur nomen tuum
adveniat regnum tuum
3 panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis cotidie
4 et dimitte nobis peccata nostra
siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis
et ne nos inducas in temptationem
5 Et ait ad illos quis vestrum habebit amicum
et ibit ad illum media nocte et dicit illi
amice commoda mihi tres panes
6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me
et non habeo quod ponam ante illum
7 et ille de intus respondens dicat
noli mihi molestus esse
iam ostium clausum est et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili
non possum surgere et dare tibi
8 dico vobis et si non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus eius sit
propter inprobitatem tamen eius surget
et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios
9 Et ego vobis dico petite et dabitur vobis
quaerite et invenietis pulsate et aperietur vobis
10 omnis enim qui petit accipit
et qui quaerit invenit et pulsanti aperietur
11 quis autem ex vobis patrem petet panem
numquid lapidem dabit illi
aut piscem numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi
12 aut si petierit ovum
numquid porriget illi scorpionem
13 si ergo vos cum sitis mali nostis bona data dare filiis vestris
quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se
14 Et erat eiciens daemonium et illud erat mutum
et cum eiecisset daemonium locutus est mutus
et admiratae sunt turbae
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt
in Beelzebub principe daemoniorum eicit daemonia
16 Et alii temptantes signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo
17 Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum dixit eis
omne regnum in se ipsum divisum desolatur
et domus supra domum cadet
18 si autem et Satanas in se ipsum divisus est
quomodo stabit regnum ipsius
quia dicitis in Beelzebub eicere me daemonia
19 si autem ego in Beelzebub eicio daemonia filii vestri in quo eiciunt
ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt
20 porro si in digito Dei eicio daemonia
profecto praevenit in vos regnum Dei
21 cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum
in pace sunt ea quae possidet
22 si autem fortior illo superveniens vicerit eum
universa arma eius aufert in quibus confidebat
et spolia eius distribuit
23 qui non est mecum adversum me est
et qui non colligit mecum dispergit
24 Cum inmundus spiritus exierit de homine
perambulat per loca inaquosa
quaerens requiem et non inveniens dicit
revertar in domum meam unde exivi
25 et cum venerit invenit scopis mundatam
26 et tunc vadit
et adsumit septem alios spiritus nequiores se
et ingressi habitant ibi
et sunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus
27 Factum est autem cum haec diceret
extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi
beatus venter qui te portavit et ubera quae suxisti
28 at ille dixit
quippini beati qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt
29 Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere
generatio haec generatio nequam est signum quaerit
et signum non dabitur illi nisi signum Ionae
30 nam sicut Ionas fuit signum Ninevitis
ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti
31 regina austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius
et condemnabit illos
quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis
et ecce plus Salomone hic
32 viri ninevitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac
et condemnabunt illam
quia paenitentiam egerunt ad praedicationem Ionae
et ecce plus Iona hic
33 Nemo lucernam accendit et in abscondito ponit
neque sub modio
sed supra candelabrum ut qui ingrediuntur lumen videant
34 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus
si oculus tuus fuerit simplex totum corpus tuum lucidum erit
si autem nequam fuerit etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit
35 vide ergo ne lumen quod in te est tenebrae sint
36 si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit
non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum
erit lucidum totum
et sicut lucerna fulgoris inluminabit te
37 Et cum loqueretur
rogavit illum quidam Pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se
et ingressus recubuit
38 Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere
quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium
39 et ait Dominus ad illum
nunc vos Pharisaei quod de foris est calicis et catini mundatis
quod autem intus est vestrum plenum est rapina et iniquitate
40 stulti nonne qui fecit quod de foris est
etiam id quod de intus est fecit
41 verumtamen quod superest date elemosynam
et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis
42 Sed vae vobis Pharisaeis
quia decimatis mentam et rutam et omne holus
et praeteritis iudicium et caritatem Dei
haec autem oportuit facere et illa non omittere
43 Vae vobis Pharisaeis
quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis
et salutationes in foro
44 Vae vobis quia estis ut monumenta quae non parent
et homines ambulantes supra nesciunt
45 Respondens autem quidam ex legis peritis ait illi
magister haec dicens etiam nobis contumeliam facis
46 at ille ait et vobis legis peritis vae
quia oneratis homines oneribus quae portari non
possunt
et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas
47 Vae vobis quia aedificatis monumenta prophetarum
patres autem vestri occiderunt illos
48 profecto testificamini quod consentitis
operibus patrum vestrorum
quoniam quidem ipsi eos occiderunt
vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit
mittam ad illos prophetas et apostolos
et ex illis occident et persequentur
50 ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum
qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista
51 a sanguine Abel usque ad sanguinem Zacchariae
qui periit inter altare et aedem
ita dico vobis requiretur ab hac generatione
52 Vae vobis legis peritis quia tulistis clavem scientiae
ipsi non introistis et eos qui introibant
prohibuistis
53 Cum haec ad illos diceret
coeperunt Pharisaei et legis periti graviter insistere
et os eius opprimere de multis
54 insidiantes
et quaerentes capere aliquid ex ore eius
ut accusarent eum
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 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. 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 rise and give him as many as he needeth. 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. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 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?
14 ¶ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting him , sought of him a sign from heaven. 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. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 ¶ And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 ¶ And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 ¶ And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it , he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 ¶ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. 52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
