Repentance and death of Judas.

MATTHEW, XXVI. 2 And when they had bound him, they A. D. 33. ed him away, and delivered him b to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury

8 Wherefore that field was called. The field of blood, unto this day.

9 (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, 2 whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.)

11 And Jesus stood before the governor : and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou savest.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gather ed unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crow of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked d him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit e upon him, and took
the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked
him, they took the robe off from ham,

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor mar elled greatly.

15 Now p at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

34 They gave him vinegar to driuk, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And k they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down, they watched him there;

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging o their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mock. ing q him, with the scribes and elders, said 42 He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let s him deliver him now, if he will have him for he said, t I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness v over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, x My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them rail, and took a sponge, and filled it with y vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to Irink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil b of the femple was rent c in twain, from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver q said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

5 And the angel answered e and said. unto the women, Fear not ye for f I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. g Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen i from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there k shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. m And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid go tell my brethren, o that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see

me.

11 Now when they were going, behold. some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the sol diers,

14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus q came into Galilee, preaching the gospel r of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The times is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent t ye, and believe u the gospel. 16 Now v as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: (fort 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 ntered into the synagogue, and taught.

23 And b 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 k 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 toge ther 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, 3 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 w came I forth. 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out de

40 And x 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, ard touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, in.. mediately y the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath-day that which is not lawful?

25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, n when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?

26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high-priest, and did eat the shew-bread, o which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, q and not r man for the sabbath:

28 Therefore s the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

CHAP. III.

AND t he entered again into the syna gogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

2 And they watched v him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath-day; that they might accuse him.

3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, 2 Stand forth.

4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-days, or to do evil? to save life, w or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness 3 of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

6 And the Pharisees went forth, &straightway took counsel with the z Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great c multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idu mea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

27 No w man can enter into a strong 61.1. man's house, and spoil his goods, except Mat.12.29. he will first bind the strong man; and x Job 19.28. then he will spoil his house. y Mat.12.31. 28 Verily I say unto you, All y sins Lu.12.10. shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and 2 Job 27.10. blasphemies wherewith soever they shall a 2Ti.1.15. blaspheme: b He.10.29. c Lu.14.18-20.

34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

The Parable of the Sower. 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the b fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 And some fell on stony e ground, where it had not much earth; and im mediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and f because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns; h and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And other fell on good i ground, and did yield fruit I that sprang up and increased, and brought forth, sonie thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10 Ana m when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11 And he said unto them, Unto o you it is given to know the mystery of the king. dom of God: but unto them that are with out, pall these things are done in parables. 12 That r seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14 The sower t soweth the word.

15 And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh v iminediately, and taketh away u the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are Sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root x in themselves, and so endure but z for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately a they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word, 19 And the c cares of this world, and the deceitfulness d of riches, and the e lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. g

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word,and receive it, & bring forth fruit,h some thir ty-fold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a 3 bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
