Luke 12 (kjv)

In^G1722 the mean time^G3739, when there were gathered together^G1996 an innumerable multitude^G3461 of people^G3793, insomuch that^G5620 they trode^G2662 one upon another^G240, he began^G756 to say^G3004 unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101 first of all^G4412, Beware^G4337 ye^G1438 of^G575 the leaven^G2219 of the Pharisees^G5330, which^G3748 is^G2076 hypocrisy^G5272.²For^G1161 there is^G2076 nothing^G3762 covered^G4780, that^G3739 shall^G601 not^G3756 be revealed^G601; neither^G2532 hid^G2927, that^G3739 shall^G1097 not^G3756 be known^G1097.³Therefore^{G473 G3739} whatsoever^G3745 ye have spoken^G2036 in^G1722 darkness^G4653 shall be heard^G191 in^G1722 the light^G5457; and^G2532 that which^G3739 ye have spoken^G2980 in^G4314 the ear^G3775 in^G1722 closets^G5009 shall be proclaimed^G2784 upon^G1909 the housetops^G1430.⁴And^G1161 I say^G3004 unto you^G5213 my^G3450 friends^G5384, Be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399 of them^G575 that kill^G615 the body^G4983, and^G2532 after^G3326 that^G5023 have^G2192 no^{G3361 G5100} more^G4055 that they can do^G4160.⁵But^G1161 I will forewarn^G5263 you^G5213 whom^G5101 ye shall fear^G5399: Fear^G5399 him, which after^G3326 he hath killed^G615 hath^G2192 power^G1849 to cast^G1685 into^G1519 hell^G1067; yea^G3483, I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, Fear^G5399 him^G5126.⁶Are^G4453 not^G3780 five^G4002 sparrows^G4765 sold^G4453 for two^G1417 farthings^G787, and^G2532 not^G3756 one^G1520 of^G1537 them^G846 is^G2076 forgotten^G1950 before^G1799 God^G2316?⁷But^G235 even the very^G2532 hairs^G2359 of your^G5216 head^G2776 are^G705 all^G3956 numbered^G705. Fear^G5399 not^G3361 therefore^G3767: ye are of more value^G1308 than many^G4183 sparrows^G4765.⁸Also^G1161 I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, Whosoever^{G3956 G3739 G302} shall confess^{G3670 G1722} me^G1698 before^G1715 men^G444,^G1722 him^G846 shall^G3670 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 also^G2532 confess^G3670 before^G1715 the angels^G32 of God^G2316:⁹But^G1161 he that denieth^G720 me^G3165 before^G1799 men^G444 shall be denied^G533 before^G1799 the angels^G32 of God^G2316.¹⁰And^G2532 whosoever^{G3956 G3739} shall speak^G2046 a word^G3056 against^G1519 the Son^G5207 of man^G444, it shall be forgiven^G863 him^G846: but^G1161 unto him that blasphemeth^G987 against^G1519 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 it shall^G863 not^G3756 be forgiven^G863.¹¹And^G1161 when^G3752 they bring^G4374 you^G5209 unto^G1909 the synagogues^G4864, and^G2532 unto magistrates^G746, and^G2532 powers^G1849, take^G3309 ye no^G3361 thought^G3309 how^G4459 or^G2228 what thing^G5101 ye shall answer^G626, or^G2228 what^G5101 ye shall say^G2036:¹²For^G1063 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 shall teach^G1321 you^G5209 in^G1722 the same^G846 hour^G5610 what^G3739 ye ought^G1163 to say^G2036.¹³And^G1161 one^G5100 of^G1537 the company^G3793 said^G2036 unto him^G846, Master^G1320, speak^G2036 to my^G3450 brother^G80, that he divide^G3307 the inheritance^G2817 with^G3326 me^G1700.¹⁴And^G1161 he said^G2036 unto him^G846, Man^G444, who^G5101 made^G2525 me^G3165 a judge^G1348 or^G2228 a divider^G3312 over^G1909 you^G5209?¹⁵And^G1161 he said^G2036 unto^G4314 them^G846, Take heed^G3708, and^G2532 beware^G5442 of^G575 covetousness^G4124: for^G3754 a man's^{G5100 G846} life^G2222 consisteth^G2076 not^G3756 in^G1722 the abundance^G4052 of^G1537 the things which he^G846 possesseth^G5224.¹⁶And^G1161 he spake^G2036 a parable^G3850 unto^G4314 them^G846, saying^G3004, The ground^G5561 of a certain^G5100 rich^G4145 man^G444 brought forth plentifully^G2164:¹⁷And^G2532 he thought^G1260 within^G1722 himself^G1438, saying^G3004, What^G5101 shall I do^G4160, because^G3754 I have^G2192 no^G3756 room where^G4226 to bestow^G4863 my^G3450 fruits^G2590?¹⁸And^G2532 he said^G2036, This^G5124 will I do^G4160: I will pull down^G2507 my^G3450 barns^G596, and^G2532 build^G3618 greater^G3187; and^G2532 there^G1563 will I bestow^G4863 all^G3956 my^G3450 fruits^G1081 and^G2532 my^G3450 goods^G18.¹⁹And^G2532 I will say^G2046 to my^G3450 soul^G5590, Soul^G5590, thou hast^G2192 much^G4183 goods^G18 laid up^G2749 for^G1519 many^G4183 years^G2094; take thine ease^G373, eat^G5315, drink^G4095, and be merry^G2165.²⁰But^G1161 God^G2316 said^G2036 unto him^G846, Thou fool^G878, this^G5026 night^G3571 thy^G4675 soul^G5590 shall be required^G523 of^G575 thee^G4675: then^G1161 whose^G5101 shall those things be^G2071, which^G3739 thou hast provided^G2090?²¹So^G3779 is he that layeth up treasure^G2343 for himself^G1438, and^G2532 is^G4147 not^G3361 rich^G4147 toward^G1519 God^G2316.²²And^G1161 he said^G2036 unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101, Therefore^{G1223 G5124} I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, Take^G3309 no^G3361 thought^G3309 for your^G5216 life^G5590, what^G5101 ye shall eat^G5315; neither^G3366 for the body^G4983, what^G5101 ye shall put on^G1746.²³The life^G5590 is^G2076 more^G4119 than meat^G5160, and^G2532 the body^G4983 is more than raiment^G1742.²⁴Consider^G2657 the ravens^G2876: for^G3754 they neither^G3756 sow^G4687 nor^G3761 reap^G2325; which^G3739 neither^G3756 have^G2076 storehouse^G5009 nor^G3761 barn^G596; and^G2532 God^G2316 feedeth^G5142 them^G846: how much^G4214 more^G3123 are^G1308 ye^G5210 better than^G1308 the fowls^G4071?²⁵And^G1161 which^G5101 of^G1537 you^G5216 with taking thought^G3309 can^G1410 add^G4369 to^G1909 his^G846 stature^G2244 one^G1520 cubit^G4083?²⁶If^G1487 ye then^G3767 be^G1410 not^G3777 able to do^G1410 that thing which is least^G1646, why^G5101 take ye thought^G3309 for^G4012 the rest^G3062?²⁷Consider^G2657 the lilies^G2918 how^G4459 they grow^G837: they toil^G2872 not^G3756, they spin^G3514 not^G3761; and yet^G1161 I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, that Solomon^G4672 in^G1722 all^G3956 his^G846 glory^G1391 was^G4016 not^G3761 arrayed^G4016 like^G5613 one^G1520 of these^G5130.²⁸If^G1487 then^G1161 God^G2316 so^G3779 clothe^G294 the grass^G5528, which^G5607 is to day^G4594 in^G1722 the field^G68, and^G2532 to morrow^G839 is cast^G906 into^G1519 the oven^G2823; how much^G4214 more^G3123 will he clothe you^G5209, O ye of little faith^G3640?²⁹And^G2532 seek^G2212 not^G3361 ye^G5210 what^G5101 ye shall eat^G5315, or^G2228 what^G5101 ye shall drink^G4095,^G2532 neither^G3361 be ye of doubtful mind^G3349.³⁰For^G1063 all^G3956 these things^G5023 do^G1934 the nations^G1484 of the world^G2889 seek after^G1934: and^G1161 your^G5216 Father^G3962 knoweth^G1492 that^G3754 ye have need^G5535 of these things^G5130.³¹But rather^G4133 seek ye^G2212 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316; and^G2532 all^G3956 these things^G5023 shall be added^G4369 unto you^G5213.³²Fear^G5399 not^G3361, little^G3398 flock^G4168; for^G3754 it is^G2106 your^G5216 Father's^G3962 good pleasure^G2106 to give^G1325 you^G5213 the kingdom^G932.³³Sell^G4453 that ye^G5216 have^G5224, and^G2532 give^G1325 alms^G1654; provide^G4160 yourselves^G1438 bags^G905 which wax^G3822 not^G3361 old^G3822, a treasure^G2344 in^G1722 the heavens^G3772 that faileth not^G413, where^G3699 no^G3756 thief^G2812 approacheth^G1448, neither^G3761 moth^G4597 corrupteth^G1311.³⁴For^G1063 where^G3699 your^G5216 treasure^G2344 is^G2076, there^G1563 will^G2071 your^G5216 heart^G2588 be^G2071 also^G2532.³⁵Let^G2077 your^G5216 loins^G3751 be^G2077 girded about^G4024, and^G2532 your lights^G3088 burning^G2545;³⁶And^G2532 ye yourselves^G5210 like^G3664 unto men^G444 that wait^G4327 for their^G1438 lord^G2962, when^G4219 he will return^G360 from^G1537 the wedding^G1062; that^G2443 when he cometh^G2064 and^G2532 knocketh^G2925, they may open^G455 unto him^G846 immediately^G2112.³⁷Blessed^G3107 are those^G1565 servants^G1401, whom^G3739 the lord^G2962 when he cometh^G2064 shall find^G2147 watching^G1127: verily^G281 I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 he shall gird himself^G4024, and^G2532 make^G347 them^G846 to sit down to meat^G347, and^G2532 will come forth^G3928 and serve^G1247 them^G846.³⁸And^G2532 if^G1437 he shall come^G2064 in^G1722 the second^G1208 watch^G5438, or^G2532 come^G2064 in^G1722 the third^G5154 watch^G5438, and^G2532 find^G2147 them so^G3779, blessed^G3107 are^G1526 those^G1565 servants^G1401.³⁹And^G1161 this^G5124 know^G1097, that^G3754 if^G1487 the goodman of the house^G3617 had known^G1492 what^G4169 hour^G5610 the thief^G2812 would come^G2064,^G302 he would have watched^G1127, and^{G2532 G302} not^G3756 have suffered^G863 his^G846 house^G3624 to be broken through^G1358.⁴⁰Be^G1096 ye^G5210 therefore^G3767 ready^G2092 also^G2532: for^{G3754 G3739} the Son^G5207 of man^G444 cometh^G2064 at an hour^G5610 when ye think^G1380 not^G3756.⁴¹Then^G1161 Peter^G4074 said^G2036 unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, speakest thou^G3004 this^G5026 parable^G3850 unto^G4314 us^G2248, or^G2228 even^G2532 to^G4314 all^G3956?⁴²And^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036, Who^G5101 then^G686 is^G2076 that faithful^G4103 and^G2532 wise^G5429 steward^G3623, whom^G3739 his lord^G2962 shall make ruler^G2525 over^G1909 his^G846 household^G2322, to give^G1325 them their portion of meat^G4620 in^G1722 due season^G2540?⁴³Blessed^G3107 is that^G1565 servant^G1401, whom^G3739 his^G846 lord^G2962 when he cometh^G2064 shall find^G2147 so^G3779 doing^G4160.⁴⁴Of a truth^G230 I say^G3004 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 he will make him^G846 ruler^G2525 over^G1909 all^G3956 that he^G846 hath^G5224.⁴⁵But and^G1161 if^G1437 that^G1565 servant^G1401 say^G2036 in^G1722 his^G846 heart^G2588, My^G3450 lord^G2962 delayeth^G5549 his coming^G2064; and^G2532 shall begin^G756 to beat^G5180 the menservants^G3816 and^G2532 maidens^G3814, and^G5037 to eat^G2068 and^G2532 drink^G4095, and^G2532 to be drunken^G3182;⁴⁶The lord^G2962 of that^G1565 servant^G1401 will come^G2240 in^G1722 a day^G2250 when^G3739 he looketh^G4328 not^G3756 for^G4328 him, and^G2532 at^G1722 an hour^G5610 when^G3739 he is^G1097 not^G3756 aware^G1097, and^G2532 will cut^G1371 him^G846 in sunder^G1371, and^G2532 will appoint^G5087 him his^G846 portion^G3313 with^G3326 the unbelievers^G571.⁴⁷And^G1161 that^G1565 servant^G1401, which^G3588 knew^G1097 his^G1438 lord's^G2962 will^G2307, and^G2532 prepared^G2090 not^G3361 himself, neither^G3366 did^G4160 according^G4314 to his^G846 will^G2307, shall be beaten^G1194 with many^G4183 stripes.⁴⁸But^G1161 he that knew^G1097 not^G3361, and^G1161 did commit^G4160 things worthy^G514 of stripes^G4127, shall be beaten^G1194 with few^G3641 stripes. For^G1161 unto whomsoever^{G3739 G3956} much^G4183 is given^G1325, of^G3844 him^G846 shall be much^G4183 required^G2212: and^G2532 to whom men^G3739 have committed^G3908 much^G4183, of him^G846 they will ask^G154 the more^G4055.⁴⁹I am come^G2064 to send^G906 fire^G4442 on^G1519 the earth^G1093; and^G2532 what^G5101 will I^G2309, if^G1487 it be^G381 already^G2235 kindled^G381?⁵⁰But^G1161 I have^G2192 a baptism^G908 to be baptized with^G907; and^G2532 how^G4459 am I straitened^G4912 till^{G2193 G3739} it be accomplished^G5055 !⁵¹Suppose ye^G1380 that^G3754 I am come^G3854 to give^G1325 peace^G1515 on^G1722 earth^G1093? I tell^G3004 you^G5213, Nay^G3780; but^G235 rather^G2228 division^G1267:⁵²For^G1063 from^G575 henceforth^G3568 there shall be^G2071 five^G4002 in^G1722 one^G1520 house^G3624 divided^G1266, three^G5140 against^G1909 two^G1417, and^G2532 two^G1417 against^G1909 three^G5140.⁵³The father^G3962 shall be divided^G1266 against^G1909 the son^G5207, and^G2532 the son^G5207 against^G1909 the father^G3962; the mother^G3384 against^G1909 the daughter^G2364, and^G2532 the daughter^G2364 against^G1909 the mother^G3384; the mother in law^G3994 against^G1909 her^G846 daughter in law^G3565, and^G2532 the daughter in law^G3565 against^G1909 her^G846 mother in law^G3994.⁵⁴And^G1161 he said^G3004 also^G2532 to the people^G3793, When^G3752 ye see^G1492 a cloud^G3507 rise^G393 out of^G575 the west^G1424, straightway^G2112 ye say^G3004, There cometh^G2064 a shower^G3655; and^G2532 so^G3779 it is^G1096.⁵⁵And^G2532 when^G3752 ye see the south wind^G3558 blow^G4154, ye say^G3004,^G3754 There will be^G2071 heat^G2742; and^G2532 it cometh to pass^G1096.⁵⁶Ye hypocrites^G5273, ye can^G1492 discern^G1381 the face^G4383 of the sky^G3772 and^G2532 of the earth^G1093; but^G1161 how is it^G4459 that ye do not^G3756 discern^G1381 this^G5126 time^G2540?⁵⁷Yea^G1161, and why^G5101 even^G2532 of^G575 yourselves^G1438 judge ye^G2919 not^G3756 what is right^G1342?⁵⁸When^{G5613 G1063} thou goest^G5217 with^G3326 thine^G4675 adversary^G476 to^G1909 the magistrate^G758, as thou art in^G1722 the way^G3598, give^G1325 diligence^G2039 that thou mayest be delivered^G525 from^G575 him^G846; lest^G3379 he hale^G2694 thee^G4571 to^G4314 the judge^G2923, and^G2532 the judge^G2923 deliver^G3860 thee^G4571 to the officer^G4233, and^G2532 the officer^G4233 cast^G906 thee^G4571 into^G1519 prison^G5438.⁵⁹I tell^G3004 thee^G4671, thou shalt^G1831 not^G3364 depart^G1831 thence^G1564,^G2532 till^{G2193 G3739} thou hast paid^G591 the very last^G2078 mite^G3016.
