5. Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the sab bath, and are blameless?

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath-day,

9 T And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath-days? that they might accuse hin.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do wed on the sabbath-days.

13 Then saith he to the mai, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

22 T Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and be healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David ? 21 But when the Pharisees heard ¿, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand; 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; bow shall then his kingdom stand?

27 And if 1 by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29 Or else, how can one enter inton strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with ine, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad,

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, 'That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words, thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he auswered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother ? and who are my brethren ? 49 And he stretched forth his band toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went forth to sow: 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.

4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
