Num
33:51 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass
over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Num
33:52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from
before you, and destroy all their figured stones,
and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high
places:
Num
33:53 and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein;
for I have given given the land to you to possess it.
Num
33:54 You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families;
to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you
shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man,
that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your
fathers.
Num
33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from
before you, then those you let remain of them will be as pricks in
your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in
the land in which you dwell.
Num
33:56 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do
to you.
Num
34:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
34:2 Command the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come
into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for
an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
Num
34:3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin
along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the
end of the Salt Sea eastward;
Num
34:4 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be
southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and
pass along to Azmon;
Num
34:5 and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of
Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
Num
34:6 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the
border of it:
this shall be your west border.
Num
34:7 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall
mark out for you Mount Hor;
Num
34:8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath;
and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
Num
34:9 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of
it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border.
Num
34:10 You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to
Shepham;
Num
34:11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the
east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to
the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
Num
34:12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out
of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to
its borders around it.
Num
34:13 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the
land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to
give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
Num
34:14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their
fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to
their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
have received, their inheritance:
Num
34:15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their
inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the
sunrise.
Num
34:16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
34:17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to
you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num
34:18 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land
for inheritance.
Num
34:19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
Num
34:20 Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
Num
34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Num
34:22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of
Jogli.
Num
34:23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of
Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Num
34:24 Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan.
Num

the son of Parnach.

son of Ammihud.
Num
34:29 These are they whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance
to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Numbers
35, 36
Num
35:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at
Jericho, saying,
Num
35:2 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of
the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and You shall
give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
Num
35:3 The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall
be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their
animals.
Num
35:4 The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites,
shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits
around it.
Num
35:5 You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two
thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for
the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two
thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them
the suburbs of the cities.
Num
35:6 The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be
the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to
flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
Num
35:7 All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be
forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
Num
35:8 Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of
the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from
the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance
which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites.
Num
35:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
35:10 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass
over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Num
35:11 then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee
there.
Num
35:12 The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that
the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for
judgment.
Num
35:13 The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of
refuge.
Num
35:14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall
give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of
refuge.
Num
35:15 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the
foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge;
that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
Num
35:16 But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he
died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Num
35:17 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may
die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put
to death.
Num
35:18 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by
which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer
shall surely be put to death.
Num
35:19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death:
when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Num
35:20 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait,
so that he died,
Num
35:21 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who
struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the
avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.
Num
35:22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him
anything without lying in wait,
Num
35:23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and
cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither
sought his harm;
Num
35:24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the
avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
Num
35:25 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the
hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him
to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell therein
until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy
oil.
Num
35:26 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of
his city of refuge, where he flees,
Num
35:27 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his
city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall
not be guilty of blood,
Num
35:28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until
the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest
the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Num
35:29 These things shall be for a statute and
ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Num
35:30 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the
mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any
person that he die.
Num
35:31 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer
who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
Num
35:32 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of
refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death
of the priest.
Num
35:33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood,
it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for
the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it.
Num
35:34 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst
of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children
of Israel.
Num
36:1 The heads of the fathers' houses
of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son
of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and
spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers'
houses of
the children of Israel:
Num
36:2 and they said, Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land for
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was
commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
to his daughters.
Num
36:3 If they be married to any of the sons of the other
tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be
taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to
the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it
be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
Num
36:4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will
their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Num
36:5 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of
Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
Num
36:6 This is the thing which Yahweh does command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they
think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall
they be married.
Num
36:7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from
tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to
the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Num
36:8 Every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of
the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every
man the inheritance of his fathers.
Num
36:9 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe;
for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave everyone to his
own inheritance.
Num
36:10 Even as Yahweh commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
Zelophehad:
Num
36:11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers'
sons.
Num
36:12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the
family of their father.
Num
36:13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yahweh
commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
the Jordan at Jericho.
Deuteronomy
1, 2
Deu
1:1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the
Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between
Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Deu
1:2 It is eleven days' journey
from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
Deu
1:3 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the
first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel,
according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them;
Deu
1:4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in
Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
Deu
1:5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare
this law, saying,
Deu
1:6 Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long
enough in this mountain:
Deu
1:7 turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the
Amorites, and to all the places
near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland,
and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites,
and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Deu
1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the
land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
Deu
1:9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you
myself alone:
Deu
1:10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this
day as the stars of the sky for multitude.
Deu
1:11 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as
many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
Deu
1:12 How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden,
and your strife?
Deu
1:13 Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your
tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
Deu
1:14 You answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is
good for us
to do.
Deu
1:15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and
made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and
officers, according to your tribes.
Deu
1:16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the
causes between your brothers, and judge
righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is
living with him.
Deu
1:17 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the
small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of
man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for
you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.
Deu
1:18 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should
do.
Deu
1:19 We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and
terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of
the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh
Barnea.
Deu
1:20 I said to you, You are come to the hill country of the
Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us.
Deu
1:21 Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you: go up,
take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to
you; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed.
Deu
1:22 You came near to me everyone of you, and said, Let us send men
before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word
again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we
shall come.
Deu
1:23 The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one
man for every tribe:
Deu
1:24 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to
the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Deu
1:25 They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought
it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land
which Yahweh our God gives to us.
Deu
1:26 Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment of
Yahweh your God:
Deu
1:27 and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yahweh hated
us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us
into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deu
1:28 Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart to
melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities
are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the
sons of the Anakim there.
Deu
1:29 Then I said to you, Don't dread, neither be afraid of them.
Deu
1:30 Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you,
according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
Deu
1:31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your
God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you
went, until you came to this place.
Deu
1:32 Yet in this thing you didn't believe Yahweh your God,
Deu
1:33 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to
pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you
should go, and in the cloud by day.
Deu
1:34 Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore,
saying,
Deu
1:35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation
see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
Deu
1:36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him
will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children,
because he has wholly followed Yahweh.
Deu
1:37 Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also
shall not go in there:
Deu
1:38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in
there: encourage you him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deu
1:39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and
your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they
shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess
it.
Deu
1:40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness
by the way to the Red Sea.
Deu
1:41 Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against
Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God
commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were
forward to go up into the hill country.
Deu
1:42 Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; for I
am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.
Deu
1:43 So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled
against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up
into the hill country.
Deu
1:44 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against
you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to
Hormah.
Deu
1:45 You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen
to your voice, nor gave ear to you.
Deu
1:46 So you abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that
you abode there.
Deu
2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the
way to the Red Sea, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount
Seir many days.
Deu
2:2 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
Deu
2:3 You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
Deu
2:4 Command the people, saying, You are to pass through the border
of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they
will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
Deu
2:5 don't contend with them; for I will not give you of their land,
no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I
have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Deu
2:6 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and
you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.
Deu
2:7 For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your
hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these
forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked
nothing.
Deu
2:8 So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who
dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion
Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Deu
2:9 Yahweh said to me, Don't bother Moab, neither contend with them
in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession;
because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
Deu
2:10 (The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and
tall, as the Anakim:
Deu
2:11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the
Moabites call them Emim.
Deu
2:12 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau
succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived
in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which
Yahweh gave to them.)
Deu
2:13 Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered. We went over the
brook Zered.
Deu
2:14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we were
come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the
generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the
camp, as Yahweh swore to them.
Deu
2:15 Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them
from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Deu
2:16 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead
from among the people,
Deu
2:17 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
Deu
2:18 You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
Deu
2:19 and when you come near over against the children of Ammon,
don't bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of
the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have
given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
Deu
2:20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived
therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Deu
2:21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh
destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in
their place;
Deu
2:22 as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he
destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and
lived in their place even to this day:
Deu
2:23 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the
Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived
in their place.)
Deu
2:24 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the
Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of
Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in
battle.
Deu
2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of
you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the
report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.
Deu
2:26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon
king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Deu
2:27 Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway,
I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
Deu
2:28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me
water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my
feet,
Deu
2:29 as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who
dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the
land which Yahweh our God gives us.
Deu
2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for
Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
Deu
2:31 Yahweh said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and
his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
Deu
2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to
battle at Jahaz.
Deu
2:33 Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him,
and his sons, and all his people.
Deu
2:34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed
every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left
none remaining:
Deu
2:35 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the
spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Deu
2:36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon,
and from
the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city
too high for us; Yahweh our God delivered up all before us:
Deu
2:37 only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn't come near;
all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country,
and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us.

Luke 12
Luk 12:1
Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together,
so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his
disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees,
which is hypocrisy.
Luk 12:2
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor
hidden, that will not be known.
Luk 12:3
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the
light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be
proclaimed on the housetops.
Luk 12:4
"I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the
body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luk 12:5
But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has
killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Luk 12:6
"Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of
them is forgotten by God.
Luk 12:7
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be
afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Luk 12:8
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the
Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
Luk 12:9
but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the
presence of the angels of God.
Luk 12:10
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Luk 12:11
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the
authorities, don't be anxious how or what you will answer, or what
you will say;
Luk 12:12
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must
say."
Luk 12:13
One of the multitude said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to
divide the inheritance with me."
Luk 12:14
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator
over you?"
Luk 12:15
He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for
a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he
possesses."
Luk 12:16
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth abundantly.
Luk 12:17
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't
have room to store my crops?'
Luk 12:18
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and
build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Luk 12:19
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many
years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry." '
Luk 12:20
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is
required of you. The things which you have prepared-whose will they
be?'
Luk 12:21
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward
God."
Luk 12:22
He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, don't be
anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what
you will wear.
Luk 12:23
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Luk 12:24
Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no
warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you
than birds!
Luk 12:25
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Luk 12:26
If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you
anxious about the rest?
Luk 12:27
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they
spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
Luk 12:28
But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today
exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he
clothe you, O you of little faith?
Luk 12:29
Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be
anxious.
Luk 12:30
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your
Father knows that you need these things.
Luk 12:31
But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Luk 12:32
Don't be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the Kingdom.
Luk 12:33
Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for
yourselves purses which don't grow old, a treasure in the heavens
that doesn't fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
Luk 12:34
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luk 12:35
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
Luk 12:36
Be like men watching for their lord, when he returns from the
marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately
open to him.
Luk 12:37
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he
comes. Most certainly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and
make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Luk 12:38
They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and
finds them so.
Luk 12:39
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour
the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his
house to be broken into.
Luk 12:40
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that
you don't expect him."
Luk 12:41
Peter said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or
to everybody?"
Luk 12:42
The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of
food at the right times?
Luk 12:43
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he
comes.
Luk 12:44
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Luk 12:45
But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,'
and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken,
Luk 12:46
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn't
expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn't know, and will cut him
in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Luk 12:47
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do
what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Luk 12:48
but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be
beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much
be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be
asked.
Luk 12:49
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already
kindled.
Luk 12:50
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am
until it is accomplished!
Luk 12:51
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you,
no, but rather division.
Luk 12:52
For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three.
Luk 12:53
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father;
mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother;
mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law."
Luk 12:54
He said to the multitudes also, "When you see a cloud rising
from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it
happens.
Luk 12:55
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,'
and it happens.
Luk 12:56
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth
and the sky, but how is it that you don't interpret this time?
Luk 12:57
Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?
Luk 12:58
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try
diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag
you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the
officer throw you into prison.
Luk 12:59
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have
paid the very last penny."
Luke 13
Luk 13:1
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the
Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
Luk 13:2
Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were
worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered
such things?
Luk 13:3
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the
same way.
Luk 13:4
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them;
do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who
dwell in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the
same way."
Luk 13:6
He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in
his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
Luk 13:7
He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come
looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why
does it waste the soil?'
Luk 13:8
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around
it, and fertilize it.
Luk 13:9
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it
down.' "
Luk 13:10
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Luk 13:11
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen
years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself
up.
Luk 13:12
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you
are freed from your infirmity."
Luk 13:13
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and
glorified God.
Luk 13:14
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed
on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six days in
which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed,
and not on the Sabbath day!"
Luk 13:15
Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each
one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath,
and lead him away to water?
Luk 13:16
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had
bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath
day?"
Luk 13:17
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and
all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done
by him.
Luk 13:18
He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I
compare it?
Luk 13:19
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his
own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the
sky lodged in its branches."
Luk 13:20
Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
Luk 13:21
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of
flour, until it was all leavened."
Luk 13:22
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and
traveling on to Jerusalem.
Luk 13:23
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He
said to them,
Luk 13:24
"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you,
will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
Luk 13:25
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the
door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door,
saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you,
'I don't know you or where you come from.'
Luk 13:26
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and
you taught in our streets.'
Luk 13:27
He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart
from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
Luk 13:28
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and
yourselves being thrown outside.
Luk 13:29
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit
down in the Kingdom of God.
Luk 13:30
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are
some who are first who will be last."
Luk 13:31
On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out
of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."
Luk 13:32
He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out
demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I
complete my mission.
Luk 13:33
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day,
for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'
Luk 13:34
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those
who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children
together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you
refused!
Luk 13:35
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not
see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord!' "
