  • I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

    But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

    Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
    markec
    markec
    For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

    The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

    And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
    markec
    markec
    Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

    And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
    markec
    markec
    And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

    Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
    And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

    And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
    markec
    markec
    Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

    And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
    markec
    markec
    and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

    And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
    And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

    Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

    And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
    markec
    markec
    And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

    And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
    markec
    markec
    By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

    For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
    markec
    markec
    And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

    Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
    And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

    And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
    markec
    markec
    And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

    And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
    markec
    markec
    And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

    And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
    The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

    And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
    markec
    markec
    And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

    And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
    markec
    markec
    And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

    And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
    There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

    And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

    And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
    markec
    markec
    And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

    For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
    And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

    And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
    markec
    markec
    When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
    The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

    As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

    The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
    markec
    markec
    John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

    And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

    And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
    markec
    markec
    And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

    I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
    Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

    And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

    They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

    But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

    While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
    markec
    markec
    And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

    Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

    And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

    But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
    markec
    markec
    And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

    Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

    But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

    Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
    But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

    Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

    Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
    markec
    markec
    Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

    This is the first and great commandment.

    And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
    Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
    markec
    markec
    And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

    And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

    But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
    And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

    And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

    He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
    markec
    markec
    Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

    Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
    markec
    markec
    But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
    How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
    markec
    markec
    And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

    Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
    The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

    He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
    markec
    markec
    And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

    A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
    The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

    And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
    I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
    markec
    markec
    For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
    We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

    And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
    markec
    markec
    And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
    And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

    But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

    But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
    markec
    markec
    Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

    For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

    To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

    Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
    markec
    markec
    Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

    That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
    markec
    markec
    Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

    Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

    But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

    For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

    A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
    Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

    Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
    markec
    markec
    For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
    But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

    From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

    For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

    Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
    markec
    markec
    This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

    And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

    Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
