| | + | Matthew 9:2-8 |
| | + | |
| | + | And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This ''man'' blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, ''Thy'' sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw ''it'', they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. |
| | + | |
| | + | Matthew 16:24-27 |
| | + | |
| | + | Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any ''man'' will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall iind it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily, I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. |

| | + | Mark 2:1-12 |
| | + | |
| | + | AND again he entered into Capernaum after ''some'' days. And it was noised that he was in the house; and straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive ''them'', no, not 80 much as about the door; and he preached the word unto them. |
| | + | |
| | + | And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken ''it'' up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy. Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this ''man'' thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, ''Thy'' sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of |
| | + | the palsy.) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. |

| | + | Luke 1:67-79 |
| | + | |
| | + | And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, |
| | + | |
| | + | :Blessed ''be'' the Lord God of Israel: |
| | + | :For he hath visited and redeemed his people, |
| | + | :And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us—in the house of his servant David: |
| | + | :(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, |
| | + | :Which have been since the world began:) |
| | + | :That we should be saved from our enemies,—and from the hand of all that hate us; |
| | + | :To perform the mercy ''promised'' to our fathers, |
| | + | :And to remember his holy covenant; |
| | + | :The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, |
| | + | :That he would grant unto us, |
| | + | :That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies |
| | + | :Might serve him without fear, |
| | + | :In holiness and righteousness before him,—all the days of our life. |
| | + | |
| | + | :And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: |
| | + | :For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; |
| | + | :To give knowledge of salvation unto his people—by the remission of their sins, |
| | + | :Through the tender mercy of our God; |
| | + | :Whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, |
| | + | :To give light to them that sit in darkness and ''in'' the shadow of death, |
| | + | :To guide our feet into the way of peace. |
| | + | |
| | + | Luke 5:17-26 |
| | + | |
| | + | And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was ''present'' to heal them. And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought ''means'' to bring him in, and to lay ''him'' before him. And when they could not find by what ''way'' they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with ''his'' couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee: or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee. Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. |
| | + | |
| | + | And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day. |
| | + | |
| | + | Luke 9:23-26, 56 |
| | + | |
| | + | And he said to ''them'' all, If any ''man'' will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and ''in his'' Father's, and of the holy angels. But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God... |
| | + | |
| | + | But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save ''them''. And they went to another village. |
| | + | |
| | + | Luke 15 |
| | + | |
| | + | THEN drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. |
| | + | |
| | + | And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found ''it'', he layeth ''it'' on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together ''his'' friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep "which was lost. I say unto you, that |
| | + | likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. |
| | + | |
| | + | Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find ''it?'' And when she hath found ''it'', she calleth ''her'' friends and ''her'' neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. |
| | + | |
| | + | And he said, A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to ''his'' father. Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth ''to me''. And he divided unto them ''his'' living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. |
| | + | |
| | + | And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put ''it'' on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on ''his'' feet; and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill ''it;'' and let us eat, and be merry: for this |
| | + | my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. |
| | + | |
| | + | Now his elder son was in the field. And as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing; and he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to ''his'' father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends; but as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. |
| | + | |
| | + | Luke 19:1-10 |
| | + | |
| | + | AND ''Jesus'' entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, ''there was'' a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that ''way''. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. |
| | + | |
| | + | And when they saw ''it'', they all murmured, saying, That was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore ''him'' fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. |
