Chapter 12

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, +w Beware|strong=“G4337”+w* +w ye|strong=“G1438”+w* +w of|strong=“G0575”+w* +w the leaven|strong=“G2219”+w* +w of the Pharisees|strong=“G5330”+w*, +w which|strong=“G3748”+w* +w is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w hypocrisy|strong=“G5272”+w*.
2
+w For|strong=“G1161”+w* +w there is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w nothing|strong=“G3762”+w* +w covered|strong=“G4780”+w*, +w that|strong=“G3739”+w* +w shall|strong=“G0601”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w be revealed|strong=“G0601”+w*; +w neither|strong=“G2532”+w* +w hid|strong=“G2927”+w*, +w that|strong=“G3739”+w* +w shall|strong=“G1097”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w be known|strong=“G1097”+w*.
3
+w Therefore|strong=“G0473”+w* +w whatsoever|strong=“G3745”+w* +w ye have spoken|strong=“G2036”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w darkness|strong=“G4653”+w* +w shall be heard|strong=“G0191”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the light|strong=“G5457”+w*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w that which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w ye have spoken|strong=“G2980”+w* +w in|strong=“G4314”+w* +w the ear|strong=“G3775”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w closets|strong=“G5009”+w* +w shall be proclaimed|strong=“G2784”+w* +w upon|strong=“G1909”+w* +w the housetops|strong=“G1430”+w*.
4
+w And|strong=“G1161”+w* +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w friends|strong=“G5384”+w*, +w Be|strong=“G5399”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w afraid|strong=“G5399”+w* +w of|strong=“G0575”+w* +w them that kill|strong=“G0615”+w* +w the body|strong=“G4983”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w after|strong=“G3326”+w* +w that|strong=“G5023”+w* +w have|strong=“G2192”+w* +w no|strong=“G3361”+w* +w more|strong=“G4053”+w* +w that|strong=“G5100”+w* +w they can do|strong=“G4160”+w*.
5
+w But|strong=“G1161”+w* +w I will forewarn|strong=“G5263”+w* +w you|strong=“G5213”+w* +w whom|strong=“G5101”+w* +w ye shall fear|strong=“G5399”+w*: +w Fear|strong=“G5399”+w* him, +w which|strong=“G3588”+w* +w after|strong=“G3326”+w* +w he hath killed|strong=“G0615”+w* +w hath|strong=“G2192”+w* +w power|strong=“G1849”+w* +w to cast|strong=“G1685”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w hell|strong=“G1067”+w*; +w yea|strong=“G3483”+w*, +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w Fear|strong=“G5399”+w* +w him|strong=“G5126”+w*.

+w Are|strong=“G4453”+w* +w not|strong=“G3780”+w* +w five|strong=“G4002”+w* +w sparrows|strong=“G4765”+w* +w sold|strong=“G4453”+w* +w for|strong=“G0787”+w* +w two|strong=“G1417”+w* +w farthings|strong=“G0787”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w one|strong=“G1520”+w* +w of|strong=“G1537”+w* +w them|strong=“G0846”+w* +w is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w forgotten|strong=“G1950”+w* +w before|strong=“G1799”+w* +w God|strong=“G2316”+w*?
7
+w But|strong=“G0235”+w* +w even|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the|strong=“G2359”+w* very +w hairs|strong=“G2359”+w* +w of|strong=“G2776”+w* +w your|strong=“G5216”+w* +w head|strong=“G2776”+w* +w are|strong=“G0705”+w* +w all|strong=“G3956”+w* +w numbered|strong=“G0705”+w*. +w Fear|strong=“G5399”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w therefore|strong=“G3767”+w*: +w ye are of more value|strong=“G1308”+w* +w than|strong=“G4765”+w* +w many|strong=“G4183”+w* +w sparrows|strong=“G4765”+w*.
8
+w Also|strong=“G1161”+w* +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w Whosoever|strong=“G3956”+w* +w shall confess|strong=“G3670”+w* +w me|strong=“G1698”+w* +w before|strong=“G1715”+w* +w men|strong=“G0444”+w*, +w him|strong=“G0846”+w* +w shall|strong=“G3670”+w* +w the Son|strong=“G5207”+w* +w of man|strong=“G0444”+w* +w also|strong=“G2532”+w* +w confess|strong=“G3670”+w* +w before|strong=“G1715”+w* +w the angels|strong=“G0032”+w* +w of God|strong=“G2316”+w*:
9
+w But|strong=“G1161”+w* +w he that denieth|strong=“G0720”+w* +w me|strong=“G3165”+w* +w before|strong=“G1799”+w* +w men|strong=“G0444”+w* +w shall be denied|strong=“G0533”+w* +w before|strong=“G1799”+w* +w the angels|strong=“G0032”+w* +w of God|strong=“G2316”+w*.
10
+w And|strong=“G2532”+w* +w whosoever|strong=“G3956”+w* +w shall speak|strong=“G2046”+w* +w a word|strong=“G3056”+w* +w against|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the Son|strong=“G5207”+w* +w of man|strong=“G0444”+w*, +w it shall be forgiven|strong=“G0863”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w unto him that blasphemeth|strong=“G0987”+w* +w against|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the Holy|strong=“G0040”+w* +w Ghost|strong=“G4151”+w* +w it shall|strong=“G0863”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w be forgiven|strong=“G0863”+w*.

¶ And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14
And he said unto him, +w Man|strong=“G0444”+w*, +w who|strong=“G5101”+w* +w made|strong=“G2525”+w* +w me|strong=“G3165”+w* +w a judge|strong=“G1348”+w* +w or|strong=“G2228”+w* +w a divider|strong=“G3312”+w* +w over|strong=“G1909”+w* +w you|strong=“G5209”+w*?
15
And he said unto them, +w Take heed|strong=“G3708”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w beware|strong=“G5442”+w* +w of|strong=“G0575”+w* +w covetousness|strong=“G4124”+w*: +w for|strong=“G3754”+w* +w a man’s|strong=“G5100”+w* +w life|strong=“G2222”+w* +w consisteth|strong=“G2076”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the abundance|strong=“G4052”+w* +w of|strong=“G1537”+w* +w the things which|strong=“G5224”+w* +w he|strong=“G0846”+w* +w possesseth|strong=“G5224”+w*.
16
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, +w The ground|strong=“G5561”+w* +w of a certain|strong=“G5100”+w* +w rich|strong=“G4145”+w* +w man|strong=“G0444”+w* +w brought forth plentifully|strong=“G2164”+w*:
17
+w And|strong=“G2532”+w* +w he thought|strong=“G1260”+w* +w within|strong=“G1722”+w* +w himself|strong=“G1438”+w*, +w saying|strong=“G3004”+w*, +w What|strong=“G5101”+w* +w shall I do|strong=“G4160”+w*, +w because|strong=“G3754”+w* +w I have|strong=“G2192”+w* +w no|strong=“G3756”+w* +w room where|strong=“G4226”+w* +w to bestow|strong=“G4863”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w fruits|strong=“G2590”+w*?
18
+w And|strong=“G2532”+w* +w he said|strong=“G2036”+w*, +w This|strong=“G5124”+w* +w will I do|strong=“G4160”+w*: +w I will pull down|strong=“G2507”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w barns|strong=“G0596”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w build|strong=“G3618”+w* +w greater|strong=“G3173”+w*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w there|strong=“G1563”+w* +w will I bestow|strong=“G4863”+w* +w all|strong=“G3956”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w fruits|strong=“G1081”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w goods|strong=“G0018”+w*.
19
+w And|strong=“G2532”+w* +w I will say|strong=“G2046”+w* +w to|strong=“G5590”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w soul|strong=“G5590”+w*, +w Soul|strong=“G5590”+w*, +w thou hast|strong=“G2192”+w* +w much|strong=“G4183”+w* +w goods|strong=“G0018”+w* +w laid up|strong=“G2749”+w* +w for|strong=“G1519”+w* +w many|strong=“G4183”+w* +w years|strong=“G2094”+w*; +w take thine ease|strong=“G0373”+w*, +w eat|strong=“G5315”+w*, +w drink|strong=“G4095”+w*, +add and+add* +w be merry|strong=“G2165”+w*.
20
+w But|strong=“G1161”+w* +w God|strong=“G2316”+w* +w said|strong=“G2036”+w* +w unto him|strong=“G0846”+w*, +add Thou+add* +w fool|strong=“G0878”+w*, +w this|strong=“G3778”+w* +w night|strong=“G3571”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w soul|strong=“G5590”+w* +w shall be required|strong=“G0523”+w* +w of|strong=“G0575”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4675”+w*: +w then|strong=“G1161”+w* +w whose|strong=“G5101”+w* +w shall|strong=“G2071”+w* +w those things|strong=“G3739”+w* +w be|strong=“G2071”+w*, +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w thou hast provided|strong=“G2090”+w*?

22
¶ And he said unto his disciples, +w Therefore|strong=“G1223”+w* +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w Take|strong=“G3309”+w* +w no|strong=“G3361”+w* +w thought|strong=“G3309”+w* +w for|strong=“G5590”+w* +w your|strong=“G5216”+w* +w life|strong=“G5590”+w*, +w what|strong=“G5101”+w* +w ye shall eat|strong=“G5315”+w*; +w neither|strong=“G3366”+w* +w for the body|strong=“G4983”+w*, +w what|strong=“G5101”+w* +w ye shall put on|strong=“G1746”+w*.
23
+w The life|strong=“G5590”+w* +w is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w more|strong=“G4119”+w* +w than meat|strong=“G5160”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w the body|strong=“G4983”+w* +add is more+add* +w than raiment|strong=“G1742”+w*.
