Part 20

42:011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

42:011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

42:011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

42:011:022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

42:011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

42:011:024 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

42:011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

42:011:026 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

42:011:027 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

42:011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

42:011:029 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

42:011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

42:011:031 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

42:011:032 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

42:011:033 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

42:011:034 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

42:011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

42:011:036 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

42:011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

42:011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

42:011:039 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

42:011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

42:011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

42:011:042 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

42:011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

42:011:044 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

42:011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

42:011:046 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
