Part 34

42:020:037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

42:020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

42:020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

42:020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

42:020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

42:020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

42:020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

42:020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

42:020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

42:020:046 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

42:020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

42:021:001 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

42:021:002 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

42:021:003 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

42:021:004 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

42:021:005 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

42:021:006 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

42:021:007 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

42:021:008 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

42:021:009 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

42:021:010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

42:021:011 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

42:021:012 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

42:021:013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

42:021:014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

42:021:015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

42:021:016 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

42:021:017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
