Luke 12:1-59

12:1

In
<1722>

the mean time
<3739>_,

when there were gathered together
<1996> (5685)

an innumerable multitude
<3461>

of people
<3793>_,

insomuch that
<5620>

they trode
<2662> (5721)

one upon another
<240>_,

he began
<756> (5662)

to say
<3004> (5721)

unto
<4314>

his
<846>

disciples
<3101>

first of all
<4412>_,

Beware
<4337> (5720)

ye
<1438>

of
<575>

the leaven
<2219>

of the Pharisees
<5330>_,

which
<3748>

is
<2076> (5748)

hypocrisy
<5272>_.

12:2

For
<1161>

there is
<2076> (5748)

nothing
<3762>

covered
<4780> (5772)_,

that
<3739>

shall
<601> (0)

not
<3756>

be revealed
<601> (5701)_;

neither
<2532>

hid
<2927>_,

that
<3739>

shall
<1097> (0)

not
<3756>

be known
<1097> (5701)_.

12:3

Therefore
<473> <3739>

whatsoever
<3745>

ye have spoken
<2036> (5627)

in
<1722>

darkness
<4653>

shall be heard
<191> (5701)

in
<1722>

the light
<5457>_;

and
<2532>

that which
<3739>

ye have spoken
<2980> (5656)

in
<4314>

the ear
<3775>

in
<1722>

closets
<5009>

shall be proclaimed
<2784> (5701)

upon
<1909>

the housetops
<1430>_.

12:4

And
<1161>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>

my
<3450>

friends
<5384>_,

Be
<5399> (0)

not
<3361>

afraid
<5399> (5676)

of them
<575>

that kill
<615> (5723)

the body
<4983>_,

and
<2532>

after
<3326>

that
<5023>

have
<2192> (5723)

no
<3361> <5100>

more
<4055>

that they can do
<4160> (5658)_.

12:5

But
<1161>

I will forewarn
<5263> (5692)

you
<5213>

whom
<5101>

ye shall fear
<5399> (5680)_:

Fear
<5399> (5676)

him, which after
<3326>

he hath killed
<615> (5658)

hath
<2192> (5723)

power
<1849>

to cast
<1685> (5629)

into
<1519>

hell
<1067>_;

yea
<3483>_,

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Fear
<5399> (5676)

him
<5126>_.

12:6

Are
<4453> (0)

not
<3780>

five
<4002>

sparrows
<4765>

sold
<4453> (5743)

for two
<1417>

farthings
<787>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

one
<1520>

of
<1537>

them
<846>

is
<2076> (5748)

forgotten
<1950> (5772)

before
<1799>

God
<2316>_?

12:7

But
<235>

even the very
<2532>

hairs
<2359>

of your
<5216>

head
<2776>

are
<705> (0)

all
<3956>

numbered
<705> (5769)_.

Fear
<5399> (5737)

not
<3361>

therefore
<3767>_:

ye are of more value
<1308> (5719)

than many
<4183>

sparrows
<4765>_.

12:8

Also
<1161>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Whosoever
<3956> <3739> <302>

shall confess
<3670> (5661) <1722>

me
<1698>

before
<1715>

men
<444>_,

<1722>

him
<846>

shall
<3670> (0)

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

also
<2532>

confess
<3670> (5692)

before
<1715>

the angels
<32>

of God
<2316>_:

12:9

But
<1161>

he that denieth
<720> (5666)

me
<3165>

before
<1799>

men
<444>

shall be denied
<533> (5701)

before
<1799>

the angels
<32>

of God
<2316>_.

12:10

And
<2532>

whosoever
<3956> <3739>

shall speak
<2046> (5692)

a word
<3056>

against
<1519>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>_,

it shall be forgiven
<863> (5701)

him
<846>_:

but
<1161>

unto him that blasphemeth
<987> (5660)

against
<1519>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>

it shall
<863> (0)

not
<3756>

be forgiven
<863> (5701)_.

12:11

And
<1161>

when
<3752>

they bring
<4374> (5725)

you
<5209>

unto
<1909>

the synagogues
<4864>_,

and
<2532>

[unto] magistrates
<746>_,

and
<2532>

powers
<1849>_,

take
<3309> (0)

ye no
<3361>

thought
<3309> (5720)

how
<4459>

or
<2228>

what thing
<5101>

ye shall answer
<626> (5667)_,

or
<2228>

what
<5101>

ye shall say
<2036> (5632)_:

12:12

For
<1063>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>

shall teach
<1321> (5692)

you
<5209>

in
<1722>

the same
<846>

hour
<5610>

what
<3739>

ye ought
<1163> (5748)

to say
<2036> (5629)_.

12:13

And
<1161>

one
<5100>

of
<1537>

the company
<3793>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Master
<1320>_,

speak
<2036> (5628)

to my
<3450>

brother
<80>_,

that he divide
<3307> (5670)

the inheritance
<2817>

with
<3326>

me
<1700>_.

12:14

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Man
<444>_,

who
<5101>

made
<2525> (5656)

me
<3165>

a judge
<1348>

or
<2228>

a divider
<3312>

over
<1909>

you
<5209>_?

12:15

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

Take heed
<3708> (5720)_,

and
<2532>

beware
<5442> (5732)

of
<575>

covetousness
<4124>_:

for
<3754>

a man's
<5100> <846>

life
<2222>

consisteth
<2076> (5748)

not
<3756>

in
<1722>

the abundance
<4052> (5721)

of
<1537>

the things which he
<846>

possesseth
<5224> (5723)_.

12:16

And
<1161>

he spake
<2036> (5627)

a parable
<3850>

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

The ground
<5561>

of a certain
<5100>

rich
<4145>

man
<444>

brought forth plentifully
<2164> (5656)_:

12:17

And
<2532>

he thought
<1260> (5711)

within
<1722>

himself
<1438>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

What
<5101>

shall I do
<4160> (5661)_,

because
<3754>

I have
<2192> (5719)

no
<3756>

room where
<4226>

to bestow
<4863> (5692)

my
<3450>

fruits
<2590>_?

12:18

And
<2532>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

This
<5124>

will I do
<4160> (5692)_:

I will pull down
<2507> (5692)

my
<3450>

barns
<596>_,

and
<2532>

build
<3618> (5692)

greater
<3187>_;

and
<2532>

there
<1563>

will I bestow
<4863> (5692)

all
<3956>

my
<3450>

fruits
<1081>

and
<2532>

my
<3450>

goods
<18>_.

12:19

And
<2532>

I will say
<2046> (5692)

to my
<3450>

soul
<5590>_,

Soul
<5590>_,

thou hast
<2192> (5719)

much
<4183>

goods
<18>

laid up
<2749> (5740)

for
<1519>

many
<4183>

years
<2094>_;

take thine ease
<373> (5732)_,

eat
<5315> (5628)_,

drink
<4095> (5628)_,

[and] be merry
<2165> (5744)_.

12:20

But
<1161>

God
<2316>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

[Thou] fool
<878>_,

this
<5026>

night
<3571>

thy
<4675>

soul
<5590>

shall be required
<523> (5719)

of
<575>

thee
<4675>_:

then
<1161>

whose
<5101>

shall those things be
<2071> (5704)_,

which
<3739>

thou hast provided
<2090> (5656)_?

{thy...: Gr. do they require thy soul}

12:21

So
<3779>

[is] he that layeth up treasure
<2343> (5723)

for himself
<1438>_,

and
<2532>

is
<4147> (0)

not
<3361>

rich
<4147> (5723)

toward
<1519>

God
<2316>_.

12:22

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

his
<846>

disciples
<3101>_,

Therefore
<1223> <5124>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Take
<3309> (0)

no
<3361>

thought
<3309> (5720)

for your
<5216>

life
<5590>_,

what
<5101>

ye shall eat
<5315> (5632)_;

neither
<3366>

for the body
<4983>_,

what
<5101>

ye shall put on
<1746> (5672)_.

12:23

The life
<5590>

is
<2076> (5748)

more
<4119>

than meat
<5160>_,

and
<2532>

the body
<4983>

[is more] than raiment
<1742>_.

12:24

Consider
<2657> (5657)

the ravens
<2876>_:

for
<3754>

they neither
<3756>

sow
<4687> (5719)

nor
<3761>

reap
<2325> (5719)_;

which
<3739>

neither
<3756>

have
<2076> (5748)

storehouse
<5009>

nor
<3761>

barn
<596>_;

and
<2532>

God
<2316>

feedeth
<5142> (5719)

them
<846>_:

how much
<4214>

more
<3123>

are
<1308> (0)

ye
<5210>

better than
<1308> (5719)

the fowls
<4071>_?

12:25

And
<1161>

which
<5101>

of
<1537>

you
<5216>

with taking thought
<3309> (5723)

can
<1410> (5736)

add
<4369> (5629)

to
<1909>

his
<846>

stature
<2244>

one
<1520>

cubit
<4083>_?

12:26

If
<1487>

ye then
<3767>

be
<1410> (0)

not
<3777>

able to do
<1410> (5736)

that thing which is least
<1646>_,

why
<5101>

take ye thought
<3309> (5719)

for
<4012>

the rest
<3062>_?

12:27

Consider
<2657> (5657)

the lilies
<2918>

how
<4459>

they grow
<837> (5719)_:

they toil
<2872> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

they spin
<3514> (5719)

not
<3761>_;

and yet
<1161>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

that Solomon
<4672>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

his
<846>

glory
<1391>

was
<4016> (0)

not
<3761>

arrayed
<4016> (5639)

like
<5613>

one
<1520>

of these
<5130>_.

12:28

If
<1487>

then
<1161>

God
<2316>

so
<3779>

clothe
<294> (5719)

the grass
<5528>_,

which
<5607> (5752)

is to day
<4594>

in
<1722>

the field
<68>_,

and
<2532>

to morrow
<839>

is cast
<906> (5746)

into
<1519>

the oven
<2823>_;

how much
<4214>

more
<3123>

[will he clothe] you
<5209>_,

O ye of little faith
<3640>_?

12:29

And
<2532>

seek
<2212> (5720)

not
<3361>

ye
<5210>

what
<5101>

ye shall eat
<5315> (5632)_,

or
<2228>

what
<5101>

ye shall drink
<4095> (5632)_,

<2532>

neither
<3361>

be ye of doubtful mind
<3349> (5744)_.

{neither...: or, live not in careful suspense}

12:30

For
<1063>

all
<3956>

these things
<5023>

do
<1934> (0)

the nations
<1484>

of the world
<2889>

seek after
<1934> (5719)_:

and
<1161>

your
<5216>

Father
<3962>

knoweth
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

ye have need
<5535> (5719)

of these things
<5130>_.

12:31

But rather
<4133>

seek ye
<2212> (5720)

the kingdom
<932>

of God
<2316>_;

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

these things
<5023>

shall be added
<4369> (5701)

unto you
<5213>_.

12:32

Fear
<5399> (5732) (5737)

not
<3361>_,

little
<3398>

flock
<4168>_;

for
<3754>

it is
<2106> (0)

your
<5216>

Father's
<3962>

good pleasure
<2106> (5656)

to give
<1325> (5629)

you
<5213>

the kingdom
<932>_.

12:33

Sell
<4453> (5657)

that ye
<5216>

have
<5224> (5723)_,

and
<2532>

give
<1325> (5628)

alms
<1654>_;

provide
<4160> (5657)

yourselves
<1438>

bags
<905>

which wax
<3822> (0)

not
<3361>

old
<3822> (5746)_,

a treasure
<2344>

in
<1722>

the heavens
<3772>

that faileth not
<413>_,

where
<3699>

no
<3756>

thief
<2812>

approacheth
<1448> (5719)_,

neither
<3761>

moth
<4597>

corrupteth
<1311> (5719)_.

12:34

For
<1063>

where
<3699>

your
<5216>

treasure
<2344>

is
<2076> (5748)_,

there
<1563>

will
<2071> (0)

your
<5216>

heart
<2588>

be
<2071> (5704)

also
<2532>_.

12:35

Let
<2077> (0)

your
<5216>

loins
<3751>

be
<2077> (5749)

girded about
<4024> (5772)_,

and
<2532>

[your] lights
<3088>

burning
<2545> (5746)_;

12:36

And
<2532>

ye yourselves
<5210>

like
<3664>

unto men
<444>

that wait
<4327> (5740)

for their
<1438>

lord
<2962>_,

when
<4219>

he will return
<360> (5692)

from
<1537>

the wedding
<1062>_;

that
<2443>

when he cometh
<2064> (5631)

and
<2532>

knocketh
<2925> (5660)_,

they may open
<455> (5661)

unto him
<846>

immediately
<2112>_.

12:37

Blessed
<3107>

[are] those
<1565>

servants
<1401>_,

whom
<3739>

the lord
<2962>

when he cometh
<2064> (5631)

shall find
<2147> (5692)

watching
<1127> (5723)_:

verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

that
<3754>

he shall gird himself
<4024> (5698)_,

and
<2532>

make
<347> (0)

them
<846>

to sit down to meat
<347> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

will come forth
<3928> (5631)

and serve
<1247> (5692)

them
<846>_.

12:38

And
<2532>

if
<1437>

he shall come
<2064> (5632)

in
<1722>

the second
<1208>

watch
<5438>_,

or
<2532>

come
<2064> (5632)

in
<1722>

the third
<5154>

watch
<5438>_,

and
<2532>

find
<2147> (5632)

[them] so
<3779>_,

blessed
<3107>

are
<1526> (5748)

those
<1565>

servants
<1401>_.

12:39

And
<1161>

this
<5124>

know
<1097> (5720)_,

that
<3754>

if
<1487>

the goodman of the house
<3617>

had known
<1492> (5715)

what
<4169>

hour
<5610>

the thief
<2812>

would come
<2064> (5736)_,

<302>

he would have watched
<1127> (5656)_,

and
<2532> <302>

not
<3756>

have suffered
<863> (5656)

his
<846>

house
<3624>

to be broken through
<1358> (5650)_.

12:40

Be
<1096> (5737)

ye
<5210>

therefore
<3767>

ready
<2092>

also
<2532>_:

for
<3754> <3739>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

cometh
<2064> (5736)

at an hour
<5610>

when ye think
<1380> (5719)

not
<3756>_.

12:41

Then
<1161>

Peter
<4074>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Lord
<2962>_,

speakest thou
<3004> (5719)

this
<5026>

parable
<3850>

unto
<4314>

us
<2248>_,

or
<2228>

even
<2532>

to
<4314>

all
<3956>_?

12:42

And
<1161>

the Lord
<2962>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Who
<5101>

then
<686>

is
<2076> (5748)

that faithful
<4103>

and
<2532>

wise
<5429>

steward
<3623>_,

whom
<3739>

[his] lord
<2962>

shall make ruler
<2525> (5692)

over
<1909>

his
<846>

household
<2322>_,

to give
<1325> (5721)

[them their] portion of meat
<4620>

in
<1722>

due season
<2540>_?

12:43

Blessed
<3107>

[is] that
<1565>

servant
<1401>_,

whom
<3739>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

when he cometh
<2064> (5631)

shall find
<2147> (5692)

so
<3779>

doing
<4160> (5723)_.

12:44

Of a truth
<230>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

that
<3754>

he will make him
<846>

ruler
<2525> (5692)

over
<1909>

all
<3956>

that he
<846>

hath
<5224> (5723)_.

12:45

But and
<1161>

if
<1437>

that
<1565>

servant
<1401>

say
<2036> (5632)

in
<1722>

his
<846>

heart
<2588>_,

My
<3450>

lord
<2962>

delayeth
<5549> (5719)

his coming
<2064> (5738)_;

and
<2532>

shall begin
<756> (5672)

to beat
<5180> (5721)

the menservants
<3816>

and
<2532>

maidens
<3814>_,

and
<5037>

to eat
<2068> (5721)

and
<2532>

drink
<4095> (5721)_,

and
<2532>

to be drunken
<3182> (5745)_;

12:46

The lord
<2962>

of that
<1565>

servant
<1401>

will come
<2240> (5692)

in
<1722>

a day
<2250>

when
<3739>

he looketh
<4328> (0)

not
<3756>

for
<4328> (5719)

[him], and
<2532>

at
<1722>

an hour
<5610>

when
<3739>

he is
<1097> (0)

not
<3756>

aware
<1097> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

will cut
<1371> (0)

him
<846>

in sunder
<1371> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

will appoint
<5087> (5692)

him his
<846>

portion
<3313>

with
<3326>

the unbelievers
<571>_.

{cut...: or, cut him off}

12:47

And
<1161>

that
<1565>

servant
<1401>_,

which
<3588>

knew
<1097> (5631)

his
<1438>

lord's
<2962>

will
<2307>_,

and
<2532>

prepared
<2090> (5660)

not
<3361>

[himself], neither
<3366>

did
<4160> (5660)

according
<4314>

to his
<846>

will
<2307>_,

shall be beaten
<1194> (5691)

with many
<4183>

[stripes].

12:48

But
<1161>

he that knew
<1097> (5631)

not
<3361>_,

and
<1161>

did commit
<4160> (5660)

things worthy
<514>

of stripes
<4127>_,

shall be beaten
<1194> (5691)

with few
<3641>

[stripes]. For
<1161>

unto whomsoever
<3739> <3956>

much
<4183>

is given
<1325> (5681)_,

of
<3844>

him
<846>

shall be much
<4183>

required
<2212> (5701)_:

and
<2532>

to whom men
<3739>

have committed
<3908> (5639)

much
<4183>_,

of him
<846>

they will ask
<154> (5692)

the more
<4055>_.

12:49

I am come
<2064> (5627)

to send
<906> (5629)

fire
<4442>

on
<1519>

the earth
<1093>_;

and
<2532>

what
<5101>

will I
<2309> (5719)_,

if
<1487>

it be
<381> (0)

already
<2235>

kindled
<381> (5681)_?

12:50

But
<1161>

I have
<2192> (5719)

a baptism
<908>

to be baptized with
<907> (5683)_;

and
<2532>

how
<4459>

am I straitened
<4912> (5743)

till
<2193> <3757>

it be accomplished
<5055> (5686)_!

{straitened: or, pained}

12:51

Suppose ye
<1380> (5719)

that
<3754>

I am come
<3854> (5633)

to give
<1325> (5629)

peace
<1515>

on
<1722>

earth
<1093>_?

I tell
<3004> (5719)

you
<5213>_,

Nay
<3780>_;

but
<235>

rather
<2228>

division
<1267>_:

12:52

For
<1063>

from
<575>

henceforth
<3568>

there shall be
<2071> (5704)

five
<4002>

in
<1722>

one
<1520>

house
<3624>

divided
<1266> (5772)_,

three
<5140>

against
<1909>

two
<1417>_,

and
<2532>

two
<1417>

against
<1909>

three
<5140>_.

12:53

The father
<3962>

shall be divided
<1266> (5701)

against
<1909>

the son
<5207>_,

and
<2532>

the son
<5207>

against
<1909>

the father
<3962>_;

the mother
<3384>

against
<1909>

the daughter
<2364>_,

and
<2532>

the daughter
<2364>

against
<1909>

the mother
<3384>_;

the mother in law
<3994>

against
<1909>

her
<846>

daughter in law
<3565>_,

and
<2532>

the daughter in law
<3565>

against
<1909>

her
<846>

mother in law
<3994>_.

12:54

And
<1161>

he said
<3004> (5707)

also
<2532>

to the people
<3793>_,

When
<3752>

ye see
<1492> (5632)

a cloud
<3507>

rise
<393> (5723)

out of
<575>

the west
<1424>_,

straightway
<2112>

ye say
<3004> (5719)_,

There cometh
<2064> (5736)

a shower
<3655>_;

and
<2532>

so
<3779>

it is
<1096> (5736)_.

12:55

And
<2532>

when
<3752>

[ye see] the south wind
<3558>

blow
<4154> (5723)_,

ye say
<3004> (5719)_,

<3754>

There will be
<2071> (5704)

heat
<2742>_;

and
<2532>

it cometh to pass
<1096> (5736)_.

12:56

[Ye] hypocrites
<5273>_,

ye can
<1492> (5758)

discern
<1381> (5721)

the face
<4383>

of the sky
<3772>

and
<2532>

of the earth
<1093>_;

but
<1161>

how is it
<4459>

that ye do not
<3756>

discern
<1381> (5719)

this
<5126>

time
<2540>_?

12:57

Yea
<1161>_,

and why
<5101>

even
<2532>

of
<575>

yourselves
<1438>

judge ye
<2919> (5719)

not
<3756>

what is right
<1342>_?

12:58

When
<5613> <1063>

thou goest
<5217> (5719)

with
<3326>

thine
<4675>

adversary
<476>

to
<1909>

the magistrate
<758>_,

[as thou art] in
<1722>

the way
<3598>_,

give
<1325> (5628)

diligence
<2039>

that thou mayest be delivered
<525> (5771)

from
<575>

him
<846>_;

lest
<3379>

he hale
<2694> (5661)

thee
<4571>

to
<4314>

the judge
<2923>_,

and
<2532>

the judge
<2923>

deliver
<3860> (5632)

thee
<4571>

to the officer
<4233>_,

and
<2532>

the officer
<4233>

cast
<906> (5725)

thee
<4571>

into
<1519>

prison
<5438>_.

12:59

I tell
<3004> (5719)

thee
<4671>_,

thou shalt
<1831> (0)

not
<3364>

depart
<1831> (5632)

thence
<1564>_,

<2532>

till
<2193> <3739>

thou hast paid
<591> (5632)

the very last
<2078>

mite
<3016>_.
