Luke 11:21-54

21WhenG3752 a strong manG2478 armedG2528 keepethG5442 hisG1438 palaceG833, hisG846 goodsG5225 areG1510 inG1722 peaceG1515: 22ButG1161 whenG1875 a strongerG2478 than heG846 shall come uponG1904 himG846, and overcomeG3528 himG846, he takethG142 from himG1909 allG3588G3833 hisG846 armourG3588G3833 whereinG3739 he trustedG3982, andG2532 dividethG1239 hisG846 spoilsG3588G4661. 23He that isG1510 notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 isG1510 againstG2596 meG1473: andG2532 he that gatherethG4863 notG3361 withG3326 meG1473 scatterethG4650. 24WhenG3752 theG4151 uncleanG169 spiritG4151 is gone outG1831 ofG575 a manG3588G444, he walkethG1330 throughG1223 dryG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372; andG2532 findingG2147 noneG3361, he saithG3004, I will returnG5290 untoG1519 myG1473 houseG3588G3624 whenceG3606 I came outG1831. 25AndG2532 when he comethG2064, he findethG2147 it sweptG4563 andG2532 garnishedG2885. 26ThenG5119 goeth heG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 to him sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4190 than himselfG1438; andG2532 they enter inG1525, and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state ofG3588G444 thatG1565 manG3588G444 isG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413. 27

AndG1161 it came to passG1096, asG1722 heG846 spakeG3004 these thingsG3778, a certainG5100 womanG1135 ofG1537 the companyG3588G3793 lifted upG1869 her voiceG5456, and saidG3004 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 is the wombG3588G2836 that bareG941 theeG4771, andG2532 the papsG3149 whichG3739 thou hast suckedG2337. 28ButG1161 heG846 saidG3004, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846. 29

AndG1161 whenG1865 the peopleG3793 were gathered thick togetherG1865, he beganG756 to sayG3004, ThisG3778 isG1510 anG3588G1074 evilG4190 generationG3588G1074: they seekG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 itG846, butG3361 the signG3588G4592 of JonahG2495 the prophetG3588G4396. 30ForG1063 asG2531 JonahG2495 wasG1096 a signG4592 unto the NinevitesG3588G3536, soG3779 shallG1510 alsoG2532 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 beG1510 toG3588G1074 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074. 31The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG3588G2920 withG3326 the menG3588G435 ofG3588G1074 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074, andG2532 condemnG2632 themG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the utmost partsG3588G4009 of the earthG3588G1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG3588G4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG3708, a greaterG4119 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of NinevehG3535 shall rise upG450 inG1722 the judgmentG3588G2920 withG3326 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG3588G2782 of JonahG2495; andG2532, beholdG3708, a greaterG4119 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 33No manG3762, whenG1161 he hath lightedG681 a candleG3088, puttethG5087 it inG1519 a secret placeG2927, neitherG3761 underG5259 a bushelG3588G3426, butG235 onG1909 a candlestickG3588G3087, thatG2443 they which come inG1531 may seeG991 the lightG3588G5338. 34The lightG3588G3088 of the bodyG3588G4983 isG1510 the eyeG3588G3788: thereforeG3767 whenG3752 thineG4771 eyeG3588G3788 isG1510 singleG573, thyG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG3588G4983 alsoG2532 isG1510 full of lightG5460; butG1161 whenG1875 thine eye isG1510 evilG4190, thyG4771 bodyG3588G4983 alsoG2532 is full of darknessG4652. 35Take heedG4648 thereforeG3767 thatG4648 the lightG3588G5457 which isG3588 inG1722 theeG4771 beG1510 notG3361 darknessG4655. 36IfG1487 thyG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG3588G4983 thereforeG3767 be full of lightG5460, havingG2192 noG3361 partG3313 darkG4652, the wholeG3650 shall beG1510 full of lightG5460, asG5613 whenG3752 the bright shiningG3588G796 of a candleG3588G3088 doth giveG5461 theeG4771 lightG5461. 37

AndG1161 asG1722 he spakeG2980, a certainG5100 PhariseeG5330 besoughtG2065 himG846 toG3704 dineG709 withG3844 himG846: andG1161 he went inG1525, and sat down to meatG377. 38AndG1161 whenG3708 the PhariseeG5330 sawG3708 it, he marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he hadG907 notG3756 firstG4412 washedG907 beforeG4253 dinnerG3588G712. 39AndG1161 the LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, NowG3568 doG2511 yeG4771 PhariseesG3588G5330 make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG3588G4221 andG2532 the platterG3588G4094; butG1161 yourG4771 inward partG2081 is fullG1073 of raveningG724 andG2532 wickednessG4189. 40Ye foolsG878, didG4160 notG3756 he that madeG4160 that which is withoutG1855 makeG4160 that which is withinG2081 alsoG2532? 41But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG3708, all thingsG3956 areG1510 cleanG2513 unto youG4771. 42ButG235 woeG3759 unto youG4771, PhariseesG3588G5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG3588G2238 andG2532 rueG3588G4076 andG2532 all manner ofG3956 herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 judgmentG3588G2920 andG2532 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316: theseG3778 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, andG2548 notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863. 43WoeG3759 unto youG4771, PhariseesG3588G5330! forG3754 ye loveG25 the uppermost seatsG3588G4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864, andG2532 greetingsG3588G783 inG1722 the marketsG3588G58. 44WoeG3759 unto youG4771, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye areG1510 asG5613 gravesG3588G3419 which appear notG82, andG2532 the menG3588G444 that walkG4043 overG1883 them areG1492 notG3756 awareG1492 of them. 45

ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, thusG3778 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG1473 alsoG2532. 46AndG1161 he saidG3004, WoeG3759 unto youG4771 alsoG2532, ye lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye ladeG5412 menG3588G444 with burdensG5413 grievous to be borneG1419, andG2532 yeG4379 yourselvesG846 touchG4379 notG3756 the burdensG3588G5413 withG3588G1147 one ofG1520 yourG4771 fingersG3588G1147. 47WoeG3759 unto youG4771! forG3754 ye buildG3618 the sepulchresG3588G3419 of the prophetsG3588G4396, andG1161 yourG4771 fathersG3962 killedG615 themG846. 48TrulyG686 ye bear witnessG3140 thatG2532 ye allowG4909 the deedsG3588G2041 ofG3588G3962 yourG4771 fathersG3588G3962: forG3754 theyG846 indeedG3303 killedG615 themG846, andG1161 yeG4771 buildG3618 theirG846 sepulchresG3588G3419. 49ThereforeG1223 alsoG2532 saidG3004 the wisdomG3588G4678 of GodG3588G2316, I will sendG649 themG846 prophetsG4396 andG2532 apostlesG652, andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 they shall slayG615 andG2532 persecuteG1559: 50ThatG2443 the bloodG3588G129 ofG3588G4396 allG3956 the prophetsG3588G4396, which was shedG1632 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074; 51FromG575 the bloodG3588G129 of AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG3588G129 of ZachariahG2197, which perishedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG3588G2379 andG2532 the templeG3588G3624: verilyG3483 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, It shall be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG3778 generationG3588G1074. 52WoeG3759 unto youG4771, lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye have taken awayG142 the keyG3588G2807 of knowledgeG3588G1108: ye enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 yourselvesG846, andG2532 them that were entering inG1525 ye hinderedG2967. 53AndG1161 asG3004 heG846 saidG3004 these thingsG3778 untoG4314 themG846, the scribesG3588G1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG3588G5330 beganG756 to urgeG1758 him vehementlyG1171, andG2532 to provokeG653 himG846 to speakG653 ofG4012 many thingsG4119: 54Laying waitG1748 for himG846, andG2532 seekingG2212 to catchG2340 somethingG5100 outG1537 ofG3588G4750 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750, thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846.
