Luke 12:22-59

22AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, ThereforeG1223 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, TakeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 forG3588G5590 yourG4771 lifeG3588G5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315; neitherG3366 for the bodyG3588G4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746. 23The lifeG3588G5590 isG1510 moreG4119 than meatG3588G5160, andG2532 the bodyG3588G4983 is more than raimentG3588G1742. 24ConsiderG2657 the ravensG3588G2876: forG3754 theyG4687 neitherG3756 sowG4687 norG3761 reapG2325; whichG3739 neitherG3756 haveG1510 storehouseG5009 norG3761 barnG596; andG2532 GodG3588G2316 feedethG5142 themG846: how muchG4214 moreG3123 areG1308 yeG4771 betterG1308 than the fowlsG3588G4071? 25AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771 with taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 toG1909 hisG846 statureG3588G2244 oneG1520 cubitG4083? 26IfG1487 yeG1410 thenG3767 be notG3777 able to doG1410 that thing which is leastG1646, whyG5101 take ye thoughtG3309 forG4012 the restG3062? 27ConsiderG2657 the liliesG3588G2918 howG4459 they growG837: they toilG2872 notG3756, they spinG3514 notG3761; and yetG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3004 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391 wasG4016 notG3761 arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 28IfG1487 thenG1161 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG3588G5528, which isG1510 to dayG4594 inG1722 the fieldG3588G68, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823; how muchG4214 moreG3123 will he clothe youG4771, O ye of little faithG3640? 29AndG2532 seekG2212 notG3361 yeG4771 whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095, neitherG3361 be ye of doubtful mindG3349. 30ForG1063 allG3956 these thingsG3778 doG1934 the nationsG3588G1484 of the worldG3588G2889 seek afterG1934: andG1161 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 knowethG1492 thatG3754 ye have needG5535 of these thingsG3778.

31But ratherG4133 seek yeG2212 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG3778 shall be addedG4369 unto youG4771. 32FearG5399 notG3361, littleG3398 flockG4168; forG3754 it isG2106 yourG4771 Father’sG3588G3962 good pleasureG2106 to giveG1325 youG4771 the kingdomG3588G932. 33SellG4453 thatG5225 yeG4771 haveG5225, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3588G3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311. 34ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG4771 treasureG3588G2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 35LetG1510 yourG4771 loinsG3588G3751 beG1510 girded aboutG4024, andG2532 your lightsG3588G3088 burningG2545; 36AndG2532 ye yourselvesG4771 likeG3664 unto menG444 that waitG4327 forG3588G2962 theirG1438 lordG3588G2962, whenG4219 he will returnG360 fromG1537 the weddingG3588G1062; thatG2443 when he comethG2064 andG2532 knockethG2925, they may openG455 unto himG846 immediatelyG2112. 37BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servantsG3588G1401, whomG3739 the lordG3588G2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127: verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 he shall gird himselfG4024, andG2532 makeG347 themG846 to sit down to meatG347, andG2532 will come forthG3928 and serveG1247 themG846. 38AndG2532 ifG1437 he shall comeG2064 inG1722 theG5438 secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2532 comeG2064 inG1722 theG5438 thirdG5154 watchG5438, andG2532 findG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 areG1510 thoseG1565 servantsG3588G1401. 39AndG1161 thisG3778 knowG1097, thatG3754 ifG1487 the goodman of the houseG3588G3617 had knownG1492 whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG3588G2812 would comeG2064, he would have watchedG1127, andG2532 notG3756 have sufferedG863 hisG846 houseG3588G3624 to be broken throughG1358. 40BeG1096 yeG4771 thereforeG3767 readyG2092 alsoG2532: forG3754 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 comethG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 ye thinkG1380 notG3756.

41ThenG1161 PeterG3588G4074 saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, speakest thouG3004 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850 untoG4314 usG1473, orG2228 evenG2532 toG4314 allG3956? 42AndG1161 the LordG3588G2962 saidG3004, WhoG5101 thenG687 isG1510 thatG3623 faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whomG3739 his lordG3588G2962 shall make rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG3588G2322, to giveG1325 them their portion of meatG3588G4620 inG1722 due seasonG2540? 43BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG3588G1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG3588G2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160. 44Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 he will makeG2525 himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 thatG5225 heG846 hathG5225. 45But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 servantG3588G1401 sayG3004 inG1722 hisG846 heartG3588G2588, MyG1473 lordG3588G2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064; andG2532 shall beginG756 to beatG5180 the menservantsG3588G3816 andG2532 maidensG3588G3814, andG5037 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 to be drunkenG3182; 46The lordG3588G2962 ofG3588G1401 thatG1565 servantG3588G1401 will comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 forG4328 him, andG2532 atG1722 an hourG5610 whenG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 awareG1097, andG2532 will cutG1371 himG846 in sunderG1371, andG2532 will appoint himG5087 hisG846 portionG3588G3313 withG3326 the unbelieversG571. 47AndG1161 thatG1565 servantG3588G1401, which knewG1097 hisG1438 lord’sG3588G2962 willG3588G2307, andG2532 preparedG2090 notG3361 himself, neitherG3366 didG4160 according toG4314 hisG846 willG3588G2307, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes. 48ButG1161 he that knewG1097 notG3361, andG1161 did commitG4160 things worthyG514 of stripesG4127, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. ForG1161 unto whomsoeverG3956 muchG4183 is givenG1325, ofG3844 himG846 shall beG2212 muchG4183 requiredG2212: andG2532 to whomG3739 men have committedG3908 muchG4183, of himG846 they will askG154 the moreG4053.

49I am comeG2064 to sendG906 fireG4442 onG1519 the earthG3588G1093; andG2532 whatG5101 will IG2309, ifG1487 it beG381 alreadyG2235 kindledG381? 50ButG1161 I haveG2192 a baptismG908 to be baptized withG907; andG2532 howG4459 am I straitenedG4912 tillG2193 it be accomplishedG5055! 51Suppose yeG1380 thatG3754 I am comeG3854 to giveG1325 peaceG1515 onG1722 earthG3588G1093? I tellG3004 youG4771, NayG3780; butG235 ratherG2228 divisionG1267: 52ForG1063 fromG575 henceforthG3568 there shall beG1510 fiveG4002 inG1722 oneG1520 houseG3624 dividedG1266, threeG5140 againstG1909 twoG1417, andG2532 twoG1417 againstG1909 threeG5140. 53The fatherG3962 shall be dividedG1266 againstG1909 the sonG5207, andG2532 the sonG5207 againstG1909 the fatherG3962; the motherG3384 againstG1909 the daughterG2364, andG2532 the daughterG2364 againstG1909 the motherG3384; the mother in lawG3994 againstG1909 herG846 daughter in lawG3588G3565, andG2532 the daughter in lawG3565 againstG1909 herG846 mother in lawG3588G3994.

54AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 to the peopleG3588G3793, WhenG3752 ye seeG3708 a cloudG3588G3507 riseG393 outG575 of the westG1424, straightwayG2112 ye sayG3004, There comethG2064 a showerG3655; andG2532 soG3779 it isG1096. 55AndG2532 whenG3752 ye see the south windG3558 blowG4154, ye sayG3004, There will beG1510 heatG2742; andG2532 it cometh to passG1096. 56Ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1492 discernG1381 the faceG3588G4383 of the skyG3588G3772 andG2532 of the earthG3588G1093; butG1161 how is it thatG4459 ye doG1381 notG3756 discernG1381 thisG3778 timeG3588G2540? 57Yea, andG1161 whyG5101 evenG2532 ofG575 yourselvesG1438 judge yeG2919 notG3756 what is rightG1342?

58WhenG5613 thou goestG5217 withG3326 thineG4771 adversaryG3588G476 toG1909 the magistrateG758, as thou art inG1722 the wayG3588G3598, giveG1325 diligenceG2039 that thou mayest be deliveredG525 fromG575 himG846; lestG3379 he haleG2694 theeG4771 toG4314 the judgeG3588G2923, andG2532 the judgeG3588G2923 deliverG3860 theeG4771 to the officerG3588G4233, andG2532 the officerG3588G4233 castG906 theeG4771 intoG1519 prisonG5438. 59I tellG3004 theeG4771, thou shaltG1831 notG3756 departG1831 thenceG1564, tillG2193 thou hast paidG591 theG3016 veryG2532 lastG2078 miteG3016.
