WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.660 Chapter 12 In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable 00:05.660 --> 00:11.000 multitude of people, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say 00:11.000 --> 00:15.700 unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, 00:15.800 --> 00:16.760 which is hypocrisy. 00:17.820 --> 00:22.180 For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall 00:22.180 --> 00:22.820 not be known. 00:24.100 --> 00:28.240 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light. 00:28.240 --> 00:33.540 And that which ye have spoken in the ear, in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the 00:33.540 --> 00:34.120 housetops. 00:34.820 --> 00:40.140 And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, 00:40.800 --> 00:43.240 and after that have no more that they can do. 00:44.120 --> 00:46.560 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear. 00:47.700 --> 00:51.700 Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. 00:52.500 --> 00:55.160 Yea, I say unto you, fear him. 00:55.800 --> 01:00.360 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is 01:00.360 --> 01:01.460 forgotten before God? 01:02.680 --> 01:05.300 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 01:06.540 --> 01:07.560 Fear not therefore. 01:08.920 --> 01:11.360 Ye are of more value than many sparrows. 01:12.380 --> 01:18.280 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son 01:18.280 --> 01:20.920 of Man also confess before the angels of God. 01:21.740 --> 01:26.480 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 01:27.320 --> 01:32.180 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. 01:32.640 --> 01:37.380 But unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven. 01:38.300 --> 01:42.220 And when they bring you unto the synagogues and unto magistrates and 01:42.220 --> 01:47.120 powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer or what ye shall 01:47.120 --> 01:47.460 say. 01:48.320 --> 01:52.700 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 01:52.700 --> 01:57.440 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother that he divide 01:57.440 --> 01:58.820 the inheritance with me. 01:59.080 --> 02:04.200 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 02:04.380 --> 02:08.340 And he said unto them, Take heed and beware of covetousness. 02:09.080 --> 02:12.580 For a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he 02:12.580 --> 02:13.120 possesseth. 02:13.300 --> 02:17.580 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man 02:17.580 --> 02:18.780 brought forth plentifully. 02:19.580 --> 02:23.820 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no 02:23.820 --> 02:25.360 room where to bestow my fruits? 02:25.820 --> 02:28.300 And he said, This will I do. 02:29.120 --> 02:31.840 I will pull down my barns and build greater. 02:32.500 --> 02:35.460 And there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 02:35.800 --> 02:40.940 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many 02:40.940 --> 02:41.420 years. 02:42.080 --> 02:45.920 Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 02:46.900 --> 02:53.760 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of 02:53.760 --> 02:53.980 thee. 02:54.840 --> 02:58.120 Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? 02:59.380 --> 03:03.900 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 03:04.180 --> 03:09.000 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought 03:09.000 --> 03:13.540 for your life, what ye shall eat, neither for the body what ye shall put on. 03:13.540 --> 03:17.800 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 03:18.840 --> 03:24.240 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which neither have storehouse 03:24.240 --> 03:26.660 nor barn, and God feedeth them. 03:27.480 --> 03:29.740 How much more are ye better than the fowls? 03:30.260 --> 03:34.340 And which of you, with taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? 03:35.060 --> 03:39.960 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for 03:39.960 --> 03:40.440 the rest? 03:41.220 --> 03:43.200 Consider the lilies, how they grow. 03:43.700 --> 03:46.200 They toil not, they spin not. 03:46.940 --> 03:52.420 And yet I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of 03:52.420 --> 03:52.780 these. 03:54.040 --> 03:59.500 If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow 03:59.500 --> 04:05.540 is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 04:06.320 --> 04:12.540 And seek not ye what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful 04:12.540 --> 04:13.000 mind. 04:13.860 --> 04:19.160 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knoweth 04:19.160 --> 04:20.800 that ye have need of these things. 04:21.640 --> 04:26.820 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto 04:26.820 --> 04:27.120 you. 04:28.340 --> 04:32.880 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the 04:32.880 --> 04:33.560 kingdom. 04:33.560 --> 04:36.560 Sell that ye have, and give alms. 04:37.260 --> 04:41.760 Provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth 04:41.760 --> 04:45.760 not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 04:46.740 --> 04:50.700 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 04:51.740 --> 04:55.060 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning. 04:56.280 --> 05:00.560 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord, when he will return from 05:00.560 --> 05:04.680 the wedding, that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him 05:04.680 --> 05:05.260 immediately. 05:06.400 --> 05:10.480 Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. 05:11.600 --> 05:16.420 Verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to 05:16.420 --> 05:18.880 meet, and will come forth and serve them. 05:19.960 --> 05:24.200 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them 05:24.200 --> 05:26.700 so, blessed are those servants. 05:27.540 --> 05:32.420 And this know, that if the good man of the house had known what hour the thief would 05:32.420 --> 05:36.820 come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 05:37.980 --> 05:43.680 Be ye therefore ready also, for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 05:44.040 --> 05:48.060 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, 05:48.220 --> 05:49.160 or even to all? 05:49.420 --> 05:54.020 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord 05:54.020 --> 05:57.700 shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due 05:57.700 --> 05:58.060 season? 05:59.080 --> 06:03.520 Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. 06:04.520 --> 06:09.040 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 06:10.200 --> 06:15.520 But, and if that servant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming, and shall 06:15.520 --> 06:18.640 begin to beat the men's servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, 06:18.760 --> 06:22.480 and to be drunken, the Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh 06:22.480 --> 06:27.060 not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, 06:27.380 --> 06:29.680 and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 06:30.720 --> 06:34.480 And that servant, which knew his Lord's will, and prepared not himself, 06:35.000 --> 06:38.780 neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 06:39.600 --> 06:44.660 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten 06:44.660 --> 06:45.600 with few stripes. 06:46.300 --> 06:50.580 For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required. 06:50.580 --> 06:55.280 And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. 06:56.520 --> 07:01.980 I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled? 07:02.800 --> 07:07.660 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straightened till it be 07:07.660 --> 07:08.080 accomplished? 07:09.420 --> 07:12.120 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? 07:12.840 --> 07:16.200 I tell you, nay, but rather division. 07:17.260 --> 07:23.080 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, 07:23.280 --> 07:24.440 and two against three. 07:25.260 --> 07:29.500 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, 07:30.180 --> 07:32.980 the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, 07:33.840 --> 07:37.340 the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law 07:37.340 --> 07:38.520 against her mother-in-law. 07:38.780 --> 07:43.320 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, 07:43.320 --> 07:47.980 straightway, ye say, there cometh a shower, and so it is. 07:48.520 --> 07:53.480 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, there will be heat, and it cometh 07:53.480 --> 07:54.080 to pass. 07:55.000 --> 07:56.000 Ye hypocrites! 07:56.800 --> 08:01.760 Ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it that ye do not 08:01.760 --> 08:03.120 discern this time? 08:04.360 --> 08:07.580 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 08:08.620 --> 08:12.900 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, 08:13.540 --> 08:17.640 give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him, lest he hail thee to 08:17.640 --> 08:22.060 the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee 08:22.060 --> 08:22.620 into prison. 08:23.340 --> 08:30.000 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
