¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

²And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn with the sword.

³⁵¶ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

³⁵¶ ^*And Iames, and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedee come vnto him, saying, Master, we would y ^t thou shouldest do for vs whatsoeuer we shall desire.

³³And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

³³And hee taketh with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heauy,

¹⁷And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

¹⁷And Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn the brother of Iames (and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sonnes of thunder.)

³⁷And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

³⁷And he suffered no man to follow him, saue Peter, & Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

²¶ And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

²¶ ^*And after sixe dayes, Iesus taketh with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and leadeth them vp into an high mountaine apart by themselues: and he was transfigured before them.

²¹And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

²¹And going on from thence, hee sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.

²⁶If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

^26*If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his owne life also, hee cannot be my disciple.

²⁹And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,

²⁹And Iesus answered, and said, Uerily I say vnto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the Gospels,

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

^37*He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthy of me: and he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me.

²⁰And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

²⁰And he left the oxen, and ranne after Eliiah, and said, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee: and he said vnto him, ^†Goe backe againe; for what haue I done to thee?

¹⁶Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

¹⁶Wherefore hencefoorth know we no man, after the flesh: yea, though we haue knowen Christ after the flesh, yet now hencefoorth knowe wee him no more.

²¹And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

²²And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

²¹And going on from thence, hee sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.

²²And they immediatly left the shippe and their father, and followed him.

²¹And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

²²But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

²¹And another of his Disciples said vnto him, Lord, suffer me first to goe, and bury my father.

²²But Iesus said vnto him, Follow me, & let the dead, bury their dead.

⁹Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

⁹Who said vnto his father & to his mother, I haue not seene him, neither did hee acknowledge his brethren; nor knew his owne children: for they haue obserued thy word, and kept thy Couenant.

²And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

²And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue: and many hearing him, were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? And what wisedome is this which is giuen vnto him, that euen such mightie workes are wrought by his hands?

³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

³⁹And he preached in their Synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out deuils.

²³¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

²³¶ And Iesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing all maner of sickenesse, and all maner of disease among the people.

¹⁴¶ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁵And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

¹⁷The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

¹⁸And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

¹⁹And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

²⁰And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

²²And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

²³Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

²⁴When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

²⁷For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁸And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead:

³¹And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

³²And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

³³God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

³⁵Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

³⁸¶ Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

³⁹And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

⁴¹Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

⁴²And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

⁴³Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴¶ And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

⁴⁸And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

⁵¹But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁴¶ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sate downe.

¹⁵And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

¹⁶Then Paul stood vp, and beckning with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that feare God, giue audience.

¹⁷The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people ^*when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, ^*and with an high arme brought he them out of it.

^18*And about the time of fourtie yeeres ^†suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

¹⁹And when he had destroyed seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, ^*he diuided their land to them by lot:

²⁰And after that ^*he gaue vnto them iudges, about the space of foure hundred and fifty yeeres vntill Samuel the Prophet.

²¹And afterward they desired a King, ^*and God gaue vnto them Saul the sonne of Cis, a man of the tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

²²And when he had remoued him, ^*hee raised vp vnto them Dauid to be their king, to whom also he gaue testimonie, and said, ^*I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine own heart, which shal fulfill all my wil.

^23*Of this mans seed hath God, according to his promise, raised vnto Israel a Sauiour, Iesus:

^24*When Iohn had first preached before his coming, the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵And as Iohn fulfilled his course, he said, ^*Whom thinke ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there commeth one after me, whose shooes of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶Men and brethren, children of the stocke of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the word of this saluation sent.

²⁷For they that dwell at Hierusalem, & their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the Prophets which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

^28*And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slaine.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and layd him in a Sepulchre.

^30*But God raised him frō the dead:

³¹And he was seene many dayes of them which came vp with him from Galilee to Hierusalem, who are his witnesses vnto the people.

³²And we declare vnto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made vnto the fathers,

³³God hath fulfilled the same vnto vs their children, in that he hath raised vp Iesus againe, as it is also written in the ^*second Psalme: Thou art my Sonne, this day haue I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, now no more to returne to corruption, he said on this wise, ^*I will giue you the sure ^†mercies of Dauid.

³⁵Wherfore he saith also in another Psalme, ^*Thou shalt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption.

³⁶For Dauid after he had serued his ^‖owne generation by the will of God, ^*fell on sleepe, and was laide vnto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But hee whom God raised againe, saw no corruption.

³⁸¶ Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

³⁹And by him all y ^t beleeue, are iustified from all things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses.

⁴⁰Beware therefore, least that come vpon you which is spoken of ^*in the Prophets,

⁴¹Behold, yee despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I worke a worke in your dayes, a worke which you shall in no wise beleeue, though a man declare it vnto you.

⁴²And when the Iewes were gone out of the Synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them ^‖the next Sabbath.

⁴³Now when the Congregation was broken vp, many of the Iewes, and religious Proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, perswaded them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴¶ And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together to heare the word of God.

⁴⁵But when the Iewes saw the multitudes, they were filled with enuie, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting, and blaspheming.

⁴⁶Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first haue bene spoken to you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthy of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord cōmanded vs, saying, ^*I haue set thee to bee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for saluation vnto the ends of the earth.

⁴⁸And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined to eternall life, beleeued.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

⁵⁰But the Iewes stirred vp the deuout and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

^51*But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

⁵²And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.

²And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

²And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath dayes reasoned with them out of the Scriptures,

⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

⁴And hee reasoned in the Synagogue euery Sabbath, and perswaded the Iewes, and the Greekes.

¹³And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

¹³And leauing Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is vpon the Sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthali:

¹⁵And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

¹⁵And thou Capernaum, which art exalted to heauen, shalt be thrust downe to hell.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath.

¹⁶¶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

¹⁶¶ And hee came to ^*Nazareth, where he had bene brought vp, and as his custome was, he went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood vp for to reade.

³¹And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

³³¶ And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

³⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

³⁶And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁷And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

³¹And came downe to Capernaum, a citie of Galile, and taught them on the Sabbath dayes.

³²And they were astonished at his doctrine: ^*for his worde was with power.

³³¶ ^*And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, and cryed out with a loud voice,

³⁴Saying, ^‖Let vs alone, what haue wee to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

³⁵And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. And when the deuill had throwen him in the middes, hee came out of him, and hurt him not.

³⁶And they were all amazed, and spake among themselues, saying, What a word is this? for with authoritie and power hee commaundeth the vncleane spirits, and they come out.

³⁷And the fame of him went out into euery place of the countrey round about.

¹AND he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

¹¶ ^*And he rose from thence, & commeth into the coasts of Iudea by the farther side of Iordan: and the people resort vnto him againe, and as he was wont, he taught them againe.

¹AND again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

¹¶ And againe ^*hee entred into Capernaum after some dayes, and it was noysed that he was in the house.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

²⁹For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

²⁸And it came to passe, when Iesus had ended these sayings, ^*the people were astonished at his doctrine.

²⁹For he taught them as one hauing authoritie, and not as the Scribes.

⁵⁴And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

^54*And when hee was come into his owne countrey, he taught them in their Synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisedome, and these mighty works?

²⁹ Is not my word like as a fire, saith the LORD? and like a hammer that breaketh the rocke in pieces?

⁴⁶The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

⁴⁶The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.

¹⁵For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

¹⁵For I will giue you a mouth and wisedome, which all your aduersaries shall not be able to gainsay, nor resist.

²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

²But haue renounced the hidden things of ^†dishonesty, not walking in craftines, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the trueth, commending our selues to euery mans conscience, in the sight of God.

²¹But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²¹But all that heard him, were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent that he might bring them bound vnto the chiefe Priests?

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, proouing that this is very Christ.

¹²For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹³Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹²For the word of God is quicke and powerfull, and sharper then any two edged sword, pearcing euen to the diuiding asunder of soule and spirit, and of the ioynts and marrowe, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹³Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked, and opened vnto the eyes of him with whome wee haue to doe.

³For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

⁵Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

⁶He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁸For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

⁹And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

¹²And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

³For the Pharises and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands ^‖oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not. And many other things there be, which they haue receiued to hold, as the washing of cups and ^‖pots, brasen vessels, and of ^†tables.

⁵Then the Pharises and Scribes asked him, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate bread with vnwashen hands?

⁶He answered and said vnto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you Hypocrites, as it is written, ^*This people honoureth mee with their lips, but their heart is farre from me.

⁷Howbeit in vaine doe they worship me, teaching for doctrines, the commandements of men.

⁸For laying aside the Commandement of God, yee hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots, and cups: and many other such like things ye doe.

⁹And he said vnto them, Full well ye ^‖reiect the Commandement of God, that ye may keepe your owne tradition.

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father & thy mother: and who so curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is ^*Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoeuer thou mightest be profited by me: he shalbe free.

¹²And ye suffer him no more to doe ought for his father, or his mother:

¹³Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye haue deliuered: And many such like things doe ye.

¹⁶Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

¹⁷Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

¹⁸And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

¹⁹Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

²⁰Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

²¹And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

²²And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

²³Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

²⁴Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

¹⁶Woe vnto you, yee blind guides, which say, Whosoeuer shall sweare by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer shal sweare by the gold of the Temple, he is a debter.

¹⁷ Ye fooles and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the Temple that sanctifieth the gold?

¹⁸And whosoeuer shall sweare by the Altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the gift that is vpon it, he is ^‖guiltie.

¹⁹ Ye fooles and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the Altar that sanctifieth the gift?

²⁰Who so therefore shall sweare by the Altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

²¹And who so shall sweare by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

²²And he that shall sweare by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

²³Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; ^*for yee pay tithe of mint, and annise, and cummine, and haue omitted the weightier matters of the Law, iudgement, mercie and faith: these ought ye to haue done, and not to leaue the other vndone.

²⁴ Ye blind guides, which straine at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
