THE GENEALOGY AND BIRTH OF CHRIST. 1 [1:1]AN account of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the\nson of Abraham. [1:2]Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and\nJacob begat Judah and his brothers; [1:3]and Judah begat Pharez and\nZarah by Thamar; and Pharez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram,\n[1:4]and Ram begat Aminadab, and Aminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon\nbegat Salmon, [1:5]and Salmon begat Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed\nby Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, [1:6]and Jesse begat David the king. 2 And David begat Solomon by the wife of Uriah, [1:7]and Solomon begat\nRehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa, [1:8]and Asa\nbegat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Jehoram, and Jehoram begat\nUzziah, [1:9]and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz\nbegat Hezekiah, [1:10]and Hezekiah begat Manassah, and Manassah begat\nAmon, and Amon begat Josiah, [1:11] and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his\nbrothers at the Babylonian exile. 3 [1:12]After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and\nShealtiel begat Zerubabel, [1:13]and Zerubabel begat Abiud, and Abiud\nbegat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azar, [1:14]and Azar begat Zadoc, and\nZadoc begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud, [1:15]and Eliud begat\nEleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob, [1:16]and\nJacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, called\nChrist. [1:17]All the generations therefore, from Abraham to David, are\nfourteen generations; and from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen\ngenerations; and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ, fourteen\ngenerations. 4 [1:18]The birth of Christ was thus. His mother Mary having been\nespoused to Joseph, before they came together, was found to be with\nchild by the Holy Spirit. [1:19]But Joseph her husband being a\nrighteous man, and not wishing to make her an example, was designing to\nput her away privately. [1:20]But while he was thinking of these\nthings, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,\nsaying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary your wife, for that\nwhich is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit, [1:21]and she shall\nbear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his\npeople from their sins. 5 [1:22]But all this was done, that the word of the Lord might be\nfulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying; [1:23]Behold, the\nvirgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call\nhis name Emmanuel; which is interpreted, God is with us. [1:24]And when\nJoseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had\ncommanded him, and took his wife, [1:25]and knew her not till she bore\na son, and he called his name Jesus. CHAPTER II. THE INFANCY OF CHRIST. 1 [2:1]AND Jesus being born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of Herod\nthe king, behold Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying,\n[2:2]Where is the king of the Jews born? For we have seen his star in\nthe East, and have come to worship him. [2:3]And Herod the king hearing\nthis was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [2:4]and assembling all\nthe chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where\nthe Christ is born. [2:5]And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea;\nfor thus it is written by the prophet; [2:6]And you Bethlehem, land of\nJudah, are by no means least among the governors of Judah, for out of\nyou shall come a governor who shall rule my people Israel. 2 [2:7]Then Herod, calling the Magi secretly, asked them the precise\ntime when the star appeared; [2:8]and sending them to Bethlehem, said,\nGo and inquire diligently for the young child, and when you have found\nhim, tell me, that I also may come and worship him. [2:9]And hearing\nthe king, they departed; and behold, the star which they saw in the\nEast went before them, till it came and stood over where the young\nchild was. [2:10]And seeing the star they rejoiced with great joy;\n[2:11]and coming into the house they saw the young child with Mary his\nmother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their\ntreasures they presented him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. [2:12] And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod,\nthey departed to their country another way. 3 [2:13]And when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord\nappeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child\nand his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there till I tell you;\nfor Herod will seek the young child to destroy it. [2:14]And he arose\nand took the young child and his mother by night, and fled into Egypt,\n[2:15]and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be\nfulfilled, which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying; Out of Egypt\nhave I called my son. 4 [2:16]Then Herod seeing that he was despised by the Magi, was\nexceedingly angry, and sent and destroyed all the children in\nBethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under,\naccording to the precise time which he had learned of the Magi. [2:17]Thus was fulfilled the word spoken by Jeremiah the prophet,\nsaying; [2:18]A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and great\nmourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted\nbecause they were not. 5 [2:19]And when Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared\nto Joseph in a dream, in Egypt, saying, [2:20]Arise, and take the young\nchild and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead\nthat sought the young child's life. [2:21]And he arose and took the\nyoung child and his mother, and went into the land of Israel. [2:22]But\nhearing that Archelaus reigned over Judea in the place of Herod his\nfather, he was afraid to go there; but being divinely instructed in a\ndream, he departed into the parts of Galilee, [2:23] and went and lived\nin a city called Nazareth, that the word spoken by the prophets might\nbe fulfilled, He shall be called a Nazoraean. CHAPTER III. CHRIST'S BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION. 1 [3:1]AND in those days came John the Baptist preaching in the\nwilderness of Judea, saying, [3:2]Change your minds, for the kingdom of\nHeaven is at hand. [3:3]For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the\nprophet, saying; A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the\nway of the Lord, make his paths straight. [3:4]And this John had his\nclothes of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins, and his\nfood was locusts and wild honey. [3:5]Then went out to him Jerusalem,\nand all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan, [3:6] and were\nbaptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 2 [3:7]And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come for the\nbaptism, he said to them; Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to\nflee from the wrath to come?\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-01, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-03 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [3:8]Bear fruit, therefore, worthy of a\nchange of mind; [3:9]and think not to say within yourselves, We have\nAbraham for a father; for I tell you that God is able of these stones\nto raise up children to Abraham; [3:10]and already the axe lies at the\nroot of the trees; every tree, therefore, which bears not good fruit is\ncut down and cast into the fire. [3:11]I indeed baptize you with water\nto a change of mind; but he that comes after me is mightier than I,\nwhose shoes I am not fit to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy\nSpirit, and fire; [3:12]whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he\nwill thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into\nthe storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with an inextinguishable\nfire. 3 [3:13]Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be\nbaptized by him. [3:14]But, he refused him, saying, I have need to be\nbaptized by you, and do you come to me? [3:15]But Jesus answered and\nsaid to him, Suffer me now; for thus, it becomes us to complete all\nrighteousness. Then he suffered him; [3:16] and Jesus being baptized\nwent up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were\nopened, and he saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and come upon\nhim. [3:17]And behold, a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my\nbeloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. 4 [4:1]Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be\ntempted by the devil. [4:2]And having fasted forty days and forty\nnights, he was afterwards hungry. [4:3]And the tempter came and said to\nhim, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread. [4:4]And he answered and said; It is written, man shall not live by\nbread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. [4:5]Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the\npinnacle of the temple, [4:6]and said to him, If you are the Son of\nGod, cast yourself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels\ncharge concerning you, and they shall take you up on their hands, lest\nat any time you dash your foot against a stone. [4:7]Jesus said to him,\nAgain it is written, You shall not try the Lord your God. [4:8]Again\nthe devil took him away on a very high mountain, and showed him all the\nkingdoms of the world, and their glory, [4:9]and said to him, All these\nthings will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me. [4:10]Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written,\nYou shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. [4:11]Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and waited on him. CHAPTER IV. CHRIST COMMENCING HIS PUBLIC MINISTRY. 1 [4:12]AND when he heard that John was delivered up, he departed to\nGalilee; [4:13]and leaving Nazareth he came and lived at Capernaum on\nthe lake, in the bounds of Zebulon and Naphtali, [4:14]that the word\nmight be fulfilled, spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; [4:15]Land of\nZebulon and Naphtali, by the way of the lake, beyond the Jordan,\nGalilee of the nations, [4:16]the people who sat in darkness have seen\na great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shade of death\nhas light arisen. [4:17]From that time Jesus began to preach, and to\nsay, Change your minds; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 2 [4:18]And walking by the lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon,\ncalled Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for\nthey were fishermen. [4:19]And he said to them, Come after me, and I\nwill make you fishermen of men. [4:20]And they left their nets,\nimmediately, and followed him. [4:21]And going forward thence, he saw\ntwo other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in\nthe ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called\nthem. [4:22]And they immediately left the ship and their father, and\nfollowed him. 3 [4:23]And he went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,\npreaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and\nevery infirmity among the people. [4:24]And his fame went out into all\nSyria; and they brought him all that were ill, afflicted with various\ndiseases and torments, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and\nhe cured them; [4:25] and great multitudes followed him from Galilee,\nand Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan. CHAPTER V. CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT. 1 [5:1]AND seeing the multitudes, he went on the mountain and sat down;\nand his disciples came to him. [5:2]And he opened his mouth and taught\nthem, saying; [5:3]Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the\nkingdom of heaven. [5:5] Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit\nthe earth. [5:4]Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be\ncomforted. [5:6]Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for\nrighteousness, for they shall be filled. [5:7]Blessed are the\nmerciful, for they shall obtain mercy. [5:8]Blessed are the pure in\nheart, for they shall see God. [5:9]Blessed are the peace makers, for\nthey shall be called children of God. [5:10]Blessed are the persecuted\nfor righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [5:11]Blessed\nare you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every\nevil against you, falsely, for my sake. [5:12] Rejoice and exult, for\ngreat is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who\nwere before you. 2 [5:13]You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its\nstrength, with what shall it be seasoned? It is good for nothing more,\nexcept being cast out to be trodden upon by men. [5:14]You are the\nlight of the world. A city situated on a mountain cannot be hid. [5:15]Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a modius [1.916\ngallon measure], but on a candlestick, and it shines to all in the\nhouse. [5:16]Let your light so shine before men that they may see your\ngood works, and glorify your father in heaven. [5:17]Think not that I\nhave come to destroy the law or the prophets; I have not come to\ndestroy but to complete. [5:18]For I tell you truly, that till heaven\nand earth pass away, one iota or one point shall by no means pass away\nfrom the law till all things are accomplished. [5:19]Whoever therefore\nshall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so,\nshall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do\nand teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [5:20]For\nI tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes\nand Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven. 3 [5:21]You have heard that it was said by the ancients, You shall not\nkill; and whoever kills shall be subject to the judgment. [5:22]But I\ntell you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be subject\nto the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, Worthless fellow,\nshall be subject to the Sanhedrim; and whoever says, You fool, shall be\nsubject to the hell of fire. [5:23]If, therefore, you offer your gift\non the altar, and there remember that your brother has any thing\nagainst you, [5:24]leave there your gift before the altar, and go and\nfirst be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-03, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-04 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [5:25]Agree with your accuser quickly, while you are with him in the\nway, lest the accuser deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver\nyou to the officer, and you be cast into prison. [5:26]I tell you\ntruly, you shall not go out thence till you have paid the last quadrans\n[4 mills]. 4 [5:27]You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery;\n[5:28] but I tell you, that every one who looks on a woman to desire\nher inordinately, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. [5:29]But if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it from\nyou; for it is better for you that one of your members should perish,\nand not that your whole body should be cast into hell. [5:30]And if\nyour right hand offends you, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is\nbetter for you that one of your members should perish, and not that\nyour whole body should go into hell. [5:31]And it was said, Whoever\nwould put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement. [5:32]\nBut I tell you, that whoever puts away his wife, except for adultery,\ncauses her to commit adultery; and whoever marries her that is put\naway, commits adultery. [5:33]Again, you have heard that it was said by\nthe ancients, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the\nLord your oaths. [5:34]But I tell you, Swear not at all; neither by\nheaven, for it is God's throne; [5:35]nor by the earth, for it is his\nfootstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;\n[5:36]nor swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or\nblack. [5:37]But let your speech be, yes, yes, and no, no; for any\nthing more than this is evil. 5 [5:38]You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth\nfor a tooth. [5:39]But I tell you not to resist the evil man; but\nwhoever shall strike you on the right cheek, turn to him the other\nalso; [5:40]and if a man wishes to have a law suit with you, and take\naway your coat, let him have your cloak also; [5:41]and whoever shall\ncompel you to go one mile, go two miles with him. [5:42]Give to him\nthat asks, and from him that would borrow of you turn not away. [5:43]You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor,\nand hate your enemy. [5:44]But I tell you, Love your enemies, and pray\nfor those that persecute you; [5:45]that you may be children of your\nFather in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the\ngood, and rains on the just and unjust. [5:46]For if you love those\nthat love you, what reward have you? Do not the publicans the same? [5:47]And if you salute your brothers only, what do you do more than\n[others]? Do not the gentiles also do the same? [5:48]Be therefore\nperfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 6 [6:1]But take heed not to perform your righteousness before men, to\nbe seen by them; otherwise indeed, you have no reward from your Father\nin heaven. [6:2] When, therefore, you give in charity, sound not a\ntrumpet before you, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the\nstreets, that they may be glorified by men. I tell you truly, they have\ntheir reward. [6:3]But when you give in charity let not your left hand\nknow what your right hand does, [6:4]that your charity may be in\nsecret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you. 7 [6:5]And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites; for they love to\npray standing in the synagogues, and at the corners of the streets,\nthat they may be seen by men. I tell you truly, they have their reward. [6:6]But when you pray enter into your private room, and having shut\nyour door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who\nsees in secret shall reward you. [6:7]And when you pray use not vain\nrepetitions, as the gentiles do; for they think they shall be heard for\ntheir much speaking. [6:8]Be not, therefore, like them; for your\nFather knows what you need before you ask him. [6:9]Pray, therefore,\nthus; Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name; [6:10]thy kingdom\ncome; thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth; [6:11]give us to-day\nour essential bread, [6:12]and forgive us our debts as we forgive our\ndebtors; [6:13]and bring us not into trial, but deliver us from evil. [6:14]For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will\nforgive you; [6:15]but if you forgive not men, neither will your Father\nforgive your offenses. 8 [6:16]And when you fast, be not like the hypocrites, of a sad\ncountenance; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men\nto fast. I tell you truly, they have their reward. [6:17]But when you\nfast, anoint your head, and wash your face, [6:18]that you may not\nappear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret; and your Father\nwho sees in secret shall reward you. 9 [6:19]Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where a moth\nand corrosion destroy, and where thieves dig through and steal. [6:20]But lay up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither a\nmoth nor corrosion destroys, and where thieves dig not through nor\nsteal; [6:21]for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 10 [6:22]The light of the body is the eye. If, therefore, your eye is\nsound, your whole body will be light; [6:23]but if your eye is evil,\nyour whole body will be dark. If, therefore, the light which is in you\nis darkness, how great is the darkness! [6:24]No one can serve two\nmasters; for either he will hate the first, and love the other, or he\nwill adhere to the first, and despise the other. You cannot serve God\nand riches. [6:25]On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your\nsoul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body,\nwhat you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body\nmore than clothing? [6:26]Look at the birds of heaven; they sow not,\nneither do they reap, nor gather into store-houses; but your heavenly\nFather feeds them. Are you not much better than they? [6:27]Which of\nyou by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? [6:28]And why\nare you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field,\nhow they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin;\n[6:29]but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like\none of these. [6:30]And if God so clothes the grass of the field,\nwhich to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much\nmore clothe you, men of little faith? [6:31]Be not anxious, therefore,\nsaying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall\nwe be clothed? [6:32]For after all these things the gentiles seek; and\nyour heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [6:33]But\nseek first righteousness and his kingdom, and all these things shall be\nadded to you. [6:34]Be not anxious, therefore, for to-morrow, for\nto-morrow will be anxious for its; sufficient for the day is its evil. 11 [7:1]Judge not, that you be not judged; [7:2]for with what judgment\nyou judge you shall be judged; and with what measure you measure it\nshall be measured to you. [7:3]And why do you see a speck in your\nbrother's eye, and not consider a beam in your own eye?\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-04, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-06 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [7:4]or how\nwill you say to your brother, Let me cast out the speck from your eye,\nand behold a beam in your own eye? [7:5] Hypocrite, cast out first the\nbeam from your eye, and then will you see clearly to cast out the speck\nfrom your brother's eye. [7:6]Give not a holy thing to dogs, neither\ncast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their\nfeet, and turn and rend you. [7:7]Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek,\nand you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. [7:8]For\nevery one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him\nthat knocks, it shall be opened. [7:9]Or is there any man of you, who,\nif his son asks bread of him, will give him a stone? [7:10]or if he\nasks a fish, will give him a serpent? [7:11]If you then, being evil,\nknow how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your\nFather in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him. [7:12]All\nthings, therefore, which you wish men to do to you, do also thus to\nthem; for this is the law and the prophets. 12 [7:13]Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate; and\nspacious the way which leads to destruction, and many are they that\nenter in by it; [7:14]for narrow is the gate, and compressed the way\nwhich leads to life, and few are those who find it. [7:15]But beware of\nfalse prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but within they\nare rapacious wolves. [7:16]You shall know them by their fruits. Do men\ngather grapes from thorns? or figs from thistles? [7:17]So every good\ntree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruits; [7:18]a good\ntree cannot bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree good fruits. [7:19] Every\ntree which bears not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. [7:20] By their fruits, therefore, you shall know them. 13 [7:21]Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into\nthe kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in\nheaven. [7:22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not\nprophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your\nname performed many mighty works? [7:23]and then will I confess to\nthem, I never knew you; depart from me you that commit wickedness. 14 [7:24]Every one, therefore, that hears these words of mine and\nperforms them, I will liken to a wise man who built his house on the\nrock; [7:25]and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds\nblew and beat on that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on the\nrock. [7:26]And every one who hears these words of mine and performs\nthem not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house on the\nsand; [7:27]and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds\nblew and beat on that house, and it fell; and its fall was great. [7:28]And when Jesus had finished these words the multitudes were\nastonished at his teaching; [7:29]for he taught them as having\nauthority, and not as their scribes. CHAPTER VI. CHRIST'S MIRACLES, PREVIOUS TO THE APPOINTMENT OF HIS TWELVE APOSTLES. 1 [8:1]AND when he went down from the mountain great multitudes\nfollowed him; [8:2]and behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying,\nLord, if you will, you can cleanse me. [8:3]And stretching out his\nhand, he touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed; and his leprosy was\nimmediately cleansed. [8:4]And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no\nman, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which\nMoses commanded for a testimony to them. 2 [8:5]And when he entered into Capernaum a centurion came to him,\nbeseeching him, [8:6]and saying; Lord, my servant lies sick in my house\nwith paralysis, exceedingly distressed. [8:7]He said to him, I will\ncome and cure him. [8:8] And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I\nam not fit that you should come under my roof; but only say the word\nand my servant will be cured. [8:9]For I also am a man under\nauthority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and he\ngoes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this,\nand he does it. [8:10]Jesus hearing wondered and said to those that\nfollowed him, I tell you truly, I have not found so great a faith with\nany one in Israel; [8:11]and I tell you that many shall come from the\nEast and from the West, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and\nJacob in the kingdom of heaven, [8:12]but the children of the kingdom\nshall be cast into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and\ngnashing of teeth. [8:13]And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; as you\nhave believed be it to you; and the servant was cured at that hour. 3 [8:14]And Jesus coming into the house of Peter, saw his wife's mother\nlying and sick with a fever. [8:15]And he touched her hand, and the\nfever left her; and she arose and waited on them. [8:16]And when it\nwas evening they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the\nspirits with a word, and cured all that were sick, [8:17]that the word\nmight be fulfilled spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; He took our\ninfirmities and bore our diseases. 4 [8:18]And Jesus seeing great multitudes around him commanded them to\ngo away to the other side. [8:19]And a certain scribe came and said to\nhim, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. [8:20]And Jesus said\nto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have places of\nshelter, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head. [8:21]Another of the disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go\naway and bury my father. [8:22]But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and\nlet the dead bury their dead. [8:23]And he entered into a ship, and his\ndisciples followed him. [8:24]And behold there was a great tempest on\nthe lake, so that the ship was covered with the waves; but he was\nasleep. [8:25] And they came and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us; we\nperish. [8:26]And he said to them, Why are you afraid, men of little\nfaith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was\na great calm. [8:27]And the men wondered, saying, What kind of a man is\nthis, that the winds and the lake obey him? 5 [8:28]And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the\nGadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly\nfierce, so that no man could pass that way. [8:29]And behold they\ncried, saying, What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come\nhither before the time to torment us? [8:30]And there was far off from\nthem a herd of many swine feeding. [8:31]And, the demons besought him,\nsaying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine. [8:32]And\nhe said to them, Go. And going out, they went away into the herd of\nswine, and, behold, the whole herd rushed down a precipice into the\nlake, and died in the waters; [8:33]and those who fed them fled, and\ngoing away into the city reported all things, and the events relating\nto the demoniacs. [8:34]And behold all the city came out to meet Jesus;\nand when they saw him they besought him to depart from their bounds.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-06, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-07 The user is reading a book]\n<User> 6 [9:1]And entering a ship, he crossed over, and came to his own city;\n[9:2] and behold they brought him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And\nJesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good\ncourage; your sins are forgiven. [9:3]And behold some of the scribes\nsaid within themselves, This man blasphemes. [9:4]And Jesus observing\ntheir thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? [9:5]For in\nwhat respect is it easier to say, Your sins are forgiven, than to say,\nArise and walk? [9:6]But that you may know that the Son of man has\npower on the earth to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic,\nArise, take up your bed, and go to your house. [9:7]And he arose and\ndeparted to his house. [9:8]And when the multitudes saw it they were\nafraid, and glorified God who had given such power to men. 7 [9:9]And Jesus departing thence saw a man sitting at the\ncustom-house, called Matthew; and he said to him, Follow me. And he\narose and followed him. [9:10] And he was reclining in the house, and\nbehold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his\ndisciples. [9:11]And when the Pharisees saw them they said to his\ndisciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners? [9:12]And hearing it he said, The well need not a physician, but the\nsick. [9:13]Go and learn what this means: I wish for mercy and not a\nsacrifice; for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 8 [9:14]Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and\nthe Pharisees fast much, but your disciples fast not? [9:15]And Jesus\nsaid to them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn as long as the\nbridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom\nwill be taken from them, and then they shalt fast. [9:16]But no one\nputs a piece of unfilled cloth on an old garment; for it takes away its\nfullness from the garment, and the rent is made worse. [9:17]Neither do\nthey put new wine into old bottles; otherwise the bottles break, and\nthe wine is poured out and the bottles destroyed; but they put new wine\ninto new bottles, and both are preserved. 9 [9:18]While he was saying these words to them, behold a ruler came\nand worshipped him, saying, My daughter is now dead, but come and put\nyour hand on her and she shall live. [9:19]And Jesus arose and followed\nhim, and his disciples. [9:20]And behold a woman having a hemorrhage of\ntwelve years approached him from behind, and touched the fringe of his\ngarment; [9:21]for she said within herself, If I can only touch his\ngarment I shall be cured. [9:22]And Jesus turning around and seeing\nher, said, Daughter, be of good courage, your faith has cured you. And\nthe woman was cured from that hour. 10 [9:23]And Jesus coming into the house of the ruler, and seeing the\nmusicians and the multitude making a tumultuous noise, [9:24]said, Go\naway; for the girl is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him. [9:25]But when the multitude were removed he went in and took her hand,\nand the girl arose. [9:26]And the report went out into all that land. 11 [9:27]And as Jesus was departing thence two blind men followed him,\ncrying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David! [9:28]And when he\nhad gone into the house the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to\nthem, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes,\nLord. [9:29]Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith\nbe it to you; [9:30]and their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them\nstrictly, saying, See that no one knows it. [9:31]But they went out and\nmade him known in all that land. 12 [9:32]And when they had gone away, behold, the people brought to him\na man, a dumb demoniac. [9:33]And the demon being cast out, the dumb\nspoke; and the multitudes wondered, saying, It was never so seen in\nIsrael. [9:34]But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons by the ruler\nof the demons. 13 [9:35]And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in\ntheir synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and\ncuring every disease, and every infirmity. [9:36]And seeing the\nmultitudes he had compassion on them because they were faint and\nscattered, like sheep without a shepherd. [9:37]Then he said to his\ndisciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers few. [9:38]Pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to thrust laborers into\nhis harvest. CHAPTER VII. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES. 1 [10:1]AND calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power over\nimpure spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every\ninfirmity. [10:2] And the names of the twelve apostles are these;\nFirst, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, the\nson of Zebedee, and John his brother; [10:3]Philip and Bartholomew;\nThomas, and Matthew the publican; James, the son of Alpheus, and\nLebbeus, called Thaddeus; [10:4]Simon, the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot,\nwho also betrayed him. [10:5]These twelve Jesus sent out and charged\nthem, saying; Go not into a way of gentiles, and enter not into a city\nof Samaritans, [10:6]but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of\nIsrael; [10:7]and as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is\nat hand. [10:8] Cure the sick, cleanse lepers, cast out demons; you\nhave received gratuitously, gratuitously give. [10:9]Take not gold, nor\nsilver, nor copper for your purses, [10:10]nor a provision sack for the\nway, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staves; for the laborer is worthy of\nhis support; [10:11]and into whatever city or village you enter,\ninquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till you leave. [10:12]And when you go into a house, salute it; [10:13]and if the house\nis worthy, your blessing shall come upon it; but if the house is not\nworthy, your blessing shall return to you. [10:14]And if any one does\nnot receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or\nthat city, shake off the dust of your feet. [10:15]I tell you truly, it\nshall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in a day of\njudgment, than for that city. 2 [10:16]Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be\ntherefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves. [10:17]But beware of\nmen; for they will deliver you to Sanhedrims, and scourge you in their\nsynagogues, [10:18]and you shall be brought before governors, and\nkings, for my sake, for a testimony to them and the nations. [10:19]But\nwhen they have delivered you up be not anxious how you shall speak, or\nwhat you shall say, for it shall be given you in that hour what to say;\n[10:20]for it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that\nspeaks in you. [10:21]And a brother shall deliver a brother to death,\nand a father a son; and children shall rise up against their parents\nand put them to death; [10:22]and you shall be hated by all men for my\nsake. But he that endures to the end shall be saved. [10:23]And when\nthey persecute you in one city, flee to another. For I tell you truly,\nthat you will not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall\ncome.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-07, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-08 The user is reading a book]\n<User> 3 [10:24]A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his\nmaster. [10:25]It is sufficient for the disciple to be as his teacher,\nand the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the\nhouse Beelzebul, how much more will they call the members of his family\nby that name. [10:26]Fear them not, therefore, for there is nothing\nconcealed that shall not be revealed, nor hid that shall not be known. [10:27]What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light, and what you\nhear in the ear, preach on the house-tops. [10:28]And fear not those\nwho kill the body and are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear\nhim who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 4 [10:29]Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion [1.5 mills]? and\none of them cannot fall to the ground without your Father. [10:30]Even\nthe hairs of your head are all numbered. [10:31]Fear not, therefore,\nyou are of more value than many sparrows. [10:32]Every one, therefore,\nwho shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my\nFather in heaven; [10:33]and whoever denies me before men, him will I\nalso deny before my Father in heaven. 5 [10:34]Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I have\nnot come to send peace, but a sword. [10:35]I have come to set a man at\nvariance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a\nbride against her mother-in-law; [10:36]and a man's enemies shall be\nthose of his own house. [10:37]He that loves father or mother more than\nme is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me\nis not worthy of me; [10:38]and he that does not take up his cross and\nfollow me is not worthy of me. [10:39]He that finds his life shall lose\nit, and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it. [10:40]He\nthat receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him\nthat sent me. [10:41]He that receives a prophet in the name of a\nprophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he that receives a\nrighteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous\nman's reward. [10:42]And whoever shall give one of these little ones a\ncup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, I tell you truly, he\nshall by no means lose his reward. [11:1]And when Jesus had finished\nhis charge to his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and\npreach in their cities. CHAPTER VIII. JOHN THE BAPTIST QUESTIONING CHRIST'S MESSIAHSHIP. 1 [11:2]AND John hearing in the prison of the works of Christ, sending\nby his disciples, [11:3]said to him, Are you he that was coming, or\nlook we for another? [11:4]And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and\ntell John what you see and hear; [11:5]the blind see, the lame walk,\nthe lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the\npoor have the good news preached to them; [11:6]and blessed is he that\nis not offended with me. 2 [11:7]And when they had gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes,\nconcerning John, What went you out to the wilderness to see? A reed\nshaken with the wind? [11:8]But what went you out to see? A man wearing\nfine clothes? Behold, they that wear fine clothes are in the houses of\nkings. [11:9]But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you,\nand more than a prophet. [11:10]For this is he of whom it is written;\nBehold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare your way\nbefore you. [11:11]I tell you truly, there has not arisen among those\nborn of woman a greater than John the Baptist; but the least in the\nkingdom of heaven is greater than he. [11:12]And from the days of John\nthe Baptist till now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the\nviolent take it by force. [11:13]For all the prophets and the law\nprophesied till John. [11:14]And if you will receive it, this is\nElijah, who was to come. 3 [11:15]He that has ears, let him hear. [11:16]To what shall I liken\nthis generation? It is like little children sitting in the markets, who\ncall to their companions, [11:17]and say, We have played on pipes for\nyou, and you have not danced; we have mourned, and you have not\nlamented. [11:18]For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they\nsay, He has a demon; [11:19]the Son of man came eating and drinking,\nand they say, Behold a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of\npublicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children. 4 [11:20]Then he began to rebuke those cities in which most of his\nmighty works had been done, because they changed not their minds. [11:21]Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty\nworks which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they\nwould have changed their minds long ago in sackcloth and ashes. [11:22]But I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in\na day of judgment than for you. [11:23]And you, Capernaum, which are\nexalted even to heaven, shall go down even to hades; for if the mighty\nworks which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have\nremained to this day. [11:24]But I tell you, that it shall be more\ntolerable for the land of Sodom in a day of judgment, than for you. 5 [11:25]At that time Jesus answering said, I thank thee, Father, Lord\nof heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and\nintelligent, and hast revealed them to babes. [11:26]Yes, Father, for\nso it has seemed good in thy sight. [11:27]All things are given me by\nmy Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; and no one knows\nthe Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. [11:28]Come to me all you that labor hard and are heavy laden, and I\nwill give you rest. [11:29]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for\nI am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls;\n[11:30]for my yoke is easy, and my burden light. CHAPTER IX. CHRIST'S DOCTRINE OF THE SABBATH. 1 [12:1]AT that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the\nsabbath; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pick the heads and\neat. [12:2]And the Pharisees seeing it, said to him, Behold, your\ndisciples do what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath. [12:3]But he\nsaid to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and\nthose who were with him? [12:4]how he entered into the house of God and\neat the show bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for\nthose with him, but only for the priests? [12:5]Or have you not read in\nthe law, that the priests profane the sabbath in the temple, and are\nblameless? [12:6]But I tell you that here is an object greater than\nthe temple. [12:7]But if you had known what, I wish for mercy and not a\nsacrifice, means, you would not have condemned the innocent; [12:8]for\nthe Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath. 2 [12:9]And departing thence he went into their synagogue, [12:10]and\nbehold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him,\nsaying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse\nhim.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-08, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-11 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [12:11]And he said to them, What man is there of you having one\nsheep, who if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not take hold\nof it and lift it out? [12:12]How much then is a man better than a\nsheep! So that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath. [12:13] Then he\nsaid to the man, Stretch out your hand; and he stretched it out, and it\nwas restored as sound as the other; [12:14]and the Pharisees went out\nand took counsel against him to destroy him. 3 [12:15]But Jesus knowing it departed thence, and great multitudes\nfollowed him; and he cured them all, [12:16]and charged them not to\nmake him known; [12:17]that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by\nIsaiah the prophet, saying; [12:18]Behold my servant, whom I have\nchosen; my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my\nspirit on him, and he shall declare judgment to the nations. [12:19]He\nshall not strive nor cry aloud, nor shall any one hear his voice in the\nstreets. [12:20]A bruised reed shall he not break, and a smoking flax\nshall he not extinguish, till he sends forth judgment to victory. [12:21]And in his name shall nations hope. CHAPTER X. CHRIST'S MIRACLES ATTRIBUTED TO DEMONS. HIS RELATIONS. 1 [12:22]THEN a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he\ncured him, so that the blind and dumb spoke and saw. [12:23]And all\nthe multitudes wondered and said, Is this the Son of David? [12:24]But\nthe Pharisees hearing it, said, This man does not cast out demons,\nexcept by Beelzebul, a ruler of the demons. [12:25]But knowing their\nthoughts, he said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is\ndestroyed; and no city or house divided against itself can stand. [12:26]If Satan casts out Satan he is divided against himself. How then\ncan his kingdom stand? [12:27]And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons,\nby whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your\njudges. [12:28] But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the\nkingdom of God has come upon you. [12:29]Or how can one enter into the\nhouse of a strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the\nstrong man, and then he will plunder his house. 2 [12:30]He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not\nwith me scatters. [12:31]Therefore, I tell you, every sin and blasphemy\nshall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be\nforgiven men. [12:32] And if one speaks a word against the Son of man\nit shall be forgiven him; but if one speaks against the Holy Spirit it\nshall not be forgiven him either in this life or in that to come. [12:33]Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree\nbad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. [12:34]Offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. [12:35]The good\nman, out of his good treasury, casts forth good things; and the evil\nman, out of his evil treasury, casts forth evil things. [12:36]But I\ntell you, that for every idle word which men speak they shall render an\naccount in a day of judgment; [12:37] for by your words you shall be\njustified, and by your words you shall be condemned. 3 [12:38]Then answered some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying,\nTeacher, we wish to see a sign from you. [12:39]But he answered and\nsaid to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and\nno sign shall be given it but the sign of the prophet Jonah. [12:40]For\nas Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so\nshall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the\nearth. [12:41]The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with\nthis generation and condemn it; for they changed their minds at the\npreaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here. [12:42]The\nqueen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation\nand condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the\nwisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here. [12:43]But when the impure spirit has gone out of a man, it goes\nthrough dry places seeking a rest, and finds none. [12:44]Then it says,\nI will return to my house from which I went out; and coming, it finds\nit empty, swept, and adorned. [12:45]Then it goes and takes with itself\nseven other spirits worse than itself, and they enter in and dwell\nthere; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall\nit be also with this evil generation. 4 [12:46]And while he was speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother\nand his brothers stood without, desiring to speak to him. [12:47]And\nsome one said to him, Behold your mother and your brothers stand\nwithout, desiring to speak to you. [12:48]And he answered and said to\nhim that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers? [12:49]and stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my\nmother, and my brothers! [12:50]For whoever does the will of my Father\nin heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. CHAPTER XI. CHRIST'S PARABLES ON THE LAKE OF GALILEE. 1 [13:1]AND on that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the\nlake. [13:2] And great multitudes came together to him; and he went\ninto the ship and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the shore. [13:3]And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying; Behold, a\nsower went out to sow; [13:4]and as he sowed, some fell by the way, and\nthe birds came and devoured it. [13:5]And some fell on rocky places,\nwhere it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had\nno depth of earth; [13:6]and when the sun arose it was scorched, and\nbecause it had no root it was dried up. [13:7]And some fell among\nthorns, and the thorns came up and choked it. [13:8]But some fell on\ngood ground, and bore fruit; some a hundred, some sixty, and some\nthirty-fold. [13:9]He that has ears let him hear. 2 [13:10]And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to\nthem in parables? [13:11]And he answered and said to them, Because it\nis given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to\nthem it is not given; [13:12]for whoever has, to him shall be also\ngiven, and he shall abound; but whoever has not, from him shall be\ntaken away even what he has. [13:13]For this reason I speak to them in\nparables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear,\nnor understand. [13:14]And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah,\nwhich says; Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you\nshall see and not perceive; [13:15]for the hearts of this people have\nbecome hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and their eyes\nhave they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with\ntheir ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should\nheal them. [13:16]But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your\nears, for they hear. [13:17]For I tell you truly, that many prophets\nand righteous men have desired to see what you see and have not seen\nit, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it. 3 [13:18]Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-11, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-12 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [13:19]When any one\nhears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one\ncomes and takes away the seed sown in his heart. This is he that\nreceived seed by the way. [13:20]He that received seed on the rocky\nplaces is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy\n[13:21]but has no root in himself, but is only a temporary [disciple];\nand when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he is\nimmediately offended. [13:22]And he that received seed among thorns is\nhe that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the\ndeceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. [13:23]But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that\nhears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces\nsome one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold. 4 [13:24]And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of\nheaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field; [13:25]and while\nthe men slept, his enemy came and sowed poisonous darnel in the midst\nof the wheat, and went away. [13:26]But when the stalk grew up and\nbore fruit, then the poisonous darnel appeared. [13:27]And the servants\nof the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed\nin your field? Whence then has it poisonous darnel? [13:28]And he said\nto them, An enemy has done this. And they said to him, Do you wish us\nto go and take them out? [13:29]And he said, No; lest in taking out the\npoisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it; [13:30]let both grow\ntogether till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say\nto the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in\nbundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse. 5 [13:31]He delivered them another parable, saying, The kingdom of\nheaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field,\n[13:32]which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the\ngreatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven\ncome and lodge on its branches. [13:33]He spoke another parable to\nthem; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid\nin three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened. [13:34]All these things spoke Jesus to the multitudes in parables; and\nwithout a parable spoke he not to them; [13:35]that it might be\nfulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth\nin parables; I will declare things which have been concealed from the\nfoundation of the world. 6 [13:36]Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his\ndisciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the\npoisonous darnel of the field. [13:37]And he answered and said to them,\nHe that sows the good seed is the Son of man; [13:38]the field is the\nworld; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous\ndarnel are the children of the wicked one; [13:39] the enemy that sowed\nthem is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and\nthe reapers are angels. [13:40]As, therefore, poisonous darnel is\ncollected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of\nthe world. [13:41]The Son of man will send his angels, and they shall\ncollect out of his kingdom all offenses, and all that commit\nwickedness, [13:42]and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there\nshall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [13:43] Then the righteous\nshall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that\nhas ears, let him hear. 7 [13:44]The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which\na man found, and concealed, and went away with joy, and sold all that\nhe had and bought that field. [13:45]Again; the kingdom of heaven is\nlike a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, [13:46]who, finding one very\ncostly, went and sold all that he had and bought it. [13:47]Again; the\nkingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and collecting\n[fish] of every kind, [13:48]which, when it was full, men drew to the\nshore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad\naway. [13:49]So shall it be at the consummation of the world. The\nangels shall come forth and separate the evil from the midst of the\ngood, [13:50]and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be\nweeping and gnashing of teeth. [13:51]Have you understood all these\nthing? They said to him, Yes, Lord. [13:52]And he said to them, Every\nscribe therefore that is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like a\nhouseholder who casts out of his treasury things new and old. 8 [13:53]And when Jesus had finished these parables he departed thence,\n[13:54] and coming to his native country he taught them in their\nsynagogues, so that they were astonished and said, Whence has this man\nthis wisdom and these mighty works? [13:55]Is not this the carpenter's\nson? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James, and\nJoseph, and Simon, and Judas? [13:56]And are not his sisters all with\nus? Whence then has this man all these things? [13:57]And they were\noffended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without\nhonor, except in his native country, and in his own house; [13:58] and\nhe did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. CHAPTER XII. THE DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.--CHRIST FEEDING FIVE THOUSAND, AND WALKING ON THE LAKE. 1 [14:1]AT that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,\n[14:2]and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised\nfrom the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by\nhim. [14:3]For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in\nprison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. [14:4]For\nJohn had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her. [14:5]And\nhe wished to kill him; but feared the people, because they regarded him\nas a prophet. [14:6]And Herod's birthday being kept, the daughter of\nHerodias danced before them and pleased Herod, [14:7]on account of\nwhich he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask;\n[14:8]and she, having been put forward by her mother, said, Give me\nhere on a plate the head of John the Baptist. 2 [14:9]And the king was sorry; but on account of the oath, and those\nreclining with him, he commanded it to be given. [14:10]And he sent and\nbeheaded John in the prison; [14:11]and his head was brought on a plate\nand given to the girl, and she carried it to her mother. [14:12]And his\ndisciples went and took up the body and buried it, and came and told\nJesus. 3 [14:13]And when Jesus heard of it he departed thence in a ship to a\nsolitary place by himself. And the multitudes hearing of it followed\nhim on foot from the cities. 4 [14:14]And going out he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on\nthem, and cured their sick. [14:15]And when it was evening his\ndisciples came to him, saying, The place is solitary, and the hour is\nalready past; dismiss the multitudes that they may go to the villages\nand buy themselves food. [14:16]But Jesus said to them, They need not\ngo away; give them food to eat. [14:17]And they said to him, We have\nhere only five loaves and two fishes. [14:18]And he said, Bring them\nhere to me.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-12, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-13 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [14:19]And commanding the multitudes to sit down on the\ngrass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and, looking up to\nheaven, blessed them, and having broken them gave the bread to the\ndisciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. [14:20]And they all eat\nand were filled; and they took up the fragments which remained over,\ntwelve travelling-baskets full; [14:21]and those that eat were about\nfive thousand men, besides women and children. 5 [14:22]And he immediately constrained the disciples to go into a ship\nand go before him to the other side, till he should dismiss the\nmultitudes. [14:23]And having dismissed the multitudes, he went on a\nmountain by himself to pray. And when it was evening he was there\nalone. [14:24]But the ship was now in the midst of the lake tossed by\nthe waves, for the wind was contrary. [14:25]And in the fourth watch of\nthe night he came to them walking on the lake. [14:26]And when the\ndisciples saw him walking on the lake, they were troubled and said, It\nis an apparition; and they cried out for fear. [14:27]But Jesus\nimmediately spoke to them, saying, Be of good courage; it is I; be not\nafraid. [14:28]And Peter answered and said to him, Lord, if it is you,\ncommand me to come to you on the waters. [14:29]And he said, Come. And\nPeter going down from the ship walked on the waters to go to Jesus. [14:30]But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink,\ncried, saying, Lord save me! [14:31]and Jesus immediately stretching\nout his hand, took hold of him and said, Man of little faith, why did\nyou doubt? [14:32]And when they entered into the ship, the wind\nceased; [14:33]and those in the ship came and worshipped him; saying,\nTruly you are the Son of God. 6 [14:34]And having crossed over, they came to Gennesaret. [14:35]And\nwhen the men of that place knew him, they sent to all the country\naround, and brought to him all that were sick, [14:36]and requested of\nhim that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many\nas touched it were entirely cured. CHAPTER XIII. CHRIST'S DOCTRINE OF JEWISH TRADITIONS, ETC. 1 [15:1]THEN came the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying,\n[15:2]Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, for\nthey wash not their hands when they eat bread? [15:3]And he answered\nand said to them, Why do you transgress the command of God by your\ntradition? [15:4]For God said, Honor your father and mother; and he\nthat reviles father or mother, let him surely die. [15:5]But you say,\nWhoever says to his father or mother what you might be profited with by\nme is a gift, [15:6]then he shall not honor his father or his mother;\nand you have made the law of God of no effect by your tradition. [15:7]\nHypocrites, well did Isaiah prophecy of you, saying; [15:8]This people\nhonors me with the lips, but their heart is far from me. [15:9]But in\nvain do they worship me, teaching teachings and commandments of men. 2 [15:10]And having called the multitude, he said, Hear and understand. [15:11] Not that which enters into the mouth, defiles the man; but that\nwhich proceeds out of the mouth that defiles the man. [15:12]Then the\ndisciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees\nwere offended when they heard this word? [15:13]And he answered and\nsaid, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be\nrooted up. [15:14]Let them go; they are blind guides of the blind. But\nif the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit. [15:15]And Peter answered and said to him, Explain the parable to us. [15:16]And he said, Are you so entirely without understanding? [15:17]Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes\ninto the stomach, and is cast out on the earth? [15:18]But the things\nwhich proceed from the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the\nman. [15:19]For from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,\nadulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies:\n[15:20]these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with\nunwashed hands does not defile the man. 3 [15:21]And Jesus going out thence departed to the regions of Tyre and\nSidon. [15:22]And behold, a woman of Canaan from those regions came out\nand cried, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is\nbadly affected with a demon. [15:23]But he answered her not a word. And\nhis disciples came and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries\nafter us. [15:24]But he answered and said, I am not sent, except to the\nlost sheep of the house of Israel. [15:25]And she came and worshipped\nhim, saying, Lord, help me! [15:26]But he answered and said, It is not\nright to take the children's bread and cast to the dogs. [15:27]But she\nsaid, Yes, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from\nthe table of their masters. [15:28]Then Jesus answered and said to her,\nO woman, great is your faith! Be it to you as you wish; and her\ndaughter was cured from that hour. 4 [15:29]And returning thence Jesus came to the lake of Galilee, and\ngoing up on the mountain sat down there. [15:30]And great multitudes\ncame to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the dumb, the\ncrippled, and many others; and they cast them at Jesus' feet, and he\ncured them; [15:31]so that the multitude wondered, seeing the dumb\ntalk, the crippled sound, the lame walk, and the blind see; and they\nglorified the God of Israel. 5 [15:32]And Jesus calling his disciples, said, I pity the multitude,\nfor it is now three days that they have continued with me, and they\nhave nothing to eat; I will not dismiss them fasting lest they faint by\nthe way. [15:33]But his disciples said to him, Whence shall we obtain\nso much bread in the wilderness as to fill so great a multitude? [15:34]And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have you? And they said,\nSeven, and a few small fishes. [15:35]And he commanded the people to\nsit down on the ground, [15:36]and taking the seven loaves and the\nfishes, and giving thanks, he broke, and gave them to the disciples,\nand the disciples to the multitudes. [15:37]And they all eat and were\nfilled; and they took up the fragments that remained, seven\nstore-baskets full. [15:38]And those who eat were four thousand men,\nbesides women and children. [15:39]And dismissing the multitude he went\ninto the ship, and came into the bounds of Magadan. CHAPTER XIV. CHRIST REPLYING TO THE PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES, ETC. 1 [16:1]AND the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to Jesus to try him\ndesired him to show them a sign from heaven. [16:2]But he answered and\nsaid to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather for\nthe sky is red; [16:3]and in the morning, It will rain to-day for the\nsky is red and lowering. You know how to distinguish the face of the\nsky, but you cannot distinguish the signs of the times. [16:4]An evil\nand adulterous generation seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it\nexcept the sign of Jonah. And he left them and departed. 2 [16:5]And when his disciples came to the other side they forgot to\ntake bread. [16:6]And Jesus said to them, Observe and beware of the\nleaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. [16:7]But they reasoned within\nthemselves, saying, It is because we have not taken bread.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-13, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-16 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [16:8]But\nJesus knowing it, said, Why do you reason within yourselves, men of\nlittle faith, because you have not taken bread? [16:9]Do you not yet\nunderstand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how\nmany travelling-baskets you took up? [16:10]nor the seven loaves of the\nfour thousand, and how many store-baskets you took up? [16:11]Why do\nyou not understand that I spoke to you not of bread, to beware of the\nleaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? [16:12]Then they understood that\nhe did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the\nteaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 3 [16:13]And Jesus coming into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, asked his\ndisciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? [16:14]And\nthey said, Some, John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and others,\nJeremiah, or one of the prophets. [16:15]And he said to them, Who say\nyou that I am? [16:16]And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the\nChrist, the Son of the living God. [16:17] And Jesus answered and said\nto him, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has\nnot revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. [16:18] And I tell\nyou that you are Peter [a rock], and upon this rock will I build my\nassembly, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. [16:19]And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and\nwhatever you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever\nyou unbind on the earth shall be unbound in heaven. [16:20]Then he\ncharged his disciples to tell no man that he was the Christ. 4 [16:21]From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must\ngo to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief\npriests, and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day. [16:22]And Peter taking hold of him said, rebuking him, Far be it from\nyou, Lord! This shall not be to you. [16:23]But he turned and said to\nPeter, Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me! For you regard\nnot the things of God, but those of men. 5 [16:24]Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one will come after\nme, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. [16:25]For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever\nloses his life for my sake, shall find it. [16:26]For what is a man\nprofited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his life? Or what\nwill a man give as an exchange for his life? [16:27]For the Son of man\nis about to come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then\nshall he render to every one according to his doing. [16:28]I tell you\ntruly, that some of those standing here shall not taste death till they\nsee the Son of man coming in his kingdom. CHAPTER XV. CHRIST TRANSFIGURED.--CURING A DEMONIAC, AND PAYING THE SACRED TRIBUTE. 1 [17:1]AND after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, his\nbrother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. [17:2]And\nhe was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and\nhis garments were white as the light. [17:3]And behold there appeared\nto them Moses and Elijah conversing with him. [17:4]And Peter answered\nand said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you please,\nwe will make here three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses,\nand one for Elijah. [17:5]While he was yet speaking, behold a bright\ncloud overshadowed them; and behold a voice from the cloud, saying,\nThis is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him. [17:6]And when they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, and\nwere greatly afraid. [17:7]And Jesus came and touched them, and said,\nArise, and be not afraid. [17:8]And lifting up their eyes they saw no\nman, except Jesus alone. 2 [17:9]And when they went down from the mountain Jesus charged them,\nsaying, Tell no man the vision till the Son of man is raised from the\ndead. [17:10]And the disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the\nscribes say that Elijah must first come? [17:11]And he answered and\nsaid, Elijah indeed comes, and shall restore all things. [17:12]But I\ntell you Elijah has come already, and they knew him not, but did to him\nwhat they pleased. In like manner, also, the Son of man is about to\nsuffer from them. [17:13]Then the disciples understood that he spoke to\nthem of John the Baptist. 3 [17:14]And when they came to the multitude, a man came to him,\nkneeling to him and saying, [17:15]Lord, have mercy on my son, for he\nis a lunatic, and suffers greatly. For he often falls into the fire,\nand often into the water. [17:16]And I brought him to your disciples\nand they could not cure him. [17:17] Jesus answered and said, O\nunbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How\nlong shall I suffer you? Bring him here to me. [17:18]And Jesus rebuked\nhim, and the demon went out of him, and the child was cured from that\nhour. [17:19]Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why\ncould we not cast it out? [17:20]And Jesus said to them, On account of\nyour unbelief. For I tell you truly, if you have a faith like a mustard\nseed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed thence to that place,\nand it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible to you. [17:21]But this kind goes not out, except by prayer and fasting. 4 [17:22]And as they were returning in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The\nSon of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men, [17:23]and\nthey will kill him, and on the third day he shall be raised; and they\nwere grieved exceedingly. 5 [17:24]And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the\ndidrachma [28 cents], came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher\npay the didrachma? [17:25]He said, Yes. And when he came into the\nhouse, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? From\nwhom do the kings of the earth receive taxes, or a tribute? From their\nchildren, or from strangers? [17:26]He said to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him; Then are the children free; [17:27]but that we may\nnot offend them, go to the lake, and cast in a hook, and take the first\nfish that comes up, and opening its mouth you will find a stater [56\ncents]. Take that and give it to them, for me and you. CHAPTER XVI. CHRIST'S DOCTRINE OF GREATNESS.--OFFENSES AND THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. 1 [18:1]AT that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the\ngreatest in the kingdom of heaven? [18:2]And calling a little child, he\nset it in the midst of them, [18:3]and said, I tell you truly, that if\nyou do not turn and become like little children, you can by no means\nenter into the kingdom of heaven. [18:4]Whoever humbles himself like\nthis little child, shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven;\n[18:5]and whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives\nme; [18:6]but whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in\nme, it would be better for him that a millstone should be hung to his\nneck, and that he should be plunged into the depths of the sea. 2 [18:7]Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must\nnecessarily come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! [18:8]If your hand or foot offends you, cut it off and cast it from\nyou.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-16, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-19 The user is reading a book]\n<User> It is better for you to enter into life lame, or crippled, than\nhaving two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. [18:9]And if your eye offends you, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life having one eye, than having two\neyes to be cast into the hell of fire. 3 [18:10]See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I tell\nyou that their angels always behold the face of my Father in heaven. [18:12]What think you? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is\nlost, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go and\nseek for the lost one? [18:13]And if he finds it, I tell you truly that\nhe rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost. [18:14]So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these\nlittle ones should perish. 4 [18:15]But if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him\nbetween you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your\nbrother. [18:16]But if he does not hear you, take with you one or two\nmore, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be\nestablished; [18:17]and if he will not hear them, tell the assembly;\nand if he will not hear the assembly, let him be to you as a gentile\nand a publican. [18:18]I tell you truly, that whatever you bind on the\nearth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you unbind on the earth\nshall be unbound in heaven. [18:19]Again, I tell you, that if two of\nyou shall agree on the earth concerning any thing for which they shall\nask, they shall have it from my Father in heaven; [18:20]for where two\nor three are assembled together in my name, there am I in the midst of\nthem. 5 [18:21]Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how many times shall my\nbrother sin against me and I forgive him? Till seven times? [18:22]Jesus said to him, I say not to you till seven times, but till\nseventy times seven. [18:23]On this account, the kingdom of heaven is\nlike a king who wished to settle with his servants. [18:24]And\nbeginning to settle, a debtor of ten thousand talents [$10,000,000] was\nbrought to him. [18:25]And he having nothing to pay, the lord commanded\nhim to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and\npayment to be made. [18:26]Then the servant fell down and worshipped\nhim, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay all. [18:27]And the\nlord of that servant having compassion on him released him, and forgave\nhim the debt. 6 [18:28]But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants\nwho owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him,\nsaying, Pay what you owe me. [18:29]Then his fellow-servant fell down\nand besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you. [18:30]But he would not; but went and cast him into prison till he\nshould pay the debt. [18:31]Then his fellow-servants seeing what was\ndone, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all\nthings that were done. [18:32]Then his lord called him, and said to\nhim, Evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you besought me\n[to do it]. [18:33]Ought you not also to pity your fellow-servant, as I\npitied you? [18:34]And his lord was displeased, and delivered him to\nthe tormentors till he should pay all the debt. [18:35]So also will my\nheavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not each one his brother from\nyour hearts. CHAPTER XVII. CHRIST'S DOCTRINE OF MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, ETC. 1 [19:1]AND when Jesus had finished these words he departed from\nGalilee, and came into the bounds of Judea beyond the Jordan; [19:2]and\ngreat multitudes followed him, and he cured them there. [19:3]And the\nPharisees came to him to try him, and said, Is it lawful [for a man] to\nput away his wife for every cause? [19:4]And he answered and said,\nHave you not read that the Creator at the beginning made them male and\nfemale? [19:5]and he said, On this account shall a man leave his father\nand mother, and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. [19:6]So that they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God\nhas yoked together, let not man separate. 2 [19:7]They said to him, Why then did Moses command us to give a bill\nof divorcement, and put her away? [19:8]He said to them, Moses, on\naccount of your hardness of heart, allowed you to put away your wives;\nbut from the beginning it was not so. [19:9]And I tell you, that\nwhoever puts away his wife, except for adultery, and marries another,\ncommits adultery; and whoever marries her that is put away, commits\nadultery. 3 [19:10]The disciples said to him, If the case of a man is thus with\nhis wife, it is not expedient to marry. [19:11]And he said to them, All\ndo not receive this word, but those to whom it is given. [19:12]For\nthere are eunuchs from birth, who were born so from their mother; and\nthere are eunuchs who are made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs\nwho have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive [this doctrine] let him receive it. 4 [19:13]Then little children were brought to him that he should put\nhis hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. [19:14]But\nJesus said, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them\nnot, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. [19:15]And he put his hands\non them and departed thence. 5 [19:16]And behold one came and said to him, Teacher, what good [work]\nshall I do that I may have eternal life? [19:17]And he said to him, Why\ndo you ask me of the good? one is the good. But if you wish to enter\ninto life, keep the commandments. [19:18]He said to him, What? And\nJesus said, this; You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery;\nYou shall not steal; You shall not testify falsely; [19:19]Honor your\nfather and mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. [19:20]The young man said to him, All these have I kept; what do I lack\nyet? [19:21]Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go and sell your\nproperty, and give to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in\nheaven; and come and follow me. [19:22]And when the young man heard\n[this] he went away sad, for he had great possessions. 6 [19:23]And Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you truly, that a rich\nman will enter into the kingdom of heaven with difficulty. [19:24]And\nagain I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a\nneedle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [19:25]And the disciples hearing this, were greatly astonished, and\nsaid, Who then can be saved? [19:26]But Jesus looking on them, said,\nWith men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 7 [19:27]Then Peter answered and said, Behold we have left all and\nfollowed you; what shall we have therefore? [19:28]And Jesus said to\nthem, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the\nregeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory,\nshall yourselves also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes\nof Israel; [19:29]and whoever has left brothers or sisters, or a father\nor mother, or children, or lands or houses, for my name's sake, shall\nreceive many times as much, and inherit eternal life. [19:30]But many\nfirst shall be last; and last, first.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-19, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-22 The user is reading a book]\n<User> 8 [20:1]For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out\nearly in the morning to hire laborers in his vineyard. [20:2]And\nagreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent\nthem into his vineyard. [20:3] And going out about the third hour, he\nsaw others standing idle in the market; [20:4]and he said to them, go\nalso into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they\nwent. [20:5]Again going out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did\nlikewise. [20:6]And going out about the eleventh hour he found others\nstanding, and said to them, Why stand you all the day idle? [20:7]They\nsaid to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into\nthe vineyard. [20:8]And when it was evening the lord of the vineyard\nsaid to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them the wages\n[stipulated], beginning from the last even to the first. [20:9]And\nthose who came about the eleventh hour, received a denarius [14 cents]\neach. [20:10]And those who came first supposed that they should receive\nmore. And they also received a denarius [14 cents] each; [20:11]and\nwhen they had received it, they complained of the householder,\n[20:12]saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made\nthem equal with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. [20:13]But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no\nwrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]? [20:14]Take\nwhat belongs to you, and go, for I will give to the last even as to\nyou. [20:15]Is it not right for me to do what I will with my own? Is\nyour eye evil because I am good? [20:16]So the last shall be first,\nand the first last. 9 [20:17]And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples\naside privately, and said to them on the way, [20:18]Behold we go up to\nJerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests\nand scribes, and they will condemn him to death, [20:19]and deliver him\nto the gentiles, to mock, and scourge, and crucify him; and on the\nthird day he shall be raised. 10 [20:20]Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her\nsons, worshipping, and asking a certain thing of him. [20:21]And he\nsaid to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Say that these my two\nsons shall sit, one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in\nyour kingdom. [20:22]But Jesus answered and said, You know not what you\nask. Can you drink of the cup of which I am about to drink? They said\nto him, We can. [20:23]He said to them; you shall drink indeed of my\ncup; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give,\nbut to those for whom it is prepared by my Father. [20:24]And the ten\nhearing this were displeased with the two brothers. [20:25]But Jesus\ncalled them to him, and said, You know that the rulers of the gentiles\nexercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over\nthem; but it shall not be so among you. [20:26]But whoever wishes to be\ngreat among you, let him be your minister; [20:27]and whoever wishes to\nbe first among you, let him be your servant, [20:28]as the Son of man\ncame not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for\nmany. CHAPTER XVIII. CHRIST CURING TWO BLIND MEN.--ENTERING JERUSALEM IN TRIUMPH, AND CURSING THE FIG TREE. 1 [20:29]AND as they proceeded from Jericho a great multitude followed\nhim. [20:30]And behold two blind men who sat by the way, hearing that\nJesus was passing by cried, saying, Have mercy on us Lord, Son of\nDavid! [20:31]And the multitude charged them to be still; but they\ncried the more, saying, Have mercy on us Lord, Son of David! [20:32]And\nJesus stopped, and called them and said, What do you wish me to do for\nyou? [20:33]They said to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. [20:34]And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes; and\nimmediately they recovered their sight and followed him. 2 [21:1]And when they approached Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at\nthe Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, [21:2]and said to\nthem, Go into the village opposite to you, and you will immediately\nfind an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them, and lead them to me:\n[21:3]and if any one asks you why, say that the Lord has need of them,\nand he will immediately send them. [21:4] But all this was done that\nthe words spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, who says;\n[21:5]Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek,\nseated on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 3 [21:6]And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them,\n[21:7]and brought the ass and the colt, and put garments on them, and\nhe sat on them. [21:8]And a vast multitude spread their garments in the\nway, and others cut branches from the trees and scattered them in the\nway; [21:9]and the multitudes that went before, and those that\nfollowed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that\ncomes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]! 4 [21:10]And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was moved,\nsaying, Who is this? [21:11]And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the\nprophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee. [21:12]And Jesus entered into\nthe temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple,\nand overturned the tables of the brokers, and the seats of those that\nsold doves, [21:13]and said to them, It is written, my house shall be\ncalled a house of prayer; but you make it a den of robbers. 5 [21:14]And the blind and crippled came to him in the temple, and he\ncured them. [21:15]And when the chief priests and scribes saw the\nwonderful works which he performed, and the children crying in the\ntemple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! they were displeased,\n[21:16]and said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to\nthem, Yes. Have you never read, that out of the mouths of babes and\nnursing infants, you have perfected praise? [21:17]And he left them,\nand went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. 6 [21:18]And returning into the city in the morning he was hungry;\n[21:19]and seeing a fig tree by the way he went to it, and found\nnothing on it, except leaves only, and he said to it, Let there be no\nfruit on you forever. And the fig tree immediately withered, [21:20]and\nthe disciples seeing it, wondered and said, How soon is this fig tree\nwithered! [21:21]Jesus answered and said to them, I tell you truly,\nthat if you have faith and doubt not, you shall not only do this of the\nfig tree, but if you should say to this mountain, Be taken up and be\ncast into the sea, it would be done; [21:22]and all things whatever\nwhich you ask in prayer believing, you shall receive. CHAPTER XIX. CHRIST QUESTIONED BY THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND ELDERS. THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD. 1 [21:23]AND Jesus having gone into the temple, the chief priests and\nelders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what\nauthority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority? [21:24]Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one\nquestion, which, if you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do\nthese things.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-22, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-24 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [21:25]Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or\nfrom men? And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we say from\nheaven, he will say to us, Why did you not believe him? [21:26]But if\nwe say from men, we fear the multitude, for all regard John as a\nprophet. [21:27] And they answered Jesus, and said, We do not know. And\nhe said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these\nthings. 2 [21:28]But what do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the\nfirst, and said, Son, go and work to-day in the vineyard. [21:29]But\nhe answered and said, I will not; but afterwards he repented, and went. [21:30]And he came to the other, and said the same. And he answered and\nsaid, I will go sir, but went not. [21:31]Which of the two did the\nwill of the father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, I\ntell you truly, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of\nGod before you. [21:32]For John came to you in a way of righteousness,\nand you believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him;\nand when you saw this, you did not afterwards repent, that you might\nbelieve him. 3 [21:33]Hear another parable: There was a man, a householder, who\nplanted a vineyard, and made a hedge around it, and dug a wine vat in\nit, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. [21:34]And when the time of the fruits approached he sent his servants\nto the husbandmen to receive his fruits. [21:35]And the husbandmen took\nhis servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. [21:36]Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they\ntreated them in the same manner. [21:37]And afterwards he sent them his\nson, saying, They will reverence my son. [21:38]But when the husbandmen\nsaw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us\nkill him and take his inheritance. [21:39]And they took him, and cast\nhim out of the vineyard, and killed him. [21:40]When, therefore, the\nlord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen? [21:41]They said to him, He will inflict on those men a miserable\ndeath, and let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render\nhim the fruits in their seasons. 4 [21:42]Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures, The\nstone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of a\ncorner? this is from the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? [21:43]I\ntell you, therefore, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you,\nand given to a nation yielding its fruits. 5 [21:45]And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing his parables, knew\nthat he spoke of them; [21:46]and they sought to take him, but feared\nthe people, because they regarded him as a prophet. CHAPTER XX. THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING, AND QUESTIONS OF THE PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES. 1 [22:1]AND Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables saying,\n[22:2] The kingdom of heaven is like a man, a king, who made a wedding\nfor his son. [22:3]And he sent his servants to call the invited to the\nwedding, and they would not come. [22:4]Again he sent other servants,\nsaying, Tell the invited, Behold, I have prepared my supper, my oxen\nand fatted creatures are killed, and all things are ready; come to the\nwedding. [22:5]But they neglected it, and went away, one to his farm,\nand another to his merchandise; [22:6]and the rest took his servants\nand treated them injuriously, and killed them. [22:7]And the king was\nangry, and sent his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up\ntheir city. 2 [22:8]Then he said to his servants, The wedding indeed is ready, but\nthe invited were not worthy. [22:9]Go, therefore, to the crossings of\nthe ways, and invite all you find to the wedding. [22:10]And those\nservants went out into the highways, and collected all whom they found,\nboth bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests. 3 [22:11]And the king coming in to see the guests observed there a man\nwho had not on a wedding garment, [22:12]and said to him, Friend, how\ncame you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [22:13]Then the king said to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and\ncast him into the darkness outside. There shall be weeping and gnashing\nof teeth. [22:14]For many are called, but few chosen. 4 [22:15]Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to ensnare him in his\nwords. [22:16]And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians,\nsaying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in\ntruth, and care not for any man; for you regard not the face of men. [22:17]Tell us, therefore, what you think; is it right to pay tribute\nto Caesar or not? [22:18]Jesus knowing their wickedness, said, Why do\nyou hypocrites try me? [22:19]Show me the tribute money. And they\nbrought him a denarius [14 cents]. [22:20]And he said to them, Whose is\nthis image and this inscription? [22:21]They said to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give therefore Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's\nto God. [22:22]And hearing, they wondered, and went away and left him. 5 [22:23]On that day the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no\nresurrection, and asked him, [22:24]saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any\none dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and\nraise up children for his brother. [22:25]Now there were with us seven\nbrothers; and the first married, and died; and having no children he\nleft his wife to his brother; [22:26]in like manner also the second,\nand third, till the seventh; [22:27] last of all the woman died also. [22:28]In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be of the\nseven? for they all had her. [22:29]And Jesus answered and said to\nthem, You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. [22:30]For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are married, but\nare as angels in heaven. [22:31]But concerning the resurrection of the\ndead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, [22:32]I\nam the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God\nis not a God of the dead, but of the living. [22:33]And the multitudes\nwho heard were astonished at his teaching. 6 [22:34]And the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees,\nwere assembled together, [22:35]and one of them, a lawyer, asked him,\nto try him, [22:36]Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law? [22:37]And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all\nyour heart, and all your soul, and all your mind. [22:38]This is the\ngreat and first commandment. [22:39]And the second is like it, You\nshall love your neighbor as yourself. [22:40]On these two commandments\nhang all the law and the prophets. 7 [22:41]And the Pharisees being assembled together, Jesus asked them,\n[22:42] saying, What do you think of the Christ? whose son is he? They\nsaid to him, David's. [22:43]He said to them, How then does David in\nspirit call him Lord, saying, [22:44]The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on\nmy right hand till I make your enemies your footstool? [22:45]If then\nDavid calls him Lord, how is he his son?\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-24, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-25 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [22:46]And no one was able to\nanswer him a word, neither dared any one after that day to question him\nfarther. CHAPTER XXI. CHRIST DENOUNCING THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES. 1 [23:1]THEN Jesus spoke to the multitudes and his disciples,\n[23:2]saying, The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. [23:3]All\nthings therefore which they tell you, do and keep. But do not their\nworks. For they say and do not, [23:4]but bind heavy burdens and put\nthem on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger. [23:5]And they do all their works to be seen by men. For they make\nbroad their prayer fillets, and enlarge the fringes, [23:6] and love\nthe first tables at feasts, and the first seats in the synagogues,\n[23:7]and salutations in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi. [23:8] But do not you be called Rabbi; For one is your teacher, and you\nare all brothers. [23:9]And call no man your father on the earth, for\none is your heavenly Father. [23:10]Neither be called leaders, for one\nis your leader, the Christ. [23:11]But the greatest of you shall be\nyour servant, [23:12]and whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and\nhe that humbles himself shall be exalted. 2 [23:13]But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut\nup the kingdom of heaven before men; for you enter not into it, neither\ndo you suffer those entering to go in. [23:15]Woe to you scribes and\nPharisees, hypocrites! For you compass the sea and the dry land to make\none proselyte; and when he is gained you make him twice as much a child\nof hell as yourselves. [23:16]Woe to you blind guides, who say, Whoever\nswears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of\nthe temple, he is bound. [23:17]Fools and blind! for which is greater,\nthe gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? [23:18] If a man\nswears by the altar, it is nothing; but if he swears by the gift which\nis on it, he is bound. [23:19]Fools and blind! For which is greater,\nthe gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? [23:20]He then that\nswears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it; [23:21]and\nhe that swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that inhabits\nit; [23:22]and he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God,\nand by him that sits on it. 3 [23:23]Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe\nmint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters\nof the law, justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to do, and not\nneglect the others. [23:24] Blind guides! who strain out a gnat and\nswallow down a camel. [23:25]Woe to you scribes and Pharisees,\nhypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and platter, but\nwithin they are full of plunder and excess. [23:26]Blind Pharisee! cleanse first that which is in the cup and platter, that its outside\nmay be clean also. [23:27]Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which appear fair without, but\nwithin are full of the bones of the dead and of all impurity. [23:28]So also you on the outside appear just to men, but within you\nare full of hypocrisy and wickedness. [23:29]Woe to you scribes and\nPharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and\nadorn the tombs of the righteous, [23:30]and say, If we had been in the\ndays of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the\nblood of the prophets. [23:31]So that you testify to yourselves that\nyou are children of those who killed the prophets; [23:32]and you have\nfilled up the measure of your fathers. [23:33]Serpents, offspring of\nvipers! How can you escape the judgment of hell? 4 [23:34]Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and\nscribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you\nwill scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;\n[23:35]that all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood\nof righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Bararchiah, whom\nyou killed between the temple and the altar, may come upon you. [23:36]I tell you truly, that all these [crimes] shall come on this\ngeneration. 5 [23:37]Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those\nsent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, as\na bird gathers her brood under her wings, but you would not! [23:38]Behold, your house is left to you desolate; [23:39]for I tell\nyou that you shall not see me henceforth, till you say, Blessed is he\nthat comes in the name of the Lord! CHAPTER XXII. CHRIST PREDICTING THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HIS KINGDOM. 1 [24:1]AND Jesus went out and departed from the temple; and his\ndisciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. [24:2]And he answered and said to them, Do you not see all these\nthings? I tell you truly, there shall not be left here stone upon stone\nthat shall not be thrown down. [24:3]And as he sat on the Mount of\nOlives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these\nthings shall be; and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the\nconsummation of the world? [24:4]And Jesus answered and said to them,\nSee that no man deceives you; [24:5]for many shall come in my name,\nsaying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. [24:6]And you shall\nhear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not terrified, for all\nthings must be accomplished; but the end is not yet. [24:7]For nation\nshall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall\nbe famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in different places;\n[24:8]but all these things are the beginning of sorrows. 2 [24:9]Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and\nyou shall be hated by all nations on my account; [24:10]and then many\nshall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another;\n[24:11]and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many,\n[24:12]and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall\nbecome cold: [24:13]but he that endures to the end shall be saved. [24:14]And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the\nworld, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come. 3 [24:15]When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken\nof by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place--let him that reads\nunderstand,-- [24:16]then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. [24:17]Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things\nfrom his house; [24:18]and let not him that is in the field return back\nto take his clothes; [24:19]and woe to those with child and giving\nnurse in those days! [24:20]But pray that your flight may not be in\nthe winter, nor on the Sabbath; [24:21]for at that time there shall be\ngreat affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world\neven till now, nor ever shall be. [24:22]And unless those days were\nshortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those\ndays shall be shortened. 4 [24:23]Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-25, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-27 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [24:24]For false Christs and false prophets shall be\nraised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if\npossible, even the elect. [24:25]Behold, I have told you before. [24:26]If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness,\ngo not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. [24:27]For\nas the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the\nWest, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. [24:28] Wherever the\ndead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 5 [24:29]And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun\nshall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars\nshall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. [24:30]And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and\nthen shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the\nSon of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. [24:31]And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and\nthey shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of\nheaven to the other. 6 [24:32]But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now\ngreen, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh. [24:33]So also when you see all these things, know that [the Son of\nman] is nigh, at the doors. [24:34]I tell you truly, that this\ngeneration shall not pass away till all these things shall be\naccomplished. [24:35]Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words\nshall not pass away. 7 [24:36]But of that day and hour no man knows, nor the angels of\nheaven; but my Father only. [24:37]And as the days of Noah, so shall\nthe coming of the Son of man be. [24:38]For as in the days before the\nflood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,\ntill the day that Noah entered the ark, [24:39]and knew not till the\nflood came and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of\nman be. [24:40]Then two shall be in the field; one is taken and the\nother left. [24:41]Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is\ntaken and the other left. 8 [24:42]Watch, therefore, for you know not on what day your Lord\ncomes, [24:43]But know this, that if the householder had known in what\nwatch the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his\nhouse to be broken into. [24:44]Therefore be you also ready, for in\nsuch an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. [24:45]Who then is\nthe faithful and wise servant whom the Lord has placed over his family\nto give them food in due season? [24:46]Blessed is that servant whom\nhis Lord, when he comes, shall find so doing. [24:47]I tell you truly,\nthat he will place him over all his estates. 9 [24:48]But if that evil servant says in his heart, My Lord delays his\ncoming, [24:49]and begins to beat his fellow-servants, and eats and\ndrinks with drunkards, [24:50]the Lord of that servant will come on a\nday when he looks not for him, and at an hour that he knows not of,\n[24:51]and will punish him with the utmost severity, and appoint his\nportion with hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the\nteeth. 10 [25:1]Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who\ntook their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; [25:2]and\nfive of them were foolish, and five wise. [25:3]The foolish took their\nlamps and took no oil with them; [25:4]but the wise took oil in the\nvessels with their lamps. [25:5] And while the bridegroom delayed, all\nslumbered and slept; [25:6]but at midnight there was a cry, Behold the\nbridegroom; go out to meet him. [25:7]Then all those virgins arose and\ntrimmed their own lamps. [25:8]And the foolish said to the wise, Give\nus of your oil, for our lamps have gone out. [25:9]But the wise\nanswered, saying, [No]; lest there be not enough for us and you; go\nrather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. [25:10]And while\nthey went to buy the bridegroom came; and the ready went in with him to\nthe wedding, and the door was shut. [25:11]And afterwards the other\nvirgins came, and said, Lord, Lord, open to us. [25:12]But he answered\nand said, I tell you truly I know you not. [25:13]Watch, therefore, for\nyou know not the day nor the hour. 11 [25:14]For, as a man going abroad called his servants, and delivered\nto them his estates; [25:15]to one he gave five talents [$5,000], to\nanother two [$2,000], and to another one [$1,000]; to each according to\nhis ability, and immediately went abroad. [25:16]And he that received\nthe five talents went and traded with them, and made other five;\n[25:17]in like manner, also, he that received the two gained two\nothers; [25:18]but he that received the one went away and dug in the\nearth and hid his lord's money. [25:19]And after a long time the lord\nof those servants came, and had a settlement with them. [25:20] And he\nthat received the five talents came and brought five other talents,\nsaying, Lord, you committed to me five talents; behold, I have gained\nfive other talents. [25:21]His lord said to him, Well done, good and\nfaithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will\nplace you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. [25:22]And he\nthat received the two talents also came to him and said, Lord, you\ncommitted to me two talents; behold, I have gained two others. [25:23]His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you\nhave been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many:\nenter into the joy of your lord. 12 [25:24]And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord,\nI knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed,\nand gathering where you have not scattered, [25:25]and being afraid I\nwent away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is\nyours. [25:26]And his Lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful\nservant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather whence\nI have not scattered? [25:27]And you ought then to have given my money\nto the brokers, and at my coming, I should have received my own with\ninterest. [25:28]Take his talent, therefore, from him, and give it to\nhim that has ten talents; [25:29]for to every one that has shall be\ngiven, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even\nwhat he has shall be taken away; [25:30]and cast the unprofitable\nservant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing\nof the teeth. 13 [25:31]But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the\nangels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory,\n[25:32]and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall\nseparate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from\nthe goats; [25:33]and he shall place the sheep on his right hand, and\nthe goats on his left. 14 [25:34]Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come,\nblessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the\nfoundation of the world; [25:35]for I was hungry and you gave me food;\nI was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me\nin; [25:36]naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I\nwas in prison, and you came to me.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-27, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-30 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [25:37]Then shall the righteous\nanswer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or\nthirsty, and give you drink? [25:38]when did we see you a stranger, and\ntake you in? or naked, and clothe you? [25:39]when did we see you sick,\nor in prison, and come to you? [25:40]And the king shall answer and say\nto them, I tell you truly, that inasmuch as you have done it to one of\nthe least of these my brothers, you have done it to me. 15 [25:41]Then shall he say to those on his left hand, Depart from me\naccursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. [25:42]For I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you\ngave me no drink; [25:43] a stranger, and you took me not in; sick and\nin prison and you visited me not. [25:44]Then shall they also answer\nand say, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger,\nor naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not serve you?

[25:46]And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but\nthe righteous into life eternal. CHAPTER XXIII. CHRIST AT BETHANY, THE PASCHAL AND LORD'S SUPPER, ETC. 1 [26:1]WHEN Jesus had finished all these words he said to his\ndisciples, [26:2]You know that after two days is the passover, and the\nSon of man is delivered up to be crucified. [26:3]Then the chief\npriests and the elders of the people were assembled in the court of the\nchief priest, who was called Caiaphas, [26:4]and they took counsel to\nseize Jesus by stratagem, and kill him. [26:5]But they said, Not at\nthe feast, lest there be a tumult among the people. 2 [26:6]And Jesus being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,\n[26:7]a woman came to him having a vase of very costly ointment, and\npoured it on his head, as he reclined. [26:8]And his disciples seeing\nit were displeased, and said, Why is this waste? [26:9]This could have\nbeen sold for much and given to the poor. [26:10]But Jesus knowing it,\nsaid to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has done a good\nwork for me; [26:11]for the poor you always have with you, but me you\nhave not always. [26:12]For in putting this ointment on my body, she\nhas done it to prepare me for burial. [26:13]I tell you truly, that\nwherever this good news is preached in all the word, what this woman\nhas done shall be told for a memorial of her. 3 [26:14]Then went one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot to the chief\npriests, [26:15]and said, What will you give me to deliver him to you? And they gave him thirty [shekels] of silver [$16.80]. [26:16]And from\nthat time he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up. [26:17]And on\nthe first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying,\nWhere do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the passover? [26:18]And\nhe said, Go into the city to such a one, and say to him, The Teacher\nsays, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover with you, together\nwith my disciples. [26:19]And the disciples did as Jesus commanded\nthem, and prepared the passover; [26:20]and when it was evening he\nreclined with the twelve. [26:21]And as they were eating, he said, I\ntell you truly, that one of you will betray me. [26:22]And being\ngrieved exceedingly, they each one began to say to him, Lord, is it I? [26:23]But he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the\ndish, he shall betray me. [26:24]The Son of man goes indeed, as it is\nwritten of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it would be good for him if that man had not been born. [26:25]And\nJudas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He said to\nhim, As you say. 4 [26:26]And as they were eating Jesus took the bread, and having\nblessed, broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is\nmy body. [26:27] And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to\nthem, saying, Drink you all of it; [26:28]this is my blood of the new\ncovenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. [26:29]And I tell you that I will not drink henceforth of this product\nof the vine, till that day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom\nof my Father. [26:30]And having sung a hymn they went out to the Mount\nof Olives. 5 [26:31]Then Jesus said to them, You will all be offended with me this\nnight; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of\nthe flock shall be scattered; [26:32]but after I have risen I will go\nbefore you into Galilee. [26:33]And Peter answered and said to him, If\nall men shall be offended with you, I will not. [26:34]Jesus said to\nhim, I tell you truly, that this night, before the cock crows, you will\ndeny me thrice. [26:35]Peter said to him, If it should be necessary\nfor me to die with you, I will by no means deny you. And all the\ndisciples said the same. CHAPTER XXIV. CHRIST IN GETHSEMANE, AND BEFORE THE SANHEDRIM. 1 [26:36]THEN Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and\nsaid to the disciples, Sit here, till I go and pray there. [26:37]And\ntaking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and\ndejected. [26:38]Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful even to\ndeath; remain here and watch with me. [26:39]And going forward a\nlittle, he fell on his face, and prayed and said, My Father, if it is\npossible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou\nwilt. [26:40]And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and\nsaid to Peter, Are you so unable to watch with me one hour? [26:41]Watch and pray that you enter not into trial; the spirit indeed\nis willing, but the flesh is weak. 2 [26:42]Going away again a second time, he prayed, saying, My Father,\nif this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, thy will be done. [26:43]And he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were\nheavy. [26:44]And leaving them, again he went away and prayed, saying\nthe same words. [26:45]Then he came to the disciples and said to them,\nDo you sleep still and take your rest? Behold the hour is at hand, and\nthe Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinners. [26:46]Arise,\nlet us go; behold, he that betrays me is at hand. 3 [26:47]And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the\ntwelve, came, and with him a great multitude, with swords and clubs,\nfrom the chief priests and elders of the people. [26:48]And he that\nbetrayed him gave them a sign, saying, The one that I shall kiss is he;\ntake him. [26:49]And immediately coming forward to Jesus, he said,\nHail, Rabbi, and kissed him. [26:50]But Jesus said to him, Comrade,\nfor what have you come? Then they came forward, and laid hands on\nJesus, and took him. [26:51]And behold, one of those with Jesus,\nstretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of\nthe chief priest cut off his ear.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-30, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-01-31 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [26:52]Then Jesus said to him, Put up\nyour sword in its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the\nsword. [26:53]Do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would\nfurnish me more than twelve legions of angels? [26:54]How then would\nthe Scriptures be accomplished, that it must be so? 4 [26:55]At that time Jesus said to the multitudes, Have you come out\nas against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me? I sat daily\nteaching in the temple, and you did not take me; [26:56]but all this\nwas done that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the\ndisciples all forsook him and fled. [26:57]And having taken Jesus,\nthey led him away to Caiaphas, the chief priest, where the scribes and\nelders were assembled. [26:58]But Peter followed him at a distance,\neven to the court of the chief priest, and going in sat with the\nofficers to see the end. 5 [26:59]And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim sought false\ntestimony against Jesus to kill him, [26:60]and did not find it, though\nmany false witnesses came forward. But afterwards, two coming forward\n[26:61]said, This man said, I can destroy the temple of God and build\nit in three days. [26:62] And the chief priest rising up said to him,\nDo you answer nothing? What do these testify against you? [26:63]But\nJesus was silent. And the chief priest answering, said to him, I adjure\nyou, by the living God, to tell me if you are the Christ, the Son of\nGod. [26:64]Jesus said to him, As you say; but I tell you that\nhereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the\npower, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 6 [26:65]Then the chief priest rent his clothes, saying, He has\nblasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you\nhave heard the blasphemy. [26:66]What do you think? And they answered\nand said, He is worthy of death. [26:67]Then they spit in his face, and\nstruck him with their fists, and some struck him with the palms of\ntheir hands, [26:68]saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, who is it that\nstruck you? 7 [26:69]But Peter sat without in the court; and a female servant came\nto him, saying, You also were with Jesus the Galilean. [26:70]But he\ndenied it before all, saying, I know not what you say. [26:71]And going\nout into the porch, another [female servant] saw him, and said to those\nthere, This man was also with Jesus the Nazoraean. [26:72]And again he\ndenied with an oath, saying, I know not the man. [26:73]But after a\nlittle while those standing by came forward, and said to Peter,\nCertainly you are also one of them, for your speech makes you manifest. [26:74]Then he began to curse and swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately a cock crew; [26:75]and Peter remembered the word of\nJesus, who said, Before a cock crows you will deny me thrice; and he\nwent out and wept bitterly. CHAPTER XXV. CHRIST BEFORE PONTIUS PILATE. 1 [27:1]AND when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of\nthe people took counsel against Jesus to kill him. [27:2]And having\nbound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the\nprocurator. [27:3]Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was\ncondemned, repenting, returned the thirty shekels of silver [$16.80] to\nthe chief priests and elders, [27:4] saying, I have sinned, betraying\ninnocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see you to it. [27:5]And throwing down the silver in the temple he departed; and\nhaving gone away strangled himself. 2 [27:6]And the chief priests taking the silver said, It is not lawful\nto put it into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. [27:7]And taking counsel, they bought with it the potter's field for a\nburying place for strangers. [27:8]For this reason, the field is called\na field of blood to this day. [27:9]Then was fulfilled the word spoken\nby Jeremiah the prophet, saying; And they took the thirty shekels of\nsilver, the price of him that was prized, whom [men] from the sons of\nIsrael set a price upon, [27:10]and gave them for the potter's field,\nas the Lord commanded me. 3 [27:11]And Jesus stood before the procurator; and the procurator\nasked him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him,\nAs you say. [27:12] And when he was accused by the chief priests and\nelders he answered nothing. [27:13]Then Pilate said to him, Do you not\nhear how many things they testify against you? [27:14]And he answered\nhim not a word; so that the procurator wondered greatly. 4 [27:15]And at the feast the procurator was accustomed to release to\nthe multitude one prisoner, whom they chose; [27:16]and he then had a\nnoted prisoner called Barabbas. [27:17]When, therefore, they were\nassembled together, Pilate said to them, Which do you wish me to\nrelease to you? Barabbas? or Jesus, called Christ? [27:18]For he knew\nthat they had delivered him up from envy. [27:19]And as he sat on the\ntribunal his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that\njust man, for I have suffered much to-day on his account, from a dream. 5 [27:20]But the chief priests and elders persuaded the people to ask\nfor Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus. [27:21]And the procurator answered\nand said to them, Which of the two do you wish me to release to you? And they said, Barabbas. [27:22]Pilate said to them, What then shall I\ndo to Jesus, called Christ? They all said, Let him be crucified. [27:23]But he said, [No]; for what evil has he done? And they cried\nmore vehemently, saying, Let him be crucified. 6 [27:24]And Pilate seeing that he accomplished nothing, but that\nrather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the\nmultitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this man; see you to\nit. [27:25]And all the people answered and said, His blood be upon us\nand upon our children. [27:26]Then he released Barabbas to them, and\nhaving scourged Jesus delivered him up to be crucified. CHAPTER XXVI. CHRIST'S DEATH AND BURIAL. 1 [27:27]THEN the soldiers of the procurator taking Jesus to the\nPraetorium assembled about him the whole cohort, [27:28]and stripped\nhim, and put on him a crimson cloak, [27:29]and making a crown of\nthorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they\nknelt before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! [27:30]And they spit on him, and took the reed and beat him on his\nhead. [27:31]And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off from\nhim, and put on him his own clothes, and led him away to crucify him. 2 [27:32]And going out, they found a Cyrenian by the name of Simon,\nwhom they compelled to bear his cross. [27:33]And coming to a place\ncalled Golgotha, which is called A place of a cranium, [27:34]they gave\nhim vinegar to drink mixed with gall; and when he had tasted of it he\nwould not drink. 3 [27:35]And having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting\nlots, [27:36]and sat down and watched him there. [27:37]And they put\nover his head his accusation, written; THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE\nJEWS.\n\n<System> Please remember what the user reads on 2024-01-31, save the details within the book, and retain a summary of the book the user has read so far.", "[Event happened on 2024-02-01 The user is reading a book]\n<User> [27:38]Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right\nhand, and the other on the left. 4 [27:39]And those who went by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,\n[27:40]and saying, You that destroy the temple and build it in three\ndays, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the\ncross. [27:41]And the chief priests in like manner also mocked him,\nwith the scribes and elders, and said, [27:42]He saved others, himself\nhe cannot save. If he is the king of Israel let him come down now from\nthe cross, and we will believe on him; [27:43]he trusted in God; let\nhim deliver him if he wishes for him; for he said, I am a Son of God. [27:44]The robbers also that were crucified with him did the same, and\nreproached him. [27:45]And from the sixth hour there was darkness on\nall the land till the ninth hour; [27:46]and at about the ninth hour\nJesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that\nis, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [27:47]And some of those\nstanding there hearing him, said, He calls for Elijah. [27:48]And one\nof them ran immediately to him, and took a sponge, and filled it with\nvinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink. [27:49]But\nthe rest said, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come and save\nhim. [27:50]And Jesus crying again with a loud voice, gave up the\nspirit. 5 [27:51]And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in two, from top\nto bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks rent, [27:52]and the\ntombs were opened, and many bodies of saints that slept arose,\n[27:53]and going out of the tombs, after his resurrection entered into\nthe holy city, and appeared to many. 6 [27:54]And the centurion and those with him watching Jesus, seeing\nthe earthquake, and the [other] events which occurred, were greatly\nafraid, and said, Certainly, this was a Son of God. [27:55]And there\nwere many women there, beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from\nGalilee, to wait upon him; [27:56]among whom were Mary the Magdalene,\nand Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of\nZebedee. 7 [27:57]And when it was evening a rich man came from Arimathea, by the\nname of Joseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jesus; [27:58]this\nman went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate\ncommanded it to be given him; [27:59]and Joseph took the body, and\nwrapped it in clean linen, [27:60] and placed it in a new tomb of his\nwhich he had excavated in a rock, and having rolled a great stone to\nthe door of the tomb he went away; [27:61]and Mary the Magdalene and\nthe other Mary were there, sitting opposite to the tomb. CHAPTER XXVII. CHRIST AFTER HIS RESURRECTION. 1 [27:62]AND on the next day, which is after the preparation, the chief\npriests and Pharisees were assembled together to Pilate, [27:63]and\nsaid, Sir, we remember that this deceiver said when he was yet alive,\nAfter three days I will rise. [27:64]Command, therefore, the tomb to be\nmade safe till the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal\nhim, and say to the people, He is raised from the dead, and the last\nerror be worse than the first. [27:65]Pilate said to them, You have a\nguard; go and make it as safe as you can. [27:66]And they went and made\nthe tomb safe with a guard, having sealed the stone. 2 [28:1]And after the sabbath, when it began to dawn on the first day\nof the week, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the\ntomb. [28:2]And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of\nthe Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat\nupon it. [28:3]And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing\nas white as snow; [28:4]and from fear of him the keepers shook and\nbecame like dead men. [28:5]And the angel answered and said to the\nwomen, Fear not, for I know that you seek Jesus the crucified. [28:6]He\nis not here, for he is raised, as he said. Come and see the place where\nthe Lord lay, [28:7]and go immediately and tell his disciples that he\nis raised from the dead; and behold, he will go before you into\nGalilee; there shall you see him. Behold, I have told you. [28:8]And\ngoing out immediately from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran\nto tell his disciples. 3 [28:9]And behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail! And they\napproached him, and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. [28:10]Then Jesus said to them, Fear not; go and tell my brothers to go\nto Galilee, and there they shall see me. [28:11]And as they went,\nbehold, some of the guard came into the city and told the chief priests\nall the things which had happened. [28:12]And being assembled with the\nelders, and taking counsel, they gave large sums of money to the\nsoldiers, [28:13]saying, Say that his disciples came by night and stole\nhim while we slept; [28:14]and if this is heard of by the procurator we\nwill satisfy him and secure you.
