✞The Life of Christ ✞
What Did Jesus Say About Salvation?
An adulteress is brought to Jesus
(John 8:2-11)
And early in the morning he came
again into the temple, and all the
people came unto him; and he sat
down, and taught them. And the
scribes and Pharisees brought unto
him a woman taken in adultery; and
when they had set her in the midst,
They say unto him, Master, this woman
was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us,
that such should be stoned: but what
sayest thou? This they said, tempting
him, that they might have to accuse
him. But Jesus stooped down, and with
his finger wrote on the ground, as
though he heard them not. So when
they continued asking him, he lifted up
himself, and said unto them, He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast
a stone at her. And again he stooped
down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted
by their own conscience, went out one by
one, beginning at the eldest, even unto
the last: and Jesus was left alone, and
the woman standing in the midst. When
Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none
but the woman, he said unto her,
Woman, where are those thine accusers?
hath no man condemned thee? She said,
No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin
no more. (John 8:2-11)
Jesus Claims To Be The
Light Of The World
(John 8:12-20)
Then spake Jesus again unto
them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth
me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him,
Thou bearest record of thyself; thy
record is not true. Jesus answered and
said unto them, Though I bear record of
myself, yet my record is true: for I know
whence I came, and whither I go; but ye
cannot tell whence I come, and whither I
go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no
man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is
true: for I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent me.
It is also written in your law, that the
testimony of two men is true. I am one
that bear witness of myself, and the
Father that sent me beareth witness of
me. Then said they unto him, Where is
thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither
know me, nor my Father: if ye had
known me, ye should have known my
Father also. These words spake Jesus in
the treasury, as he taught in the temple:
and no man laid hands on him; for his
hour was not yet come. (Jn 8:12-20)
Jesus compares His Father
and the Jews’ father
(John 8:21-59)
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my
way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die
in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot
come. Then said the Jews, Will he kill
himself? because he saith, Whither I go,
ye cannot come. And he said unto them,
Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye
are of this world; I am not of this world.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall
die in your sins: for if ye believe not that
I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then
said they unto him, Who art thou? And
Jesus saith unto them, Even the same
that I said unto you from the beginning. I
have many things to say and to judge of
you: but he that sent me is true; and I
speak to the world those things which I
have heard of him. They understood not
that he spake to them of the Father.
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye
have lifted up the Son of man, then shall
ye know that I am he, and that I do
nothing of myself; but as my Father hath
taught me, I speak these things. And he
that sent me is with me: the Father hath
not left me alone; for I do always those
things that please him. As he spake
these words, many believed on him.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which
believed on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free. They
answered him, We be Abraham's seed,
and were never in bondage to any man:
how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Whosoever committeth
sin is the servant of sin. And the
servant abideth not in the house for
ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the
Son therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed. I know that ye
are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to
kill me, because my word hath no
place in you. I speak that which I have
seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father.
They answered and said unto him,
Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto
them, If ye were Abraham's children,
ye would do the works of Abraham. But
now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath
told you the truth, which I have heard
of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the
deeds of your father. Then said they to
him, We be not born of fornication; we
have one Father, even God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your
Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded
forth and came from God; neither came I
of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not
understand my speech? even because ye
cannot hear my word. Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it. And because I tell you the truth, ye
believe me not. Which of you convinceth
me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do
ye not believe me? He that is of God
heareth God's words: ye therefore hear
them not, because ye are not of God.
Then answered the Jews, and said unto
him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but
I honour my Father, and ye do
dishonour me. And I seek not mine own
glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If
a man keep my saying, he shall never
see death. Then said the Jews unto him,
Now we know that thou hast a devil.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and
thou sayest, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never taste of death.
Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the
prophets are dead: whom makest thou
thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour
myself, my honour is nothing: it is my
Father that honoureth me; of whom ye
say, that he is your God: Yet ye have not
known him; but I know him: and if I
should say, I know him not, I shall be a
liar like unto you: but I know him, and
keep his saying.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my
day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then
said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet
fifty years old, and hast thou seen
Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am. Then took they up stones to
cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and
went out of the temple, going through the
midst of them, and so passed by.
(John 8:21-59)
Jesus Heals A Man Born Blind
John 9:1 - 41
Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man
who was blind from birth. And His
disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who
sinned, this man or his parents, that he
was born blind?" Jesus answered,
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned,
but that the works of God should be
revealed in him. I must work the works
of Him who sent Me while it is day; the
night is coming when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world." When He had said
these things, He spat on the ground and
made clay with the saliva; and He
anointed the eyes of the blind man with
the clay. And He said to him, "Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam" (which is translated,
Sent). So he went and washed, and came
back seeing. Therefore the neighbors and
those who previously had seen that he
was blind said, "Is not this he who sat
and begged?" Some said, "This is he."
Others said, "He is like him." He said, "I
am he." Therefore they said to him, "How
were your eyes opened?" He answered
and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay
and anointed my eyes and said to me,
'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I
went and washed, and I received sight."
Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He
said, "I do not know." They brought him
who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.
Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made
the clay and opened his eyes.
Then the Pharisees also asked him again
how he had received his sight. He said to
them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I
washed, and I see." Therefore some of
the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from
God, because He does not keep the
Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man
who is a sinner do such signs?" And there
was a division among them. They said to
the blind man again, "What do you say
about Him because He opened your
eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
But the Jews did not believe concerning
him, that he had been blind and received
his sight, until they called the parents of
him who had received his sight. And they
asked them, saying, "Is this your son,
who you say was born blind? How then
does he now see?" His parents answered
them and said, "We know that this is our
son, and that he was born blind; but by
what means he now sees we do not
know, or who opened his eyes we do not
know. He is of age; ask him.
He will speak for himself." His parents
said these things because they feared the
Jews, for the Jews had agreed already
that if anyone confessed that He was
Christ, he would be put out of the
synagogue. Therefore his parents said,
"He is of age; ask him." So they again
called the man who was blind, and said to
him, "Give God the glory! We know that
this Man is a sinner." He answered and
said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do
not know.
One thing I know: that though I was
blind, now I see." Then they said to him
again, "What did He do to you? How did
He open your eyes?" He answered them,
"I told you already, and you did not
listen. Why do you want to hear it again?
Do you also want to become His
disciples?" Then they reviled him and
said, "You are His disciple, but we are
Moses' disciples. We know that God spoke
to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not
know where He is from."
The man answered and said to them,
"Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you
do not know where He is from; yet He
has opened my eyes! Now we know that
God does not hear sinners; but if anyone
is a worshiper of God and does His will,
He hears him. Since the world began it
has been unheard of that anyone opened
the eyes of one who was born blind. If
this Man were not from God, He could do
nothing."
They answered and said to him, "You
were completely born in sins, and are you
teaching us?" And they cast him out.
Jesus heard that they had cast him out;
and when He had found him, He said to
him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord,
that I may believe in Him?" And Jesus
said to him, "You have both seen Him and
it is He who is talking with you." Then he
said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped
Him.
And Jesus said, "For judgment I have
come into this world, that those who do
not see may see, and that those who see
may be made blind." Then some of the
Pharisees who were with Him heard these
words, and said to Him, "Are we blind
also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were
blind, you would have no sin; but now
you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin
remains. (John 9:1-41 NKJV)
Jesus Is The Good Shepherd
John 10:1 - 21
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
entereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up some other
way, the same is a thief and a robber. But
he that entereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter
openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:
and he calleth his own sheep by name,
and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own
sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his
voice. And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they know not
the voice of strangers. This parable spake
Jesus unto them: but they understood
not what things they were which he
spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto
them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did
not hear them. I am the door: by me if
any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find
pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly. I
am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth the sheep. The
hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling,
and careth not for the sheep. I am the
good shepherd, and know my sheep,
and am known of mine. As the Father
knoweth me, even so know I the Father:
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not
of this fold: them also I must bring, and
they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father love me,
because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again. No man taketh it from
me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power
to take it again. This commandment
have I received of my Father.
There was a division therefore again
among the Jews for these sayings.
And many of them said, He hath a
devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
Others said, These are not the
words of him that hath a devil. Can
a devil open the eyes of the blind?
(John 10:1-21 KJV)
Narrative In Luke
Location Uncertain
Mission Of The Seventy
Luke 10:1 – 24
After these things the Lord appointed
other seventy also, and sent them two
and two before his face into every city
and place, whither he himself would
come. Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers
are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth
labourers into his harvest.
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as
lambs among wolves. Carry neither
purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no
man by the way. And into whatsoever
house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this
house. And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it
shall turn to you again. And in the same
house remain, eating and drinking such
things as they give: for the labourer is
worthy of his hire. Go not from house to
house.
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and
they receive you, eat such things as are
set before you: And heal the sick that are
therein, and say unto them, The kingdom
of God is come nigh unto you. But into
whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive
you not, go your ways out into the streets
of the same, and say, Even the very dust
of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do
wipe off against you: notwithstanding be
ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is
come nigh unto you.
But I say unto you, that it shall be more
tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for
that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe
unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty
works had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
which have been done in you, they had a
great while ago repented, sitting in
sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
judgment, than for you. And thou,
Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven,
shalt be thrust down to hell.
He that heareth you heareth me; and he
that despiseth you despiseth me; and he
that despiseth me despiseth him that
sent me. And the seventy returned again
with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are
subject unto us through thy name. And
he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give
unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy: and nothing shall by any means
hurt you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that
the spirits are subject unto you; but
rather rejoice, because your names are
written in heaven. In that hour Jesus
rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
thou hast hid these things from the wise
and prudent, and hast revealed them
unto babes: even so, Father; for so it
seemed good in thy sight.
(Luke 10:1-21 KJV)
Parable Of The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25 – 37
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up
and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said
to him, "What is written in the law? What
is your reading of it?" So he answered
and said, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD
YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH
ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR
STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND,'
and 'YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'"
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up
and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said
to him, "What is written in the law? What
is your reading of it?" So he answered
and said, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD
YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH
ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR
STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND,'
and 'YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'"
And He said to him, "You have answered
rightly; do this and you will live."
But he, wanting to justify himself, said to
Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Then
Jesus answered and said: "A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among thieves, who stripped him
of his clothing, wounded him, and
departed, leaving him half dead. Now by
chance a certain priest came down that
road. And when he saw him, he passed
by on the other side. Likewise a Levite,
when he arrived at the place, came and
looked, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was. And when he saw
him, he had compassion. So he went to
him and bandaged his wounds, pouring
on oil and wine; and he set him on his
own animal, brought him to an inn, and
took care of him. On the next day, when
he departed, he took out two denarii,
gave them to the innkeeper, and said to
him, 'Take care of him; and whatever
more you spend, when I come again, I
will repay you.'
So which of these three do you think
was neighbor to him who fell among
the thieves?" And he said, "He who
showed mercy on him." Then Jesus
said to him, "Go and do likewise."
(Luke 10:25-37 NKJV)

(Luke 10:25-37 NKJV)
Jesus Visits Mary And Martha
Luke 10:38 – 42
Now it happened as they went that He
entered a certain village; and a certain
woman named Martha welcomed Him into
her house. And she had a sister called
Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and
heard His word. But Martha was
distracted with much serving, and she
approached Him and said, "Lord, do You
not care that my sister has left me to
serve alone?
Therefore tell her to help me." And
Jesus answered and said to her,
"Martha, Martha, you are worried
and troubled about many things.
But one thing is needed, and Mary
has chosen that good part, which
will not be taken away from her."
(Luke 10:38-42 NKJV)
Jesus Encourages His Disciples
To Pray
Luke 11:1 – 13
Now it came to pass, as He was praying
in a certain place, when He ceased, that
one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord,
teach us to pray, as John also taught his
disciples." So He said to them,
"When you pray, say: Our Father in
heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your
kingdom come. Your will be done On
earth as it is in heaven. Give us day
by day our daily bread. And forgive
us our sins, For we also forgive
everyone who is indebted to us. And
do not lead us into temptation, But
deliver us from the evil one."
And He said to them, "Which of you
shall have a friend, and go to him at
midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend
me three loaves; for a friend of mine
has come to me on his journey, and I
have nothing to set before him'; and
he will answer from within and say,
'Do not trouble me; the door is now
shut, and my children are with me in
bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?
I say to you, though he will not rise
and give to him because he is his
friend, yet because of his persistence
he will rise and give him as many as
he needs. "So I say to you, ask, and it
will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened
to you. For everyone who asks
receives, and he who seeks finds, and
to him who knocks it will be opened.
If a son asks for bread from any father
among you, will he give him a stone? Or
if he asks for a fish, will he give him a
serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks
for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much
more will your heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
(Luke 11:1-13 NKJV)
Blasphemous Accusations
Against Jesus
Luke 11:14 – 36
And He was casting out a demon, and it
was mute. So it was, when the demon
had gone out, that the mute spoke; and
the multitudes marveled. But some of
them said, "He casts out demons by
Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."
Others, testing Him, sought from Him a
sign from heaven.
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to
them: "Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation, and a
house divided against a house falls. If
Satan also is divided against himself, how
will his kingdom stand? Because you say I
cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I
cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom
do your sons cast them out? Therefore
they will be your judges. But if I cast out
demons with the finger of God, surely the
kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards
his own palace, his goods are in peace.
But when a stronger than he comes upon
him and overcomes him, he takes from
him all his armor in which he trusted, and
divides his spoils. He who is not with Me
is against Me, and he who does not
gather with Me scatters. "When an
unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes
through dry places, seeking rest; and
finding none, he says, 'I will return to my
house from which I came.'
And when he comes, he finds it swept
and put in order. Then he goes and
takes with him seven other spirits more
wicked than himself, and they enter
and dwell there; and the last state of
that man is worse than the first." And it
happened, as He spoke these things,
that a certain woman from the crowd
raised her voice and said to Him,
"Blessed is the womb that bore You,
and the breasts which nursed You!"
But He said, "More than that, blessed are
those who hear the word of God and keep
it!" And while the crowds were thickly
gathered together, He began to say, "This
is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and
no sign will be given to it except the sign
of Jonah the prophet. For as Jonah
became a sign to the Ninevites, so also
the Son of Man will be to this generation.
The queen of the South will rise up in the
judgment with the men of this generation
and condemn them, for she came from
the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and indeed a greater than
Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will
rise up in the judgment with this
generation and condemn it, for they
repented at the preaching of Jonah; and
indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts
it in a secret place or under a basket,
but on a lampstand, that those who
come in may see the light. The lamp of
the body is the eye. Therefore, when
your eye is good, your whole body also
is full of light. But when your eye is
bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Therefore take heed that the light
which is in you is not darkness. If
then your whole body is full of light,
having no part dark, the whole body
will be full of light, as when the bright
shining of a lamp gives you light."
(Luke 11:14-36 NKJV)
While Eating With A Pharisee,
Jesus Condemns The Pharisees
And Arouses Their Wrath
Luke 11:37 – 54
And as he spake, a certain
Pharisee besought him to dine with
him: and he went in, and sat down
to meat. And when the Pharisee
saw it, he marvelled that he had
not first washed before dinner.
And the Lord said unto him, Now do
ye Pharisees make clean the outside
of the cup and the platter; but your
inward part is full of ravening and
wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that
made that which is without make that
which is within also? But rather give
alms of such things as ye have; and,
behold, all things are clean unto you.
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe
mint and rue and all manner of herbs,
and pass over judgment and the love of
God: these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone. Woe unto
you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost
seats in the synagogues, and greetings in
the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as
graves which appear not, and the men
that walk over them are not aware of
them.
Then answered one of the lawyers, and
said unto him, Master, thus saying thou
reproachest us also. And he said, Woe
unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade
men with burdens grievous to be borne,
and ye yourselves touch not the burdens
with one of your fingers. Woe unto you!
for ye build the sepulchres of the
prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the
deeds of your fathers: for they indeed
killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I
will send them prophets and apostles,
and some of them they shall slay and
persecute: That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be required
of this generation; From the blood of
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which
perished between the altar and the
temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be
required of this generation.
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken
away the key of knowledge: ye entered
not in yourselves, and them that were
entering in ye hindered. And as he said
these things unto them, the scribes and
the Pharisees began to urge him
vehemently, and to provoke him to speak
of many things: Laying wait for him, and
seeking to catch something out of his
mouth, that they might accuse him.
(Luke 11:37-54 KJV)
Jesus Preaches To The Great
Multitudes:
Warnings And Encouragements
Luke 12:1 – 12
In the mean time, when there were
gathered together an innumerable
multitude of people, insomuch that
they trode one upon another, he
began to say unto his disciples first
of all, Beware ye of the leaven of
the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing covered, that shall
not be revealed; neither hid, that shall
not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye
have spoken in darkness shall be heard
in the light; and that which ye have
spoken in the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the housetops. And I
say unto you my friends, Be not afraid
of them that kill the body, and after
that have no more that they can do.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall
fear: Fear him, which after he hath
killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I
say unto you, Fear him. Are not five
sparrows sold for two farthings, and not
one of them is forgotten before God?
But even the very hairs of your head are
all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are
of more value than many sparrows.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall
confess me before men, him shall the
Son of man also confess before the
angels of God: But he that denieth me
before men shall be denied before the
angels of God. And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him: but unto him
that blasphemeth against the Holy
Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
And when they bring you unto the
synagogues, and unto magistrates,
and powers, take ye no thought
how or what thing ye shall answer,
or what ye shall say: For the Holy
Ghost shall teach you in the same
hour what ye ought to say.
(Luke 12:1-12 KJV)
Parable Of The Rich Fool
Luke 12:13 - 21
And one of the company said unto
him, Master, speak to my brother, that
he divide the inheritance with me. And
he said unto him, Man, who made me
a judge or a divider over you? And he
said unto them, Take heed, and
beware of covetousness: for a man's
life consisteth not in the abundance of
the things which he possesseth.
And he spake a parable unto them,
saying, The ground of a certain rich
man brought forth plentifully: And he
thought within himself, saying, What
shall I do, because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits? And he
said, This will I do: I will pull down my
barns, and build greater; and there will
I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, Soul,
thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat,
drink, and be merry. But God said
unto him, Thou fool, this night thy
soul shall be required of thee:
then whose shall those things be,
which thou hast provided? So is he
that layeth up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
(Luke 12:13-21 KJV)
Lessons On Attitudes Toward
Material Things
Luke 12:22 - 34
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow
nor reap; which neither have storehouse
nor barn; and God feedeth them: how
much more are ye better than the fowls?
And which of you with taking thought can
add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be
not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow: they
toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto
you, that Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these. If then
God so clothe the grass, which is to day
in the field, and to morrow is cast into
the oven; how much more will he clothe
you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the nations of
the world seek after: and your Father
knoweth that ye have need of these
things. But rather seek ye the
kingdom of God; and all these things
shall be added unto you. Fear not,
little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Sell that ye have, and give
alms; provide yourselves bags
which wax not old, a treasure
in the heavens that faileth not,
where no thief approacheth,
neither moth corrupteth. For
where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.
(Luke 12:24-34 KJV)
Parables About the Wailing
Servants And The Wise Steward
Luke 12:35 - 48
Let your loins be girded about, and
your lights burning; And ye yourselves
like unto men that wait for their lord,
when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.
Blessed are those servants, whom the
lord when he cometh shall find watching:
verily I say unto you, that he shall gird
himself, and make them to sit down to
meat, and will come forth and serve
them. And if he shall come in the second
watch, or come in the third watch, and
find them so, blessed are those servants.
And this know, that if the goodman of
the house had known what hour the
thief would come, he would have
watched, and not have suffered his
house to be broken through. Be ye
therefore ready also: for the Son of man
cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest
thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
And the Lord said, Who then is that
faithful and wise steward, whom his lord
shall make ruler over his household, to
give them their portion of meat in due
season? Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he
will make him ruler over all that he hath.
But and if that servant say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
and
shall
begin
to
beat
the
menservants and maidens, and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken; The
lord of that servant will come in a day
when he looketh not for him, and at
an hour when he is not aware, and
will cut him in sunder, and will appoint
him his portion with the unbelievers.
And that servant, which knew his lord's
will, and prepared not himself, neither
did according to his will, shall be beaten
with many stripes. But he that knew
not, and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall be beaten with few
stripes. For unto whomsoever much is
given, of him shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed
much, of him they will ask the more.
(Luke 12:35-48 KJV)
Jesus Said He came To Bring
Division, Not Peace;
The Signs Of The Times
Luke 12:49 - 59
I am come to send fire on the earth;
and what will I, if it be already
kindled? But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I
straitened till it be accomplished!
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace
on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather
division: For from henceforth there shall
be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three. The
father shall be divided against the son,
and the son against the father; the
mother against the daughter, and the
daughter against the mother; the mother
in law against her daughter in law, and
the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
And he said also to the people, When
ye see a cloud rise out of the west,
straightway ye say, There cometh a
shower; and so it is. And when ye see
the south wind blow, ye say, There
will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face
of the sky and of the earth; but how
is it that ye do not discern this time?
Yea, and why even of yourselves
judge ye not what is right?
When thou goest with thine adversary
to the magistrate, as thou art in the
way, give diligence that thou mayest
be delivered from him; lest he hale
thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and the
officer cast thee into prison. I tell
thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till
thou hast paid the very last mite.
(Luke 12:49-59 KJV)
