	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.	Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”	One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2	And he said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done, euen in earth, as it is in heauen:	And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.	He said to them, “When you pray, say: “’Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
3	Our dayly bread giue vs for the day:	Give us each day our daily bread,	Give us each day our daily bread.
4	And forgiue vs our sinnes: for euen we forgiue euery man that is indetted to vs: And leade vs not into temptation: but deliuer vs from euill.	and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”	Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
5	Moreouer he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friende, and shall goe to him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friende, lende mee three loaues?	And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,	Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6	For a friende of mine is come out of the way to me, & I haue nothing to set before him:	for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;	a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’
7	And hee within shoulde answere, and say, Trouble mee not: the doore is nowe shut, and my children are with mee in bed: I can not rise and giue them to thee.	and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?	And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’
8	I say vnto you, Though he would not arise and giue him, because he is his friende, yet doubtlesse because of his importunitie, hee woulde rise, and giue him as many as he needed.	I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.	I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
9	And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and yee shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.	And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.	“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
10	For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: & to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.	For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.	For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11	If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will he giue him a stone? Or if hee aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent?	What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;	“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12	Or if hee aske an egge, will hee giue him a scorpion?	or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?	Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13	If yee then which are euill, can giue good giftes vnto your children, howe much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Ghost to them, that desire him?	If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”	If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
14	Then hee cast out a deuill which was domme: and when the deuill was gone out, the domme spake, and the people wondered.	Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.	Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
15	But some of them said, He casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of ye deuils.	But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,”	But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”
16	And others tempted him, seeking of him a signe from heauen.	while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.	Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.
17	But he knew their thoughts, and said vnto them, Euery kingdom deuided against it self, shall be desolate, and an house deuided against an house, falleth.	But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.	Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.
18	So if Satan also bee deuided against himselfe, howe shall his kingdome stande, because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub?	And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.	If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
19	If I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whome doe your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your iudges.	And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.	Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20	But if I by ye finger of God cast out deuils, doutles the kingdome of God is come vnto you.	But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.	But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21	When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, the thinges that hee possesseth, are in peace.	When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;	“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.
22	But when a stronger then hee, commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him: hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and deuideth his spoiles.	but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.	But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23	He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.	Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.	“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
24	When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and when he findeth none he saieth, I wil returne vnto mine house whence I came out.	“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’	“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
25	And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.	And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.	When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
26	Then goeth hee, and taketh to him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe: and they enter in, and dwel there: so the last state of that man is worse then the first.	Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”	Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”
27	And it came to passe as he sayde these thinges, a certaine woman of the companie lifted vp her voyce, and sayde vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, & the pappes which thou hast sucked.	As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”	As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”
28	But hee saide, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the woorde of God, and keepe it.	But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”	He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
29	And when the people were gathered thicke together, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen them, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.	When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.	As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30	For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation.	For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.	For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31	The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement, with the men of this generation, and shall condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisedome of Solomon, and beholde, a greater then Solomon is here.	The queen of the South will rise up at 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 behold, something greater than Solomon is here.	The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here.
32	The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.	The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.	The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here.
33	No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a priuie place, neither vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, that they which come in, may see the light.	“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.	“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34	The light of the bodie is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, then is thy whole bodie light: but if thine eye be euill, then thy bodie is darke.	Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.	Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.
35	Take heede therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkenesse.	Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.	See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
36	If therefore thy whole body shall be light, hauing no part darke, then shall all be light, euen as when a candle doth light thee with the brightnesse.	If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”	Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
37	And as hee spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and hee went in, and sate downe at table.	While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table.	When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.
38	And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner.	The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.	But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
39	And the Lord saide to him, In deede yee Pharises make cleane the outside of the cuppe, and of the platter: but the inwarde part is full of rauening and wickednesse.	And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.	Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
40	Ye fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?	You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?	You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
41	Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you.	But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.	But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.
42	But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement & the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.	“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.	“Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.
43	Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.	Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.	“Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.
44	Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.	Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”	“Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.”
45	Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.	One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.”	One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”
46	And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.	And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.	Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
47	Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.	Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.	“Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them.
48	Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.	So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs.	So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
49	Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away,	Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’	Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’
50	That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,	so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,	Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,
51	From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.	from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.	from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.
52	Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade.	Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”	“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
53	And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things,	As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things,	When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions,
54	Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.	lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.	waiting to catch him in something he might say.
