Lk Chapter 12 Verses 1-59

12:1
At
that
time,
when
thousands
of
the
people
had
come
together,
in
such
numbers
that
they
were
crushing
one
another,
he
said
first
to
his
disciples,
Have
nothing
to
do
with
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees,
which
is
deceit.
12:2
But
nothing
is
covered up,
which
will not come
to
light,
or
secret,
which
will not
be
made
clear.
12:3
So,
whatever
you
have
said
in
the
dark,
will
come to
men’s
hearing
in
the light,
and
what
you
have
said
secretly
inside
the
house,
will
be
made
public
from
the
house-tops.
12:4
And
I
say
to
you,
my
friends,
Have
no
fear
of
those
who
may
put
the
body
to
death,
and
are able
to
do
no more
than
that.
12:5
But
I
will
make
clear
to
you
of
whom
you
are
to
be
in
fear:
of
him
who
after
death
has
power
to
send
you
to
hell;
yes,
truly
I
say,
Have
fear
of
him.
12:6
Are not
five
sparrows
given
in
exchange
for
two
farthings?
and
God
has
every
one
of
them
in
mind.
12:7
But
even
the
hairs
of
your
head
are
numbered.
Have
no
fear:
you
are
of
more
value
than
a
flock
of
sparrows.
12:8
And
I
say
to
you
that
to
everyone
who
gives
witness
to
me
before
men,
the
Son
of
man
will
give
witness
before
the
angels
of
God.
12:9
But
if
anyone
says
before
men
that
he
has
no
knowledge
of
me,
I
will
say
that
I
have
no
knowledge
of
him
before
the
angels
of
God.
12:10
And
if
anyone
says
a
word
against
the
Son
of
man,
he
will
have
forgiveness:
but
for
him
who
says
evil
words
against
the
Holy Spirit,
there
will
be
no
forgiveness.
12:11
And
when
they
take
you
before
the
Synagogues
and
the
authorities
and
the
rulers,
take
no
thought about
what
answers
you
will
give,
or
what
you
will
say:
12:12
For
the
Holy Spirit
will
make
clear
to
you
in
that
very
hour
what
to
say.
12:13
And
one
of
the
people
said
to
him,
Master,
give
an
order
to
my
brother
to
make
division
of
the
heritage
with
me.
12:14
But
he
said,
Man,
who
made
me
a
judge
or
a
maker
of
decisions
for
you?
12:15
And
he
said
to
them,
Take care
to
keep
yourselves
free
from
the
desire
for
property;
for
a
man’s
life
is
not
made up
of
the
number
of
things
which
he
has.
12:16
And
he
said
to
them,
in
a
story,
The
land
of
a
certain
man
of
great
wealth
was
very
fertile:
12:17
And
he
said
to
himself,
What
is
to
be
done?
for
I
have
no place
in
which
to
put
all
my
fruit.
12:18
And
he
said,
This
I
will
do:
I
will
take
down
my
store-houses
and
make
greater
ones,
and
there
I
will
put
all
my
grain
and
my
goods.
12:19
And
I
will
say
to
my
soul,
Soul,
you
have
a
great
amount
of
goods
in
store,
enough
for
a
number
of
years;
be
at
rest,
take
food
and
wine
and
be
happy.
12:20
But
God
said
to
him,
You
foolish
one,
tonight
I
will
take
your
soul
from
you,
and
who
then
will
be
the
owner
of
all
the
things
which
you
have
got
together?
12:21
So
that
is
what
comes to
the
man
who
gets
wealth
for
himself,
and
has not
wealth
in
the
eyes
of
God.
12:22
And
he
said
to
his
disciples,
For
this
reason
I
say
to
you,
Take
no
thought
for
your
life,
about
what
food
you
will
take,
or
for
your
body,
how
it
may
be
clothed.
12:23
Is
not
life
more
than
food,
and
the
body
than
its
clothing?
12:24
Give
thought
to
the
ravens;
they
do not put
seeds
into
the
earth,
or
get
together
grain;
they
have
no
store-houses
or
buildings;
and
God
gives
them
their
food:
of
how much
greater
value
are you
than
the
birds!
12:25
And
which
of
you
by
taking
thought
is able
to
make
himself
any
taller?
12:26
If,
then,
you
are not
able
to
do
even
that
which
is
least,
why
are you
troubled
about
the rest?
12:27
Give
thought
to
the
flowers:
they
do
no
work,
they
make
no
thread;
and
still
I
say
to
you,
Even
Solomon,
in
all
his
glory,
was
not
clothed
like
one
of
these.
12:28
But
if
God
gives
such
clothing
to
the
grass
in
the
field,
which
today
is
living,
and
tomorrow
will
be
burned
in
the
oven,
how much
more
will
he
give
clothing
to
you,
O
men
of
little
faith?
12:29
And
do not
give
overmuch
thought
to
your
food and drink,
and
let
not
your
mind
be
full
of
doubts.
12:30
For
the
nations
of
the
world
go
in
search
of
all
these
things:
but
your
Father
has
knowledge
that
you
have
need
of
them.
12:31
But
let
your
chief
care
be
for
his
kingdom,
and
these
other
things
will
be
given
to
you
in addition.
12:32
Have
no
fear,
little
flock,
for
it
is
your
Father’s
good
pleasure
to
give
you
the
kingdom.
12:33
Give
what
property
you
have
in
exchange
for
money,
and
give
the
money
to
the
poor;
make
for
yourselves
money-bags
which
will not
get
old,
wealth
stored
up
in
heaven
which
will
be
yours
for ever,
where
thieves
will not come
nor
worms
put
it
to
destruction.
12:34
For
where
your
wealth
is,
there
will
your
heart
be.
12:35
Be
ready,
dressed
as
for
a
journey,
with
your
lights
burning.
12:36
And
be
like
men
who
are
looking
for
their
lord,
when
he
comes back
from
the
bride-feast;
so
that
when
he
comes to
the
door,
it
will
be
open
to
him
quickly.
12:37
Happy
are
those
servants
who
are
watching
when
the
lord
comes;
truly
I
say
to
you,
he
will
make
himself
their
servant
and,
placing
them
at
the
table,
he
will
come out
and
give
them
food.
12:38
And
if
he
comes in
the
second
division
of
the
night
or
in
the
third,
and
they
are
watching
for
him,
happy
are
those
servants.
12:39
But
be
certain
of
this,
that
if
the
master
of
the
house
had had
knowledge
of
the
time
when
the
thief
was
coming,
he
would
have been
watching,
and
would not
have
let
his
house
be
broken
into.
12:40
So
be
ready:
for
the
Son
of
man
is
coming
at
a
time
when
you
are not
looking
for
him.
12:41
And
Peter
said
to
him,
Lord,
are
these
words
said
to
us
only,
or
to
all
men?
12:42
And
the
Lord
said,
Who
then
is
the
wise
and
responsible
servant
whom
his
lord
will
put in
control
of
his
family,
to
give
them
their
food
at
the
right time?
12:43
Happy
is
that
servant
who,
when
his
lord
comes,
is
doing
so.
12:44
Truly
I
say
to
you,
he
will
put
him
in
control
of
all
his
goods.
12:45
But
if
that
servant
says
to
himself,
My
lord
is
a
long time
coming;
and
goes
about
giving
blows
to
the
men-servants
and
the
women-servants,
feasting
and
taking
overmuch
wine;
12:46
The
lord
of
that
servant
will
come
at
a
time
when
he
is
not
looking
for
him,
and
at
an
hour
when
he
is
not
ready
for
him,
and
he
will
have
him
cut
in
two
and
will
give
him
his
part
in
the
fate
of
those
who
have
no
faith;
12:47
And
the
servant
who
had
knowledge
of
his
lord’s
desires
and
was
not
ready
for
him
and
did not
do
as
he
was
ordered,
will
be
given
a
great
number
of
blows;
12:48
But
he
who,
without
knowledge,
did
things
for
which
punishment
is
given,
will
get
only
a
small
number
of
blows.
The
man
to
whom
much
is
given,
will
have to
give
much;
if
much
is
given
into
his
care,
of
him
more
will
be
requested.
12:49
I
came to
send
a
fire
on
the
earth,
and
it
may
even
now
have been
lighted.
12:50
But
there
is
a
baptism
which
I
have to
undergo;
and
how
am I
kept
back
till
it
is
complete!
12:51
Is
it
your
opinion
that
I
have
come to
give
peace
on
earth?
I
say
to
you,
No,
but
division:
12:52
For
from
this
time,
a
family
of
five
in
one
house
will
be
on
opposite sides,
three
against
two
and
two
against
three.
12:53
They
will
be
at
war,
the
father
against
his
son,
and
the
son
against
his
father;
mother
against
daughter,
and
daughter
against
mother;
mother-in-law
against
daughter-in-law,
and
daughter-in-law
against
mother-in-law.
12:54
Then
he
said
to
the
people,
When
you
see
a
cloud
coming
up
in
the
west,
straight away
you
say,
There
will
be
rain;
and
so
it
is.
12:55
And
when
you
see
a
south
wind
blowing,
you
say,
There
will
be
heat;
and
so
it
is.
12:56
O
false
ones!
the
face
of
the
earth
and
the
heaven
is
clear
to
you;
how
is
it
that
the
signs
of
these
times
are not
as
clear
to
you?
12:57
And
why
are you,
in
your
hearts,
unable
to
be
judges
of
what
is
right?
12:58
For
if
anyone
has
a
cause
at
law
against
you,
and
you
are
going
with
him
before
the
ruler,
make
an
attempt,
on
the
way,
to
come to
an
agreement
with
him,
for
if
you
do not,
he
may
take
you
before
the
judge
and
the
judge
will
give
you
up to
the police,
and
they
will
put
you
in
prison.
12:59
I
say
to
you,
You
will not come
out of
it
till
you
have
made
payment
to
the
very
last
farthing.
